GDT: Game 82: Edmonton Oilers @ Arizona Coyotes | 7:00 p.m. AZST | Scripps

Teppo was the first autograph I got from a Coyote, any player or "celebrity". He was so nice and talked with people. I kept that in my middle school notebook.

AT saying again 14 game L streak was directly related to initial SLC distractions. They go 7-7 during that stretch 91 pts wc4. They go 10-4 97 pts and tied for wc2.

That's too good for him and would class him up a bit.

Oh, dang. Just looked him up. Know who that is. Used to watch his card collecting videos on YT. Too bad he's actually a douche.

Yeah…incredible. Gotta have mental toughness, but man what a shitty thing it was to let something like that leak…whether it was done intentionally or not who knows?

 

[Llewzaher]

That is indeed the worst part for me as well

I think for the fans that got to know these guys and their families personally.. it wouldn’t matter

Saying goodbye is saying goodbye.. but you are right .. we were finally seeing the fruits of the rebuild

YOTES FOREVER BABY AWOOOO

 

[Killing Joke]

I will say, years ago I used to make jokes at the expense of the yotes and the fanbase like an asshole. Then I grew up. I guess it had to do with just being empathetic and not an edgelord sack of shit.

I remember seeing how Cubs fans reacted when they finally won the wold series, and how some people celebrated at the graves at their relatives that died before it they won. Guess that just kinda woke me up to that.

I know at the end of the day this is just a game, but we all have found a connection to it and get addicted to it. We have memories with friends and family at these games, and I guess until it's threatened we don't realize how we take it for granted. Not even my team, but my heart does ache for you all that love this team.

I really really hope AZ gets a team ASAP. I also hope this part of the forum doesn't get locked and archived, and that you Yotes fans in here stick around even if it does.

If you want to continue on with some pain, I more than welcome you guys to the Devils fan base haha.

Screwing up in every way possible is what they do.

Funny .. I was working at the Auto show detailing cars when I was a kid and got an autograph from Teppo, Thomas Steen, and Selanee

This team is so f***ing close to playoffs

Keller schmaltz Maccelli Guenther Cooley Durzi doan

When is the last time we had that much pure talent

Stick with the team in Utah and we’ll see what happens in AZ in five years

Empathy is underrated. Nice post.

Teasing the draft? Does Twitter have a pre-planned Tweet feature they forgot to cancel? Maybe the Vegas kid they hired is just trolling everyone.

Tweets can be pre-programmed.

When they do kick ass in SLC they'll shit on us again. I can hear it already "See, they just needed to be in a real market."

I'm certain of it, I think it starts next season

My family woke up just as the players and staff hit the ice after the game. I completely lost it when I had to explain to my 5 year old son why I was sad.

f*** this hurts

 

[Llewzaher]

Yeah maybe I’m in the minority, but I think that would make me feel even more sad. I want to watch what has been being built, the guys I’ve rooted for, have success. Even if it’s not in my town. I think most of these guys are really great guys and good characters and they’ve built up a lot of talent…I hope they have a ton of success.

100%
When we lost the Jets, I followed them to PHX..

Winnipeg got their team back.. but that is not my team ( Now I have sinced moved from MB . I don’t think that would change if I lived there)

Now fans that have formed relationships with these players .. like most in Scottsdale are going to follow the players .. but when they get a new team they will form relationships with the new players, and they will be fine.. until then follow the team you have put your heart and soul into

I want these guys in AZ , but I will follow them wherever they go.. the worst possible thing they could ever do is dissolve the team .. as someone mentioned. I would likely just stick with the Bombers and NASCAR at that point.

It’s not the players fault or managements .. I would encourage my fellow Yotes fans to take all the time you need . And when you are done grieving.. stick with the players you are invested in . Think of them as your family that moved away.

When AZ gets a new team then you have a decision to make ;

Heck by the time they get a team a lot of these players that love AZ will be Free Agents

This is savage.

Poor Heater. Man he barely kept it together in his sign off.

Loved how he ended the show with “Happy Trails.”

Too much over-emotional boohooing for me.

 

[mouser]

The fans were very classy at the game tonight and also very supportive of the players. Majority of the crowd stuck around for at least 20 minutes after the game while going through the team photographs and player salute. A good portion of them also remained through the "jerseys off our backs" giveaway which finished about a half hour after the game ended.

 

[Foggy1097]

I saw AT’s postgame but was that it? No player interviews?

 

[hangman005]

If I could give you our playoff spot and give you a little bit longer with your yotes I would. You guys have been a class act, and deserved far better than what you got. Not the same as your team, but I hope the NHL returns, everything goes perfectly and y'all kick some ass.

Much love and condolences from your desert brothers.

 

[gorsk11]

Hello, all...Habs fan here. Was just curious if you all are annoyed by the effort to win tonight with regards to draft position? I was aggravated by my team picking up a point in last night's game, and am grateful that the Yotes played hard tonight and will likely move back ahead in the standings.

Your team has outsucked us for the last 4 years including this one. I have liked our picks over your teams the last two years. So no.... we enjoyed winning our last game here.

 

[BigJCaRoach]

Glad I was there. Sobbed. Stayed until they kicked me out with about the 30 or so remaining.

I love this team and I just don’t want this to be over. I was 10 when they arrived. Oleg Tverdovsky was my first favorite. Then 19. And I didn’t look back.

This feels like losing my first best friend. They’re moving away. And I’m powerless and heartbroken.

Goodbye for now. Hurry back, friend. I want my kid(s) to get their Oleg or Doaner. Soon.
