Nothing sucks more than having to make an example out of a couple guys and punish the whole team. The Nashville Predators are down 2-0 to the Phoenix Coyotes in the best-of-seven second round series and could use all the help they can get. So, suspending a guy who is tied for team lead in [...]
Wow. One one hand it’s kind of weird that Shea Weber didn’t get any punishment at all for his hit on Henrik Zetterberg, and now we see that the NHL is going to drop the hammer on Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres. Torres has been suspended for 25 games for his hit on Chicago Blackhawks [...]
This is hardly a shocker. I think we all knew something like this was coming the minute he opened his mouth. Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville was absolutely livid following his team’s Game 3 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. And rightfully so. It wasn’t just the loss. Raffi Torres absolutely leveled Marian Hossa to the [...]
The NHL playoffs have been amazing this year so far. A lot of that could be due to the absolutely bloodbaths that a few of these series have become. There has been a lot of dirty play, and Raffi Torres of the Phoenix Coyotes has been one of the poster boys. During Tuesday night’s game [...]
The Florida Panthers have plenty of cap space, that much we know. They needed to spend some money soon just to get to the salary cap floor. They apparently wanted to get there quickly, because they signed aging defensman Ed Jovanovski to a four-year, $16.5 million contract. You read that right. The former first-overall pick [...]
A source close to the situation tells OTR that Ilya Bryzgalov has a deal in place with the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s not shocking since the Flyers traded a 2012 third-round pick, future considerations and forward Matt Clackson for the former Phoenix Coyote goalie. I don’t think anyone really believed that he would sign elsewhere as [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers may have finally added a goaltender! In case you didn’t notice, and judging by the ratings you didn’t, the Flyers had awful netminding in the playoffs this year (and end of the regular season). Brian Boucher might start, but Sergei Bobrovsky would finish the game. Or vice versa. Or maybe Michael Leighton [...]
Sources tell TSN that the Phoenix Coyotes could return to the city from which they came. That’s right the Coyotes could be heading back Winnipeg, which is very far from Phoenix in case you don’t have a map handy. The sources say that the decision could come in the next three weeks. The city of [...]
Let’s the residents of Arizona rejoice. All those hardcore ice hockey fans out there will not have to see their favorite team leave. The NHL has announced a plan to sell the Phoenix Coyotes to an investor group, who says they will keep the team in Glendale. Ice Edge Holdings is a group of American [...]
As the Phoenix Coyotes continue to go through more physical changes than a 13-year old girl, Wayne Gretzky decided it would be best if he stepped down as head coach. “This was a difficult decision that I’ve thought long and hard about,” Gretzky said in a statement. “We all hoped there would be a resolution [...]
