The Arizona Coyotes left Shane Doan’s retirement banner in a dumpster in Gila River Arena

[Billy Kvcmu]

If I'm the Utah owner I hang it in my rafters and welcome Doan to the family and history of my team. Good way to win some good will.

He won’t be allowed to do that
Gary allow Merualo to retained the concept and brand of the Coyotes

What's worse...dumpster/storage

Those.. aren’t the same thing at all

 

[ViD]

Coyotes fans deserve a real team and a real owner. Hopefully that happens in expansion and the clearly-toxic Meruelo group stays FAR away.

What makes you think Arizona deserves another franchise ? It’s not even remotely close to being a hockey popular area and their attendance was always the lowest even before moving to the Mullett arena.

It’s Houston’s time to try a new team down south

If so, Doan may as well hang it in his garage because I'll be real shocked if that louse can get a building built in 5 years.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

We’re Doan here

I will show myself out

 

[Tofveve]

Holdup how did the gent who retrieved it not get burned?

 

[DoktorJeep]

What does Murelo care. He sunk a foundering franchise after buying it from the league for $425M. Only to clear close to half a billion in profit.

Shane on you for such a horrible pun.

 

[Skidooboy]

We willing to expand Sports to includes Sports Entertainment?

Cuz this guy would be near the tops if we did lol

Residents where the new arena was supposed to be built, such a Mike Wilbon (PTI) said on his show yesterday that they didn’t want the traffic 10 minutes from their house and all the bar / restaurant traffic. I couldn’t believe it when he said it, but it makes perfect sense why Arizona is one of the most failed professional sports organizations to ever exist. I feel sorry for the diehard fans, they deserve more.

Was it a premonition, now that the Coyotes have been thrown in the dumpster?

Because people are opposed to their neighborhood becoming saturated with traffic, noisey drunk fans and don't want their drive to/from their home to become more difficult? Well, as someone who lives 20 minutes from a major sports stadium and sometimes has to plan my drives around their events, neither would I to be honest. It can be a royal PITA.

Shane on you for such a horrible pun.

I'm sure he's Josh kidding around

What a Shane

 

[OTownCat]

Agreed…they are not, but both were used as to what happened with Doans banner in which I was referring too.

 

[JoeGarelli]

losers dont work in phoenix.. yotes had only a couple good runs, and the playoff atmosphere was one of the best in the league..

it is a hockey market, just not a loser nhl market,but phx hosts the biggest youth hockey tournament in north america.. i think theres something like 15-20 sheets of ice that are filled from 6a-12a.. there is a large youth hockey presence in the valley, and there is a big adult hockey presence..

i guess i dont know what a hockey market is? is south florida a hockey market? or just only now because they have a great owner and great team..i thought i read they have a waiting list for season tickets now.. for the longest time the panthers were giving tickets away just like the yotes did..

 

[SomeDude]

Imagine what his son thinking.

“If I play well enough maybe some day I can have my jersey retirement banner thrown in a dumpster too”

 

[PlayersLtd]

More attention deserved for how classy a move it was by the guy to give it to Doan and say "In '07 you signed this jersey and made me feel like the most important person in the world, giving this to you is nothing"

Stand up play by that guy and knowing the person Shane Doan is this isn't the end of the exchange.

 

[MikeyMike01]

To what purpose? So the fans could boo him? To say "thank you Arizona fans?" I don't understand why he had to show up really.

Exactly. To take the booing like a man, instead of hiding.

 

[Jauffre]

Couldn't make this shit up, jesus f***

 

[KCC]

Now he finally got it back

I’m sorry WHAT? THEY JUST LEFT IT THERE AFTER GETTING BOOTED OUT???



Unconfirmed rumour is that the banner was found in a dumpster

Nvm I guess the rumour was true

Trash franchise. Literally.

 

[Kimota]

And to think the Count has promised this owner a new franchise after he sell it to the SLC guy.

What does Murelo care. He sunk a foundering franchise after buying it from the league for $425M. Only to clear close to half a billion in profit.

That's why the NHL is a bush league.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Trash franchise. Literally.

Coyotes were a great franchise, Alex Meruelo along with others were trash.

edit - Sorry to Coyotes fans and hope you get your team back soon enough with a GM who understands how to run a team.

That's the gift. The Ottawa senators according to Eugene lost tons of money. No profit. Yet somehow was sold for a billion dollars. Joseph Spano jr...... look him up if you don't know the story. That's how Bush league the nhl is.
