[quote name='dafoomie']They trap, and trap, and trap, and trap some more, its their identity. They'll win more games that way but its not entertaining hockey to watch. Not that anyone saw Saturday's game in Phoenix since it wasn't televised there.
On Saturday they drew 9,162. On Thursday they drew 6,899. That type of hockey is not going to get people interested in the sport. I don't think they're leaving Phoenix anytime soon though, unless they can find a way to break the lease without paying the city $750 million.[/QUOTE]
Ah, yeah you're right... a casual viewer tuning into a Coyotes game isn't going to find it very exciting. I've come accustomed to it and don't find it boring at all, as long as it means winning games, which so far has been effective against much better offensive teams.
Attendance is very inconsistent like that, depending on who the Coyotes are playing at the time. It's going to be packed Thursday because they are playing Detroit, lots of Wings fans here. As well as against the Kings. I'd rather it be packed with Coyotes fans, but hey I guess more asses in seats is better than none at all.
Man I hope not, I like this team and I feel they can still establish a fan base with more success. I do understand where the other side is coming from though, Canadian hockey fans do deserve another team.
