Coyotes try to get 5th win in row. While the Wild themselves are at a 5 game winning streak looking to get to 6th straight win.

Bryz should be in goal again. And the slumping Peter Mueller will be back in the lineup after being recently injured.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

Mueller responded, Bryz grabbed a shutout and the 'yotes 5 in a row

Nice win over a team that they need to win points from

 

[puckhead]

Awesome win. Nice game day post, Nooch.

Awesome win. Nice game day post, Nooch.

Was a good win. Thought we controlled the flow much of the game. We still took too many penalties.

Thanks trying to get some life into Coyotes Forum. This team should be talked about!

 

[puckhead]

...This team should be talked about!

Agreed! I post sometimes at CoyotesCorner.net and lurk over at HFBoards.com for pretty good Coyote talk.

I'm all for trying to spark this board a bit if we can.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

definitely - the product is pretty good

i'm a sharks fan and will be there saturday as a sharks fan, but I try to make it to 6-10 games a year and if SJ isn't playing i'm pulling for the 'yotes

Hey, nobody's perfect.

...but I try to make it to 6-10 games a year and if SJ isn't playing i'm pulling for the 'yotes

Awesome!

I will be there on Saturday. It's not part of my partial season ticket, but I got the company tickets.

Also, anybody wanting to go to a game has a lot of options for good, cheap seats this year. Education/military rush nights, we win/you win games, connections with season ticket holders, etc. Let me know if you're looking for a good deal and I can help you find something.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

that is the truth krepitch

you can have a really nice night out for not so much cash

if you keep your eyes open it's possible to get tickets in the upper level center section for no more than $20 a ticket - with no parking cost and a ton of good happy hours in westgate you can have a big night out for not a lot of $$$ and the view from those seats are spectacular

also, if anyone is looking for tickets for this game I think stubhub has tickets 3 rows off the glass down by the faceoff circle for $40 or a little less ........ grab those and you could even end up sitting by me

I tried to convince a couple friends of mine to buy tickets to the we win/you win game versus the Sens with the black friday "sandstorm" promotion - but they balked as they don't know if they like hockey or not

they could of ended up with a pair of lower level tickets to two games for $70 total

i think I'm going to have to free some schedule and drag them to a game with me to kind of explain it a little

I follow the Sharks cause the are my buddys favorite team I know there roster well. I cheer for them at times. I just can't stand any other team in the division especially the Ducks.
