Well, I don't know if it's available at the Den, but I'd be willing to purchase an O'Fiddler t-shirt after another solid performance from the second line center. Vernon Fiddler had a goal (off a beautiful feed from Lee Stempniak), got hit in the back of the neck with a clearing pass that might've damaged his helmet, and just played solid all over the ice as the Coyotes won their 6th straight win to move to 43 wins (tied for the franchise record with 12 games to play!).
The Lightning made it close, and Steve Downie was being his usual pest (narrowly avoiding getting his butt whooped by Ed Jovanovski on two occasions). But overall, the Coyotes just outworked the Lightning and got this road trip started off to a 3-0 start with one final game to go in Florida on Thursday night. Following that the Coyotes come back for a single game against the Blackhawks (that is already sold out, with only SRO tickets remaining!) before going back on the road. The Coyotes magic number keeps on dropping; keep jumping on board folks - we've got a big wagon hitched up around back...

COYOTES FANS TO CHOOSE WINNER OF TEAM'S HARDEST WORKING PLAYER AWARD - Phoenix Coyotes - News
Last season's winner was Z and there are plenty of solid choices nominated for this season. My personal choice is likely Vernon Fiddler who has been exactly what this team has needed all sesason, a responsible defensive player, a penalty killer and someone that scores the occasional big goal...

Looking at the rest of the season and the possibilities as they relate to the playoff scenarios. They are not bullish on the Coyotes - I think they'll be proven wrong.

Yes, I am the Jordan E. that submitted the Coyotes jersey foul...rereading my comments, I feel like a bit of a jerk...but it was in the name of humor...

This is just hysterical...as a Flyers fan as well as a Coytoes fan, it is a bit depressing how the goaltending continues to derail their playoff runs...but this made me laugh, a lot.

A great quote from the Puck Daddy interview with Doan – really shows the ‘pack mentality’ of this team
Two of the guys brought in at the trade deadline, Wojtek Wolski(notes) and Lee Stempniak(notes), have played well since joining the team. Is there something in the water down there that players show up in Phoenix and contribute right away?
You know, Lee’s one of those guys in the League that everyone knows what he’s capable of. He said he didn’t have the success that he wanted to in Toronto, but so far here, it’s been great. We’re riding him as far as we can and that’s the thing with our team; we don’t have any high-end superstars, but we’ve got a lot of guys that can play the game and we count on everybody. And Lee’s going, so we’re relying on him and counting on him.
If he happens to cool off, then someone like Matthew Lombardi(notes) will step up and we’ll ride him and that’s the thing that’s been happening with us all year. Lombo was unbelievably hot in February and other guys were hot in January and we just keep going.
