Ray Whitney is getting tired of the instability with the Phoenix Coyotes' ownership situation.
Whitney believes the Coyotes were at a competitive disadvantage in the Stanley Cup playoffs in comparison to other teams because the club does not have an ownership group to defend them.
"I don't want to go through another year and be a doormat in the league where you don't have ownership and people to stand up for you," Whitney told Sarah McLellan of Azcentral.com.
The Coyotes were frustrated with the officiating in their series loss to the Los Angeles Kings and the Western Conference final.
"It's tough for our management. It's tough for our coaching staff, and eventually it runs down. It's tough for players," Whitney said. "I didn't feel like we had the same competitive edge as everyone else.
"Who are we going to complain to? Our owner gave the trophy out to the other team."
The Coyotes have made the playoffs in three consecutive season and they were able to reach the Western Conference final this season despite working with several limitations in their organization.
"Everyone has a tough schedule at times, but I felt the length of tough scheduling we had was not great," Whitney explained. "Then I thought in the playoffs if you have an owner that's not going to stand up for some of that reffing that you saw and stuff like that, it wears on you as a player."
