  • Coyotes Glendale Challenge

    Coyotes Glendale Challenge

    The math for the Coyotes making the playoffs for the fourth straight year is daunting. The teams above them in the standings continue to either win or be involved in “three point games”, overtime where even the losing team gets a point. The Coyotes have lately been winning games and doing their job, their ultimate…

    April 30, 2013 The Coyotes announced the signing of a new long term deal with General Manager Don Maloney, strengthening the belief that a resolution to the Coyotes playing in Glendale is also near.

    New York Times Not Checking Facts

    The mashup joke slogan for the New York Times “All The News That Fits, We Print” is accurate. There’s no other explanation. Nobody Cares If You Make It Up There was a blog post today from a couple guys (Jeff Z. Klein and Stu Hackel) that are neither prolific nor accurate. Unfortunately, because these two guys publish…

    How To Miss The NHL Playoffs

    Before you get your shorts in a bunch, I don’t think the Coyotes are dead until they’re dead. That said, the math to make the NHL playoffs this year became more challenging after the loss to the Red Wings on Monday, the sixth loss in a row. We didn’t attend this game, after what turned…

    Trolls Are Persistent

    Internet trolls are a persistent bunch. I’ve written about them before (click here and/or here) and have taken to ignoring them as much as possible with all the blocking tools at my disposal. One of them keeps coming back and is unique for a couple reasons. First, she is a female and the overwhelming gender of…

    Coyotes Games In A Resort Destination

    DEF: “chirp” v. To insult a person or group of people in a good or foul natured fashion. One of the favorite chirp subjects leveled against the Phoenix Coyotes is the poor attendance for Coyotes home games. The Coyotes have been swapping the attendance basement with the NY Islanders, in the heavily populated New York…

  • Coyotes Season On The Downhill Run

    Coyotes Season On The Downhill Run

    The end of the lockout shortened season is closing in and the Coyotes aren’t ready. The downhill run to the playoffs is in full swing and the Coyotes will have a shorter season than usual if they don’t pick up the pace right now. While they are only two points out of the playoffs today, the trend…

  • Mandatory Visor Rule? Duh.

    The NHL General Manager’s meeting yesterday (March 20, 2013) included serious discussion of implementing a mandatory visor rule in the NHL. With the recent emphasis on concussion safety in the league, bringing in another rule designed to protect a bunch of expensive melons should be (ahem) a no-brainer. The NHLPA seems to be swinging in the…
