Coyotes Airport Arrival tonight - UPDATED

[TickleMeYandle]

And of course when someone tweeted about the airport, some Nordiques troll had to post video of 75K Nordiques nation fans showing up at a march.

Yeah...a planned event in the middle of the day vs. a midnight spur of the moment meeting on the Easter holiday? Sure, those are so totally comparable.

So yeah, it would just end up a hate-fest on the other boards.

I would have loved to be there but I worked late and didn't get home until 11:30, the airport is at least 50 minutes away - so I probably would have missed everything.

So tired today. Don't care. So worth it.

I was there last night, best part was Yandle jumping around pumping the crowd up. Great moment for this franchise...you can tell this team is ready for the playoffs

Who was riding shotgun, and was stretching out giving hi-5s to everyone? I was on the other side.

naw i was in the first row. yands had like half his body out giving high fives. I saw schlemko recording and he had his hand out but yandle was the crazier of the two.

Yandle is like a little kid, it's awesome.

aint that the truth! I've been rather disappointed with his play thus far, but I have a good feeling he'll be a big factor in the playoffs

Yandle was pumping up the crowd, giving hi-5s, and being crazy. When Doan got his hatty, Yandle celebrated the hardest out of anyone. After every win, Yandle is the one with all the personalized handshakes with everyone. Yandle does alot of interviews for the Coyotes website, and wants to be a Coyotes.

Vest interviewed Doan today, asks about the airport scene around the 2:50 mark:

Wish I was there. That was impressive, don't know too many cities would do that for a division winner.

**** me! Seriously, just **** me! I had no idea this was even going on, I don't live that far from the airport and worst of all I'm a total night owl so it would've been about the easiest thing in the world for me to do. ****, ****, ****, **** I can't believe I missed out.

It all unfolded on Twitter. There's a sizable Coyotes fan following on Twitter.

I had some challenges this weekend that had my mind pretty occupied, that's why I missed out, not because it was on twitter. It still made me smile to watch that video and I loved seeing the players so excited themselves. I just wish I could've participated but my mind was elsewhere. Anyway, not trying to go to negative town, this was awesome, thanks for filming it and I'm totally psyched for the playoffs!

 

[Blubba Jenkins]

Yeah, thanks Dolemite. Also, I appreciate the 1080p!

In the interview Doan said there were about a thousand people. Is that accurate?

i was there and would probably put it more at 400 max and that might be pushing it. still pretty damn good for a spontaneous thing at midnight on easter.

Bump to this thread while we're wallowing away as a reminder to what this team can do and how fun it can be.

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

I remember going to this with my dad. Great night.

I also remember sneaking out of High School with a friend to go to the airport to welcome the team back from Chicago after game 6.

Awesome memories.
