Really makes me sick to be honest. I was able to watch the city council vote and what I saw was only 10 loyal Coyote fans listing off a bunch of bs how they have a passionate fanbase. They pointed out how the building was filled this year during the postseason as "proof" how loyal they are. We all know that is clearly a case of bandwagoning which happens in every other non hockey market when the manage to make the playoffs.
What really got me tonight was how they used the 3 home playoff games this year as an example of their "passion" level for hockey, and completely looked past the 14 years this team has bled money and the pitiful attendance figures of the past 5 or 6 years. Real hockey markets don't abandon ship when a team struggles, they stick with them.
At any rate, poor Winnipeg got strung along for nothing now it seems. I only hope that the Coyotes start losing again and when the arena stays empty, it will blow back up in Bettman's face.
Rant over.
