Not exactly sure there was any begging involved. I simply made it known what i wanted, and was assisted along the way. Besides, in the end it had nothing to do with begging, but rather the fortitude to hang on to hope until the last possible minute. If in your eyes this makes me a bad person, then thats your own opnion. I'm sorry you are upset that Atlanta moved. I know there are a lot others like you. But dont trivalize my dedication to this journey by making it about what you lost. Who the F called Ally a bad person?? I'll take him out for you Ally....

I don't support begging and the mentality it perpetuates. I want to smite this guy, but for some reason, all I have is the exalt button... was smite removed?

The smite option was removed I think after one guy complained and cancelled his forum membership after he got one smite. Luckily, the sock puppet you are referring to has already been smited several times and will never have a postive karma! ;D Anyways, just wanted to add my support and congratulations to AllyK. I watched the game at a party at a friend's home, but I'm sure it was nothing like being at the game itself. So glad someone so deserving got to go in the end. AllyK, if you are reading this I have a question: Now that you live in Ohio, are you a diehard Columbus Blue Jackets fan?

Thanks again so much everyone. I'm not sure how anyone can say a bad word about your town after the experience i just had. I had no run ins with a negative person, a rude person or a complainer. Although i had an amazing time seeing the Coyotes/Bruins in Prague last year for NHL openers, i'm pretty sure last weekend takes the award for best hockey trip ever. As for being a die-hard Jackets fan, I'm not sure i'll ever be a die-hard fan of anyone but the Wings, but i will cheer for the Jackets as long as they are not playing the Wings, Leafs, Flames, Jets, or Flyers. Same as i did with the Coyotes for 4 years, only the Jets couldnt be on the list then. Thank God they are now

AllyK, will you constantly tweet pictures of the low attended Columbus games as you did the Yotes? Perhaps showing how a team that HAS had real ownership over the past three years still manages to have gate struggles? Or will the Yotes continue to be your photographic targets even while living in Ohio (as they were with their first preseason game this year)?

You managed to accomplish what over 8K+ local fans (who wanted tickets but couldn't get any) did....your persistence paid off and the fact you got to fly out w/ Don Cherry & Ron McLean is the icing on the cake!! I luv this story!!! You didn't succumb to the temptations of scalpers -- it was due to your sheer determination and patience....awesome, awesome story! ps. please keep uploading those pic's -- especially this Saturday's game!!

Todd, I tweeted pictures from Winnipeg, I will from Phoenix this Sat, and I will from every Jackets game i attend, as I did at the preseason game I went to here. I had some bad experiences with some fans in Phoenix, there is no denying that, and perhaps it did sour me to the team/arena. I dont blame every Coyotes fan I come across, but I wont deny it made the subsequent seasons different. I make no apologizes for that, nor for the fact that I will cheer for my hometown team for life (Go Wings!). I continued to give my money to the organization for the rest of the time I lived in the Valley, and would have continued to, had work not taken me elsewhere. What I choose to do with social media is only my concern. Just as you continue to post here, which could only be called a hostel environment for you, I will continue to provide proof of what I see, regardless of who's ire I may draw. I commend you for coming to talk hockey with fans in Winnipeg, but if you ask them not to attack you for posting what you post, than I ask you not to attack me for doing what i do. JWF, thank you for your kind words. It was quite the adventure

Nice response, except you did not attend the Coyotes preseason game this year. And, no, I am not one of the idiots who treated you poorly. All I know of you is seeing your constant mocking of our attendance troubles by posting your photos of the least populated section of the arena each game.
I don't question your dedication to the Wings. I still root for my Yankees when they come to town, but will back the Dbacks every other game. I don't question your dedication to the great sportof hockey: but to go out of your way to post a photo from a preseason game while you are on the other side of the country does not represent the statement that you post from all games you attend.
I post on this hostel environment because it is fun, and I hope others have fun with me as well. Those who get it enjoy it,and I enjoy their rebuffs. Those who who take it as an attack attack back: oh well. I'm not attacking you, I am responding with sarcasm to your years of offering much fuel for mockery of the Yotes fanbase. You enjoy yourself, and I shall continue to enjoy myself.
Enjoy your return to the desert. We can compare photos on Sunday.
