Soccer crowds have to generate enough excitement to counterbalance the lack of it on the field.

most crowds are boring as shit in comparison. Watch Bundesliga games they are fucking insane

No way, hockey crowds are too off the chain. The worst is when people stand up. I'm trying to watch, people! And then they yell after a goal? Shit, I can't hear the fucking PA announcer, how am I supposed to get the official stats?
The only reason MLS crowds are as loud as they are is because of all that european/latino influence.
Don't think they see it like that, and they shouldn't. They're beating Tampa in every category this season, they shouldn't be focused on what happened last season, just on their play right now. Therrien isn't going to be in there banging a war drum because they knocked us out.
It is depressing we don't play them for so long though.

So frustrating.

Most other teams weren't predicted to be last in the league by many people.

The goonery was actually started by lumbus that game. Kings tried to match it but came up way short. BJs were throwing sucker punches, hacking Quick after the whistle, it was quite a melee.
In the end nothing clicked for the kings and it was kinda sad.
Reminded me of a canucks game a while back where all they did was fight the whole game and the kings lost then as well.
Oh lawd
HFHabs gets mad whenever they hear Olé Olé at the Bell Center because "it's bad luck", it's pathetic
yeah but that's not the point, I love the idea behind it
I want that here, flags are cool
yeah i'm aware, i'm just saying for north american standards because we'll never be on-par with European Soccer

Are you suggesting that the Coyotes' situation is no different than that of any other team? Really?
To be honest, I'm still expecting them to be a bottom five team this year. Then probably draft 6-8th because our lottery luck is non-existent.
It's that it's the kind of quote we've heard a million times across all the sports from all the athletes. I got no issue with it at all and if it gets your juices going then have a ball. It's just typical, sanitized sports speak.
I bet no one else is going to give it 110% though.

For McDavid so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten clavicle, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Duclair's quote was fine. I just think it's funny because most of the world doesn't even care about them enough to be against them

And Elrond reforged the shards of clavicle to signal the return of the king...

If that's the only part you're taking away from the quote, then you're missing the entire point.
What the quote says he's bought into Tippett's system. The same system that has taken other teams with even less raw talent into the conference finals. And the same system the Coyotes team was not fully embracing last year.
It also shows leadership from a young player. In this case, it's not "sanitized sports speak". But please, continue to look at things only at the shallowest of levels. Have a ball.
That's where they should end up this year. But the future is much brighter than I thought it could be at this time last year. Especially if they move over to Scottsdale.
Good lordy. I'm just responding to the quote. If that context exists then awesome, but I don't know how in the world I'm supposed to discern that from the quote.

So after Babcock was announced as the World Cup coach for Canada, there were a couple articles on potential rosters. Here are my suggestions:
Forwards
From 2014: Crosby, Getzlaf, Toews, Tavares, Benn, Perry, Bergeron, Carter
Additions: Stamkos, Giroux, Seguin
Maybes: Hall, Nash, Couture, Duchene, Sharp, O'Reilly, Johansen
Longshots: Neal, Stone, Toffoli, Turris
Defence
From 2014: Doughty, Weber, Keith, Subban, Pietrangelo, Vlasic
Additions: Letang, Giordano
Maybes: Green, Bouwmeester, Burns, Seabrook, Brodie
Longshots: Ekblad, Hamilton, Muzzin
Goal
Price, Holtby, Luongo
Crawford, Fleury

What about Cleary?
Agreed. As long as Strome is able to become a #1 center, I think this team could be very good in a few years. We'll still need a few of our other prospects to pan out and shore up the defense, but overall I'm very optimistic about this rebuild.
Now, how about making sure we get Matthews or Chyrchrun, Uncle Gary?

Hmm too young? Oh yeah forgot about the other team. Canada is so stacked with talent. That list of forwards are almost all centres.

Still a lot of season to go.
I'm suggesting that every team comes up with reasons why their season will be one filled with adversity. Because that's exactly what they do.

I'll be in japan when it releases, looking for theaters in Kyoto now
At 3 I think
That doesn't really dispute anything since I'm not saying they'll keep their winning record or even make the playoffs (as I said, I expect them to finish in the bottom five), and even a team that eventually finishes last can approach the season with an 'us against the world' mentality.
If I had to guess though, I'd say the Leafs will finish last, but Coyotes will be a basement dweller as well. Other than maybe the SNES, every team they've beaten were playing terribly when they played them (Pens, Ducks, and Kings), or are just bad teams (Leafs and Avs). So I think our current record isn't actually reflective of how the team will do.
Racist.

False. Ducks fans were not presented by the organization with reasons why our season would be one filled with adversity. We weren't warned about this.
Well they were presented with Milan Lucic in their division. That's a certain kind of adversity...
So pretty much exactly as envisioned. It's going to look awesome and I'm going to have to buy one.
