Five For Howling, a Phoenix Coyotes community

With apologies for the self-promotion, this is my rather lengthy piece on whether or not Dave Tippett was making Bryzgalov look good all those years in Phoenix.

With apologies for the self-promotion, my lengthy piece on whether Dave Tippett is a great coach who also boosts save percentages, or just a great coach.

For those that have been following the series, the Coyotes get some love from yours truly...so far the commenters haven't been tooooo harsh ;)

Travis Hair gives a quick rundown of reasons you could adopt the Coyotes this postseason.

Former Dallas Stars coach Dave Tippett will be on with Norm Hitzges this morning at 10:50am CDT. You can listen in online at www.theticket.com [UPDATED] A quick recount of Tippett's interview in the comments.

I should note that Mike Heika has been trying to get confirmation from the Stars and Tippett and neither side is returning his calls. The official site also doesn't have any news of the firing. But I don't have any reason to doubt TSN. BTW, Marc Crawford's already being rumored as a replacement. And of course, expect a pro-Carbonneau push from nostalgic Stars fans.

"While no successor has been named, sources say the Stars have asked for permission to talk to former Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks coach Marc Crawford. All signs point towards Crawford taking over for Tippet, however that remains unconfirmed at this point."
