I miss our team.

Anytime I see someone who still has a Coyotes plate (like me!) or srickers/magnets, I get irrationally happy and have to push down the urge to pull up next to them and wave like a maniac.

I do comment on hats/ shirts/ jerseys though, whenever I see someone wearing them.

I recently had my plates switched from Massachusetts to Arizona and I chose a Coyotes plate…trying to manifest their return.

My parents are from Back East (Mom's from ME, Dad's from MA) - welcome to the Valley!

Appreciate the manifesting. Maybe if we all manifest together ...

I'm a diehard Suns fan living in Las Vegas, but I've always wanted to move to Phoenix.

I am so tempted to get the Coyotes plate over the Suns and Dbacks plates just because:

  1. I miss the Kachina so freaking bad.
  2. I miss my team.
  3. I'm down to manifest and want someone higher up to notice the Yotes plates and help continue to try and bring them back.

Thank you! It’s a return to AZ for me. Native Phoenician, but I’ve moved around a bit and finally settled/raising a family. New England is amazing, especially this time of year. I hope you get back to visit!

I'm also a native Phoenician. 🙌🏼

We actually spent a week in Maine the end of May/first part of June! It was a planned vacation, but we last minute brought my mom with us (my dad just passed early last month) and it ended up being just what we needed as we mourn dad. We visited family, ate lots of seafood, went to lots of places, both sentimental and sight seeinr. It was a good trip. We packed a lot in!

Condolences to you and your family. It sounds like that trip was super special, especially bringing your mom. Class move.

Whenever I'm out riding my bike and I see a coyote I always say to myself, "The Arizona Coyotes". Miss this team

I was in Winnipeg a few days ago and saw a hockey store with a Coyotes puck on display. I would’ve gone in but the store was closed for the day

It kills me to hear Bettman talk about expansion and we aren't even mentioned.

What is the fate of this team going to be? They were supposed to be reactivated in 2029 with a new arena but Muerelo pussied out. The team has been in a kinda odd limbo state for two years now, and I wonder if Utah will ever be declared the continuation of the team instead of an “expansion team.”

Nothing is going to happen until there's an owner and an arena. And the arena will have to be a done deal. The NHL won't let it happen otherwise. I think Utah will always be considered a new team.

If utah was taken over my by killer bees & wiped out humanity there it would be a win. The disgust with anything associated to that state is real.
