GDT: Game 37: Coyotes @ Flames - 8PM - FSAZ+

[RemoAZ]

We're pretty much Star Trek red-shirts, at this point.

 

[CC96]

Where's CC96? I need a "defend the deficit" joke.

I was ar the Ohio State Massacre.

Don't you dare score! Defend the 4-1 deficit!



Happy New Year, folks.

 

[RemoAZ]

Scoring is over-rated.

 

[Summer Rose]

Scoring is over-rated.

Is it possible to win a game by a score of 0 to -1?

 

[_Del_]

If they try to score, they might be out of position or make a turnover. Better to just turn it over, I mean dump it, deep and make them go 200'. Do you want this game to be 5-1?! Do you?!

 

[Muppet]

Had a good laugh at the Coyotes snapchat. "Boys are down 4-1, get ready for a big push in the third". They've so far spent the majority of the third in their own end

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Mike Smith had the night off, along with the rest of the team.

 

[Muppet]

That's it Marty, increase that trade value.

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

Pull the goalie, use Doan as the extra attacker. Nice.

 

[Lilhoody]

After 3 goals I switched to Kings v Sharks.

Being a Coyotes fan is better when you have other things to do and just surreptitiously check the boxscore occasionally. My constant bafflement and disgust is replaced with a "Oh, we're losing and the kids aren't getting ice time? Figures."
I may "watch" more games this way. Which will mean less posting in GDTs to several people's relief.

This is how I "watch" every game now.

Im dusting off all of my old rare out of print books about famous distance runners just in case I have to go back to old lifestyles.

 

[Ciao]

Same response as after the trade threat. Zero. Someone check them for pulses. Are you going to try to trade everybody who is just going through the motions or fire the coach who is sub .370 in he last 5 seasons..? hmmm, what to do, what to do...

There comes a point where "trade" and "threat" don't belong together.

At some point "trade" makes more sense with "promise", "hope" or "dream".

I wonder what the record is ... may as well go for it..

Just put all of the youngsters back to AHL or Junior first , so they can remember what it is like to win.

A quick Google search says 30-game winless streak held by....

The Arizona Coyotes as the Winnipeg Jets in 1980-1981.

That's pathetic.

I agree. Let's pick up Burmistrov. Let's send Crouse and Chychrun to the OHL and Dvorak, DeAngelo, and Perlini to Tucson. Call up Tinordi and Gaudet.

Rieder-Hanzal-Vrbata
McGinn-Burmistrov-Duke
Martinook-Holland-Doan
Gaudet-Jooris-White

OEL-Murphy
Goligoski-Stone
Connauton-Schenn
Tinordi

Then we can trade Hanzal, Vrbata and Stone ASAP and replace with more "warm bodies" while collecting 1st and 2nd round draft picks.
