I don't see smitty from my section in warmups, is he a late scratch tonight or something?

 

[Summer Rose]

Forgot tonight was free pizza night.

Smith must be sick

"@azc_mclellan: Based on line rushes, Klesla is in and Schlemko is out. Forwards the same."

oh joy. Anyway it's cool to see raffi again. Not looking forward to playing him though. We all know what a helluva gamer he can be.

 

[Howler Scores]

Or not

"@cmorgancbsfoxaz: #Coyotes goalie Mike Smith is day to day with a lower body injury"

There was one butterfly last game that looked painful.

"@azc_mclellan: Bad news for #Coyotes: Smith is 6-3-1 with 2.10 GAA and .943 save % against the #Sharks."

"@azc_mclellan: Good news: After tonight, #Coyotes off until Thursday. Plenty of rest time. Should note Smith battled groin injury earlier this season."

 

[Summer Rose]

Didn't make a sign for Raffi.

Had way too much to do between work and going to the game.

Hate to be a buzzkill, but the team store looks awful tonight. Coyotes/Kings tshirts. No jerseys. Anywhere. Looked like an owner who wasn't interested in keeping inventory ...

 

[ck26]

Labarbara in goal?

 

[Summer Rose]

Nick Johnson announced as a scratch. Guess that means the Johnsons made it.

Korpi, Smith, and Biz also scratched. Sounds like Z is good to go.

 

[Howler Scores]

Good crowd at least. Next Sharks game looks weak.

 

[Howler Scores]

Raffi appreciated Yandle

 

[ck26]

The "breaking the law" soundtrack makes less sense when it's matching minors ...

 

[Vip]

Heard Torres and Yandle are going at it. Any insight? I can't watch the game.

Welcome to Coyoteland, it's been that way for years. It took me 1 month and checking about 8 stores before i got a jersey in my size.

Raffi knocked Yandle down hard then elbowed him and Yandle tried to Taylor Hall Raffi but missed.

 

[CC96]

Raffi with a big check on Bolduc. Tryin to make a statement I suppose.

 

[XX]

That was icing by a good margin. Touched it before the red line. Come on Nash.

 

[ck26]

Ding!

 

[CC96]

Anyone know the attendance?

 

[DirtDogMesa]

Bods nails a post on a great play.....Raffi "Juke Box" Torres playing all his favorite hits tonight. Yotes are playing hard and tough.

 

[ck26]

What's capacity? 18? There's probably 13.5 here.

 

[DirtDogMesa]

That last shift was what I thought I would see all season from the Coyotes, keep it up boys the puck will find the back of the net

 

[Howler Scores]

I am guessing 14.5k there but they will say in the 3rd. Dallas loses so some hope there and they just showed Smith from this morning...really hurting in the groin area.

 

[CC96]

Capacity is 17,125.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Any updates on Smith? How much time will he miss if any?
