2013 Phoenix Coyotes Ongoing Thread

Might as well just start it up... talk about all the games, rumors, news or trades on here folks!

Go Yotes!

My boy vermette just had a goal( empty netter, I know) and an assist. I absolutely love how this guy plays! I knew he was a perfect fit for this team as soon as we made the trade. The last two games were ugly but we beat, and outplayed, a quality opponent in Detroit red wings. Onto illydelphia!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

2-2. I still don't know what to think of this team. 2 games where we looked like a legit contender and two games of shitting the bed.

 

[Jonas_steven]

I would really like to have that islanders game back because they are not as good as we made them look. We play the hurricanes on Sunday. We would have a nice road trip at 3-2 and be 4-2 entering a brief homestand. I will see you all out at the game on Tuesday. Geaux desert dogs!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I just got tickets to the next 3 home games... lessssgo!

Winning roadtrip boys

 

[Jonas_steven]

4-2 on this road trip! The team really responded to doaners call out and rattled off four straight victories. Smitty still seems a little uneasy in net but the offense has made tremendous strides over the past several games. If they continue to score, Smitty should not have to worry as much about being mr. Perfect between the pipes. I hope we can continue this momentum. Geaux desert dogs!

Our penalty kill situation has been the bomb this season. We were terrible over the first two games but after the callout, the defense has been lights out! While we did give up a power play goal last game, we had killed 17 straight pps! This includes a 5 on 3 situation for over a a minutes and a half! That is impressive!

 

[nogicat]

senators struggle defensively it would be really nice to win this one too.
GO YOTES!!

 

[The Derski]

Just noticed the Yotes beat the Wings in Detroit a couple days ago. 4-2 record so far. Nice.

 

[Jonas_steven]

That was a disheartening loss! At least we got a point! Our next two games are huge and will be good measuring sticks as to see how the yotes will bounce back. Geaux desert dogs!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Come on yotes! It is incomprehensible that the dogs can only score three goals on lagarbage! Let's take this game in the third!

Good game so far in Phoenix - got to give the Oilers some credit for sticking in this game - that being said the Coyotes should be able to win

That game was way closer than it should have been. Glad the Coyotes were able to pull out the win.

great start to the season

 

[Jonas_steven]

November is going to be a rough month! We play all but maybe two teams that have a chance to make the playoffs. Many of these games are within the division which makes them even more critical to win. If we can walk away with 15 points, I would be more than happy. If we can get 20+ points, we would be sitting pretty for a much more mild December schedule. Get it done, yotes!

This team continues to roll

They still don't have that 40+ goal scoring star on the team, but what they don't have there they make up for in one of the best roster depth this team has ever seen

and Oliver Ekman-Larsson is a beast. on pace for 17 goals and 49 assists.

it will all come down again to Mike Smith, but clearly this team is better than the one wthat went to the West Finals 2 years ago. This just might be the next Phoenix area team to reach a championship series

I totally agree with you! This team is playing some special hockey right now! I hope phoenix sports fans are taking notice! The attendance has been great and the energy in the arena is through the roof on a nightly basis!

 

[Jonas_steven]

I know it sucks to have finished november with a 1-3-1 streak but this month was actually a success! I said at the beginning that March and November would be the months that determine how far this team can go. We finished the month with 14 points which was just one shy of the goal I had placed for November. Unfortunately, after seeing how we played this month, we could have easily been closer to 20. This is a fun and exciting team to watch but they are definitely not leaving it all out on the ice. The defense is leaving something to be desired. If this team could stop giving up early goals to good teams, we could see the coyotes take it to the next level. Bring on December!

 

[BPNAZ]

Mike Smith is killing this team. And if im Coyotes I might want to start looking at some other options

Now, I understand the defense has been shaky, but still. Keep waiting for that Mike Smith to come back that helped Coyotes to the WCF 2 years ago, and maybe its not gonna happen
