If people hated LA, Dallas, Florida, Tampa Bay, Nashville and Carolina just as much as they have a hate on for the Coyotes... I guess I could understand but this seems to be a very singular anger. That just baffles me.

There are a lot of people who do hate all teams in the south.
But in a lot of ways, the Coyotes play to the Canadian inferiority complex. Those rotten #######s "stole" "our" team! And since the Coyotes have been linked to relocating to Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, K-W and Quebec City, there is a lot of misplaced anger generated by people who think those cities deserves a team more.
Logically, I have a hard time believing the Coyotes will ever make money in the desert. But if someone wants to try, more power to them. The NHL has been floating expansion balloons since Bill Daly dropped a hint in that regard in 2009ish. The 32 team NHL is coming, and you can expect that at least one of those new teams will be in Canada.
