Team scope:

Blues: After a strong defensive outing in a 4-2 win against Edmonton last Friday, St. Louis set out on its longest road trip of the season hoping to continue that trend. But things have gone from bad – a 4-1 loss in Dallas on Sunday – to worse, as the Blues conceded five unanswered goals in a 6-4 defeat at the hands of Los Angeles. The Blues led 4-1 midway through the second period, but the Kings came roaring back, scoring five times over the final 30 minutes. Jaroslav Halak was pulled after conceding five goals, the most the Blues’ goalie has given up since March 12, 2011.

With goaltending a concern, the Blues recalled Jake Allen from Peoria of the American Hockey League late Tuesday night.

Who’s hot: David Perron has a two goals and an assist in his last two games for St. Louis.

Injury report: The Blues’ struggles can in part be chalked to injuries to important offensive players. Forwards Andy McDonald (knee), Alexander Steen (shoulder), Vladimir Tarasenko (concussion) are all day-to-day, while Jamie Langenbrunner (hip) is out for the season. … For Phoenix, Radim Vrbata (lower body) and David Schlemko (upper body) are day-to-day.

Can we just start the shoot-out at 7pm? It will save wear and tear on both teams, plus they each get a point.

We're likely headed there anyway.....

 

[Howler Scores]

Yay, yet another game I'll be attending where they'll probably be run out of the building.

Wonder if we'll get scored on first.

One trend that needs to stop is the Thursday massacres! Yotes are 0-4 and outscored 18-8. Ouch!!

Jk.

Let's get a W today.

 

[Muppet]

Once again, I'll only be able to watch about an hour before work, so the 'Yotes are going to have to put up a considerable lead in the first to keep me satisfied.

 

[Summer Rose]

Looking forward to Buck Bash tonight. Missed the first one.

Also looking forward to winning.

I hadn't thought of this term in years, but from my days on college football usenet news boards in the 90s, that was known as an 'anti-woof' (which is funny because...well...Coyotes... )

Well... we should be well rested after taking last night off.

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

I wonder if the Coyotes are pregnant. We missed three periods last night.

How about a Hanzal hattie tonight?

How about a Hanzal hattie tonight?

Tell him to park in the slot or crease and no one on the Blues will lay a hand on him.

Good luck(ish) and no injuries tonight.

 

[KG]

How about a Hanzal hattie tonight?

Yes please.

 

[Vip]

How about a Hanzal hattie tonight?

Sure, why not.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Then it's decided. Hanzal gets a hat trick tonight.

 

[Vip]

might try the radio broadcast tonight.

Mmmm... one dollar Bud Light. The hot dogs aren't too bad for a buck either.

On a side note, driving to Coyotes games are about the only time I regret driving a manual. Have a sore left ankle from yesterday too.
