Sharks fan coming in peace. Here's our GDT if you guys want to take a look. Hoping for a good game!

[XX]

Have a feeling this game will bring people who think the freewheeling style is sustainable back down to earth.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

No laying an egg please!
This is a new month and lets start it off with a win.

 

[Sciamachy]

Lines at the skate per McLellan:

Boedker - Ribeiro - Doan
Korpikoski - Hanzal - Vrbata
Klinkhammer - Vermette - Moss
Szwarz - Miele - Chipchura - Bissonnette (Rotating)

Ekman-Larsson - Michalek
Yandle - Morris
Rundblad - Stone
Klesla - Gormley (Klesla of course still on IR)

Boedker - Ribeiro - Doan
Korpikoski - Hanzal - Vrbata
Klinkhammer - Vermette - Moss
Szwarz - Miele - Chipchura - Bissonnette (Rotating)

Ekman-Larsson - Michalek
Yandle - Morris
Rundblad - Stone
Klesla - Gormley (Klesla of course still on IR)

I want to see how that fourth line plays..and I hope that Rundblad and Gormley make the most of there time

 

[Plub]

Expecting the guys to come ready to play as if this is a playoff game due to how bad we got worked last time. The Sharks are one of maybe two or three times that I always feel like we will lose against.

 

[Howler Scores]

Tough game hopefully the yotes are now rested and can keep pace.

 

[JTPoni23]

I got no problem with the Sharks or their fans. Probably the only other team I can really tolerate in the Pacific, maybe the Ducks or Flames sometimes too. Sharks are favoured by a goal and a half, so naturally I took the Yotes in my spread picks.

Looking forward to another great performance by Smitty against the Sharks!

 

[Summer Rose]

This game will definitely be a big test.

 

[0point1]

I will be there tonight in section 210.

 

[Vip]

Go coyotes!

 

[TheMurdocktor]

Defensively, gotta keep that puck out of the middle. Keep everything to the outside and for the love of all things, get physical and clear the crease!

Offensively, get it deep and go to work. Keep the blue line involved as well.

 

[rt]

[MOD]

Anyhow, back to hockey. I completely agree with XX. I'm very concerned that this is the game where starting slow, playing sloppily defensively and counting on an unsustainable offensive output to save our bacon finally blows up in our faces.

 

[0point1]

The GDT for the December 27th game should say "San Jose Hipsters vs Phoenix Coyotes."

 

[0point1]

This is not a game we can afford to come out slow in the first.

 

[KG]

Time for Hanzal to pick up where he left off.

 

[Howler Scores]

Is the slow start a result of trying to establish a strong physical game but turnovers lead to an early deficit and they have to play loose and take chances? Or do they need some red bull?

 

[Longwayfromhome]

Is the slow start a result of trying to establish a strong physical game but turnovers lead to an early deficit and they have to play loose and take chances? Or do they need some red bull?

Last game they actually came out strong. But one sloppy goal and some unlucky bounces turned things around. But god i hope yotes score first tonight.

 

[BarkingMad]

Amusing parallel between the gdts, the dinosaurs complement the chokers quite nicely considering its hypothesized that some species didn't chew their food! (It's amusing for me at least, says a lot )
I don't think this will be a repeat of the last game but like others have said, a strong start is crucial.

 

[Muppet]

So, we're basically forced to play a full 60 minutes of classic Coyotes hockey tonight, or we're doomed. Get a 2-0 lead, then bore them to death for the rest of the game.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

That sounds fine with me. I'm sure Tippet would like that too.

 

[SweYote]

Yeah, no time for first period naps this time around that's for sure! They have to learn at some point, right?!

 

[SR]

Never understood why we bag on other teams in our GDT's. Looking at almost everyone we play and their GTD theirs is pretty respectful. Oh well. Go Yotes.

 

[radapex]

Any word on whether Gormley is in tonight? Saw a few people saying so on Twitter but nothing official.
