The Coyotes are winning with a run-and-gun style that's a big change from the cautious defensive

Prefer the run and gun opposition, Luongo seems better with more action.

Go Nucks

it will be like a home game in the desert like always. Hoping for a strong start to a tough road trip. Burrows always plays well in Phoenix. Hope he tallies his first of the season tonight. Higgins/Burrows/Santo was the best line the other night against the Laughs. As long as we keep the shots to the outside and play strong in our own end, we should be in good shape.

Del Zotto to Vancouver is not happening, EK is shooting blanks. I will sign up for a Hockeybuzz 10 year season pass if it does. Challenge is on!

Most certainly. At the very least troll fodder.

Congrats to the C's indeed. A tremendous honor.

Waits for Adam French to troll in 3........2.......1.......

At least we'll have home ice advantage for these.

True.

Looking forward to seeing how the team does against the other better Western Conference teams. Other than San Jose, who we played very early in the season under new coaches and systems, we've not played any important games against the likes of Anaheim, Minnesota, LA, or Phoenix.

Hahaha. Good luck with that! Hasn't been the case at all this season.

It will also show what kind of "Grit" the team has after Gillis's "Re-set".

Hahaha. Good luck with that! Hasn't been the case at all this season.

Even with my 85k a year salary. I could probably afford a luxury box all year in Phoenix. I sure hope the new owners aren't banking on profits year after year. On the flip side, maybe this is their big tax write off.

I think I read that if they lose more than 50 million in the next five years the new owner's can opt out of their lease agreement and move the team.

I'm not even sure MDZ makes our top 6. Wasn't he chronically benched by Torts last season?

Poor rumor on a site built on poor rumors.

SJ and LA will be solid benchmarkers. ANA will also be interesting since we always seem to struggle against them for no reason I can identify.

Remember - he's just reporting what others are telling him...he's the middle man.

It's hard to put in an effort against a sweet little "duck".

Hilarious to see Perry getting dumped into the Rags bench twice on the same shift last night.
