By Bryan Reynolds -
The Coyotes, much like Wild teams of the past, are a disrespected, semi-faceless, team that simply goes about their business, plays the games they are scheduled to play, and attempts to fly beneath the radar when it comes to the news. Mostly because all anyone cares to report on when it comes to the Coyotes is the ownership situation and the potential that the team could move.
Anyone here want to talk about uprooting a tam and moving it? As if we don't know what that feels like.
The team is in Phoenix, I would like it to stay there and be given a chance to succeed, rather than be under the constant threat of being moved to some Canadian city that has already proven it can't support a team. But hey... as long as we aren't bitter.
The Wild need to start behaving like the team they are, rather than the two headed beast they have become. Secondary scoring kicks in just as the top line dries up. Defense becomes solid, then makes terrible gaffes in key situations. Goaltending comes out hot, then finishes by fighting puck and coughing up rebounds. It has to stop at some point, right?
Oh, and try to stay the heck out of the penalty box in the third period, eh?
This has traditionally not been an exciting matchup to watch. Tonight could very well be different. For the sake of us watching at home, we can certainly hope tonight is different.
We'll see you tonight for the game thread.
