As a hockey fan and a Atlanta Thrashers fan i feel for these fans it is always gut wrenching sadness to lose a team i hope hockey returns in Arizona sure people will say it don't belong there but under good management and good ownership a team can workout anywhere as long as they have a fan base and hockey is getting popular in the states
I have an idea, the Winnipeg Jets move to Arizona to bring back the Coyotes and a couple years later bring back the Atlanta Thrashers as an expansion team, we definitely haven’t seen this plan before, have we
This was a hard watch for me for a lot of reasons...I remember watching their inaugural season when I was kid. I had some family that had just moved from NJ to AZ and I was missing them, so knowing how big of a hockey fan that I am, they sent me a Coyotes jersey and promised to take me to a game one day when I could get out there and visit them. I was not able to afford a trip out there, but watching the coyotes play, win or lose, always made me feel closer to them somehow. Always looking forward to going to see the Coyotes together, always thinking someday... I guess some things unfortunately are just not meant to be... 😢
For anyone wondering many star players weren’t playing tonight on the oilers since they had playoffs coming up. Oilers did not “let them win” they instead got beat
lifelong fan i was next to the oilers bench bawling this whole time, whole thing is sad so preventable and so obviously coming for awhile. incredibly bummed, but ty for posting
As an Islanders fan, I still feel awful for hockey fans in Arizona. We on Long Island were very close to losing the Islanders entirely after a referendum to develop the land around Nassau Coliseum was rejected by Nassau County voters in August 2011. They had to play at the Barclays Center for parts of five seasons after their lease on the crumbling Nassau Coliseum expired in 2015. The Barclays Center was not built with hockey in mind and the attendance there was terrible. A lot of people gave up their season tickets when they moved to Brooklyn in 2015. In December 2017, the team was awarded the plot of land at Belmont Park to build a new arena but the shovels didn’t go in the ground for almost two years after that because of all the lawsuits brought by nearby residents. Then we had the pandemic which halted construction for two months and as a result, the Islanders started the 2021-22 season with 13 straight road games. Finally on November 19, 2021, UBS Arena opened putting the relocation threats to bed FOREVER and all of Isles nation is very grateful.
Jackets fan here, thank you Phoenix/Arizona for bringing great competitive matches to everyone in the league and I hope you guys get your team back because no coyotes leaves a big hole in the NHL.
My girlfriend is a Vegas fan and I'm a Boston fan, and when we realized this was going to be the last game of the Arizona Coyotes, we watched it on a call together and nearly cried at the end.
It could be longer than 7 years, that's how long Minnesota got a team back after losing the North Stars to Dallas or 15 years, that's how long it took Winnipeg to get a team back
As a dallas stars fan, its sad. I personally used to like the Arizona Coyotes. I love watching the Coyotes and the Stars. Im just saying this with little knowledge and just glimpse and glances over articles and the news. But you cannot tell me face to face that the Arizona Coyotes were NOT mismanaged, not only by the owner, but also by the NHL. The Coyotes were f**ked over by both. Its sad. Like the Coyotes were better then multiple teams, and you could even go far enough to say they were better then some, NBA, NFL, and MLB teams. But the Coyotes still couldn't continue to be a franchise? The NHL is to blame and maybe even some other management for the Coyotes. I love you Arizona Coyotes. Hope to see you again.
I saw them back in 2014 against the Ducks, it was a packed house and great atmosphere... It's a shame they couldn't make it work, but some places just don't work for hockey no matter how hard they try (SEE ALSO: Atlanta)
Avs fan here says thanks for playing Arizona. It was nice having you. You will go down and be remembered in nhl history. Hope things will be better in Utah Good luck go coyotes and GO AVALANCHE
That doesn't mean he can't feel sympathy for an underdog team that keeps getting a raw deal. Hell, the Oilers themselves were about a day away from moving to Houston themselves back in 1998.
I rarely watch NHL, hell, I am not even from the US but this is really sad to see. I really liked Arizona Coyotes, I loved the colour scheme and the 2003-2021 logo and always thought it looks really fresh compared to all the other teams. But, as a European, I simply don't understand the concept of a club/team moving to other city. In Europe the team is tied to a place, formed by the people many decades ago (sometimes even more than 100 years ago) and this doesn't happen here (except very few exceptions) and the idea of a team simply changing places is foreign to me, maybe I just don't understand it. Either way, this must be really heartbreaking for the people of Phoenix and other Coyotes supporters.
We had that in Germany. The Munich Barons moved to Hamburg in 2002. Sadly the Freezers died in 2016 because the owner didn‘t wanted anymore. But the Freezers were the reason I came to Hockey. You learn to live with it but when you think about it, it’s still hard, even after eight years.
im not to mad abt this. my dad grew up in arizona and he liked the coyotes. but when he heard they were moving he didnt seem to care. i live in california, im a big sharks fan even though baseball is my sport
I think it's a shame they turned Arizona into the "Utah hockey club". If only they still had the team together like that, would of continued to be a great franchise in the near future. As a Flyers fan, I feel bad. The Utah Hockey Club sounds ridiculous, to be honest
this is sad but i don't understand why teams copied the whiteout because it was a winnipeg thing and it still is a winnipeg thing becuse they did it even before the coyotes but its sad to see them go
Just goes to show, it doesn't matter how big a city is. If there isn't enough interest in hockey, it is not going to succeed. How long until Utah or Seattle fold?
Seattle won’t fold, there has been a lot of interest in the Kraken ever since they have been around. In 2018 it took 1 hour to get 25000 people to buy season tickets, and it wasn’t guaranteed we would have a team. People wanted to watch hockey in Seattle.
@@TheAura448 Well, they folded exactly 100 years ago when they were the Metropolitans. In fact, there's been a lawsuit against them for using the "S" from the old uniform. There's already been 4 failed attempts to put hockey in Seattle. But hey, maybe you're right. Maybe it will work this time around. If they're interested in it, I hope they can keep it.
@@MikePurdue-ky9pm 100 Years ago, a full entire century ago was when they folded, a lot of things have changed in a century, not only for hockey but for many things in general about Seattle sports. And I personally don’t even worry about the lawsuit, because it was in regards to the winter classic jersey. And there is enough of a difference in that jersey, that it shouldn’t even be anything that should be brought into conversation about anything bad to be said about the Kraken. Even today the Kraken have still been going strong when it comes to stuff like fan interest, attendance, merchandise, etc. I personally just don’t think ownership would want to move away, especially after they were the ones that wanted to move back here.
Exactly its hilarious becuse they had 20 years to sellout the arena but no do it when we leave and let's cry about it to screw off arizona don't let the door hit you on the way out
I love how arizona pepole are mad when they loose thier team but still couldent show up in the what 15 years they had to watch this team and you can't even sellout a colige arena then In the final game arizona pepole actually acted like they lost evreything screw off I get its sad but if the fans actully showed up before this then they wouldent have to move you deserve no sympathy from me
Great as soon Nevada gets an expansion team Nevada’s chief rival state loses the Hockey team and now they probably now going allow Mormons to play for The Coyotes
@@willch.2259they crying cause they lost their teams but no one was going to watch the games lol there was more fans from the away team than home team in the stands...its about time they move somewhere fans will go watch them and cheers for their team
@@willch.2259 I'm just talking about common business sense. There was never an NHL rink in construction. I'm just asking about why Gary Bettman approved it in the first place. Could have chosen Houston, Atlanta, Quebec, etc.

Ik they had 26 years to much to watch in my opinion they outstanding your welcome and played in a colige arena wich they dident even sellout on a nightly basis then they only show up in there final game yea screw off arizona
As a Chicago Blackhawks fan, I’ve never felt what it’s like having a team leave the city, but I do know it is probably hard and I hope the Utah hockey club comes back to Arizona for these guys or a new team. They deserve a team fans like this, let’s go coyotes and hawks. 🫡
I'm a Blackhawks fan living in Minnesota, the last North Stars home game was against Chicago I saw them leave and it was another 7 years until the return of another team
Im sorry but i dont feel bad for arizona fans. Hockey was never gonna work in the valley and it was clear in the turnout and indifference from the majority of people in arizona.
Dam, such a surreal moment that 2 minutes felt like 14 minutes and 15 seconds.
I really think that we don’t lose Arizona
It’s the last 2 minutes of the game and there’s stuff that happened after the game that this person showed
Underrated comment 😂
These gold standard comments are a prime example of why the internet always wins.

Thrashers fan as well. This shit sucks
Such a mega team that was with Kovy and Heatly
The thing is, there is hockey in Nevada, also a desert
6 months later and half way into the third week of the season. It doesn't feel the same without the Coyotes. We need them back in Arizona.
As a stars fan. Will miss you guys. Hope the game keeps growing there. Hats off to you. Loved y’all.
Omg I’m a stars fan too
I’ve been to like 15 games

The ultimate irony of the Jets 1.0 leaving again is not lost me. I remember when they left here the first time.

I am😢
sooo what cry more

As a leaf fan the Arizona Coyotes were always a victorious team but it’s just even sadder to see them disappear.
I still remember the California Golden Seals breaking my heart like this. I feel for these folks.
My girlfriend is a Vegas fan and I'm a Boston fan, and when we realized this was going to be the last game of the Arizona Coyotes, we watched it on a call together and nearly cried at the end.
I'm a Kraken fan, but I wont lie tears came out my eyes
As a hockey player myself and a huge hockey fan this is a sad moment
Thanks for sharing 😢
Hockey will be back in Arizona someday guys. I know it will
I hope you’re right! ❤️
It could be longer than 7 years, that's how long Minnesota got a team back after losing the North Stars to Dallas or 15 years, that's how long it took Winnipeg to get a team back
As a poor hearted Senators fan, this is for you " HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" I feel for you're lost
Too bad they didn’t have a fan base, good management, or a winning season most of the time. I liked their Native American themed jerseys.
It feels like forever ago when they played and it's literally been 4 or 5 months
"Last 2 minutes of the yotes" gives us a 14 minute long video

I have a feeling that coyotes hockey will return, I don’t know how long it will be until then but I do know that when it does it will be amazing
No chance, they had an arena problem since 1996 which went on until 2024 have to get a new arena and it sounds like one isn't coming anytime soon
I live in Arizona, and I love hockey. I'm sad that they went to Utah. Long live the Coyotes!
underrated team
This was like the last ( home) game for the Minnesota North Stars at Met Center in April 1993
So sad this is happening.
