Coyote Tracks - Monday March 8 Edition

What a nice weekend.  Coyotes dominate the Ducks on Saturday night to the tune of 4-0.  Ilya Bryzgalov gets his 7th shutout of the season, and 34th win setting a franchise record.  With 16 games left on the schedule for the Coyotes, they sit at 83 points, 10 points ahead of Calgary sitting in 9th position (full standings here).

Then today, Coyotes Carnival was good times.  Got to speak with Dave Tippett for a little and thank him for what he's done with this team.  He, naturally, gave full credit to the team who has he said "has worked really hard."  No doubt they will be pushing hard for these last 16 games and then into the playoffs. 

As we learned on Friday night, Darren Pang (@Panger40) reads the site - Hey Panger!!!; as I learned yesterday so do Dave Strader (@TheVoiceDS) and Bob Heethuis.  Hope we can keep providing coverage of this great team that is worth their support.  Along those lines, we are still tracking the NHL's suit against Jerry Moyes, and hopefully we will track down a copy of the complaint early this week.  You know we'll have it up as soon as possible.

YESTERDAY'S NHL SCORES:  DET 5 - CHI 4; BOS 1 - PIT 2; VAN 4 - NSH 2; CGY 5 - MIN 2; CAR 4 - ATL 0; NJ 0 - EDM 2; TOR 1; PHI 3; BUF 2 - NYR 1 (OT); MTL 4 - ANA 3 (SO)

A lot of folks may have seen the ridiculous story on a website to remain nameless here about the "imminent" move of the Coyotes to Winnipeg.  Needless to say, at the Coyotes Carnival various sources confirmed from GMDM and Doug Moss that this wasn't a bit true...notably, it even would've been news to the Winnipeg Mayor:

Winnipeg mayor denies NHL rumours | Hockey | Sports | Calgary Sun
If the NHL is on its way back to Winnipeg, Mayor Sam Katz says he doesn't know about it.

Even Gintonio is laughing at these folks...

Coyotes see uptick in fan attendance - Phoenix Business Journal:
And why not - this team is looking playoff bound and the crowds keep getting bigger...keep on showing up folks, make this just an entirely moot point!!!

Last, but not least, this is the play of the day yesterday that will be getting the most press.  I think Puck Daddy breaks it down nicely for your perusal...

Coyotes have a few days off until Vancouver comes to town on Wednesday...I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about between now and then...

Some notes from the Carnival

The only players that weren’t there were Wolski, Petteri, Schneider, and strangely enough Robert Lang.

President Moss was actually standing at the entrance greeting people as they came in.

I asked Yandle about his living arrangements with DMo back now and he said ‘Well we’re room mates now!’ and laughed

Everyone was really nice and polite, and Bissy was having a great time with all the little kids trying the hammer slam(does that thing have a name?)

During the newly wed game Coach Tippett said the hardest player he had to coach against was Sean Avery, while they were both on the Stars haha.

Bryz’s and Barb’s line was the longest by far, with everyone wanting a word with the winningest goalie in Coyotes/Jets history, which is understandable.

Sweater-jabs for everyone!

Great notes...

Thanks for the info. We didn’t end up talking to most of the players – talked to Tippett and Sean Burke for a little bit and to Strader and Heethuis as well. Only went to chat with Z and Lepisto among the players…Lepisto said that he’s only rubbing his bronze medal in Z and Bryz’s faces a little bit…

But all the players we saw seemed to be having a really good time, particularly Jovo and Biss working the feat of strength hammer or whatever it is. Yandle always just looks like he is having a ball whatever he is doing. And Labarbara seemed to be having a ton of fun playing air hockey, which cracks me up for some reason.

I know that @Yotesgurl had some great photos and stories up on her site that I might post to tomorrow in the links. I ran into her when she was on the Yandle line and we had a nice laugh…

I’ve gone to a number of team events over the last 3 years and it never ceases to amaze me how friendly and accommodating all the players are. The one exception I ever encountered was Olli Jokinen, who seemed to want nothing to do with the whole situation…but all of the other players are so gracious with their time and it is so much appreciated. From what I’ve read of other teams, it’s generally true across the spectrum with most of the teams, but I just can’t imagine a nicer group of guys…
