With the Phoenix Coyotes finally riding positive momentum due to their playoff run and the ownership saga possibly coming to an end as soon as this month one would think loads of people in the Valley would be excited for the upcoming season. However, instead of people in town talking hockey they are talking about the other pro sports team who makes their home in Glendale. No doubt, the Arizona Cardinals would be the biggest story in town at the moment regardless of what was going on in the NHL. However, if the Coyotes don't get on the ice soon, one wonders if they will soon be out of sight, out of mind. After all many of the staff at this site spent their Sunday watching and tweeting about the Cards, not hockey. The biggest concern about the NHL's latest lockout shouldn't be about losing this season. It should be about losing current and potential NHL fans which would impact the league and the sport for years to come. How many kids do you think are clamoring for Shane Doan jerseys this morning in the Valley?
