March 15, 2013 After riding an unprecedented and spectacular three game point streak, Coyotes enforcer Paul Bissonnette seems to be back to his role as a healthy scratch. Biz (Bis?) is more famous for his @BizNasty2point0 400,000+ follower Twitter account than his work on the ice which, to my untrained hockey eye, showed marked improvement this season.…

Skeete’s Swan Song
—
March 7, 2013 The clock is ticking down, apparently, on Glendale’s Acting City Manager Horatio Skeete. Skeete was the subject of a special meeting a couple days ago.

You have Google, check out the band it’s an interesting story and not a bad song. Said song is running through my head this…

February 25, 2013 All is quiet in Glendale as the Coyotes continue their slide through western Canada. Last year at this time, there was a potential buyer on the horizon and the Coyotes swept through the western Canadian teams like Sherman through Georgia. This year, that potential buyer has failed in his initial attempt to…

Trade Yandle? Nah.
—
February 22, 2013 Our house is a Yandle house. Trading Keith Yandle (All-Star defenseman for the Phoenix Coyotes) isn’t something we’re fans of around here. That said, I understand the trade chatter that has been surrounding Yands since before he signed his “big” contract. The Yandle “chip” is great trade bait for some scoring firepower…
