INJURIES AND SUCH

The Coyotes are shorthanded up front due to the absence of Radim Vrbata (lower body) and Martin Hanzal (upper body), both of whom are keys to the offense. Defensemen Derek Morris and David Schlemko are also out with lower-body injuries. …

Back to back games for both teams and Calgary won last night 3-1 vs Minnesota.

 

[Alberta Yote]

This team needs Hanzal to be more durable than he has been so far in his career. Kind of a part time player at this point.

 

[Howler Scores]

"@ToddWalsh: According to #Coyotes Head Coach Dave Tippett the only lineup change tonight vs #Flames is Stone for Rundblad. Audio up soon."

"@azc_mclellan: Vs. #Coyotes “@NHLFlames: Joey MacDonald will start in net tonight. #CGYPHXâ€"

 

[Naych_PHX]

Ehh... not expecting this one to be pretty. Would love be wrong.

I have to wonder how Hanzal managed to stay healthy enough to play the amount of games he did in the Czech league during the lockout. He does take a hell of a beating most nights.

 

[Plub]

Sigh, same roster as the EDM game... I think tonight is a movie night.

 

[XX]

I hope this is not a chronic back issue with Hanzal that they are trying to mitigate with rest. He looked perfectly fine his last game out, then gets shut down. Makes no sense, unless he is attempting to play through something.

 

[moosemeister]

Wait a freaking second here. So you're telling me, that we get to watch the Suns get ****ed by the Spurs and not even feel it, instead of watching the team that made it to the conference finals last year, and actually have a chance at winning this game?

Fox sports would rather show the Suns and College basketball over the Yotes? I hate this market.

 

[Fathead]

Its on fox sports +.

 

[moosemeister]

Its on fox sports +.

Why the hell am I not seeing it? lol

 

[moosemeister]

Not B**** fit coming out of me today. My Direct TV didn't update fast enough. Thanks!

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Lets just win this one. Stupid Vancouver went an got spanked by Detroit today so they'll be looking to take it out on us Tuesday. Quit hitting posts and put it in the net.

 

[Muppet]

Predicting a slow, grinding game from both sides, especially seeing as we're both back to back. We'll come away with a 3-1 win.

 

[Summer Rose]

GCL appears to once again be allowing me to view this game, even though it's "supposed" to be blacked out. Maybe Canadian feeds are an exception or not practically possible to black out? Worked yesterday against the Oilers (Oilers feed yesterday, Flames feed today - I don't want to try the Coyotes feed on the off chance it breaks).

 

[Howler Scores]

That is about right.

 

[Muppet]

That was a baaaaad angle to let through.

 

[pacerhimself]

That is about right.

Yeah I might just get my gym trip in tonight if this keeps up.

These Alberta arenas sure do look different on TV for some reason.

 

[amjay13]

anyone have a link?

 

[Summer Rose]

Shouldn't have tried to poke, had all the angles covered.

Soft goal to give up.

 

[Summer Rose]

Would have PMed it to you but I think you have them disabled because I wasn't able to find a link to.

thank you!

 

[Summer Rose]

Nice double PK.

 

[pacerhimself]

So do we even have a #1 line at this point?

 

[Muppet]

Another two minutes of embarrassment incoming.

 

[Summer Rose]

So do we even have a #1 line at this point?

Chipchura-Gordon-Torres? Might just be our best option.
