Oh, that's good tankin'. Pro level.

Let me tell something about this guy... HE HAS HERPES!

Any player that scores a GTG or GWG will be traded to Edmonton or Phoenix.

Mathematically speaking, if true, that means a team couldn't trade #3 overall and #4 overall for #2 overall or #1 overall. Sort of sets up the impossible price of trading up.

Yep, if we finish 29th, there's a 33.5% chance we draft top two. Still an unacceptable risk, imo.

Good story. Pardon me, but what the . I can imagine if they're in the "it's all going to be ok no matter what happens" or "we have no control over our place in the standings- the players do" mentalities. The questions are if they're equally big on the guys available at 3 or 4 (of course they're not) and whether can they justify that (they can't). The blue print calls for taking shots at drafting elite talent. Not very good talent. We have an opportunity presented to us and we need to execute.

Do we take Hanifin over Strome?

I don't think you heard me; I said Just kidding. Yes. Technically, we should be able to tie in points. But I don't trust those catfishin' dickbags in the league office. I want a mathematical difference in points with no explanations required.

We can go as good as 1-4-1. I've stopped caring in what order this can happen. I've also stopped caring about ROWs. If we have to beat the Leafs at home, so be it. But that means no more winning, even on fan appreciation day.

I'd say that the GM is primarily responsible for driving the tank (and has been successful so far). The players and coaches haven't really had to throw games yet, nor should they have- the standings haven't truly demanded it. I think Nolan is right to instill a work ethic and culture in the team all season long. But I think there could be some sort of secret nuclear tank option we haven't seen yet, and may actually never see if we keep losing the usual way. I don't know what it is, though. Maybe successive over the glass delay of game penalties.

Hadn't considered before: I wonder if the players or coaches are in on it. I wonder if the threshold for them not trying is being in a position to win and move to 29th. We haven't seen that yet (at least not when it's mattered). Maybe as long as they're 3 points or greater out from 29th, they keep trying, then when it's really close, they'll blow it. The concept is reminiscent of the media's questioning of Murray before the salary cap floor. They kept asking how he was going to meet the salary floor, and he kept laughing. When it got down to brass tacks, he said he expected to have no problem getting players to take his money, and thus the salary floor was a non-issue. He was right. Maybe the players and coaches are allowed to keep trying until they threaten the tank. Kind of difficult to imagine, but maybe it isn't be a problem to find players that want to take the easy way out of a game and lose- but only when it really matters.

From my limited interactions with him, he seems like a nice guy. He knows the fans are passionate and love the team and he loves that and tries to engage with them regularly. I would hope he's approachable and available this evening and you get a chance to chat with him some.

Gila RIver also has Tim Horton's concession stand inside.

Neat.

"I never try anything, I just do it... wanna try me?"

Same thing for the Coyotes: ARI vs: SJ 1-3-0 SJ at SJ 1-1-0 SJ at ARI 0-2-0 CGY 3-2-0 CGY at CGY 0-2-0 VAN 3-2-0 VAN at VAN 0-2-0 ANA 0-5-0 ANA at ARI 0-2-0 Projects to ARI picking up maybe one point. If the season series with the remaining opponents are any indication, it's gonna be close. Real close.

Buffalo vs: TOR 2-3-0 TOR at home 2-0-0 CHI 0-2-0 CHI at home 0-1-0 NYI 1-2-0 NYI at NYI 1-1-0 CAR 1-2-0 CAR at home 1-1-0 CBJ 1-2-0 CBJ at CBJ 1-0-0 PIT 0-3-0 PIT at home 0-1-0 Projects to six-ish points? Doesn't factor post-deadline roster, goaltending.

SNL hasn't quite been hitting it out of the park lately, but there's definitely been some base hits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_yWxB9VW0c

Might be reading too much into that tweet. They ended a five game winless streak. I'm sure the players would be happy to not finish last, but I think putting in the effort, playing well, and tallying a W for it is cause enough for a few hoots in the locker room.

We don't get the choice in the lottery. We must secure our own destiny. I'm alright with not getting McDavid. I'm not alright with neither getting McDavid nor Eichel.

If the Coyotes won tonight, we pretty much could've started cheering for wins again. Now we have to tank the rest of the season.

Pulling the goalie with 2:00 left? that.

Thanks Nikita!
