James Tanner: Coyotes Recall Nick Merkley + Tocchet OverWhelmed + Chychrun's Bad Game Been really digging Joshua Tree lately!

The special teams time doesn't partially explain it, it fully explains it. Look at the match up ice time.

If you're a good enough athlete to make it to the NHL, then the biology behind fatigue no longer applies to you. Every NHL player should be able to skate all 60 minutes. /s

I'm so confused.....
Was Tocchet a great hiring-As stated this fall
Or is he not a great signing?

When the coach plays the veterans more then the young-in's- You blow a gasket
Conversely, When he plays the young-in's more then the vets- You blow a gasket?
All Tocchet was doing was letting Chychrun "work through it" It's not like it has been 72 games or anything... And we all know we can't draw any conclusions until then.
Way too small of a sample size!!!!!
And the Yote's are being smart with OEL..Keeping his stats down, MIGHT, Help them sign him to a friendlier deal. But in actuality it will just lower the return they get for him when he's traded.

Looks about right. Tanner doesn't seem to understand playing players in roles according to their abilities either though. It's an easy mistake to make when you don't watch games.

Not just about not watching games, it's also about a lack of insight into the game.
