Ok, the whiteout is upon us Coyotes fans. Travis will have the preview and gameday thread up later in the day, and I hope to see a lot of you tonight at the game. Be loud, be proud.
The big news from last night is that the Glendale City Council has approved the lease with Jerry Reinsdorf's group to purchase the Coyotes:
Glendale goes with Reinsdorf, kills Ice Edge lease for Phoenix Coyotes - Phoenix Business Journal:
A lot of us here at Five For Howling were excited about the Ice Edge group and their attitude about hockey in the valley. I don't know enough about the Reinsdorf proposal and what happened last night to fully comment on it, so I'll let Travis take care of that later today. It's good news that a new owner looks poised to take the reins. The Coyotes should be looking to stay in the valley for many years to come...

Ok, it's very late, I'm tired after the Vampire Weekend concert and need to get some sleep. If there's important stuff going on, post it in the comments. Hope to see everyone at the Whiteout tonight.

GO YOTES WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I like my goals like I like my booze..... Top shelf.

Whats up folks?, wanted to introduce myself here. Im a HUGE Canes fan so obviously Im without a playoff team. With my Canes being in a “small market” I get to hear a lot of the same bullshit you people probably have to deal with. Its annoying and usually based around stupid arguments, and Canadian haters. Fans are fans, no matter how many, and I can only imagine what the diehard ‘Yotes fans go through. With that I want it known that I am very excited for your Coyotes team and I will be pulling hard for you guys to win it all! Im so on-board the Coyote wagon that this is the most excited I’ve ever been about any playoff that didnt feature one of my teams. Im a regular reader/commenter over at Canes Country, and if you folks dont mind, I may set up shop here and watch these playoffs with yall!
Go CANES, and Go YOTES!
I'm from San Jose, and we dealt with rumors of moves to Kansas City in the early years.
And look at San Jose now. Selling out almost every game. Look at Pittsburgh. I hate pittsburgh, but they got jacked around almost as bad as Yotes fans. And here they are, setting up shop in a brand new arena.
Carolina was a step up from hartford, but any hockey old-schooler will profess their love for hartford. I loved the Whalers and their history myself, and would love a team eventually expanding into a new Hartford Whalers. But, I would never take away from Carolina. it seems that the Panthers, Bobcats, and ‘Canes…Carolina sports came out of nowhere. We know there’s enough people in the area to pack sporting venues. I hate to say it though, but the east coast bias makes Carolina a bit more protected against scrutiny than places like Phoenix.
It’s not that they’re all that different.
But yes, as I rooted for Carolina when they beat every team I labled as douchebags a few years back, We totally encourage you to drop some Coyote love in the same respect. We know we’re not your team. But just to piss everyone else off? Felt good for me too.

Just don’t bring Harwood with you.

He acts like a pompous jerk. I was on Canes Country discussing Caps vs Canes last year and several people including Harwood went over the line IMO. I haven’t been back there since. I’ve posted on plenty of SBN sites and its the only one I’ve ever had issues with in terms of the tone.
Corey, on the other hand, I’m a fan of. He’s level headed, knows hockey, and you can agree/disagree with in a civil manner.

Oh well, I cant speak on the matter b/c I dont specifically remember it. Bobs a good guy, and heated arguments arent the norm on his site, even with commenters from rival teams. Although if things were going to get heated Caps/Canes can really do it. I wouldnt hold it against him though. Either way, Im here to support your Yotes!
Yes, Caps vs Canes has certainly turned into a rivalry. I hate the Canes but I am a big Cam Ward fan.
Glad to have you around for the playoff run. Hopefully it will be for more than one series.

The What If sports prediction is...interesting...
It predicts that every round, all the higher seeds will win. Ok, I know that they’ve got some fancy software simulating all the games, and their predictions are the sum total of all that….but when the final result is akin to what might occur if I were to tell my mom to fill out an NCAA basketball bracket, it loses some of its predictive value, I think.
Add to that the fact that a couple minutes on Wikipedia show that over the past ten years, there have been at least two upsets in the first round very time the playoffs have been contested, and I’m not sure how much stock I’d put in the What If predictions.

I'm staying out of the prognostication business this time around
I mean, I think the Red Wings will win in 6, which hardly makes it a cakewalk, but other than that, I look at the matchups and come to the same conclusions What If comes to….which is part of why I’m not putting any stock in ‘em. I ain’t no great shakes at predicting winners.

Posted because they were interesting, not because I thought they really had any predictive value. To be true though, they do have the #2 seed beating the Sharks in the Western Conference Finals…

HOWL! LETS GO COYOTES!!
yeah, I missed that
Saw the 1 vs 2 in the final round, and the brain translated that as “top two seeds”, without grokking which teams they actually had in their sim SCF.
Ok, so it’s more like my mom filling out a NCAA bracket after I tell her that (San Jose equivalent) always chokes at some point.
