Career Coyote Shane Doan, in the words of his teammates

Not certain if this has been posted in other areas, but a lot of things that can be said about Doan, and his teammates kind of filled in some of the gaps. This is also why I think last year was so very difficult for the team without Doan in place to help the players through and why the transition to a different captain may have been so hard because of how hard it is to replace a guy like that.

Great read!

Does anyone knows if all the Pre-game jersey retirement stuff will be televised/streamed? I usually catch the game on NHL.tv, but not sure about where to catch Doaner's big day/event.

While I would have loved to have seen Doan win the Cup I'm also very happy he is a lifetime Coyote. Need him back in the fold soon.

Good article. Wish they would have talked to more former teammates. Didn't sound like Tkachuk liked Doan.

Not a bad fudgin' article.

Yes, his leadership was missed in the locker room - but they've adapted now.
Glad he's got a job as an ambassador of the game - he fits that role really well.

Seems like they all had a little negativity in their responses. Except Perlini.

I didn't read it that way. Tkachuk maybe, but Wizard and Smitty no way. Really like the anecdote about team dinners on the road from Perlini.

Shane Doan is the man. Now and forever. Looking forward to seeing video from the jersey retirement.

I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of dust floating around and getting into people's eyes on Sunday.

I just hope people show up on time for this. If there's one time in this franchise's history where fans around the Valley should unite in a show of support and timely arrivals, it's this Sunday.

I'm one of those 5 minutes late is on time kind of people so I've told myself the ceremony starts at 4:30pm to ensure I'm not just there but I'm there sitting in my seat bored for 20 minutes waiting for things to start!

I had to give my tickets away to this one. No way my two year old sits through the ceremony AND the game.

Man I'd have gone to the ceremony and skipped the game rather than miss the whole game! Or paid the mother-in-law a triple babysitter fee or something!
