It’s completely understandable if we’re being fair. The team hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2012 (seven years ago to emphasize the point). Plus, all of the drama surrounding the franchise such as the arena, ownership stability and possibility of relocation that’s almost cheered for by certain hockey loving markets. (Side note, this is NOT to bash on those fans, but it should be noted for proper context moving forward.) Being a Coyotes fan is hard, because of this there was going to be excitement among the fans for the chance to get playoffs back. We’d (Coyotes fans) would love to stop worrying about everything surrounding the team, and just enjoy success on the ice.
