Not sure how being a Flames and Jets fan doesn't work but a Coyotes Flames fan does...... It's not like they're the Canucks.

Doubt it'll be that easy of a process. Pretty sure this will take quite awhile to finalize (if it ever does).

I don't think purchases that large are generally made by cheque, either.

If they move into the Flames division by law you cannot cheer for both the Flames and Jets. Good thing the NHL gave everyone a year to decide which wagon is better.

He's not a Coyotes/Flames fan, he's a former Flames fan who switched teams.

Earlier this spring he was openly cheering for the Flames to lose, and even made those stupid troll face posts when the Flames were being eliminated from the playoffs.

It may help you to know my history..

I became a Coyotes fan before a Flames fan even though I grew up in Calgary. I jumped on board with The Flames for the Flames Forever campaign in 2000.

I've watched every single Coyotes game since Shaw cable offered Center Ice. How am I a bandwagoner?

Let me guess, you became a Flames fan in 04?

I'm not a Flames fan.. I just like this board and the thoughts presented here. In fact if the Coyotes move I will be a Sharks fan due to location as I may relocate to Northern California in the not so distant future. Tried to be a dual fan and it just doesn't work at all

Fans of visiting teams don't watch local Coyote broadcasts, buy Coyote merchandise etc. "13,000" fans in the arena misrepresents how large the Coyote audience truly is. Sure, it is good to have people in the building, but a marketing plan that is focused on the fans of visiting teams is not long for this world.

Why would anyone choose to be a Coyotes fan??

After all these years, you figure Jordon would mature a bit, but he continually gets his foot stuck in his mouth.

The sooner this team gets out of the desert the better.

When will Bettman learn?
