Who to clap for

When the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes is all said and done, and all the papers are signed, sealed, and delivered all the fans will stand and applaud.

I hope every single hockey fan and person clapping realize who they SHOULD be clapping for.

Applaud the person standing next to you who went went through the same heart-wrenching ups and downs as you did. Applaud for the fan who sits next to you that also spent $5000 on season tickets over the past few years and has invested more time into their team than some parents invest into their children's education. Applaud to the couple who decided to come to their first hockey game because they were at Westgate and found they could get a couple of tickets for under $40. Applaud for the people who have had season tickets since 1996, stuck with the team through everything.

Applaud for the person whose first game was seeing Shane Doan get 2 goals in a game and then hit the goal post TWICE to be denied his first hat trick.

Applaud for the fan whose favorite Coyote moment was seeing Krys Kolanos dismantle a HOF goalie on a penalty shot.

Whoever you clap for, make DAMN sure you know that every fan, went through the exact same thing as you with the ownership saga. They ALSO spent their hard earned money on tickets, survived the Gretzky era, and stuck with the team.
