Phoenix Coyotes

WHO ARE THESE GUYS???
OVER THE WEEKEND THE PHOENIX COYOTES PUT TOGETHER BACK TO BACK SHOOT OUT WINS OVER CHICAGO AND DALLAS…
AS A RESULT…THIS MORNING THESE DESERT DOGS WOKE UP IN FIRST PLACE IN THE PACIFIC DIVISION…
AND IN A TIE FOR FIRST PLACE IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE…
IN ALL…THE COYOTES HAVE NOW WON 9 STRAIGHT…
5 OF WHICH HAVE COME IN SHOOTOUTS…
WHAT IS TRULY AMAZING IS THE FACT THIS TEAM DOES NOT HAVE A SINGLE PLAYER IN THE TOP 50 IN SCORING…
SHANE DOAN LEADS THE COYOTES WITH 52 POINTS…
GOOD ENOUGH FOR 62ND PLACE…
INSTEAD PHOENIX PLAYS A VERY TIGHT DEFENSIVE SYSTEM…AND HAS RECEIVED OUTSTANDING GOALTENDING FROM ILYA BRYZGALOV…
WHO IS NOW TIED WITH MARTIN BRODEUR FOR MOST WINS THIS SEASON…WITH 39…
HOWEVER MUCH OF THE CREDIT HAS TO GO TO HEAD COACH DAVE TIPPETT…
WHO IS A LOCK TO WIN THE JACK ADAMS AWARD…
TIPPETT WAS HIRED ON THE SAME DAY WAYNE GRETZKY RESIGNED…AND HAD ONLY A FEW DAYS TO PREPARE HIS TEAM FOR THE REGULAR SEASON…
BUT WHAT HAS “THE NHL” MOST EXCITED THESE DAYS IS THE FACT…
FANS ARE ACTUALLY BUYING TICKETS…
SATURDAY’S GAME WITH CHICAGO WAS SOLD OUT…
TO THE NHL OWNERS THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER MOST…
THE COYOTES ARE DEAD LAST IN ATTENDANCE THIS SEASON AND ARE EXPECTED TO LOSE AROUND $20 MILLION…
ADD THAT TO THE $140 THE LEAGUE PAID TO BUY THE TEAM LAST FALL…AND THE LEAGUE NOW $160 MILLION INTO THIS DEAL...WITH NO BUYER IN SIGHT…
ALTHOUGH THE LATEST RUMOR HAS THE OWNER OF THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX GERRY REINSDORF BACK IN THE PICTURE…
STAY TUNED!!!
NOW IF YOU’RE THINKING TO YOURSELF…”HEY…I’VE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE”…YOU HAVE…
IT’S CALLED “SLAPSHOT”…
THESE DAYS ALL THAT’S MISSING IN PHOENIX ARE THE HANSEN BROTHERS…
ALTHOUGH RIGHT NOW…IT DOES NOT APPEAR THE COYOTES ARE GOING TO NEED THEM…
