Phoenix Coyotes

By Karen Francis The Coyotes started the scoring in the first period with a goal from 18 year-old Danish rookie, Mikkel Boedker at 11:40.  Jean-Sebastien Giguere was going left when he should have gone right and Boedker happily put it into the net for his first career NHL goal.    Shane Doan had a beauty of a...

By Karen Francis The Coyotes tied it up at 11:48 thanks to young ‘un Peter Mueller.  Mueller’s shot took a funny top spin over Hiller’s arm and dropped into the net on the other side.   It would be the only goal for the Coyotes, who are now 1-5-1 in the pre-season, despite their seemingly improved line-up.

Also included are all four Pacific Division rivals and a total of seven weekend games. The Black plan offers six weekend games, as well as all four Pacific Division rivals. Games aga...

By Matt Johnson I think I can safely say that Friday night’s game against Phoenix was the most one-sided Blackhawks victory I’ve ever seen. In net for the Coyotes was Ilja Bryzgalov who was recently acquired via the waiver wire from Anaheim. Though he had played very well since joining his new team, it didn’...

The Wild almost delivered the equalizer for the Coyotes, when Brent Burns had a poor play of the puck that resu...

By Derek Felska The key offensive line for the Wild was their new ‘Grind’ line of Matt Foy, James Sheppard and Aaron Voros.  This line has provided the team with great energy and has done a fair job at creating scoring chances and its two goals tonight were huge in keeping the team’s chances afloat under grea...

By Karen Francis The Ducks had their third loss in a row to the Phoenix Coyotes last night and their third shutout in twelve games. At 4-7-1, they have a whopping 9 points, are 4th in the Pacific Division and 12th in the Western Conference. Ouch. The problem has not been a lack of work ethic, which coach Randy Carl...

By Derek Felska This is not last year’s Phoenix Coyotes.  Since the lockout the Coyotes came out with new uniforms but the roster was a tad bit geriatric in nature with older players like Mike Ricci, Jeremy Roenick, Owen Nolan, and Curtis Joseph.  That team full of old legs is gone, some of them have even hung...
