The NHL now is in complete control of the Coyotes. They expect the fans in Phoenix to now embrace the team again because they are looking for an owner who will keep the team there.
Outside of Phoenix's soldout home opener(which took all summer to sell), they've been getting only 6,500 on average a night, with some saying the crowds were much less than that. Last night was their lowest with 5,885.
Ha, since you wrote about Phoenix, the ad at the bottom of the page is for Coyotes stuff.
