The Utah alien concept doesn't seem very popular, but I personally like the idea.

I ran an AI image creator for a Utah Greys themed jersey. Not quite how I would design it, but I like the concept.

Spoiler!

The 20K deposits would be including half-season packages.

Seeing Gary's body language at the Coyotes press conference to his body language and demeanor at the Utah press conference is hilarious.

I appear to be out of thanks, so I will just reply thanks instead.

Everytime I've used that wifi, I really appreciate the pettiness of it.

New Calgary Arena should definitely try something like "Game6WasAFix"

That's a good point, and while it applies to a specific game, it's broad enough to cover other things like Coleman's 'kicked' goal.

Utah has hired the highly-regarded NYC/LA based Doubleday and Cartwright agency to handle their branding. The firm was responsible for the MLS's Inter Miami logo and kit, as well as a part of the NBA's "City" alt-jersey campaign.

Wasn't there a 'Fury' in the old failed Women's League?

Oh yeah.. we were all Gary this day

A few days after, I feel oddly stress free. Being a fan of the Coyotes the past 15+ years was a ton of stress.

More people in attendance to see the Coyotes at "home" than they have had in years.

Happy for the guys. But it feels like they've all been traded for Future considerations lol

But man, that arena will suck for Hockey.. I don't know how they're going to renovate that to be hockey friendly. It's TWICE as bad as the old America West Arena in regard to obstructed views

ESPN has an article about how the whole move to Salt Lake came to be behind the scenes

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/...e-arizona-utah

Some interesting quotes:

Quote:
The team's creative accounting was a constant source of concern around the league. There were incidents over the years of the Coyotes skimping on money. The Coyotes would try to stay at lesser hotels than the collective bargaining agreement stipulates. Ownership tried cutting corners when they could, like removing the printer and copying machine from the coaches' room.

Multiple sources told ESPN that the Coyotes were either late paying their hotel bills or sometimes just crossed out the total and paid a different amount. Other sources indicated local businesses would come to the team seeking payments, would be offered a fraction of what was owed and then would be negotiated down to take less than what was actually owed.
Quote:
On March 6, Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly spoke with Meruelo and asked him, point-blank, about the future of the Coyotes. Meruelo thought they were asking if he wanted to sell the team and indicated that he wasn't interested.

"Can you look your players in the eyes and tell them when there's going to be an arena built?" they asked.

"No," said Meruelo, "I can't."

"It's not fair to the players, to their families and to hockey operations to not know how long it will take to build this arena," was the response.
Quote:
But the land auction itself might now become a problem. One source familiar with the process heard from some potential bidders that "didn't want to be the ones that chased the Coyotes" out of the market.

"Now that the Coyotes have effectively chased themselves out of Arizona, that's a prime piece of property. So I think there will be other bidders," the source said.

Great write up on the process, it's a miracle that the Coyotes had a single fan throughout with these scumbag owners that have made their way through AZ
