Female Coyote Fans..What’s Your Playoff Beard?

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 [...]

Have I Mentioned That The Phoenix Coyotes Are In The Playoffs?

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? [...]

Phoenix Coyotes: Is Ice Edge Holdings Like a Bad Boyfriend?

And although it was a roadtrip with the Coyotes, it wasn’t WITH [...]

Puckgal On-The-Road: Arena Tour Stop 1

Ones to watch are the dynamic defensive duo of Adrian Aucoin and Keith [...]

Roadtripping With The Phoenix Coyotes

It’s only 4 days till my roadtrip with the Coyotes. Having only seen my guys in their natural habitat of Jobing.com arena, it will be a thrill to experience their play elsewhere. Friday, February 12th marks my entry into Colorado Avalanche territory.
 
Pepsi Center as it is known in Denver (not THE Pepsi Center as I [...]
