Five for Howling - Now Open for Business

Greetings and Welcome to your new home for Phoenix Coyotes news here on SBNation. I'm OdinMercer and I’ll be your host here. I hope that you'll find my posts and ramblings informative and amusing. As there's a real lack of Coyotes news to be had, we barely even have a beat writer that covers the team, and as nearly all the news is given out by the team, I'm looking to fill the void that I know all of SBNation has been hurting from, by having Breaking Coyotes news! I hope to be able to write many an informative post about the Coyotes so that everyone can learn a little something about "That team in the desert." That doesn't mean that you'll just get stats and news! No! You'll also get amazing (and funny) photoshops and movies about the Coyotes and maybe even some other teams here and there.
If you're new to SBN, take some time to look around the page and check out the awesome features that SBN has put into all of the NHL blogs here. The schedules, rosters, standings and stats of the team are pretty much all here so there's barely a reason to go anywhere else. Have a story that you'd like to write about that you don't see covered? That's great! Take a look at the FanPosts feature and add your own story comparing Jeremy Roenick to a bag of rocks if you like, or breaking down your favorite stats. Got some great picture, video or quote that you just want to share quickly? That’s what the FanShots feature is for. You can upload video, pictures, short blurbs or audio files that you find interesting and have everyone talk about them. If you write or find anything that I find especially awesome you could find yourself on the front page! Here's a more in-depth guide on how to use these features from Bleed Cubbie Blue, the Cubs blog on SBN.
If you’ve been around SBNation for a while, I hope you’ll join Five for Howling as well and comment and be part of our community. Even if you are a fan of some other less cool team…
Comments, suggestions, concerns and complaints are more than welcome. Feel free to email me with your praise or wishes. Complaints however should be filled out in triplicate and sent to:

You should really try it some time. You can drink on the patio (without freezing) and then go to a hockey game while it’s 75F out. It’s sweet. Greatest game + sweet weather.
i like my perch...
here in CA thanks. closer to the ocean, less like living on the surface of the sun…

Coyotes Hockey...takin over the NHL, one blog at a time!
Go Odie! Go Odie!! P6P and coyoteshipcheck representin!!! YO!
Yes, Ice DOES belong in the Desert!
& we’re out to prove it. Greetings & salutations from The Ice Hockey Diva. I look forward being a part of this site. GO COYOTES!
tuesday vs kings
in other news, the swedish wolf is ticketed to start against the kings tuesday night…maybe TGO does not have a total case of cranio-rectumitis
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
That's good news!
Don’t need more Bryz softies. Let Telly play untilBryz gets his head back in the game.
Welcome, Odin…you trumped me!
Good to see some quality representation from Phoenix. Just too bad you guys don’t have a reliable, high-scoring center to see you into the post-season…D’oh!
Looking forward to reading the blog daily. And I can’t thank you enough for Ballard and Boynton…personally I believe that deal worked out phenomenally well for both of us. Sorry to hear about Joks anmd the injury…he’ll be leading the Yotes for many years to come.
I certainly hope so!
I was bummed about Olli the Alien going down. He hasn’t got all the Goals yet, but was getting Assists left and right and making things happen. He should be back soon though. Keeping my fingers crossed.
As for Bally And Boynton, there were plenty of fans that were majorly bummed about them leaving, especially Ballard. Even though we knew we were getting a quality guy in Olli, Ballard was a fan favorite and an awesome shutdown Dman. Couldn’t believe the deal they gave him though, that was huge!
Wait a sec..
What do you have against restaurants in historic buildings in the Jaw? BTW, it’s Athabasca, no k. Know your Cree!
Good to finally see some Jets coverage…. wait a second, Phoenix? Huh?
Congrats.
Hockey blogging can't get any flatter.
Welcome!
Glad to have all the local teams together on SB
It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.

Greetings from the AZ SnakePit
Seeing as the Coyotes are my second-favorite Arizona team, figured I should pop over and say hello. :-) Be really nice if all four Phoenix teams experienced the playoffs in 2009, though Bryzgalov needs to get his act together if that’s going to happen!
Expect a formal plug on the ’Pit in due course!
Cheers,
Jim

Congrats and good start!
Congrats on the new blog Odie!! Good luck and keep up the good work, look forward to reading your insights. :)
howdy
wo4bb, good to see you here
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
Good times
Nice to see a Coyotes blog open on SBNation. I used to watch hockey religiously in the 90’s, following the Sabres. I’ve been trying to pay attention the Coyotes, though, this season so it’ll be nice to have a site to help me along.
You keep on rowin', and I'll keep on smilin'.
Odie say what?
Horay for the site being up! Looks to be fun times. :-)
Go Yotes!
P.S. Shinanigans.

Not a hockey fan, personally,
but wanted to send along my best wishes, as an Arizonan.

odie, looks like the site’s off to a good start. “fetivicating” sounds vaguely like it should be dirty…but i like it
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
festivicating = joyous celebration without disturbifying. This is very important.

sa rampage
on another note, the rampage are 2-20-1, with a cumulative 200 +. J-Lov is, however , only a -3 after 14 games…enough to get him a callup? with the team so sucky they might keep him just to give them some help…but its an awful start. maybe murray back there may help… brett maclean is 7-7-14 and a +2, only rampage player with a +. guess we can’t hope for much help from the farm if injuries pile up
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
JLov
Is just showing that he’s better than the others. But the only way he gets called up is if one of our DMen go down.
Welcome, Odin!
Always good to see another SBN blog from the Western Conference…in all honesty, I’m not a big ‘Yotes fan, but I love the Great One, and you’ll do until the St. Louis Blues blog is up and running!!!
Seriously, though, best of luck to you!
That's only because
We though Tkachuk was all washed up. And we call him names. I’m sure you could warm up to us if you tried… :-)
Awesome
Great to see the Yotes getting some attention around here. Look forward to reading more from you Odin!
Thanks!
I’m glad they’re getting more attention too. Now if I could just get everyone else to be more positive about our chances…
chances???
we would all be more optimistic about our chances if TGO would provide a little stability with his line combos and would have ridden the hot goalie
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
Welcome!
It’s great to have you on board SBN!
I’ll be keeping my eye on this blog for any Kevin Porter-related news. I intern in the U-M athletic media relations department, specifically hockey, and he’s a recent alum that I’ll be rooting for!
Porter
Has been great so far. He netted a few goals, mostly by camping in front of the net and creating chances off of rebounds. The other thing I like about him is that while we’re a young young team that makes mistakes, not once have I shouted his name in frustration for a rookie mistake.
Also thanks for the welcome!

I’m a Coyotes fan from NYC.
This is cool, not many NHL blogs on SB Nation, but yet they have one for our boys.
