When Evander Kane knocked out Matt Cooke, it was horrific. I watched it several times just to see if it got any easier.
Matt Cooke had it coming after shortening many careers while with Vancouver or Pittsburgh. One of the dirtiest player I've ever seen, I'm glad players can't be Matt Cookes anymore (or what Kane did back then, he cannot do anymore without extreme comeuppance).
@@severed111 Yup
matt cooke played like that because thats what his coaches wanted, you all pretend half the league didnt play like matt cooke to avoid being cut by management. clutterbuck and marchard are just as bad as cooke and they are still in the league.
@@drumagus2258 "just as bad as Cook" yh i guess you never watched that scumbag play
@@drumagus2258 Not even close
The thing is that Gary Bettman is not a dumb guy. He knows, and we know that he's lying when he says there's no link between hockey and CTE. I know he doesn't want to open the door to lawsuits or whatever, but saying there's no link at this point is just ridiculous.
The coyotes logos and jerseys are too good to abandon but I can see why it may make sense from different angles
Yea I think if they come back the NHL wants the stench of the old Coyotes franchise as far as way from the new Arizona Franchise. Prob bring it in as a 3rd jersey at some point
@@crushdavis7048 Yeah, i would say the way the Hurricanes wear the Whalers jersey a couple of times a year.
Thanks for keeping the light on CTE
CTE is a potential result of contact sports. The NHL should build up a fund to compensate players and to develop more rigorous protocols to help prevent/detect brain injury. Instead the NHL continues to deny and delay,
I remember doing a paper in college on CTE and how it’s linked to sports right after that lawsuit was settled. I was baffled when I was researching and found out I couldn’t talk about the NHL because of that lawsuit. The way the NHL has handled discussing CTE is disgusting.
The Stevens hit on Karyia in the playoffs in 2003 was brutal and then Karyia came back in and won the game, which he doesn't remember. I hope he's doing okay now.
That was the ugliest, most heinious hit I have ever witnessed. Kariya was never the same afterwards.
@@meddyven agreed
He is fine, lives in OC, but prefers to stay away from hockey. As a Ducks fan, I'm happy for him, but wish he'd be more involved in the events the club organizes, like Selanne or Niedermayer.
ua-cam.com/video/R1l31TA0MLA/v-deo.htmlsi=u439hGkihvvERSj8
@@meddyven No, his life went downhill after he hung up the skates for good. Utree in his Hockey Culture video went over some former players who suffered harder once their hockey careers came to an end. Joe Murphy was said to have been homeless, Dan Carcillo and Nick Boyton took some heavy damage to their heads from the scraps and fights they got into throughout their short-lived careers, many players chose not to say or do anything and just coped with the trauma. If that hit was made in today's NHL, Stevens would get a hefty suspension and be constantly booed by the other team's fans whenever he set foot in their arena.
Ducks won that game 5-2. His goal made it 4-1. But yes, very iconic moment in Ducks history with a lot of sadness attached to it.
I have CTE and I want to thank you Shannon for your continued news about it and understanding the seriousness of this issue. It is a daily battle to survive and the denial and lack of awareness by the NHL and others is permitting the body count to silently rise. Thank you!
Hang in there, one day at a time.
Im not trying to be insensitive here but I thought CTE could only be diagnosed after death. How do you know if it is CTE?
I honestly didn't expect Meruelo to bail this quickly but I wouldn't really blame him if he didn't want to deal with the stress of trying to get things in order and still being hated years from now if he got the team back
The thing is the reactivation of the franchise would have required Meruelo to pay back the $1 billion that he received when he sold the team. He obviously was never going to do that, I can't believe there still were people who believed Alex Meruelo would get land to build a new arena, it was obvious that it's over for hockey in AZ.
@RJM1972 I'm assuming it is because he is getting up there in age and just wants out at this point to probably just enjoy life. Dude has plenty of money thats for sure.
Meruelo did what he does , turned a losing business into a billion dollars
One of the best days for Arizona hockey in a long time
We don't need to hear the term "Arizona Hockey" ever again.
They were never popular compared the Cardinals,Suns and D-Backs
@@jayvardy Yes we do. Arizona deserves a Hockey team, they'll get it by 2032 for sure.
@@HarryRiceHockey You don't know the definition of the word Deserves if after all that's happened you use it regarding Arizona and a hockey team.
For sure. >> "As for the future of hockey in the desert, Bettman said at the NHL's Board of Governors meetings it is not something the NHL is focused on."
No hockey in AZ now, with Meruelo or not.
Meruelo needed to go. But we need hockey back in PHX. Asap.
Also please include New Era deal in a video. A lot of people will be stoked to have the best fitted caps in the business for their hockey teams. I'm pumped about it.
A couple years isn't too bad. And I think the biggest hurdle to clear just went away.
No liability but we'll pay you anyways... yeah, no doubt the NHL was going to loose in court.
Yeah, the head injuries.. I grew up in the 70's/80's.. .ah just got your bell rung... you'll be ok.. get back out there... even though you couldn't tell him your name... and later have no memory of what happened.
Yup. "Walk it off, you p*ssy," is a phrase you would hear quite often on the bench. Different times.
@RJM1972 LOL no let's channel the old SNL skit (I think from the first season)... put a little butter onit.
is there a Хоккей Guy and will he be doing KHL power rankings next season?
Ottawa and Winnipeg are (Far as I can tell) the only franchises to revive a previous Team Name.
Must be a Canadian thing ;)
If the Utah team "obtained" the Coyotes History I'd be happy with the whole situation and excited for the new team
Same. I thought the last iteration of their uniform was absolutely perfect, it deserves to be preserved, ideally by Utah which is where I'm from. I think I'd rather be the Yotes than the Yeti. But I understand why folks would object to that.
I think you have to bring back the Coyotes name. In how ever many years it takes to bring back hockey to AZ, I think a lot of the ugliness will have been replaced by nostalgia. The Kachina is an iconic logo and I think it would be a shame to let all that go away.
Call it a redemption arc.
@@Taelen520 here’s some food for thought. If Denver hadn’t gotten a major league baseball team in 1992, would Colorado have brought back the Rockies name when they moved in 1996? would there have been an appetite for it? Who knows. :-)
I want Arizona to get a team again someday, because when a team is given in expansion to a conference, one has to be given to the other nowadays, no more can there be leagues with even numbers of teams or conferences with 3-4 more teams than the other. It's when Quebec City will be back and don't come at me with the "small market BS", the Videotron Centre, is a NHL ready arena, who hosts a QMJHL team (along with the other sports facilities in there), the Quebec Ramparts, who typically are a great team but not always, they were amongst the worse last season and they still got 20k+ people, for a Junior game. And the people in Gatineau, QC on the other side of Ottawa who happen to be Sens fans, well, they coexisted when both the Sens and Nords existed, not causing issues for Montreal, who have a huge population and a huge amount of fans. They will lose maybe just 10%, many Nords fans never watched hockey again, because it meant switching to Montreal as your main team, it took me until 2002 playoffs to get me interested in the Habs. Now I would be a bit torn, but I would end up being a Nords fan, especially since I live closer to Quebec City than Montreal.
It pains me to see the Coyotes go in some way, one of my best friends in high school bought a white jersey of theirs when they were in the league since maybe 2 seasons, their best era, with Roenick doing very good as a 1st centre and great goaltending, they never could capture back the kind of team they inherited from Winnipeg (and the changes they made to make them even better), by the turn of the century that era was fully over. Always loved that Jersey he had anyways, one of the case where the white one is superior to the home jersey imo.
@@severed111 to be blunt, QC should have had a team before Utah.
TLDR: Brain injuries are always bad and have longterm consequences.
First, props to THG for discussing CTE and related injuries. It could easily be an overlooked topic given the amount of games and news covered, but it is discussed on this channel periodically.
Brain injuries were misunderstood for a long time (arguably still are misunderstood), and I’d say by personal experience that they can/will cause longterm consequences that can’t always be foreseen. My concussion was a singular, non-hockey related event. I can’t imagine the toll it must have on hockey players to have repeated incidents throughout their careers. To continue playing when back from injury and still get into body checks and various physical plays is dangerous no matter what. Sure, these guys are trained athletes built like tanks (at least compared to us average Joes) and they ARE aware of the risk of injury, but damm. Greg Johnson, Paul Kariya and Eric Lindros (to name only a select few) should be prime examples that TBI and high contact sports like hockey DO have undeniable correlations with CTE.
I love hockey, but I personally think the NHL not acknowledging CTE is shameful. I live in hope that things like concussion protocols and in-arena spotters are a sign that they’ll get there someday.
TL;DR
Symptoms of CTE, which occur in four stages, generally appear eight to ten years after an individual experiences repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries.
First-stage symptoms are confusion, disorientation, dizziness, and headaches. Second-stage symptoms include memory loss, social instability, impulsive behavior, and poor judgment. Third and fourth stages include progressive dementia, movement disorders, hypomimia, speech impediments, sensory processing disorder, tremors, vertigo, deafness, depression and suicidality.[7]
Additional symptoms include dysarthria, dysphagia, cognitive disorders such as amnesia, and ocular abnormalities, such as ptosis.[8] The condition manifests as dementia, or declining mental ability, problems with memory, dizzy spells or lack of balance to the point of not being able to walk under one's own power for a short time and/or Parkinsonism, or tremors and lack of coordination. It can also cause speech problems and an unsteady gait. Patients with CTE may be prone to inappropriate or explosive behavior and may display pathological jealousy or paranoia.
I remember watching Greg Johnson as our Captain in Nashville. Still hard to think about him being gone.
Merulo actually owns the Roadrunners and I noticed he’s actually building an arena and expanding the GSR resort he own in Reno Nevada and he has plans to move them out of Arizona and to Reno…
I don't understand how the NHL and NFL can have problems with lawsuits, yet the UFC has no issues. Especially slap league became a thing after all the CTE stuff and that would give damn near anyone CTE.
That's because when a fighter gets knocked they get suspended from fighting for at least 6 months, sometimes longer. They can stop you from fighting but they can't really do a whole lot about their training. That's mostly on the fighter and his trainers. In the NHL and NFL you could see a player that got knocked out playing a few weeks later
UFC have no union and fighters have no rights.
@RJM1972 yeah the state is who suspends the fighters. They are also medically checked after every fight. If it was a good fight then both fighters usually go to the hospital afterwards. But honestly it's 2024, if people don't know that you can get concussions from football or hockey then they're living under a rock. Who do you think is responsible for the cte though? The NFL/NHL or the parents that have their kids start playing these sports at the age of 4?
The NHL and NFL are getting sued because they knew about the long term risks of head injuries and covered it up, so players didn’t know about those potential risks. UFC/MMA are open about those risks, so fighters can make an informed decision about participating. It’s the difference between “what, no, there’s no long term risk from head injuries, you’ll be fine” vs “here are the long term risks, if you still want to do this, that’s your choice as an adult”.
Greg Johnson and I share a birthday. Gives me another reason to be thankful to still be alive. RIP.
Hey HG,
I did not know about the NHL and their history with CTE. Very wealthy people don't like their business interests messed with and will deny, deny, deny anything that might negatively impact their business. If we need evidence of this look no further than the tobacco industry denying that there was link to smoking and cancer even though their internal scientists had already confirmed the link in private.

Good treatment of the CTE issue, Shannon.
thanks for all the videos
The movie D3 kind of poked fun at players suffering major hits. The varsity team’s hit on Averman comes to mind.
DEMINOV will be in MONTREAL/LAVAL this year if they get it right
Hi Shannon, I really enjoy your channel. As someone who grew up with Rugby League (I’m an Aussie), I am completely confounded by the tolerance of hits to the head via ‘dropping the gloves’ in hockey. I can’t think of another sport that has so many means by which players can be catastrophically injured by play. The bizarre (tactical?) pantomime of guys clocking each other in the head while the match officials stand off to the side is not really something you expect to see in sport in 2024. The fact that the fights are cheered by the crowd and replayed on the TV coverage makes me wonder if those watching view the players as cartoon characters. I read Ken Dryden’s excellent book about the death of Steve Montador (Game Change), and I wonder how much has changed in the years since his death. The NHL seems to have a pretty self-serving and cynical view towards the issue of head trauma in hockey.
The Smith Entertainment Group should definitely take the Coyotes name and logo’s
They don't own it nor should they
brings to many negative vibes with that name.
Pat Lafontaine was probably the first player I can remember revealing what Post Concussion Syndrome was like. That was in the late 90's.
If that’s the last Yotes jersey you wear for a news video, you made a great choice
I'm hoping Coyotes Merch will still be available. Hell, you can still get Hartford Whalers and other "Legacy" teams merch on Fanatics.
I'll never forgive the khl and Radulov for what happened in Nashville all those years ago. He was so exciting to watch. Hopefully something like that is less likely to happen now.
Him and his buddy show up for a game shitfaced for a play-off game. He and his buddy should have been banned from the league..
What did he do?
@@Kmartsmart he left nashville while he still had one year on his contract and hype to be the next big offensive player for the team and signed in the KHL for four years then came back and played the last bit of a season, then nashville let him go
I can understand that my friend, when he came back and had the best seasons of his life in Montreal and then Dallas, he was eye candy to see play, I think he came back once to Nashville but only played about 10 games and returned to the KHL, not sure what happened there.
@@severed111 yeah it was the tail end of the season, then he became a UFA since he was 4 years older than he should've been lol. I doubt it would've ended any better if he was RFA, but yeah I had high hopes for that guy
As per Meruelo giving up the rights to the Coyotes’ trademarks, etc., I would like to see the NHL split up the rights, giving the Utah team all of the records, etc., that the team earned while playing in Arizona, and giving the Jets all of the records, etc., that were earned in Winnipeg.
You really want the NHL to copy basketball? The Jets are about as relevant as the Charlotte Hornets, why not make their history equally as bizarre?
@@brientaylorcohen hey... I'm a Jets fan and they are relevant, trust me... been following the Jets since I was a kid and I'm 58. We'd love to have the records to Jets 1.0 back in Winnipeg.
I'd agree to this... I'm a Jets fan and the only history I want back in Winnipeg is the part where they were here (up to 1996) and then of course the current records of Jets 2.0. Utah can have the Coyotes history with no issue from me.
give the Jets the records for when they was the Jets. Coyotes records stay in AZ and Utah gets nothing.
@@Dratchev241 Utah doesn't want it, reason being they are a new team and the history of the Coyotes stayed in Arizona, which was part of the deal and the reason they will use another name other than the Coyotes
Great news about the KHL and Nikishin for Carolina.
New Phoenix team should be called the Moon Doggies. Apparently that's one name considered before the Coyotes we're used.
A billion dollars richer and gets to walk away...
@@TheBitterSpinach and there is no more terrible coyotes win win for everyone
the Coyotes were holding the NHL back
Sure Spinach, but during the years he bought it, he shelled out a lot of money to keep it going. Just a smart business decision. Were there a hundred other billionaires lined up to lose lots of money? He took a big risk and it paid off. He's still a douchebag by all accounts though, so there's that.
I get the owner of the yokes dropped the ball, but this is a shame. Those kachina jerseys are beautiful I love them, they’re so nice and now you don’t have Arizona hockey and coyotes hockey, them thriving is what was needed and now they pay the consequences of the owners faults
Arizona will be back just need the right owner
I feel like there's more that can be said about the KHL and RHF. Maybe a separate video on it?
CTE is brutal. the problem with hockey, and most other contact sports, is that it is like a drug. players want that high now, and damn the consequences. i have had several concussions, and i didn't tell anybody, because i wanted to stay in. currently, at the age of 40 i still don't have regrets about it. I don't know if i will, but those were the best years of my life.
I played Division I college football and baseball and I'll probably have it here in several years. Mid-40's now, but those times were some of the best in my life. If I had a Delorean to go back in time, I would play those years over and over again on a loop.
You may not; you may end up retiring before you’re 60 because depression, anxiety, or intermittent brain fog episodes make you unable to continue working.
This is how I see it: you take on a mortgage when you’re young but, unlike a traditional loan, you don’t know what the interest rates are and you’re not allowed to make any payments at all until the term is expired. Maybe it’s 5 years later; maybe it’s 35 years later. Maybe the rates were low and you can easily pay off the mortgage; maybe they were very high and it’s going to cost you a lot more than you expected. You don’t know the cost, until you do know.
Good luck; hopefully you continue to not have any issues from TBIs or non-traumatic brain injuries in the future. ✌️
I agree 100%, but the point i am trying to make is we saw the writing on the wall, but the glory was worth the risk...
As a former coyotes fan I am so disappointed and disgusted how all of this turned out I could care less if the NHL ever comes back to Arizona. I'm also not at all shocked Meruelo walked away. I never believed he was actually serious about an expansion team. As far as retaining rights to the to the "team", I had assumed he was going to try to sell it. I guess it all just got too stupid and complicated to be realistic. It might jut be my paranoid distrustful nature, but a lot of this seems to have happened by design.
This seems more like an equal 50-50 mix of greed and incompetence.
anytime he opened his mouth he was lying, anyone could tell that, what might be best is to get a lower level hockey team in the state or in the Phoenix area to hold the fans over, it worked in Winnipeg they had the Moose to entertain between their NHL days.
I hear your argument on the Coyotes name with an Arizona team, but my counter: the kachina. I don't know. I could see it either way.
That Meruello news reminds me of mr. Burns in the Simpsons holding a dollar bill and pondering: "One dollar for eternal happiness? I think I'm happier with the dollar."
In awarding a franchise, the NHL should require written support from the local politicians for an arena site or expansion of an existing site.
Shannon use the Arizona jersey when you want a neutral jersey.
I wonder how Eric Lindros is faring these days. He had so many concussions.
If a franchise comes back to Arizona, I would bring back the Coyotes. It worked for Winnipeg
Arizona Desert Wanderers.
Utah should take the history and let the name and logo go.
The biggest question now after Meruelo scarpers off is when will the Jets' lineage be restored
We are through the looking glass people
Leagues/organizations in charge of martial arts like boxing, kickboxing, pro wrestling, Muay Thai, MMA, etc that involve strikes to the head should take note of this if they haven't already. Those athletes can be at risk of suffering from CTE as much as hockey/football players, especially pro wrestlers.
The difference is that fighters know the inherent risks and are licensed by commissions in the states they fight in. They also have to get regular brain scans and get cleared by medical doctors assigned by the state and not their own in order to fight. It's much different than in hockey or football where you can play as long as a doctor (paid by the team and therefore influenced by them) clears them. Not to mention contact sports played down the risks of brain injuries and CTE whereas in combat sports brain injuries are assumed.
@@Dariusknight,
There's one medically retired MMA fighter... he never made it to pro before being medically retired... the reason was simple, he was KO'ed in a fight. The punch landed with enough kinetic energy to _break_ his skull and send skull fragments into his brain. Luckily, the medical staff was good and the hospital was able to surgically remove all the fragments... but he now has a hole in his head... which means _he_ can never fight as the _next_ punch might be fatal.
@@aralornwolf3140 Which is why combat sports have massive waivers that fighters have to sign and have doctors chosen by the commission that they are being licensed in clear them medically. Inherent risks require more stringent protocols. Hockey and Football were able to get away with it for years because they didn't believe there was any inherent risk of TBI and/or minimalized it. Not to mention that the team had paid doctors on call to clear their players that were willing to do so even if it wasn't medically sound to do so. Honestly all injuries should be assessed not by team doctors or team medical staff but by neutral medical staff that aren't paid by either the team or the players.
Sorry that this vid got demonetized because UA-cam can’t handle tough topics.
Hell think of Paul kariya off the floor on the board, he doesn’t remember the goal or the game past the hit by Stevens
It’s a colossal embarrassment for the league to not acknowledge the CTE connection.
Maybe Meruelo will try to pull a Red Dutton someday should Gary Gambleman not be immortal?
CTE has many impacted causes, but concussions is where the money is.
"Punch Drunk"
Does anyone know how long the term is for the Utah HC has with the Roadrunners? because there use to be a rule in the AHL that participating teams needed to have an NHL affiliate. Utah needs to create their own team to get away from Meruelo without having to give him anymore money to buy that AHL team, possibly just stop sending their players there and set up another team AHL team in Arizona or see if they can affiliate with the Utah Grizzlies by getting that organization to move up from the ECHL to the AHL and having their players close by.
So are the Coyotes’ name and logos public domain now, or do they belong to the NHL?
Does this mean the franchise history moves to Utah as well?
We assume so but don't know for sure yet. I can't see why not. It may be years before a team is back in Arizona if ever.
Based on the initial agreement it didn't, though I can see at least the records now going to SLC as well
I says this before, Arizona is going to come back but under a new name
There is just no way Buttman/NHL could admit CTE. It all comes down to money. Insurance companies would have a field day with this. Either many players wouldnt be able to get insured by their teams, or if they were, the cost would be astronomical. Also, admitting to anything pertaining to CTE would open up the NHL to thousands more lawsuits.
The bad man is finally gone!
Name them the roadrunner like every other team in arizona has been
Let's name the new Arizona team the Scorpions. And create a Kachina inspired scorpion
If possible, find a way to buy the Phoenix Roadrunners name, logo, marketing rights etc., and bring in a new team that brings back to their start in the valley. back in the late 60's into the 70's, and also in the 90's. Then they could really be proud of there city, 'Phoenix', rising up from the ashes that was once a Coyote den.
If they bring back a team in Arizona it needs to be the coyotes.
Why? Almost nothing about the Coyotes was successful. Just start over
The khl russian hockey federation agreement is in effect until the end of the 24-25 season. Also the rhf is still reviewing the plan and as yet has not agreed to it. I wouldn't get too excited yet because most things in Russia are managed by the government and the rhf is a government agency. Have a great day
the Flyers posted Michkov is going to wear number 39 and they have his Jersey for sale it was July 9,10,11 at the team store at the Cells Fargo Center but not sure if it's Fanatics or not. Meruelo is said to have burnt so many bridges in Arizona no one wanted to do business with him . if Shane Doan is apart of a ownership group that comes back to Arizona i think that is the only way they should use Coyotes again maybe this time they could use the Scorpions name . its a shame the Coyotes had the second best logo and jerseys in the league next to the Hartford Whalers uniforms when they moved to Carolina the blue ones
What do people expect the nhl to do about the cte issue? We all know that repeated blows to the head causes it. Unfortunately this sport puts players at risk based on the nature of the sport. The only way to get rid of it completely is to completely eliminate contact from the game. Does anyone think that that will be good for the sport? Removing contact would be the end of hockey but would be the only way to eliminate the risk of cte.
If you had a time machine and could go back to The time Jets 1.0 move and show bettman the entire history of the Coyotes what does he do?
If I were the Sharks, I would keep Dickinson on the Barracuda's roster for this upcoming season to get acclimated to playing professionally. Season 2 would be when they can start to get him onto the Shark's roster as a regular.
Even if Dickinson could flail around and get a trial by fire this year, San Jose would be setting themselves up for a core of 25 year old UFAs.
So since Merelo gave up the rights to the coyotes does Utah get the team records?
Say what you will about Meruelo... he financially punked the NHL to the tune of over half a billion$.
Remember the days when guys would hit other players so hard that they’d shatter the glass-gotta take a toll on a player’s head
I'll never forget seeing Kariya get leveled by Scott Stevens and lay on the ice unconscious. He rejoined the same game and never should've came back in that game.
Why would anyone go to Arizona. Continual moving bar of bureaucracy and regulations
Cant blame him for giving up.
Football and hockey are modern day Roman games and the players are the modern day gladiators. There for the mob entertainment and nothing more.
@RJM1972 these men, have families, mortgages and other financial obligations that they cannot meet at a basic 9to5 job. Do you really think it would be easy for them to just walk away? Would you wake up one morning and say “I don’t have to go to work”, or do you have responsibilities that require you to do what you must to provide for you and your family? Life is not that simple.
@@MatthewArnold-gb8cs,
They still have a choice... and those choose a sport which could end their life.
Does Utah get the Arizona team history ? Or does it just die ?
Based on the agreement it just dies
How about a vid discussing teams that should be in the playoffs but aren’t? Teams that are at the cap and still not getting in. Do you think there is interest for such a vid. I think you could do it without being negative. Just a straight shooting analysis giving some details of where these teams are falling short.
Utah Desert Dawgs... there are lots of coyotes around the Great Salt Lake and area.
you have harrier arms than I would think with that baby face
Meruelo robbed Gary of $700M. Good for you!)
Just give the coyotes name and history to the Utah team, no reason not to now with Meruelo gone
As a long-time Sharks fan, I wish they would just tank for the next three to four years and collect draft picks. They really are a bad team, burdened with some very bad contracts (Vlasic, whose contract runs through the 25-26 season, Couture, whose contract runs through the 26-27 season, and Goodrow, whose contract runs through the 26-27 season as well). Additionally, the Sharks are still paying for Burns, Hertl, and EK65. Because of salary retention on those three players, they can't retain any salary on other players until the end of this upcoming 24-25 season (when the Burns contract comes off). Karlsson's contract doesn't come off until the end of the 26-27 season and the Shark's will keep paying a portion of Hertl's contract until the end of the 2029-2030 season. In short, I, and my fellow Sharks fans, are hosed.
Whenever I think of concussions Scott Stevens hit on Paul Kariya. Yikes xInfinity
Alex Meruelo 🙄
good riddance. i feel for the coyotes fans though (yeah.. i know, there's only six of them blah blah blah).
@@Effenjae Yes I feel for the Coyotes Fans to but cool to see Utah now
Why Ryan Smith is exactly what the Doctor Odered way better owner than Muerlo
@@TheHeston83 yep
So does this mean the coyotes are dead or do the records transfer over to Utah and the old Jets records transferred to Winnipeg?
No, they are just dead.
Shannon you probably won't read this, but I wanted to say - now that I've unsubscribed - thanks to you for years of great content. I was a long time fan of the channel and watched daily for years. Now my team's been removed entirely and we've been ejected as hockey fans, there's no happiness to be gained by sticking around hockey spaces. I didn't feel right unsubscribing and walking off without saying thanks for all you've done for Coyotes fans over the years. You were about as fair to us as it got within a fandom that never really wanted us; and who have now gotten their way. Thanks again, and I wish you and your family the very best for the future.
"Can't have the north stars because of the dallas stars" yeah tell that to Minnesotans who cannot let the north stars go. They legitimately believe the wild should be renamed the north stars even if dallas weren't to change their name....
Good riddance to Meruelo. Hope Arizona finds it's way back to the NHL ASAP.
The utah coyotes
If Arizona gets a new team and they aren't named the Coyotes and they don't inherit the team's history and records and the new expansion Arizona team is considered a brand new franchise, and that history and those records don't go to the Utah team, I suppose that means we'll have to consider the Arizona Coyotes a folded franchise. That would make them the first team in one of the major sports leagues to fold since the Cleveland Barons, also of the NHL.. Technically the Barons merged with the North Stars, but still they are a no longer existing franchise.
merge Arizona Coyotes back with Winnipeg Jets?
Arizona Scorpions
Arizona Hyenas?
Winnipeg fans must be thinking, "can we have our franchise history back now?" That history has gone from being owned by someone else to being owned by nobody.
I'm no expert on marketing, but not calling a future Arizona team the Coyotes seems like it would just be making the job harder. Everything else will need to be built from scratch, why do the same with brand recognition?
Ended? I think you mean always was. Yotes were always a problem, never worth the effort.
Perfect example of a transition period of how head hits were talked about (Sami Kapanen): ua-cam.com/video/TdSZjBulFfw/v-deo.html
The guy even says that it looks funny but admits that it is bad.
