With the
#NHLPlayoffs
this weekend and the millions of new fans in the state, I thought I’d start sharing some of the basic need-to-knows of hockey! I can cover everything from positions and line changes to strategies and drafting.
What do you want to hear about?

Everyone knows Miamis sign makes zero sense. I will never understand how they managed to claim “the U” when there’s not even a letter U in Miami…. Or Florida….
You know me for posting about hockey, football, and whatever other random crap is in my head. What you may not know is that I’m a proud dad to a little girl who’s had to fight through every second of her brief life and has made huge waves against all the odds.
For reference, the Coyotes have NEVER moved up in the Draft Lottery, only ever staying put or moving back. The highest they have ever picked was 3rd overall. Most notably, in the 2015 draft, Arizona were moved back from 2nd overall to 3rd overall, when Edmonton won for the…
Utah's NHL team will release their list of finalist team names tomorrow (May 8th) via a survey.
A reminder of the names that have been trademarked thus far:
Bittersweet moment tonight..
I grew up supporting the avs and going to games and have even flown out from Utah after I moved here a few times to go see games.
Now that we’re getting a team here, I may never do that again, if not to support team UT.
Talked to the season ticket guys briefly, said they hope to have more info on pricing etc in about 30 days or so. Also said priority will likely be based on deposit timestamp so the earlier you put your deposit down the more likely you are to get tix.

Outlaws, blizzard, venom - I honestly don’t even care what the name ends up being. I will support this team no matter what and will buy all the merch. So pumped.

Jazz, nuggets, browns, red/white Sox, cubs, Rockies, packers…. So many that would have just been ripped apart. But everyone loves them now
I get losing the team to Utah sucks, but man, stop attacking Utah/Mormon folks. It's very ugly behavior and not how I know Coyotes fans to be. The only person who deserves your anger for losing this team is Meruelo, not the Utah fans getting our team because of his blunders.
First up: POSITIONS
Teams are made up of about 20 guys on a bench per game
5 skaters + a goalie on the ice per team
Offense or forwards: center and a left/right wing
2 defenders (left and right)
Couldn’t sleep last night. Mind was stuck thinking how awesome it is that we finally have a team and the fans showed up huge last night. Well done Utah, well done.
Team names I will eventually come around on and be happy with regardless, no matter my feelings today:
Outlaws
Mammoth (single)
Blizzard
Yeti(s)
Venom
Raptors
Maybe even Fury.
What names do you expect to see in the bracket today?
