OT: Coyotes adopt team dog, Luna (UPD: Graduation Day!)

[XX]

Yeah, that would be fun until it attacked someone.

There are domesticated Coyotes that can't be returned to the wild that would do alright hanging out at your average Howler promo.

If the Coyotes don't already sponsor a Coyote habitat at the Phoenix Zoo, they should.

Is that “big news” though?

not if you’re a cat person

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Looks like Howler got laid.

I read this and thought " he does kind of have the same look on his face as Jeff Bridges in the dream scene from the Big Lebowski"

Let's see. Howler is flying. Airplanes fly. Jets are a type of airplane. Jets are a mascot of an NHL team.

WE'RE GOING BACK TO WINNIPEG!

Really though, let's remember how well Scrappy Doo worked out.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

All dogs drink free. Unlimited draft beer and well cocktails. What could go wrong?

Might be some puppy making breaking out in the crowd.

Coyotes are replacing John Maclean with Dean Stork.

Coyotes are replacing John MacLean with an actual coyote.

Would still run a better powerplay

Does he know Spanish??

I would have thought they were announcing a return to the Kachina’s full time but the packing “growing” wouldn’t indicate that.

I don’t believe it’s a hockey personnel move. They wouldn’t use the mascot like that, I don’t think, for a player related move.

I’d have thought maybe another role being added to the entertainment side. Like cheerleaders. But we already have those. Maybe a full-time, in-house band? Maybe another media personality?

Ohhhhhh I bet it’s a Spanish Langauge Braodcast crew!!!!

Coyotes private jet?

I just have a feeling this will underwhelm

Well, yeah. They wouldn’t have the howler mascot flying through the air like a stork if it was an arena announcement or something. The silliness of the vehicle should forecast the silliness of the delivery.

 

[moosemeister]

I’m guessing team puppy

 

[RemoAZ]

Maybe they tamed a wild Coyote

Could you imagine them brining a real coyote on the ice and him getting loose like that video with the condor or whatever it was? Guys jumping over the boards to get away from it. That would be pure comedy gold.

Chayka and his wife are having a baby (my guess).

A baby girl, and they are going to call her Wendy Wylie Chayka.

But why the tease? Just announce that like everyone else does. It doesnt make much sense to me

 

[Bonsai Tree]

It might be a Kachina Jersey announcement.

It might be a Kachina Jersey announcement.

How could that be described as “our pack is growing” with the mascot imitating a stork? As much as I’d like it to be a Spanish language broadcast team, a switch to Kachinas full-time, or a brand new arena, it just doesn’t make sense to announce it this way. They wouldn’t announce the return of Shane Doan this way either.

The only way they use Howler as a stork to announce something is if it’s either very silly (like a second mascot, living or stuffed) or something relatively inconsequential to the fan base at large (a birth announcement for a family associated with the team, either on the ice or in the front office).

The birth of the baby Cohen was publicly celebrated by the team. I’m sure they’d do the same for John Chayka or Olivia Campos or any of the other fairly high profile people associated with the team that are in their mid twenties to mid thirties that might be growing their family.

Either they’re getting a 2nd mascot of some kind or the Chaykas, Cohens or Matoses (I think Campos was her maiden name, pretty sure I went to elementary, maybe middle and possible high school with her and her sister) are expecting a new member of the family.

It’s September.

Could it be Doan back in the fold? Or an East Coast team nearby?

I can’t see a mascot flying through the air like a stork with a baby bundle being the vehicle they use to announce Doan coming back. That would be absurd.
