Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

Coyotes Tracks - January 21, 2012 - Another Chance At Redemption

Coming off back to back loses and a day to rest up the Phoenix Coyotes will be taking on the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight. The Yotes have definitely been doing better on home ice than they had earlier in the season, check back later for pregame coverage and of course the game day thread. For the other side of the coin you can always swing over to Raw Charge and get the perspective from Tampa Bay.

Also I encourage anyone who doesn't to listen to this week's Puck Podcast. Its a great place to get news from around the NHL and this should be my first week as a fan correspondent, I'll be pimping The Coyotes and this site. The podcast will be available after this gets posted, I'll post a link in the comments below.

I wish the two events started more than an hour apart. I would be at both then.

I find it funny that the ticket page has a line in bold “Vuvuzelas are prohibited at this event.”
