Red Wings Win in Another Shootout Against Coyotes 3-2
Once again, the Detroit Red Wings and Phoenix Coyotes were tied at 2-2 and had to go to another shootout.

Bark at the Moon- Phoenix Coyotes 2011-12 Season Preview
Greetings and salutations to both desert dwellers and Coyotes enthusiasts from all corners of the cosmos. Put away the Coppertone, turn off the coolant system, and conceal your eyes from the palm trees. No matter what the temperature outside reads, the pond’s just about frozen solid, and it’s time to drop the puck on another [...]
Coyotes Want It More, Defeat the Predators 3-2
There are all kinds of statistical measurements in a hockey game: goals against; PK percentage; Corsi; and others. One measure that is not quantified is “want to”, how bad do you want to win a tough game. The Nashville Predators were lacking in “want to” for two periods, and it cost them in a 3-2 [...]

Game 43 review – At least it’s a point
The loser point might not be what the Oilers wanted when they worked so hard to tie it up but when a team has just two points in their last ten games I’d be willing to bet that they’ll take points wherever they can find them.
Team Canada 2010 – My Picks
As I mentioned earlier this year when I made my pre-season picks, the Canadian Olympic Hockey Team has never been under more pressure to perform. By the same logic, the pressure has never been greater for management to pick the appropriate team to take Canada to Olympic glory in Vancouver. Steve Yzerman, Mike Babcock and [...]

A Phoenix Coyotes Holiday Wish List
With the holiday roster freeze coming into play Friday, I figure now is as good a time as ever for us to gather around the fire and sort out a wish list for Jolly old Saint Nick to bring the Coyotes for the upcoming New Year. Obviously the ‘Yotes are performing well above expectations thus [...]
Desert Bound B’s: Bruins vs. Coyotes Preview
