Well that was a good way to say farewell to the Arizona Coyotes by winning the game. They won 5-2 same score they won by in there first ever game in Arizona in 1996.
From a Minnesota fan, this all reminds me of April 13, 1993. The last home game the Minnesota North Stars played in Minnesota before packing it in to Dallas. Yeah, different circumstances why they moved vs. what the Yotes have gone through. But the loss of a beloved team really hurts the fans. The owners sure don't hurt. Hoping Arizona fans get another chance with the NHL just like Minnesota did.
From the perspective of a Dallas Stars fan, it is awful but then a whole new city gets to experience the joys of having a hockey team. Not saying that makes shitty owners justified in moving teams but at least it’s a silver lining
I feel for the Arizona fans. We'll take good care of this team here in Utah. Here's hoping everything gets sorted with a new stadium and the Yotes can start again in AZ.
@@tudormiller887 Multiple reports have said that all Arizona Coyote logos and rights will stay with the AZ ownership group. Utah will be creating a brand new team name/identity.
I’m no Coyotes fan but it’s rough to see them leave to another state, but in all, congrats to the Coyotes for winning not just a game vs the Oilers, but also winning the series against them.
I’m an avs fan but you just gotta love this team. Always the laughing stock of the NHL but there is some serious talent in this group and I hope their transition to utah is as painless as it can be…. Such a shame. RIP yotes
One day i could say that "i saw the last ever game of the coyotes". This franchise was a part of my childhood, its like getting his heart ripped off from us hockey fans born in the late 90's or 2000's. #yotes From a Canadiens&Kraken fan 🥲😭❤
In the case of Meruelo not showing up in the Coyotes last game. You COULD argue that he didn’t want to repeat Clarence Campbell’s mistake after he suspended Maurice “The Rocket” Richard for the remaining season and playoffs after he struck a linesmen, in which Campbell showed up to a game between the Habs and Redwings at the Forum. And the fans let him have it, I mean we’re talking wanting his head man. Booing him down like there was no tomorrow, shouting insults and name calling him everything they can think of, throwing tomatoes at him, one guy even walked up to him and just straight up slapped him. Heck someone even detonated a tear gas bomb. Campbell did ended up getting himself and his fiancee (who was also his secretary) out in one piece. But the riot ended up going out to the streets and the Habs had to forfeit the game and hand the win to Detroit. But hey I’m just spinning the ball here making wild guesses.
Winnipeger. This brings back many memories and emotions. I know the feeling. Keep a good fan base and hope for the future. Good game yotes and good luck.
Not even a Yotes fan, but bought a hat today cause I said if my team (Capitals) ever folded, the Coyotes would be my next team. Hell of a run. Hell of a fanbase. Desert dogs will howl again.
Even though I'm an oilers fan and sucked to see them lose, I'm glad the Coyotes won their last game in their home rink. It's unfortunate that the team has to move and the fans lose their team. It definitely would be a bittersweet game, and you see people getting teary in the end send off after the game. The Coyotes may not been the greatest in the NHL but they where and are a team nonetheless, good luck in the move and good luck next season in your new home.
When the oilers tied it I knew the coyotes would cover 1.5 easily Easiest bet they weren’t gonna lose in their last home game in Arizona nope. 🙏 thank you Arizona hockey
Habs fan all the way, but I have always been fond of the Coyotes. I was going to buy my Favorite coyotes jersey out of respect, but wont ship to Canada. So I may have to settle for a Fanatics jersey in the style of their last home game. Sad to see this team go, known them my whole life.
You will be missed in AZ Yotes! You will forever be in all of the Arizonians' hearts. Made something that people have said that hockey doesn't belong on the desert, but you proved everyone wrong. Hockey belongs in the desert, and nothing will change my mind! Yotes forever!
@@sk00ma_salt like city is in Utah bro. And the coyotes are technically in phoenix, which is a city in Arizona. The coyotes decided to use the city name, then they transitioned into the state. Salt Lake City is using the city name, but they still are in Utah.
Use ur brain maybe idk. Maybe a little bit of common sense while ur at it? Its the coyotes LAST game as the "Arizona Coyotes". This game changes NOTHING for either team in terms of standings. You don't think it's possible the Oilers didn't play their hardest? The 2nd best team in their conference vs the 2nd worst team in another conference hmmmm yeah idk, something tells me they didnt play very hard out of respect. Blows my mind that someone can be as stupid as you are
The team themeselves are going to Salt Lake City. While there is a possibility that Arizona can get a team again as an expansion, that can only happen IF Alex Meruelo can get an arena built for the team in 5 years. But I wouldn’t count on it knowing how much of a shyster he is. And even if he can get it done, the confidence people have of him being the owner of the expansion team after what happened with the Coyotes is at an all time low.
I dont follow hockey much since my team (the Flyers) suck but this is really sad to see a team leave a place they have stayed for so many years imagine what its gonna feel like when the As play their final game in Oakland
With this, a bittersweet chapter in Arizona comes to a close. Onward to Salt lake City! At least you guys got some closure unlike The Raiders(NFL)last game in Oakland.
Almost lasted 30 whole years. No one is talking about how that is over double the time JETS 1.0 lasted due to yes financial reasons. As a leafs fan who moved to Winnipeg (for work I hate it here lol) People here still moan about the jets packing it in 96’ and not having a team for nearly two full decades. The kachina is def top 3 logo’s in the league when we’re talking originality. The desert will see hockey again in our life times. It just won’t have Auston Matthews’s on the team like everyone has been saying/hoping ;)
*sighs, I'm not a Coyotes fan, Imma Pens fan, but I will miss them, its a team I grew up with my whole life, my whole life I've known this team as the Arizona Coyotes, its gonna be odd calling them the Salt Lake Coyotes, or the Utah Coyotes, goodbye Coyotes....... 🐺👋🙁
Crazy that there would be no Auston Matthews in the NHL if the Coyotes were never a thing. Hopefully the effect on youth hockey in Arizona isn’t devastating and ASU can pick up some slack.
If it does take a hit, it’ll be a necessary sacrifice to persevere the dignity and integrity of the sport of hockey (or what’s left of it anyway). The Coyotes shouldn’t have stayed in Arizona for this long. No sacrifice, no victory.
@@RobertSmithhalo lol what are you some Canadian purist or something? Still salty about the nordiques? You’re gonna be real mad when a Russian is the all time leading goal scorer aren’t you lol
@@dzav2282 Cute. If only all of that was true. No I’m not from Canada. Frankly I don’t care about the Nordiques, the people that want them back only do so because of nostalgia rather they deny it or not. And so what if a Russian breaks the great ones record? That Russian just so happens to be one of the greatest players in Hockey. This situation in Arizona was a long time coming, and it should’ve happened a lot sooner. If Hockey belongs in the Desert, Vegas if anything is leading the charge to prove that, not Arizona. The fact that Bettman put so much energy into keeping them in AZ this long is insane. Where was that same energy for teams like the Thrashers? The coyotes was an outright embarrassment for the National Hockey League and all of Hockey and the last 3 years of its existence proves it rather you like it or not.
Your comment just contradicts itself. "I know they weren't trying but they better play better in the playoffs" Then why are you concerned? You do realize they let the Coyotes win out of respect right? Felt that was very obvious
It's not that unusual. Last game of the regular season between a playoff team and a lottery team. Oilers are probably not giving it 100% and saving something for the playoffs
Use ur brain maybe idk. Maybe a little bit of common sense while ur at it? Its the coyotes LAST game as the "Arizona Coyotes". This game changes NOTHING for either team in terms of standings.

Man rooting for the oilers but why are they throwing all their money in the offense and conpletely neglecting defense. I dont get it. They might make it a few rounds in the playoffs again but no cup contenders
I really do love watching ice hockey and especially the NHL. But the one thing I will never understand in US sports, is the franchise system. Like, people grew up loving this team, going to the stadium etc. Probably passing stories and passion on to the next generation and so on. How can it be normal that a team just moves to a different city? If I had a hockey team move to my German town only because of money, I could not give less fucks about this team. It is really sad to be honest. I feel for all Coyotes Fans. Personally, I could not deal with that 😂
You can't compare corporate north american pro sports leagues to the rest of the world, especially 50+1 germany. I get the culture shock but it's literally always been like this for us.
@@postgotham I understand that. I am not comparing it, really. Just describing how I simply cannot fathom how anyone besides the owners can find this good. It having been like that since forever is honestly also a horrible reason to accept it 😂
@@reversegoatee5997 yes, it's cause of money. The team has been operating at a loss for nearly 2 decades & got kicked out of their home for not paying fees & taxes. Then they lost a public vote to build another money-hole arena. To ultimately be relegated to a school's rink while in a pro league and STILL not be able to sell out would drive any league body to convince the owner to sell / move. It's been a hot topic here for decades.
I kinda feel it was intentional given the coyotes situation and it being their home game, but yeah sucks to see, but in a way I'm glad coyotes were able to give the fans a good time for a final game
Not embarrassing at all. The Oilers have their focus on the playoffs. No player wants to get injured or suspended in the final 2 games, 2 games that mean absolutely nothing to the Oilers. As for the Coyotes this game meant everything.
Ride off into the sunset desert dogs. We'll all miss you.
As a Canucks fan I seriously can't strongly dislike the Yotes. Something about this team...
@@kenzandana4791like an easy two points😂
No we wont lmao

I won’t.

Don't know who the play by play is but hats off to him! The hardest part sometimes is knowing when to shut up
hope he stays involved with the team his voice is great

Lol! It's still going to be the same team, so you can just keep laughing i guess. It's the fans that lose
They were chanting "salt lake sucks" during the game....ironic in many ways 😅
I’ll miss you Arizona Coyotes!
❤ this is heart breaking to see them move thank you for the happiest years of my life coyotes and I'll cheer for you wherever you end up going
Holy last ever coyotes game ever we will miss you
One day i could say that "i saw the last ever game of the coyotes".
This franchise was a part of my childhood, its like getting his heart ripped off from us hockey fans born in the late 90's or 2000's.

From a Canadiens&Kraken fan
🥲😭❤
So sad to see the Yotes go!
Owner doesn't even bother to show up, what a coward.
In the case of Meruelo not showing up in the Coyotes last game.
You COULD argue that he didn’t want to repeat Clarence Campbell’s mistake after he suspended Maurice “The Rocket” Richard for the remaining season and playoffs after he struck a linesmen, in which Campbell showed up to a game between the Habs and Redwings at the Forum.
And the fans let him have it, I mean we’re talking wanting his head man. Booing him down like there was no tomorrow, shouting insults and name calling him everything they can think of, throwing tomatoes at him, one guy even walked up to him and just straight up slapped him. Heck someone even detonated a tear gas bomb.
Campbell did ended up getting himself and his fiancee (who was also his secretary) out in one piece. But the riot ended up going out to the streets and the Habs had to forfeit the game and hand the win to Detroit.
But hey I’m just spinning the ball here making wild guesses.
Thank you for including some of the footage of the end of the game and the staff on the ice.
Winnipeger. This brings back many memories and emotions. I know the feeling. Keep a good fan base and hope for the future.
Good game yotes and good luck.
I've never heard the mullet that loud
We live you yotes. Howl on to Utah we will miss you.
So sad to see the Yotes leave Arizona 💔
GOODBYE DESERT DOGS! WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU 😭🙏🕊️
Great for this team, staff and fans. Heart breaking to take this awawy from them

What an ending to an era. Good luck in SLC.
Let’s go Yotes
When the oilers tied it I knew the coyotes would cover 1.5 easily
Easiest bet they weren’t gonna lose in their last home game in Arizona nope.
🙏 thank you Arizona hockey
Damn dude, suddenly the coyotes are skyrocketing.
Thank you Arizona, for the Goal.
Send them to Quebec City instead. Sad to see them go
Bettman falls unconscious whenever he hears the word "Canada" so the Nordiques aint coming back for a long time
Good showing for their final game. Good luck in Utah boys.
What's everyone's favorite Coyote's Moment? Brian Boucher Shutout streak has to be mine
The OT games against the Blackhawks in the 2012 playoffs!
Good send off for the Coyotes.

Why did they leave Arizona?
Poor management and not enough fans going to games
it became tp thde point they had to play in a college arena
Can't help but to feel sad. Not even a Coyotes fan.
Goodbye, Arizona. Although they were never a not that great, we will still miss the yotes. Goodbye.
I only have one thing to say
Da da da da da
