Last night the Phoenix Coyotes shut out the Nashville Predators in Nashville, with the final score 1-0. The Coyotes lead the series 3-1, and they have a very real chance to finish the series on Monday at Jobing.com Arena where they have not lost to the Predators in the post-season. Last nights goal from Shane Doan was the furthest thing from a clean goal, there was definite deflection from a Predators player, but with these two goalies did anyone really expect the goals to be easy? The important thing is that the goal was all the Yotes needed and they split the Nashville trip. This was the second game that the Preds sat Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for curfew violation, although the argument could be made that they were sat because the Predators won a game without them, but expect a plethora of articles later today echoing the sentiment "told you that was a bad idea."
In today's tracks we have the recap of last night's game, some Coyotes news, and news from the hockey world. We also have a link to a podcast where the host predicted the outcome of the game, seemingly out of spite over Barry Trotz decision.
