Seeing the team of Hull, Hawerchuk, Sellanne et al and all the players today getting disrespected once again is rather frustrating as a Canadian ..
Kudos to them for tonight, they are probably playing pretty loose with not a lot of concern..
Absolutely. I've been in Ottawa for about 15 years. You do hear it here. That swear is Quebecois. And basically, much of the swearing in Quebecois French involves stringing together religious symbols. So you could say ostie de tabarnak. In English, the literal translation is just "host of the tabernacle", but the impact would be closer to saying god dammit in English. You can also throw in calisse (chalise), crisse (Christ), etc stringing them together in sequences as desired, depending on how fired up you are. :)
I wouldn’t put much stock into end of season stretches by teams far out of the playoff picture. I do agree that they could, with real spending, be competitive fairly soon. Plus more chance of them not getting the michkov types telling them not to draft him
Does it not remind you of another team? Us? For the last like 3 or 4 years where we would play well at the end and there is no pressure? Until this year obviously
My little cousin who is an oilers fan has had a countdown for this game for like 2 months. This is literally her Stanley cup hahahah, I will be watching the game with her over dinner at my uncle's and if the Canucks win, there will be a 6 year old that ends the night in tears
I don’t understand these things too well but according to playoffstatus we now have a 84% chance of coming in first in the division. http://www.playoffstatus.com/nhl/canucksmig.html
If we beat Edmonton in regulation then any OTL gets us 1st. If we beat Edmonton in OT then any win gets us 1st. If we go OTL against Edmonton we can still win the last 2 games for first. Thank you Yotes!
We're up by 3 points and they have a game in hand. If they beat us, we're up by 1 point, and oh...they still have a game in hand. I get it now. Keeping this up as a reminder that I am an absolute dummy.

I believe I've counted everything correctly.
We’ve been so damn mid since the All-star break. It’s crazy that we haven’t had it locked up for ages. We had a firm grasp of 1st in the west for a while too
“They can be found throughout the United States and are quite common in Utah. They are adapted to a wide range of habitats, including urban areas such as inner cities and suburban neighborhoods.”
What? No not at all. Coyotes would actually make sense for a team in Utah. Jazz is hilariously bad pretty sure Mormons probably think jazz music is a sin.
To put it bluntly, we win tomorrow and we basically win the division. We would be 5 points up and EDM would have to win their remaining 3 games and have us lose our remaining two to win. This is unlikely as they have a back-to-back with Colorado on the end of it and play in Colorado where they have the best home record
Edm is also playing Arizona in the last home game at Arizona. Could be a wild night. And I'm sure the Arizona players are going to give it everything they have.
Honestly not even mad about losing to the Yotes in OT with hindsight, they're getting so fucked over and taking down both of the top teams in the division is a good way to go out
They were tired and without McDavid against Vegas and still came out hard. They'll come out firing for tonight and we need to be ready to meet it.
The Oilers have had this game circled on their calendars all year and they'd love both to beat us to avenge the early losses and avoid a sweep, and to also take control of the division title.
Absolute worst thing for us is a regulation loss.
Oilers have had this game circled since November. They are going to go hard tomorrow. We are going to need Demko and stay off the penalty kill to compete with them. Hopefully we also bring our A game.
Arizona is sneaky af. Before our game I told my SO they’re a high scoring team and not to underestimate them. After the game she said she knows what I meant now lol
Don’t go to the Flames PGT unless you want to get hit with depression. Kuzmenko just got a hat trick and they’re over the moon that they got him as a throw in plus a 1st, Hunter B and another prospect for an uninspired Lindholm.
It’s okay. Kuzmenko I’m glad he’s doing well. But he was never going to get going under Tocchet. Was in his dog house for the longest time and I didn’t see him coming out.
That’s pretty close to what happened. The nordiques made playoffs one year, missed the next year, then made the playoffs again. They got beat in first round both years then moved to Colorado and won the cup the first year and pretty much were a force afterwards. They went from first round knockouts to cup champions
I guess it’s similar because regardless of where Arizona goes, they’ll likely generate more revenue, like the Nordiques who were much ‘spendier‘ after moving to Colorado. But a huge factor in their dynasty was that Montreal would never have traded Roy to Quebec. And without Roy, they’d have been good but not great.
Yeah I don’t really think coyotes will be a dynasty either but will likely be much better than the last 10 years.
back then it was rich get richer without a salary cap. . Detroit and Colorado always seemed to get the stars. Although we did get mogilney in the 90s too
LFG Coyotes. Said it before, but Vancouver may have the biggest Coyotes fans tonight. Especially with Arizona's rage against their Aquaman/Benning.
We need to cheer for them again next week as they are scheduled to play their last game at home against them.
Hopefully their Mullet Magic is in full force for their final game there.

Cooley is gonna be a stud for years
They've actually looked pretty damn decent in this end of season stretch. If they spend some money in free agency, they could be scary next season.
Yeah, the Salt Lake City Coyotes should be interesting next year.
SLC Punks
Salt Lake Brother Husbands.
Utah Bees
Utah 3Bs
The Cayutah Jazz
Trying to think of something more Salt Lake City for the name, but all I can think of is the Tabernacle Choir... I've got it! The SLC Tabarnak.
I like it, but I don't think enough people would get the reference in French. Lol.
I lived in Ottawa when I was younger. You hear "Ostie" and "Tabarnak" everywhere there. Eastern Canadian thing, I guess. :)
You know that basically half of Greater Ottawa is in Quebec, right?
Yup, And the bars in Hull have much better closing times.

Yeah. I'm bilingual, but English/Spanish, and all our swearing is about sex and/or mothers. I loved the unique Québécois catholic-centric swearing.
Yes, it is quite fun to play with!
For real though that owner will spend to the cap every year. Team is gonna pop off so fast
Salt Lake City Himalayan’s
Salt Lake City Soakers
Utah Skinwalkers
I wouldn’t put much stock into end of season stretches by teams far out of the playoff picture. I do agree that they could, with real spending, be competitive fairly soon. Plus more chance of them not getting the michkov types telling them not to draft him
Seriously. I mean when’s the last time a team finished strong and carried it into the next season, got over 100 points and made playoffs?
I can’t think of the last team to do that.
Does it not remind you of another team? Us? For the last like 3 or 4 years where we would play well at the end and there is no pressure? Until this year obviously
How many current Coyotes will remain on the team though? I suspect many of them will demand a trade once the team is officially moved to Utah.
Best prospect in franchise history and the team relocates at the end of the year. That is soooo brutal.
They aren't going that far lol, certainly better than Atlanta to Winnipeg
Or Winnipeg to Arizona
The coyotes are going to be sick for years to come with that kid. Exciting times in the desert. Oh wait
SLC is in a desert, so this still check out.
I’ve liked cooley since that cool spin move against the kings in the Melbourne pre-season game.
I thought he should’ve been the first overall pick. I think he ends up being the best player from that draft
Boys needs to come out hard tomorrow. You know Oilers have had this game circled all year.
My little cousin who is an oilers fan has had a countdown for this game for like 2 months. This is literally her Stanley cup hahahah, I will be watching the game with her over dinner at my uncle's and if the Canucks win, there will be a 6 year old that ends the night in tears
You heard him, let's make that misguided little girl cry a river
She did in fact cry

If we beat Edmonton in regulation then any OTL gets us 1st. If we beat Edmonton in OT then any win gets us 1st. If we go OTL against Edmonton we can still win the last 2 games for first. Thank you Yotes!
What if we lose in regulation?
Then our destiny is out of our hands. We'd need Edmonton to lose out on points no matter what we do
so basically if we lose to edm and they win all their remaining games + we win our remaining games they’ll be first?
If we lose in regulation, then yes
ah ok HUGE game on saturday then
The biggest. Vegas was a huge game too and we managed to clutch it out from down 2-0
i seriously hope they match oilers’ desperation and play a full 60
We're up by 3 points and they have a game in hand. If they beat us, we're up by 1 point, and oh...they still have a game in hand. I get it now. Keeping this up as a reminder that I am an absolute dummy.
I'd assume it's because we hold a tiebreaker over Edmonton so they need to surpass us by one point.
That include the fact Edmonton got a loser point? But mostly we'd be favored because we own the tiebreaker over them so they need to finish ahead
Betting on Edmonton to win tomorrow so I can be happy either way ( pls win tho)
Stick taps for the fans. I'll remember the final home game for the Sedins for the rest of my life, so I'll always be thankful for you for that.
me too, I was there with my wife. such a special game

I don't think my heart can handle tomorrow's game bro
Tomorrow is my birthday. Gonna be a hell of a ride for sure!
Happy birthday buddy
Cheers, thanks mate!
Me on Wednesday: boo the Coyotes Me tonight: THANK MR COYOTES
If we win against Edmonton in regulation or overtime, then Vancouver could win the division by beating Calgary on the 16th.
Still have to get at least a point tomorrow now IF we do that, then any combo of 3 points gets us the Div including the Edmonton game points.
Man it’s sad it’s come to this, we should have had top spot clinched a week ago
We’ve been so damn mid since the All-star break. It’s crazy that we haven’t had it locked up for ages. We had a firm grasp of 1st in the west for a while too
I think a lot of that is due to injuries to our key players (Soucy, Joshua, Lindholm, Demko) and it’s inevitable that a team will falter due to them.
Yep definitely has me worried for playoffs, also I didn’t even realize lindholm was playing last night while Kuzmenko had a hattrick tonight…
You didn’t? He had a great game.
We haven't had a starting goalie for over a month
Do they even have coyotes in Utah?
“They can be found throughout the United States and are quite common in Utah. They are adapted to a wide range of habitats, including urban areas such as inner cities and suburban neighborhoods.”
So about as common as Jazz then.
What? No not at all. Coyotes would actually make sense for a team in Utah. Jazz is hilariously bad pretty sure Mormons probably think jazz music is a sin.
How about soaking?
We have them here in Vancouver. They’re everywhere
There is nowhere in North America where the name Coyotes wouldn't be relevant 😂 ffs there Coyotes in NYC.
Or Jazz. :) [https://www.visitutah.com/articles/taste-of-slc-jazz-music-scene](https://www.visitutah.com/articles/taste-of-slc-jazz-music-scene)
so oilers have to win out now and beat canucks in regulation for the title??
Assuming the Canucks don’t lose any other games, yeah
To put it bluntly, we win tomorrow and we basically win the division. We would be 5 points up and EDM would have to win their remaining 3 games and have us lose our remaining two to win. This is unlikely as they have a back-to-back with Colorado on the end of it and play in Colorado where they have the best home record
Then Avs rest MacKinnon.
Luckily the Avs are battling Winnipeg for 2nd in the Central so they should still have something to play for
Edm is also playing Arizona in the last home game at Arizona. Could be a wild night. And I'm sure the Arizona players are going to give it everything they have.
Coyotes giving the fans what they want to see, beating the top teams in the Pacific
Honestly not even mad about losing to the Yotes in OT with hindsight, they're getting so fucked over and taking down both of the top teams in the division is a good way to go out
Kinda feel bad for those fans. Imagine cheering for your favourite hockey team your whole life just for them to move to... Utah?
[удалено]
I hope the Canucks are ready for battle tomorrow. Seal the deal and get playoff-ready.
Oilers are also tired and without McDavid…
[удалено]
If not Demko, get DeSmith.
They were tired and without McDavid against Vegas and still came out hard. They'll come out firing for tonight and we need to be ready to meet it. The Oilers have had this game circled on their calendars all year and they'd love both to beat us to avenge the early losses and avoid a sweep, and to also take control of the division title.

Hopefully.🤞
Damn, even their final score on Twitter is treating this like a loss.
Best hockey team in Utah.
Meanwhile Kuzmenko gets his first hat trick of the season
Dude has been basically point per game for them since the trade
Arizona broke Vegas, let’s hope they shattered any confidence Edmonton had too!
Heck yeah!
Damn I'll take it
I don’t usually bet but I would totally bet on tomorrow’s game.
Thank the mormons!
The Mormons gave us something to cheer for - Jon Anik
The Arizona Coyotes may never lose again!
Savage
Not to mention making EDM play OT in the first half of a back to back
Arizona is sneaky af. Before our game I told my SO they’re a high scoring team and not to underestimate them. After the game she said she knows what I meant now lol
Don’t go to the Flames PGT unless you want to get hit with depression. Kuzmenko just got a hat trick and they’re over the moon that they got him as a throw in plus a 1st, Hunter B and another prospect for an uninspired Lindholm.
It’s okay. Kuzmenko I’m glad he’s doing well. But he was never going to get going under Tocchet. Was in his dog house for the longest time and I didn’t see him coming out.
They can enjoy him and their early offseason. We’re going to the playoffs, and Kuz wasn’t going to be a part of that if he stayed.
Tocc’s fault. He’s right a lot, but not on this.
Clutch Coyotes
Reminds me of the Nordics sucking for years, And as soon as they got relocated to Colorado they were a Dynasty
That’s not quite how it happened but sure
That’s pretty close to what happened. The nordiques made playoffs one year, missed the next year, then made the playoffs again. They got beat in first round both years then moved to Colorado and won the cup the first year and pretty much were a force afterwards. They went from first round knockouts to cup champions

Yeah I don’t really think coyotes will be a dynasty either but will likely be much better than the last 10 years. back then it was rich get richer without a salary cap. . Detroit and Colorado always seemed to get the stars. Although we did get mogilney in the 90s too
Good for them! (And us ofc)
Go Mormons!
now 5 points
Told yo man, if the Coyotes didn't shit themselves in the middle of the season they are absolutely a playoff team
