The Arizona Coyotes took a shot at the NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman before the grand finale in the Mullett Arena.

After years of relocation rumors, the Coyotes are set to play their last game in Arizona tomorrow, as they face the Edmonton Oilers.

Yesterday, a post on X went viral, in which we see an anonymous message to Gary Bettman: an insult from Monty Python.

Watch it here:


"Gary Bettman's mother was a hamster, and his father smelt of elderberries. AZ Coyotes forever!"

Many people criticized Bettman for bailing on the Coyotes' fans as soon as another inverstors group came in with an envelope full of cash.

"Commissioner Bettman strung along the fans, saying he supported Meruelo's bid for the land auction, and then dropped us when a bag of cash showed up. Also, have y'all heard of Monty Python?"


However, Bettman has been one of the most faithful defenders of the Coyotes in recent years. If it hadn't been for him, the organization would've left Arizona a long time ago.

"You do realize the team could've been relocated already Gary is the only reason it lasted this long if Gary had his way coyotes wouldn't be leaving."
