Shane Doan may be the best player, playing in this years playoffs, that nobody is talking about. In two games, nobody has made their mark like he has. After 9 hits in the first game, including many bone-crushers, he continued that pace in game 2, but this time added a goal and an assist. There [...]
One part of me thinks that living in a hockey market like Phoenix, is a little sad sometimes, but at least there is hockey at all. I grew up in Edmonton and enjoyed the Oiler’s as a youngster in the 80’s, so maybe I was spoiled. The other part of me is happy that I [...]
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 [...]
Oh yes, the circus is back in town. The financial woes of the Phoenix Coyotes have once again reared their ugly heads. After hearing virtually nothing for the last few months, news reports surface that question the validity of Ice Edge Holdings group’s intentions. After signing a letter of intent back in December, it [...]
I’m baaaaack. Apparently the excitement of my first hockey roadtrip and the Winter Olympics (hold your heads high USA) gave me a case of writer’s block. But I’ve returned so enjoy my first stop of the arena tour. Phoenix Coyotes and the Colorado Avalanche.
And although it was a roadtrip with the Coyotes, it wasn’t WITH [...]
My tour around the NHL arenas starts today with a visit to Pepsi Center in Colorado, home of the Avalanche. Since we are streaking again with 2 wins this week against the Edmonton Oilers and the Minnesota Wild, I expect a good show.
Ones to watch are the dynamic defensive duo of Adrian Aucoin and Keith [...]
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 [...]
