No Shane Moan tonight? Damn, we will miss all the fun of him melting down like he usually does against the Kings. Oh well, we can still watch Mike Smith self-destruct.

Ribero is a guy to watch for sure. He always plays good against the Kings.

Korpikoski out, Doan potentially in. Could see Phoenix skate with seven D.

They should just try Rundblad at Forward since he cant play defense.

Matt Berry is crapping his pants right now with King scoring a goal.

That's not saying much.
I figured I'd jinx Smitty by making that comment.

LOL. Nolan scoring really stings I bet.

I wanna see Nolan go at it with Bissonnette

Good thing that Smith can score goals cause he sure can't stop them. He looks like the Human Sieve. Admittedly, his defense isn't giving him much help.

I'll bet its not far away. Coyotes are sleepwalking out there.

At this point its prolly smart for Nolan to walk away and draw a penalty. We're going pretty good right now. Might happen if the Kings lose theyre legs in the 2nd or 3rd. Id still like to see it though.

Your boys seem to be picking it up now.

Miller just said the Yotes havent had a shot in 6 minutes. Doan clearly got a slap shot on Quick not even two minutes ago.

Can we save some goals for the next few games?

Kings are doing a good job of staying up on the Coyotes D in the defensive zone. That's the bread and butter of the Coyotes offense, shooting from the point .

Just curious.....was Smith's goal a empty netter? Id guess 99.9 % was but if not I gotta Google/YouTube it.

C'mon boys, keep you foot on the gas pedal!

Yes. As about every goalies goal is. An empty netter. None the less. Still a really cool thing to do. Only 11 goalies have done it.

Yes, it was an empty netter, crease to crease.
