Phoenix Fans Looking Forward To Return Of Playoff Hockey

The Phoenix Coyotes were last in the playoffs in 2002 when they lost in the first round to the San Jose Sharks. Since then, the team and the fan base have gone through many distractions on and off the ice. With the first home playoff game in eight years, comes a great deal of excitement. Our Coyotes site, Five For Howling, captures it:

The fans should have the same attitude. Own OUR arena. Wings fans want to come we’ll take their money, but like I jokingly said before we’re going to be louder. We’re going to want it more. We’re going to own them. We have to. The pressure is all on Detroit. They’re the ones everyone is picking to win. I think we can do this. I KNOW we can do this. and we’re not going to let this damn team ruin anything. Cinderella isn’t done yet. It’s no where close to midnight. In fact It’ll barely be 7 when the real dance starts.

The Coyotes fans deserve to enjoy this moment. The question is whether or not the team can make it memorable.
