PrintHey hey...Canucks in town tonight...time to show up folks and keep "the true north strong and free" out of our arena! Seriously, Vancouver travels very well into the valley and we need to counteract these HNIC lovers...Vancouver made a big comeback last night scoring 3 against the Avalanche to win 6-4...this is the final game of Vancouver's LOOOOONG road trip (14 games! - albeit with the Olympics break)...hopefully it was pretty exhausting and the team just wants to get home and the Coyotes can keep those creepy Sedin twins in check tonight...
Speaking of creepy Sedin twins:
As creepy as it is, I do love that commercial...that whole season of NHL commercials were pretty solid, actually...
Anyways...LAST NIGHT'S NHL SCORES: NYI 2 - PHL 3; BOS 3 - TOR 4 (OT); NSH 2 - ATL 1; CGY 4 - DET 2; TB 3 - MTL 5; FLA 3 - MIN 2 (SO); VAN 6 - COL 4; OTT 4 - EDM 1; CLS 5 - ANA 2 (I had the result right...)
After the jump, Moyes to countersue(?), Coyotes potential losses, consistent NHL goalies and more...
Still haven't been able to track down the NHL's complaint against Jerry Moyes, but the caption is now showing up on NY's court system:

NHL sues Phoenix trucking magnate Jerry Moyes
I did find it funny that the Republic just got around to posting a story about the lawsuit yesterday! Good job guys...way to stay on top of things...granted, I think Gintonio might've had a blog posting about it, but still...
Moyes likely to countersue NHL in Coyotes dispute - Phoenix Business Journal:
Not surprisingly, Moyes just doesn't know when to quit...good luck with this idea...
NHL: Coyotes to lose $20M this season - Phoenix Business Journal:
The NHL is estimating that the Coyotes may lose $20M this season - no telling whether this includes playoff revenue projections, revenue sharing money or what. Considering the initial estimate was $5M/month, this seems much better than that...
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett: More players create competition, add depth
Coyotes coach Dave Tippett says it takes more than 20 players for a team to be successful. And in that vein, guys like Tikhonov, Turris, MacLean and Boedker will likely be making appearances in the valley in the near future...
Defenseman Mathieu Schneider ready to help Coyotes
I'm not sure that Schneider has much to offer the Coyotes, but he is a veteran presence, a powerplay specialist and a nice insurance policy in case someone gets hurt on the blue line.
How Consistent Are NHL Goalies? | Blog Archive | Hockey or Die | Blogs | TheScore.com
This is an interesting little article about how goalies perform on a game-by-game basis...Bryz has been a bit better than the average in terms of consistency. Considering how good he has been consistently for the Coyotes, this is a very, very good thing...
Travis will check in with the game preview and gamethread later in the day and whatever other news comes out. Have at it in the comments until then!

Wish I could
But I have school tommorrow, and alot of hw to do. Would love nothing more than to show up and show those Canucks what a real hockey fan is like. However I will be going to the Blackhawks game and Avs game later in the month. Hopefully get to go to the last two as well, but gotta save my money for playoff ticket pack.
There are two coyotes inside every fan, a good one and a bad one, so which coyote do you feed?
Just got an email about playoff ticket strips being available (i.e., you can buy tickets for each round).

Hey guys
Just made a 5-3 prediction for Canucks over at Nucks Misconduct. Just thought I’d get your input.
Plus, any chance of seeing Barbie start against us tonight.? Get the old grudge match against the old team thing going again?
Doubt it.
We haven’t played since Saturday. No reason to Play barbie again.

Hahah that Sedin comment proved their humanity to me. At that time, you barely saw them show any emotion.

Wait...

They move the corners of their mouths after scoring now. ’tis an improvement.

5 years at 82 games per season = 410 games; I generally watch 4 Vancouver games against the Coyotes, 1 against the Flyers and maybe the random 2-3 more during the season…at this rate I will be used to the Sedins in approximately 60 seasons….

Always been a Fler’s fan since the Broad Street days. Clarke and Holmgren have always found a way to make it an excercise in futility though.
Yeah, it seems like the same issues crop up every year (goaltending, cap)…if Leighton continues to play this way though, the team has been playing real nice since they adapted to Laviolette’s system.

Between Emery at the beginning and Leighton at the end, it’s been good. Still anxiety producing though.
can’t cheer for Philly sports without a bit of anxiety.

The only real questions I have for tonight's game...
Will Patrick Lauder be around to sing national anthems? And if so, will he once again try to impress us by singing at least part of O Canada in French?
Support Coyotes Hockey - Five For Howling
(Oh, and go Philly teams as well!)
Was it any good? His French, I mean.

I have no idea...
Don’t speak French. It sounded nice, if that means anything…

a pool for French singing…not that I’m aware of…maybe Travis can make it a poll question for the Gameday Preview. Unfortunately Patrick Lauder (our “official anthem singer”) has only sung the anthem at about 10 games this season…we’ve been treated to some fairly awful crap overall…

I ran into Patrick and his wife in the concourse at the Ducks game on the 6th, and I told him I was glad that they were still announcing him as the team’s official anthem singer, because he hasn’t been singing at many games this season. He said that the Coyotes are selling the rights to choose an anthem singer to groups that buy at least 100 tickets to a game, and that with ticket prices discounted and the team playing this well, it’s been pretty easy to sell 100 tickets to most games. Apparently most of the crappy singers we’ve been hearing this season haven’t been selected by the Coyotes, but by whichever company or organization has bought 100 tickets to that game.

No.... THat's strange. I only got rid of that one comment. :(
Stupid thing. Sorry if it did. Lemme see what happened.

Congrats on a great season thus far and the rest of the way (except for tonight obviously). Enjoy the game.
Thanks!
You too and same. And except for in the playoffs.

Oh yeah....
One other thing…screw TSN and their insistence that to nationally televise tonight’s game it won’t start until 8 PM…I get up waaaay too early in the morning to be leaving the game at 10:30 or later…I moved off the east coast for a reason people!

Probably not.
But I like to dream. It’ll be closer than that, but if we play like we did against the Ducks… It’ll be good for us.

if you’re up 5-0 against the canucks, you don’t want to miss the 3rd period. 10 of our 41 wins this season are 3rd-period comebacks.

GO CANUCKS GO!
And my collection is now complete...
Just got my last two coyotes bobblheads in the mail today and now I have them all. muah hahahahahaha
There are two coyotes inside every fan, a good one and a bad one, so which coyote do you feed?
I'm still missing a couple.
Derek Morris and I think Jovo.

You need the Stempniak bobblehead
It’s head doesn’t bobble, it just curls into the fetal position because it used to be a Leaf.
Should be OK bynext season after the nightmares go away.
He actually looks better already
Scored one goal has been playing hard.

Stepniak
I think is gonna be a good thing for our team. Already he has showed some good things along with Wolski. Those two guys just needed a change of scenery and some good coaching from a 1st class guy like Tippet.
