May 31, 2013 Here we are at the last day of May and a deal for the Coyotes has yet to be consummated. What’s the rush? It’s spelled T-I-P-P-E-T-T. Despite Don Maloney extending his contract with the team, my guess (based on published actual words from actual knowledgeable mouths) is that Coach wants stronger assurances…

Hey Dan, it’s me again… You must be aware there are essentially two schools of thought about dealing with objectionable statements. One is to ignore them, the rationale being to give them any thought or time is to give them power. It makes sense. The second is to voice one’s objections to the statements and, perhaps, offer an…

My personal and professional admiration for Shane Doan is unshaken, he’s a legit role model in this house. I’m not alone in this opinion, according to NHL.com, Shane is one of the top ten NHL Captains in the history of the league.

If you’d like to read the RFP, it’s not too long or complex (it even has pictures for the…

I know the name of the arena in Glendale is Jobing.com arena, but it’s owned for the time being by the City of Glendale. Calendar Watching The last regular season game scheduled for the Coyotes is April 27. The club is scratching and clawing to make the playoffs and just might manage it. That said,…

Here we are again with an obvious non-call on the ice and no hearing with the NHL for a “star” player. This time it’s repeat offender Edmonton Oilers designated punk Taylor Hall maliciously slashing a Coyote hard enough to knock him down. This came after Hall slashed Radim Vrbata on the wrist hard enough to…

Punxsutawney Phil has a pressure filled job; lots of people believe him, lots of people don’t believe him, others use his predictions and twist them to meet their own agenda, people often call him a glorified rat and he has cameras and mics jammed in his face every time he pops his head above ground. Phil, meet Gary. Groundhog Day In…
