Any Arizona Coyotes fans?
I was just wondering if there are any Arizona Coyotes fans about these parts? - or any fans willing to learn a little about my favourite team!
I promise there are plenty of shippiness and general fluffy feelings to be had (and plenty of pretty!) And it's a team that has a 60/40 female fanbase in arena, and a team that is hopefully trending upwards in terms of the on-ice product, and is generally a team I can feel happy supporting and watching
(also: I hope posting here is okay!)




Obvi I am. ;D
You're a menace ;)
ERRYBODY GONNA LOVE THE YOTES OKAY
We'll get there, one forum at a time ;)
I'm not a fan but I have nothing against them (except when they are playing my team) and I've been listening to the AZ Den Talk podcast this summer so I've actually learned a lot about them recently! I also support small/nontraditional markets so am predisposed to have a bit of a soft spot.
Oh brilliant! The AZ Den Talk girls are actually very close friends of mine - they were some of the people who got me into the Coyotes in the first place! I'm excited to see how the new season goes - they should be better, and will their prospect pool ...
:D SOMEONE WHO LISTENS TO THE PODCAST \o/ (I'm Sarah from Den Talk!)
I really like them actually, but I don't know a whole lot about them if it makes sense? I just have a lot of general fondness and I'm always excited when they have early games that I can watch (from Europe). And I had a phase when I watched everything I could find about them, haha.
Sooo, if you have any fun clips, I'm definitely here for them!
You have come to the right place! (and I feel your pain - I live in the UK, and that eight hour time difference is a killer). I'm not sure if you know, but the AZ Den Talk podcast is run by two of my favourite people in the world, and they currently have a summer series of Women Who Love Hockey and they're definitely worth a listen for general hockey news and for the Coyotes specifically!!
Fun clips:
... So. I hope there's something there you enjoy? In general Coyotes games against the Oilers are great fun, mostly because we beat them. Every time. There are a few full games on YouTube, too!
Thanks for all the links! I'll be sure to check them out. :)
I'm still sad about Mikkel leaving, truly heartbreaking!!
but Shane Doan got a hattrick, so the next home game Shane got his hats at warm-ups
Aww, that's so nice!
I hope you like them! I got a little, uh, carried away.
Me too! The writing was kind of on the wall when he took a bridge deal, but even so ): Especially after his spleen rupture, I was very attached to him (and now he plays for a team I hate ...)
Also! One of the girls from the AZ Den Talk podcast has an Imzy community if you want to talk to someone who actually writes for the team and lives in Arizona/is a STH !
Haha, I'm always happy about video links, don't worry! :)
I was kind of hoping against hope that Mikkel would come back this summer, but alas...
Me too! Especially since the Coyotes do have a history of welcoming back old players, what with Michalek and Vermette and now Vrbata (... again). I suppose there is still hope? But /o\
THAT! Everyone always wants to come back to AZ when they get a chance, it's such a wonderful indication of the mood and quality of the Org and locker room. I know it's just indirect confirmation the Yotes are Good Dudes, but man it makes me happy.
I mean, Vermette voluntarily spends his summers in Arizona, which ... shudder I does genuinely seem to be a very good organisation with some generally Good Dudes, especially if you believe the scuttlebutt from people who live in the area. But yeah - it does make me happy to hear/think about. And guys who have left always speak highly of the organisation and the team and of Shane, which is nice.
My man, my dude, my buddy, I decided to follow the Yotes last summer after I bailed on the 'Hawks, and I'm 300% for the Team in the Valley and the Duke 'n' Domi show in particular. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT until the new skating coach Braid fixes Stromer's feet and they have him center those two. The possibilities are DELICIOUS.
I listen to AZDENTALK and follow Sarah and Liz on twitter and stuff, they're such a great in to Yotes fandom.
Oh brilliant! I was into the Coyotes for a while before that, but when I also bailed on the Hawks last summer they became the only team of my heart (that's a gross lie, but they are the main team of my heart)
The Duke and the Domi show promises to be spectacular for sure! And with the addition of Strome ... although our rookie crop in general is so, so exciting, looking towards the future.
Yay! They're good people and good friends of mine and I love them a lot - and yes, it was partly me who got me into the Yotes during 2014/15 (poor Mikkel ): )
Oh damn, they got you in during the Tank Year. Proof the team is interesting even when... things aren't going well.
"Things aren't going well" is possibly the politest way I've ever heard someone refer to that year /o\
They were just such a interesting team, with such interesting dynamics and potential, and the community I had accidentally stumbled into the middle of were so welcoming and engaging I couldn't help falling in love
Just wanted to drop in and say that as mod I am DELIGHTED to have people besides me posting to the comm. <3
Oh brilliant! Thank you for the confirmation :) I had some pretty of-putting experiences with a few ... overzealous LJ mods as as wee thing and was a little unsure of the etiquette
My attitude is definitely The More, the Merrier. :)
