The Columbus Blue Jackets had their season finale against the Carolina Hurricanes, which ended Jeff Rimer's career as an announcer for the team.

However, the eponymous night was overshadowed by a classless action by the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are currently bottom-dwellers in the NHL.

They decided to poke fun at one of the teams who are a drain on the NHL currently, as a Coyotes fan was put on the Nationwide Arena's Megatron.

While it is one of the most trying times for fans of the team, as they prepare to move to Utah, a lot of Coyotes fans are heartbroken and distressed.


Extremely disrespectful.




After being hurt by Alex Meruelo and Gary Bettman, this Coyotes fan was subject to being chirped in-house by those at NWA.

The fan was pictured in their iconic Kachina sweater, while the teams' jumbotron had a graphic for Salt Lake City, which had an arrow heading towards it.

A verifiable low blow for the Coyotes fan in attendance, in a sea of 17K other hockey fans.

While this could be considered just a big joke, that is subjective, but the Coyotes fan is without a team in Arizona next season, which is terrible.

Were the Blue Jackets right to chirp another team's fans? Especially given their track-record post-2019.
