Fire Tocchet #2

[PuckLife]

I fell asleep when we were up 2-0, and woke up to a 3-2 O T loss.

It makes me happy for 2 reasons:
Keller, Garland and Schmaltz all got points.They’re our future.
One more loss in Tocchet’s record. He’s not our future.

Might as well keep him through the season now and get as high a 4th rounder as they can get.

We can get a 4th rounder for RT? SWEET!

How it started:

The Coyotes equaled the worst start in NHL history, blowing a third-period lead and losing to the Devils 4-3 on Saturday night.

The Coyotes (0-10-1), in their first season under former Lightning coach Rick Tocchet, tied the record of 11 consecutive losses to start a season, set by the Rangers in 1943-44. That Rangers team went until its 16th game before a win (0-14-1).

The Coyotes continue to make history, although it’s not the kind Arizona was hoping for when the puck dropped on the 2017-18 season.

Earlier in the year, the Coyotes matched a more than 70-year-old record by losing their first 11 games, tying them with the 1943-44 New York Rangers for the worst season-opening struggle. Arizona snapped their winless streak before taking sole possession of the record by downing the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 12 of the campaign. But, on Tuesday night, the Coyotes did earn a first in terms of futility.

With a 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, Arizona earned the dubious distinction of becoming the first team in NHL history to go through the first 20 games of a campaign without a regulation win. Yes, that’s right: the Coyotes are nearly one-quarter of the way through the season without winning a 60-minute contest, picking up their only victories by way of overtime and a shootout.
