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!

I've come to the same conclusion. Also more Sabres turnovers.

, the Yotes are definitely the worse team tonight. The kids are playing relatively well, or at least the poor play of the Yotes are making them look alright.

A little pregame entertainment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnUoUKEIGoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4nlcmmt8X0 Not happy endings, but few tank rampages are.

Warning: Sacrilege

I'm leaning towards neither, but I think it's more likely that we fire Nolan to pursue another coach (Babcock?) than it is that Hodgson is traded or bought out.

Been rocking a Bauer 5100 for years, thought it was safer when I bought it, glad it showed up with two stars here. The impression that I got when I bought six-ish years ago was that some helmets were designed to diminish one or two beastly impacts and then be tossed away (almost like a bike helmet that cracks up and is then thrown away) and some newer technology helmets were designed to do a better job at repeatedly diminishing more frequent, less severe impacts. But the trouble is that the most important aspect of a helmet is fit, and the different manufacturers of helmets fit drastically different, so it makes it tough to seek out specific safety technologies. It's always worth nothing that expensive helmets don't necessarily protect better (or even fit better), but they sometimes break in easier, are slightly more comfortable, and are sometimes more easily adjusted.

Tankity tankity tankity tankity.

You complete me.

Troof. Since 2005, the only players to be drafted top-five and make the jump directly from NCAA to a 30+ game NHL season are Jack and Erik Johnson, Toews, Kessel, and JVR, and they were all drafted 2005-2007. That's too few to compare as a stand-alone group, which, even if you could do that, it wouldn't mean much anyways, because Eichel is on an extreme end of that data.
