Coyotes-Flames Preview
A much-needed road win boosted the surging Phoenix Coyotes' playoff hopes their last time out. Such results will need to become more common over the next two weeks if they want to find their way into the postseason.
The Coyotes continue a road-heavy closing stretch when they visit the Calgary Flames on Friday night looking to avoid a third straight loss at the Saddledome.

Coyotes 3, Oilers 1

It’s No Longer A Game, Instead It Is An Event
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
Perhaps the NHL has finally reached the level of the NBA in that all the distractions of dancing girls, mascots, contests in that league have been matched by the number of gimmicks at a hockey game. The actual on-ice affair was a sham of entertainment, the only artistry on display coming from the artful officials Kyle Rehman and...
Coyotes 4, Avalanche 0
Mike Smith stopped 24 shots in his return to the Phoenix lineup and earned his fifth shutout of the season as the Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-0 on Saturday night.

John Toperzer: Game Night: Pens travel to MSG, Boyd Gordon on the horizon?
Deadline looks more like one big, waiver-wire transaction list than anything else. Itâs difficult getting excited about Derek Morris, Raffi Torres ⦠the Columbus 1st Round Pick is listed as the 10th-best trade bait on TSN TradeCentre 2013 â and thatâs probably ranked too low on the list (even if it is LAâs pick).
From a Pittsburgh Penguins perspective...
Coyotes May Be Selling
from Craig Morgan of Fox Sports Arizona,
With a loss at Minnesota (Wednesday) or Nashville (Thursday), you can start speculating about the names that won’t be on the roster next week, whether its Boyd Gordon, Raffi Torres, Derek Morris or others.
They have have reached the point where they're either going to save their playoff hopes or bolster somebody else’s...
Coyotes back on ice with excitement, urgency
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. With reporters and cameramen crowded around him in a tight hallway Monday at the Ice Den, the Coyotes' practice facility, Shane Doan was asked just how contentious labor negotiations got between the NHL and the NHL Players Association over the past few months.
"It was actually just a great big kumbaya," Doan said with that familiar, innocent grin...
Favorite Washington Capitals Role Guys
I hold a special place my heart for hockey history. Putting A Roof On Winter is one if my favorite non-fiction books (after The Game, of course) and the Legends Of Hockey Series is on my DVD shelf in the Caps-themed man-cave I call a basement. But the Caps are "My Team", so I hold an even more special place for the Capitals as I have known them, 1984 to the present. I...
Adam French: Grading the Rest: Oh Torres
Since the first two lines are obviously much more important I did them individually. The rest of the bottom-6 was a whirlwind of call-ups and exchanges. The third line was the primary shutdown line this season and was led by the only one constant in the bottom-6, Boyd Gordon. The fourth line is what I like to call the âBustâ line. It might be the single greatest amalgamation...
The morning after: Predators, on the brink of elimination, need fast starts moving forward

Trotz motions to the referees to review the no-goal call late in the third period Friday night.

Predators-Coyotes Game 3 Scoring Chances
There are a lot of people who say that a team isn't in trouble in a series until they lose at home, which would make this Predators-Coyotes series very much alive after the Preds shutout Phoenix 2-0 last night. One thing that I have been saying in the first two games is that this series could go either way because both teams are pretty similar in the sense that they aren'...
Not one, but two blocked shots by Boyd Gordon will have you whincing

Enough of That Nonsense
PHX – 3 DET – 1
Detroit had made quite a home away from home here in Phoenix winning 8 of their last 9 trips to the desert. The Red Wings had also taken the last 7 games overall against their former playoff foes. The Coyotes put a halt to those streaks as they wrapped up their season-long 6 game homestand where it started, against the NHL’s top team.
The Coyotes were coming...

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Coyotes have faced the Red Wings so many times (23) over the past three seasons that they feel like Pacific Division opponents.

Which got us thinking: The NHL should institute a new rule for...
