I am so sick of the ignorant arguments coming from Canadians

I have a new theory as to why the Canadians want our US teams. They are sick of losing year after year to US teams in the Stanley Cup finals and maybe even in general. When was the last time a Canadian team, any one of them, won the cup? Like 1993. Wow, 16 whole years. Ok, minus one for the lockout and I included this year as the winner is going to be another AMERICAN team.

If Balsillie really wants another team, maybe he can go buy one in Russia, then we wont have to deal with him anymore. Oh wait, according to him and all Canadians, Canada is the only place that deserves to have hockey. Nevermind… guess that idea won’t work. I guess the only solution is to relocate each and every American team to Canada.

What most Canadians don’t get (because they have never been here and are making ASSumptions based on biased news stories and the games on tv) is that this can, and will be, a hockey town with the right management/owner. The team is starting to come together. The last two seasons we have been close to the playoffs. We have improved. This is a team close the being winners. This is a team, with the right direction, that will be a winner. This could be why the Canadians want our team; they see the potential and look at it as another way to end their 16 year drought.

Some say we only get 6,000 people at a game. Bull shit. Have you ever been to a game at the arena? I doubt it. The first few rows you see on tv are less full then other areas of the arena. Those are the most expensive and mostly corporate seats. I have watched other games on tv, like the red wings, whose arena looks empty because all you can see is about the first eight rows. But that doesn’t mean there is no one at the game.

They also believe the bias media that claims our booster club has 57 members. I know for a fact that this number is about 300 members off. This also is not a good measure for how many fans there are in Phoenix either. I, for one, am not a member. I chose not to be involved in the Booster Club. I have my reasons why but those are not relevant to this blog. I know others who aren’t members for the same reason. This makes the number of members in the booster club irrelevant. How many people are in the booster club is not indicative of how many fans the Coyotes have.

Most Canadians apparently can’t comprehend what a grassroots campaign is either. Have they never had anything like that in Canada? Have they never had protests and candlelight vigils for wars? Have they never tried to get their voices heard amongst the rest of the world? We are one small part of the United States, a city, versus all of Canada. Of course they will have more people for their campaign. They also have a BILLIONAIRE behind their campaign. We have everyday people fighting for their team. I know some of these people and they aren’t rich in anyway but will support their team anyway they know how. We are not affiliated with anyone but ourselves. We are doing this alone. We don’t have a Balsillie or an entire country to back us. Hell, even some of our own are turning on us. What is up with that Kevin Smith??

And no one is saying Canada doesn’t deserve another team, we are just saying they don’t deserve OURS.

Spread the word, spread the love, spread the hockey.

The last few days have been crazy to say the least...

Ok, I know a few months ago I was very angry at the Coyotes for always trading away half the team, in particular my hipcheck king and fantastic fighter, but that being said the threat of Balsillie, to be known as slime ball #1 from now on (I have to number them... there is a lot), taking away my team has made me realize how much I would miss them. At the tradeline I felt like the line from How to Lose a Guy in 10 days... "I love you but I don't have to like you right now" (or something close to that).

No need to fear fellow Coyote lovers, there is a large campaign brewing. There are petitions to sign, web pages to read and merchandise to buy. I especially like the "Keep it Six" line to combat the "Make it Seven" rally.

The fans efforts are being thwrated by a small minority (seems like one bored canadian found our site and keeps leaving stupid comments). The Canadians want a team and the Phoenicians want to keep it. Who will win this epic battle? Stay tuned. It should get exciting.

I have been amazed at the number of non-coyote fans that have come out in support of the Coyotes staying in Phoenix. That is what we need right now. I also have been amazed at the people in Southern California that are against the Coyotes. C'mon, like southern cali is really that different from Phoenix. People have short memories. They seem to forget that places like Pitsburgh and Chicago had trouble selling tickets before they got a winner on the ice. The Coyotes are getting there, slowly but surely. They had higher ticket sales this year and were on track to make the playoffs, until the Post-ASG, but that's another issue...

...An issue of coaching. Wayne Gretzky has made it known he would not move with them team. I hate saying this but that would be the ONLY good thing about the Coyotes moving... no more crappy coach. But let me say this, I DO NOT IN ANY WAY ADVOCATE THE MOVING OF THE COYOTES. I just want a real coach. Is that too much to ask for??

To me it sounds as if Slime ball #1 contacted Moyes (slime ball #2) and they came up with this "plan" together so slime ball #2 wouldn't lose any more money, even though slime ball #2 knew that the NHL had a group of investers lined up to meet with him. I am glad I never wasted my money on a blackberry and I will never buy one from a company owned by a slime ball.

Ok, I will post links to all the Save the Coyotes sites later. I am on my lunch break and it's about to come to an end. I just wanted to get this out there since my views per day have jumped in the last week.... Feel free to comment or email me (click the "talk to me" in the right hand sidebar) if you have any questions or suggestions on how to help the Coyotes.
