GDT: Game 32: Red Wings @ Coyotes | 3-25-13 | 7PM MST | FS Arizona

[CC96]

With great regret I must report:

Jonas .878 SV% Vs. LaBarbera .925 SV%

LoL has only faced them twice in the last 5 years. Once as a starter and gave up 3 goals in a SOL. The other was in mop up duty last year in which one goal was given up. In the years prior....turnstile.

Would be cool to beat the Red Wings. Or just win in general.

Have to imagine a loss here would put Maloney in sell mode.

Not sure what this win thing is you speak of.

One would think, yeah. This season was stupid. I really hope we don't make an major decisions based off this 48/99 nonsense. I mean, there is little stuff we've learned that's valuable like Michael Stone is the real deal and clearly a better asset than Summers, for example. We've learned that Sullivan is not the answer for next season. Minor stuff like that. Having said that, I'd hate to see us trade everyone over thirty and fire the whole coaching staff, or anything nuts like that. I don't even want to trade Yandle, and I'd rather hang onto our vets than trade them for middling pieces like mid-round picks and long-shot prospects. Let's just stay the course, see if we heat up and if not, we can re-tool this summer.

There's not a lot of wiggle room there, though. At least not under current conditions. Conditions that might not exist in a few months time. For all we know, this team could hit the draft and FA with a new coach, new GM and a new city. I don't really see status quo as appealing. I have zero desire to see this team limp into next year sans Maloney and Tippett. I imagine the ticket base would feel the same way.

EDIT: Moved response to trade thread...

If they wore them on our 0-7 Thursdays would the universe implode?

Let's see here, Monday, March 25 is:

• Maryland Day - In Maryland;
• The International Day to Remember Slavery Victims and Transatlantic Slave Trade;
• The World Solidarity Day for Detained and Missing Workers; and
• Seward's Day - In Alaska

Come on now, it's Passover! Where my Jews at?

I think if we lose this one, then the season is as good as over. One win, we are right back in the 9th spot and may have a tiny bit of gas left in the tank. Go Coyotes!

Unstoppable force meets immovable object sort of situation!

We are having Passover Seder this Friday. We are not Jewish, though.

To put it in context: The Coyotes need to go 10-4-3 in order to have a greater than 50% chance of making the playoffs according to sportsclubstats. With Smith hurt and everyone cold, I don't see it. rt is right that there's really no need to give up on the season at the deadline. Even if you trade Raffi and Gordon, or even a D, you could still conceivably make it. Maloney may put all the big decisions off until the draft. By then, it may not even be him calling the shots.

 

[Howler Scores]

Ah the calm optimism is setting in. 5-3 Coyotes.

 

[Summer Rose]

Wish I were there. Stupid car...

Can be made up for if we win the game, though. Win the game. That's all I care about. I agree that if we lose this one we might as well kiss the playoffs goodbye.

 

[Plub]

I'm not sure I want to see this team make the playoffs. What an ass whoopin' we would get from the 'Hawks... or any other team.

The Hawks would be licking their chops at the chance to kick our a** in the playoffs, after what we did to them last year.

 

[Howler Scores]

And that's game

 

[Plub]

Whelp, that was a solid four-minute game. On to the next one.

 

[zz]

I can see it: first overall pick the same week the move is officially announced.

 

[CC96]

I cant believe we hit a double post.

It woudln't even phase me. It would just be par for the course.

 

[Howler Scores]

What's a power play goal?

 

[Plub]

Nash is such an ass. Nothing pretty? That was a beautiful setup at the point finished with a perfect tip. That's a damn nice goal.

 

[pacerhimself]

OEL was the qb for that goal big time.
