GDT: Game 36: Coyotes @ Blues - FSAZ - 6PM - Meet Me In St. Louis

[Mangosteen]

Wow, little scared that bad blood is going to boil over with so many games against the Blues. Dirty play with injuries are imminent

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Another game vs STL has been officially added for Friday so we now play them Friday, Saturday, and next Monday in Glendale.

Still room for a game on Sunday

If we match up against them in the playoffs, it could make for a really exciting series. I'd love for the blues to become our new rival in the central.

 

[Name Nameless]

Fun. Fun! I noticed I wasn't the only one asking, but I still want to ask: Why has Kuemper started to belly-flop like that? Now, he still had great stats in this game, so it didn't matter. But I wonder.

We’ll have no shortage of rivals in the central, but he’ll yeah... let’s add the Blues!

doesn't make sense to do just one. Might as well do both the other STL games and open up the window in our schedule for the flex-scheduling later. Make it easier to re-schedule the missed ones.

 

[SniperHF]

I feel like we should be the only teams that are allowed to play each other and we should just let the winner of the series have the division crown for the playoffs

I heard Darren Pang on Sirius NHL Network after the 2nd STL-Coyote game in an extended interview. He joined to talk about the Blues given he's their color analyst, but he couldn't stop talking about Arizona....glowing comments, overall point was about how STL couldn't handle the Coyotes speed.

Thought about that as I watched the last 2 games, Panger was exactly right, the Blues Dmen were no match for the Coyote forwards...add in a relentless forecheck and it's not an accident the Coyotes beat them in 3 straight.

Very interested to see what happens the next 3 games. Do the Blues adjust? Do the Coyotes come out flat as they historically do after a long road trip? Can the Coyotes keep it up?

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

I am cool with the amended schedule because we are 3-1 in this "series"; but if we were 1-3, boy oh boy would I HATE it.

If it's the 4/15 game that's rescheduled, it does help, though. Opens up a 5-day window from a 3-day window.

and then you have Garland or Keller for some reason playing 60 minutes a night getting an odd man chance, or at least it feels like they're on the ice for the entire game.

Nicest compliment an opposing fan has paid a Coyotes line since Hanzal, probably.

I always liked Pang, was sad when he left our org. I didnt get to watch every game but that seems accurate. Last season I saw a lot of STL fans talking about how their team struggled against some of the more physical teams in the league, not unlike us. If we can maintain our speed, continue to add high end skill and upgrade our physicality, I'd feel pretty good about our team as a contender.

I thought they out played us a little last game and we were fortunate to win. I think they are feeling the effects and need to adjust post Petrangelo.

I might be the only one but I am actually digging these little series. I hope the league can keep something like this moving forward. Cut down on travel costs.

Not only that, but I think it would help the players to be fresher not having to play 1-game series. Play 2 or 3 game series, then move on to the next club. I'm all for it.

 

[TheLegend]

Might as well rename the division to the Honda Coyotes Blues Division.

I like it too. You get a really good feel about how the team looks against the same competition. Takes out that fluke one bad game on a bad night. You play a 3 or 4 games series, you know what each team has. I think it will be especially good for us against the physical teams. Might take a series or two against a team like Vegas to toughen us up enough to have a chance against them in the playoffs.
