the Coyotes have seemed less fiery than seasons past? Not much rough-housing , very few fights, not a whole lot of extremely physical play. I’m all for discipline and execution but I also am all for Doan and Torres lighting a few people up now and again.

Anaheim secretly hired Emilio Estevez to coach them and teach them soft hands and stuff like that and thats why they have been winning as of late

Earlier in the season the Coyotes were a road team winning most of their games on the road. Maybe this shift is a sign that they are going to be a home team, which is good because they have a lot of home games coming up
