LOL I get it... I've lurked the thread for years and just been kinda intimated to say anything positive about the Coyotes. But fuck it. The team is doomed, they're clearly setting up for a move and they're going to salt the earth on their way out. But I love that team for lots of personal reasons (first date with the gf, memories with family that are gone etc etc) that I'm going to love them more even though I know they're going to screw me over. It's some sick shit.
It's just the pot shots from everyone on this team and community when it's down are just so tired. I can't count how many times I've sat next to Visiting Hockey Fan who talked shit about everything regarding the team and the situation right around us, or to the ushers and even the beer dude. "Oh, in INSERT CITY HERE this place would be sold out every day har har har". Just fuck off. It's our team and we love it even if there aren't as many of us as there are in BIG CITY. And sure, most free agents sign here just so they can golf year round and there's absolutely ZERO pressure to win or even give much of a shit. We get it. We understand everything about the shit situation, and the low attendance, and that we're laughingstocks. People can stop telling us that. We know.
It'll be better when the Coyotes fuck on off to wherever and we can just get the Roadrunners back and join the AHL so we can all just go back to being hockey fans and be allowed to enjoy the game without all this ancillary bullshit of the NHL.

There's a thread in OT about a dude who almost got mugged that is a prime example of everything that's wrong with Gaf.
Don't post in it or anything, but read if you want a laugh. I'm stuck at work instead of at a bbq, hence aimless browsing.

I can't be mad at CosmicQueso's dedication to the Yotes. Salt given is salt returned.
Some stuff I just wanted to reply to:
I do notice an anti-American/pro-Canadian vibe when it comes to conversations about the Yotes with Canadians (which isn't really surprising). But where I jump off the conversation is when people start bringing up really shitty city suggestions. Most of NHL-GAF is smart and doesn't seriously go for shit suggestions.
American/Canadian hockey rivalry has always existed and will never really be tamed. Come at me, you classless bums.
"Canadian and traditional hockey fans" is a poor descriptor and I disagree with the sentiment. The league would be seriously boring if we stuck to this line of thinking when the league expanded. Anaheim, LA, San Jose, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Nashville, etc. probably wouldn't exist and those were non-traditional markets. The Yotes had some good years, but moving to Glendale was a real shot in the foot. I can only imagine what could've been if they stayed in Phoenix proper. "Traditional hockey markets" have really become a shitty code for "put an NHL team in Regina" or something like that.
If anything, it would be a smart move for the Yotes to ditch Glendale and move back to Phoenix and play out of Talking Stick Resort Arena (this is a shit name, sorry). If the Jets can sustain themselves (for now) with the MTS Centre at 15,300 capacity and the Islanders can as well at 15,800, the Yotes will probably earn some more with a capacity of 16,210. And both Barclays Center and Talking Stick Resort Arena have the same issue of both arenas configured to ice hockey, too.

I am definitely sad when it comes to sports
Thanks, Razor
And for the record, and I hope this has already been mentioned: American hockey fans hate on the Coyotes just as much if not even more.
This is the weirdest, most nonsensical post.

CosmicQueso laying down the hurt.
Nothing funnier than running into a prideful and delusional Canadian jingoist in real life.

Oh god that episode. NOPE.
Not everyone in the world can be blessed with Canadians like Don Cherry and Ron Maclean.
I'd say 95% of the time.

I'm assuming you're referring to the overreaction to the OP describing his assailant as black, rather than being non-descriptive.
That thread took a turn for the worst almost immediately.

There's a reason why I stick to the MLB, Persona and now NHL-GAF threads
Apparently you are a Flyers fan? how does that happen to a kid in Houston?

I mean, I'm 18 but even I know not to stick my dick in beehives like the got mugged and Japan suicide thread. Rather, I do it in stuff I know I can win, like Gamergate threads when they crop up.

I more meant with dealing with opinions on the board that seem straight up baffling. I know from my own experience, I've known less and less as I've gotten older. I also got to have my more ridiculous ideas before the internet existed the same way it does now.
I've been burned before by going out of the bubble, so from now on I just try and remember that people are entitled to be young and/or wrong, and I've been younger and/or more wrong before.
I'm going to get banned again in a year for saying something stupid and mean. Book it.

Hey I'm no longer the youngest here Whoooo
He's a wily veteran like David Desharnais now, or Tyler Bozak.
Yea, but you couldn't truly appreciate the devastation of the situation if you had only been watching for a year. Probably remains as my greatest playoff memory.
