Coyote Tracks - September 28, 2010 - Links Now, Flames Later

There's a lot going on today with a game against the Flames in Calgary tonight. I'll be posting the season preview for all to see later today as well so there's that to look forward to. The battles will be getting intense now especially on defense and at the Center spot so both these upcoming games are going to be important for guys but none more so than Kyle Turris, Mikkel Boedker and Viktor Tikhonov. It sounds as though some veteran guys might not be pulling their weight though and allowing some of the youngesters to sneak in... with that, to the links.
