Oh the drama, the intrigue, the incredible mess. I wasn’t going to talk about this. I really wasn’t but a “mystery” buyer into the now infamous Phoenix Coyote saga? I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. “Mystery Buyer?” Could it be Reinsdorf in Chicago with a billion dollars? Is it a bunch of hockey fans/”businessmen” in [...]
Your team is out of the race, the Stanley Cup has been won, the draft is over, you’ve mourned your player losses (good luck Z) and the ice is covered with floorboards for the next few months.
What do you do now?
Plan for the preseason of course! For me this involves a few key items.
Mining [...]
After 1 year (yes, it has been over a year) of uncertainty for Phoenix Coyote fans and with a black cloud of bankruptcy and financial turmoil that even 50 wins, over 100 points and a playoff run couldn’t squash, it’s time for a little rejoicing. Although it seemed with the bankruptcy and potential owners [...]
As I have resurfaced from my depressed stupor over our game 7 loss against the Detroit Red Wings, I wanted to say “thank you” to The Phoenix Coyotes.
Thank you…for the inspirational never-say-die attitude that shocked the critics and “make it eight” Canadians and got us into the playoffs.
Thank you…Dave Tippett for taking on the [...]
Bless me Lord Stanley for I have sinned…on the eve of the 7th game of the first round of Stanley Cup Playoffs between my Phoenix Coyotes and The Detroit Red Wings I, as a playoff newbie do solemnly confess the following:
I take back every snarky comment I ever made about a sports fan [...]
In honor of the Coyotes first playoff series in 8 years, I have compiled a Puck-et, as opposed to bucket, list of things I’d like to see accomplished during the playoffs.
* Be the dragon slayers and defeat the Detroit Red Wings in the first round. As this piece is written, the Yotes lead the [...]
In honor of the Phoenix Coyotes returning to the playoffs for the first time in 8 years, last night’s win against Detroit and the Coyotes Charities Beard-a-Thon, I am reaching out to the lady Coyotes fans on the subject of playoff beards.
The playoff beard is a long standing albeit sexist tradition, where hockey fans [...]
A week ago the Phoenix Coyotes clinched their playoff spot by annihilating the Colorado Avalanche. So euphoric I was that I got writers block. Could it be the awesome scoring power of Lee Stempniak, Wojtek Wolski, Radim Vrbata and Matthew Lombardi? Or the defensive moves AND scoring power of Keith Yandle and Adrian Aucoin? [...]
In light of the recent news stories surrounding the Ice Edge Group purchasing the Phoenix Coyotes, I have to wonder if this transaction is like a bad relationship. Some red flags to consider:
1) They are Canadian.
And we all know that long distance relationships do not work, have you wondering what they are doing on the [...]
In their 9th straight win, Adrian Aucoin, or “the closer” as he is now being called, won yet another shootout for the Phoenix Coyotes today. What is that #5 for the shootout king?? Even Dave Tippett couldn’t hide his smile as he walked from the bench in Dallas. Not even getting into Dallas [...]
