Friday night the Yotes put on a hellofa show. Before a pretty decent crowd ( approx 11k ) they took it to the Stars. *I am not an attendance watcher but I love this article about attendance from our friend zyllyx)Running premiere goalie Marty Turco outta his net 2/3s of the way through the second period. The Coyotes had scored 4 by that point (Langer, Korpedo x2 and Aucoin). We told them boys about the slot goals and Uppy certainly agrees “ We were tough in those tough areas, and we got pucks out and battled around the net. That’s where we found our goals.” My baby boy Z would welcome TBA (he’s still tall, bald and Alex Auld to me) home with a ripper in the top of the 3rd period making it 5 (the most offensive output from the boys since we tore the Kings a new one at the beginning of the season). To say the Stars were a bit unhappy is probably an understatement and a half, Winnie had to have a few words with Robidas about gettin too pissy.
With about 15 minutes left in the tilt, we got a little lax, Schlemshady lost one and Dallas was able to capitalize on the error and of course our poor worn out PK couldn’t battle forever and the Stars managed a PP goal too. It would be too little too late for the Stars and the final outcome of 5 – 2 was certainly sweet over our division rival. Ott was losin his little mind all night but got nowhere (he almost earned himself a MamaZ beatdown by going head to head with Z but of course my baby stood his ground without chuckin the knucks) With Biss and Vandy out for the night, I guess Otter figured he could push us around a bit. Doan had a few words with him as did Oakie.
Welcome home Boeds! That assist was perty. May I just say one thing about the reffing of this one? Way to suck major toilet water Zebras! okthnxbai. No matter, we took the W and all is well in the desert. Congratulations to the Korpedo for finally finding his offensive feet!
Mueller? Mueller? Well he’s hurt right now… again. But if that boy don’t light a fire under hisself he may not be a Coyotes much longer. It would be ugly for a guy with his potential to get sent to San Antonio and it would be sad to see him go to another team. Pistol Pete is a good guy but he’s gettin tagged with a very hard to shake lazy tag. You gotta shoot to score Pete. Move your feet and give your best effort, you’ll get rewarded. But most of the time there’s a price to pay called takin a hit to make a play. You need to step up to both ideas and embrace them. People other than me are starting to notice. Better hurry.
Teeks has landed in the Motherland apparently on loan. The KHL is tryin to figure out who he gets to play for. CSKA or his original team the Cherovpets. Apparently the fallout in San Antonio is more than just Ireland. The team has not been playing well to say the least and with Tiki’s offensive production in the toilet, our baby Russian has been ‘loaned’ out to Russia to try to get him back on track. He’s not ‘running away’ he’s done everything official and will set about gettin his poop in a group for a run at the NHL roster next season.
Remember how I was tellin ya’ll about the new local ownership group movin in on the Yotes? Well apparently the Ice Edge Group is feelin the heat a bit and is pushin for an early decision on ownership from the NHL. They are scheduled to meet with Gary and the gang on Monday.
The City of G is still perservering. Ellman ain’t paid his money and they got lots of IOUs from peeps to collect on. I sure hope this whole thing gets resolved soon. My city needs some cash people, pay up!
Hey folks! The Sandstorm sale only runs through Monday so grab those tickets while you can. Get online to Ticketmaster and order up a bunch, you can get any game you want no restrictions! Including those We win, You win games! (a chance to see a hot game cheap and get another one for free!)
We travel to the land of make believe to face the Quacks tonight at 6pm. With Jiggy gettin his first wins finally, I wonder who we will face. The Ducks have a 3 game streak rollin behind the veteran Giguere. He has only allowed 4 goals in his comeback tour de force. With each team taking 1 goal victories from each other, this should be a hell storm.
Facing a rejuvenated Jiggy and a scoring duo like Perry and Selanne will not be an easy task. Adding the ever pissy Getzlaf to the mix will make it a thankless one. These boys are riding high on their brutal spanking of the Blackhawks, especially Jiggy with a beautiful shutout, has to be feelin like God right about now. We have 2 more to add to the will not play list with Muels and Jovo taking various injuries against the Stars on Friday.
We’re back in 8th place in the West and 15th in the league. We really, really need to slap the fowl taste right off the Duck’s backs tonight. (2 points would leapfrog us over OTT and BUF to match points with 10th and 11th place BOS and DAL) Our best bet to snaggin a playoff berth is to hang about in the middle of the league pack and stay relentless.
Keys to this game?
Don’t forget that nasty elbow the Wizzer gave Doaner but don’t be all about the revenge factor. Takin the 2 points and leavin the Quacks in the Pacific cellar will be revenge aplenty. Play hard but play smart buckos. Every time you get wronged, put a goal in the net. There will be plenty of opportunities for PP goals… take advantage of them.
Both teams have been sinners extraordinaire in the eyes of the refs. The Ducks use that to their advantage most of the time. Its about time we do the same. We get no respect nor leeway and we’ll end up in the bin unfairly a time or 5 this game too. The PK HAS to be sharp.
Every game hinges on the goalkeeper as usual. Hang in there Bryzzie! Z is back and your life just got a hell of a lot easier but remember, them other blueliners are still out there so be careful to stay on your toes. This is the ultimate showdown Bryzgalov VS Giguere. You got this maaan!
Its time for some MIA members of the scoring committee to step up their game, especially those who get all that beautiful PP time. Hey Doaner, I see that you have your slapper back, we could really get a kick outta seeing that a few more times per game and Vrby? you been workin so hard for so little lately… this could really be your game my little Czech sniper. Pruuu! No more robberies son, get you some points baby, MamaZ could really use one of your belly slider goals tonight.
Thats all I got for now. BTinAZ has some great pics up from the last few home games go check ‘em out.
As always… GO COYOTES!
