Coyotes 2017 Season Thread

Shootout win over the Preds. Way too many dumb penalties, but otherwise pretty good play. Grats to Dvorak for his first NHL goal, and to Duclair for his first of the season.

Dude that move Duclair threw down was soooooo purty! This team is fun to watch even tho they are losing. We've had tons of 1 goal games so far and you can already see some growth. There was a play today where OEL made a pass late in the 3rd and setup ummm I think it was Vermette, anyways they didn't score, but it was a gorgeous play and you can see these guys are starting to feel more comfortable together. Our performance in OT was god aweful tho, man they gotta work on that 3 on 3. Louie was OUTSTANDING in the ot and shootout!

How bout Louie tonight! The guy was a stud and he pitched a shutout in the shootout!

It does seem that the game is slowing down a little for the young guys. Great to see passes being a little crisper, a little more on time and on line. Really impressed with Chychrun and Crouse, and Strome seems to be increasing in confidence as well. Not impressed with McGinn at the moment - seems the coach agrees as he is a scratch often from what I have seen. Connauton had a tough game last night.

@Bert - I am 99.9% sure it wasn't Vermette on the end of that pass...

I'm glad we all decided to just ignore the Ducks game.

Back at it tonight against the Avs. I think the important thing here is to play 60 minutes and end up on top of the scoreboard battle.

Nice win in Colorado last night. 4-2. Martinook looking great and Domi was all over the ice. The new Tony D looked great and scored in his first NHL game with his folks in the stands. The camera cut to them after he scored and their phones were blowing up.

 

[puckhead]

Speaking of Domi, the only highlight from the last game against the Ducks.

Talk about a two hit fight.

Talk about a two hit fight.

At least the ice took its hit without crumbling.

I thought that 12 year old GM was supposed to be a whiz kid with sabermetrics and stuff what is this trash team hes put together?

Nice W last night against the Oilers. Is it me or does it seem like just about every game we play goes into OT? Geeez...

 

[puckhead]

I wish we could play the Oilers every night.

At Sharks tonight. Need to keep gathering up some points.

Once again, a herculean effort by Mike Smith only results in 1pt. He deserves better than this. The Coyotes went full turtle in the 3rd period and it cost them.

On the bright side 6 of last 9 have gone to overtime. This team is very competitive! I see clear progress from the beginning of the year. Hopefully the trend upwards continues... Losing,,, ties,,, wins!

0-3-3 in the last six. Has regular season started yet?

 

[puckhead]

Beat Nashville, got spanked by the Pens, and then pulled out a good win in Detroit last night. Helter Skelter team right now. Not looking good for post-season. At all.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Domi's out for several weeks with a broken hand. Too important to the team to be dropping the gloves

 

[Kel Varnsen]

LOL

Sweet! I got here just in time for the fight.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Tuned in to watch the homecoming of Auston Mathews, and BOOM - Doan scores his 400th career goal in his 1,500th career game!!!! So cool!!!

At least there is something positive this season.

Rebuilds suck.

 

[puckhead]

What is prospect Dylan Strome up to, you ask? 47 points in 20 games in the OHL. And then there's this:

Not much of a return for Stone, who I liked, but he hasn't been the same since knee surgery. Let's see what's next.
