The Phoenix Coyotes stroll into St. Louis to take on the Blues tonight after downing the Wild 3-2 last night. This is already the third time the two teams have met in this young season. The Coyotes have won both previous games, one 3-2 in OT and the other 2-0 in St. Louis. Maybe this game will actually have a little bit of flow to it unlike the other games. THough if it means Ilya Brygalov gets another SO, i'll take no flow :D
Five for Winning:
Damn Right Bryz Starts: The Coyotes site said they expected him to, but someone better guaran-damn-tee me that Ilya Bryzgalov is going to start for the second night in a row after how Jason LaBarbera played last time. That and Bryz seems to have the Blues number along with making saved he didn't even see coming last night. Be the man Bryzzie!
Upshall be Clutch: Scottie Upshall is leading the team in goals with 7 after last night's tally. No offense to the Carcillo loving people, but right now we're winning that trade. Sorry to say, well not really because Uppy has been awesome but I think you get what I mean.
Defensive Scoring wins games: I don't have all the statistics in front of me right now, but it seems like whenever we get a little bit of input from the defense we end up winning the game. Jim Vandermeer got a goal and Keith Yandle got an assist last night and we won the game. How about we continue that model for the foreseeable future?
Their house is our house: The Blues have been terrible at home this year going 3-8 at home. No idea what the problem is there, but I have zero problem exploiting their issues. 3-9! 3-9!
Score first!: We don't seem to be doing that a whole lot, but when we do, we win 82% of the time. THat's 6th in the league in that awkward statistic. If we let the other team score first? 30% of those become wins. So... Let's score first eh?
GO YOTES!

Go ‘Yotes! I doubt I will be around to chat, but hopefully it’ll be a good game for the good guys.
I agree that Upshall has been very good for the Coyotes, but I don’t think the Flyers have been too upset with the trade on their end as it freed up some cap space and Carcillo has been playing quite well for them (cut down on his unnecessary penalties and playing on a pretty good energy line with Blair Betts and Ian Laperrierre (I have no idea how to spell his name which is why he is referred to as Lappy). With the offensive depth that the Flyers have, Upshall wouldn’t be seeing the same type of first line and powerplay time that he gets here, so the numbers wouldn’t be as pretty. I would say it was more a win-win, maybe slight advantage to the Coyotes because they needed the offense desparately and the Flyers probably could’ve found a Carcillo elsewhere…
World Ph*cking Champs! That was fun - let's do it again...

Third Goal Awarded Phoenix
This rule is seldom used,but nonetheless it is in place. I am a former player/referee,and although I never had the opportunity to award a goal as was seen here,I WAS awarded a goal as a player. It was a good call,and a correct call by the referee. I was also very happy to see it happen to Chris Pronger. Moreso than if it had happened to someone else. This could have been tragic. Maybe even worthy of the Heimlich Manoever? Only Chris Pronger had enough of a space between his teeth to get all of the “F” words out.
“Tee-Hee”lololololololololololololololololololol Muahh-ahh-ahhhhhh!!!!!
