Looking forward to this Pacific swing. Pull out your rulers boys and girls, time to see how we measure up with this division.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Phoenix is stacked down the middle.

 

[Bgav]

Phx is ripping the nhl a new ******* this year.

 

[Squall]

Oh damn, watch out for mike smith.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Phoenix is stacked down the middle.

Vermette as a #1 C is embaressing...

 

[How Ya Drouin]

I hear their goalie is both their biggest goon, but also their biggest goalscoring threat. That Mike Smith has the perfect power game that we've been looking for. Watch out!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Phoenix is stacked down the middle.

I was looking at their D. OEL and Yandle...jeeeez. Scoring goals is going to be a tall order.

Canucks better be careful around Mike Smith's crease. Don't want to get any penalties for Smith diving. Er, I mean, goaltender interference.

 

[gobi]

Too long. Have to wait till Tues.

 

[BB6]

I would probably like the yotes if Mike Smith wasn't on the team, I really can't stand that guy but I guess its the same feeling every other fan base has for our team...

part of being a hockey fan I guess.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Vermette as a #1 C is embaressing...

isn't it Riberio?

 

[Bgav]

wasn't our 3rd line vs the leafs

Archy - Richy - Kassian

?

 

[Ryp37]

Gonna be a tough game Phoenix has been buzzing, seems like they haven't scored less then 3 goals a game the past while

I like the Coyotes and dislike Mike Smith. I think it's cause my dislike is more "haha what a goof, I don't like that guy" than "**** that piece of **** excuse for a human being". The latter is strictly reserved for Marchand, Keith, Doughty and Brown.

Anyways, really looking forward to this road trip. Should get a good sense of where we stand in the division right now and how much we still need to improve. Anything above .500 is a success at this point in the year.

 

[Fa Ci La]

try the car park!

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

isn't it Riberio?

Probably, it says Vermette on the OP though. Im jeaous they have Hanzal as their #3 C anyway.

 

[Peen]

wasn't our 3rd line vs the leafs

Archy - Richy - Kassian

?

yes.

 

[Craz1bo1]

Let's see who can score more from the blueline

 

[vanarchy]

Not a game to underestimate by any means.

I'm thinking hard fought low scoring game, possibly OT.

 

[Bgav]

one of my favorite games from 2011

 

[cutcopy]

haven't been playing attention to the coyotes, are they just off to a good start like the leafs, or have they been actually dominating the opposition?

 

[polarbearcub]

one of my favorite games from 2011

That team had so much swag

I still think Kes's toe-drag sucks. Horvat will show him how it's done.

God, I want to go back in time. I miss that team.

Our phoenix home crowd was so epic that game. I'm pretty sure I remember CDC crashing when coho scored his first.

 

[PG Canuck]

Should be a good test.

 

[shortshorts]

Must win.
