I don’t know if people feel pity on the goalie, but speaking from experience I’ve played goalie for 7 years and sometimes you need to be on your toes. You are a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE FOR GOD SAKES!!! Sometimes you need to put the team on your back and carry them. There have been backups that have kicked our butts this season and took over the game. So now I ask you......does that sound like something DARCY KUEMPER can do?

He literally did it two days ago, against the Cup champs, no less. He's inconsistent as hell, but this entire team is full of inconsistent players.

wasn’t gonna be a fan but Utalked me into it
It's weird af how Tocc is treating it. He either has to be a 1st line winger, or he's a healthy scratch. There's no middle ground.

He's either being advertised or they're trying to do their best with asset management but focusing solely on one player. There has to be a middle ground, he cannot anchor your top line if he's going to be scratched multiple times this season

I am watching the Detroit broadcast. The prolific Coyotes PK was mentioned a few minutes ago. A stat was mentioned and unless I heard Ken Daniels incorrectly he said the Coyotes currently have the best PK goal +/- in NHL history.

I reckon he's real lucky, he spends 99% of his games floating around completely invisible, yet he'll usually score out of nowhere and earn himself another 5 games. He's waiver fodder imo, but Chayka might work some magic. Package him with KConn or Demers, get some scraps for them :laugh:

I woukd love to see Panik and KConn packaged with maybe a 4th or 5th for someone that needs a change of scenery. Like Sprong, but less coveted. Sprong probably too expensive, but you catch my drift.

Also must say it hurts to see all the empty seats in "Hockeytown". City of Detroit is falling, all of it, isn't it.

Kuempers statistics gets blown. Unfair IMHO, even if he looked a bit uncertain in the start, 5 goals on 17 shots is massively misleading.

So why did Hammer get the belt instead of him. They played a FULL TEAM GAME!!! So, putting the team on his back.........NO!!

Was just going to ask how bad was playing. So the Coyotes suck again, eh?

Really hope against hope this team can be competitive but I look at the roster and wonder where all the talent went with all the high picks.

Sigh. It is tough being a fan of this team.

In half an hour the advise should be: forget this game. Just forget it.

And suddenly Detroit is playing excellent hockey. They were supposed to be a lottery team, weren't they? Just like the Canucks.

Oh, it was another Detroit-goal. I just thought it was a replay.

And you can't shoot the puck when they want to give you a penalty.
