GDT: Game #59: Coyotes @ Leafs - 5:00pm (AZ) - Scripps, Coyotes Corner, ESPN+

Props to O’Brien for taking on Reaves in the game and Todd Walsh afterwards.

As usual, Bear hit the nail on the head.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

I wonder if we will ever look back on this skid and laugh about it?

I don't know about anyone else, but I haven't yet been able to laugh at all the other long losing streaks we've had over the past five years. Give me a new barn at Desert Ridge, and then maybe I'll start chortling morosely. That's as much as I can promise right now.

My daughter said to me that we will win the lottery and the player probably will pull a Lindros.

I think it's far more likely that we'd win the Celebrini lottery, and the kid would end up like Nail Yakupov or Alexandre Picard. That seems way more in line with Coyote Karma these days.

Goddammit, I hate it when sports reporters say, "Speak to the XXXX..." instead of asking a f***ing question.

I remember after one of my first press conferences when I was new to the journo gig, I ran into the athlete in the media center afterward and thanked him for giving me such good answers. He said, "You made it easy on me, man. That's the first time anyone has asked me a smart question all season. Everyone is always saying, 'Share your feelings on this,' or 'Talk about your emotions.' That's your job, bro, not mine. I get paid for a completely different job than you guys do. Don't forget it." That was just an incredible piece of feedback for a kid fresh out of school and trying to figure out the landscape. Never forgot it.

Which is why when I see Todd "REGIONAL EMMY" Walsh doing his mumblecore "COME WITH ME ON MY NARRATIVE JOURNEY" shtick, I want to throw heavy things at expensive things. Isn't there any way we can relocate HIM to Salt Lake City? They'd eat that faux-emotion crap up like it was cake.

I want to throw heavy things at expensive things.

Lol, another great line. Never ceases to amaze.

 

[Kai Yo T]

Keefe saying we were the better team.

Sheldon Keefe on the Maple Leafs' 4-2 win over Arizona: "The Coyotes were the better team tonight... Joseph Woll was the difference in the game"

Sheldon Keefe addressed the media after the Maple Leafs’ 4-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes which improved the team’s record to 34-17-8. On Mitch Marner filling in on right defense: It is great. His willingness to do it, first of all, and his ability to go out and do it… I thought he gave us […]

[UK Yote]

The frustration of being a Yotes fan continues. They deserved more out of this meeting. 2nd and 3rd periods we were the better team but our current inability to turn chances into goals is getting old. Horrible turnovers (again) cost us goals. Please let this end tonight.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Coach AT stating his unhappiness with Cooley’s backcheck… not sure if he meant in general or specific to one or both of Logans turnovers that led to leafs goals

The back check after he coughed it up. He was weak on a back check that lead to a goal last game as well, worse yet, this time it was necessitated by his own screw up. As I read this thread this AM, was surprised no one pointed it out, during game. Cooley will be fine (we hope), but another oddity of his is that he almost always goes for the play with least odds, like he’s always going for the element of surprise.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I , like many of you perhaps, am starting to think that Hayton is a bust.

He’s doing his best to become one. Hope he’s not tired of this org. (who could blame him) and hoping for a way out.

Not saying he was setting the world on fire pre-injury but I perceive most skaters struggle to get back to where they were after being on the shelf for close to 3 months. 6pts in 27gp is definitely abysmal though and he he shouldn't be as tired with the org as tired with himself for not performing. I would like to see him have one more (hopefully healthy) year before calling it and there's no big reason to not be patient on him.

Org should be tired with him. 6 years since his draft and he has one half season of decent play to show for it. Im sick of shit players.

I'm starting to think that Chayka fell in love with Hayton's play because he couldn't see that well through his squint.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Don’t know if y’all have short memories or what, but Hayton was dicked around by this org., the first couple years.

I watch every game and never read the GDT during the game, but typically catch up the next morning. I know the losing streak is frustrating, but this is the second game in a row where we were the better team and we just aren't getting the puck luck. I counted 4 hit pipes in the first 6 or 7 minutes of that 3rd period. The only one that went in was the one Cooley tapped in after it hit the back of the goalie. With a little bit of luck we would have tied that game up early in the 3rd. I continue to see the Coyotes getting better and better each game ever since the mid-way point of this losing streak. I would not be surprised at all to see a big win by the Coyotes tonight if the luck/momentum continues to turn.

Also, I thought Dumba had one of his best games of the season last night. We need to see more of that the next few days and maybe someone will give us a 2nd for him.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Hayton has showed me 'zero' during the games. If we weren't so strapped for Cs, he'd already be gone.

All I wanted from Dumba before he gets traded was to have him do ONE THING right, and last night he did that when he shoved his elbow into Max Domi's pie hole.

I kinda want to make that my avatar.

I have to say I was pretty surprised he did not get a penalty on that.

Anyone know when and how Domi lost all those front teeth?

What next. As if Hayton has teams lined up for his services.

The Coyote's don't have a choice do they.

he is beyond annoying at this point

 

[The Feckless Puck]

he is beyond annoying at this point

His gravest annoyance is that he's not trying to get a story, or discover a narrative - he has a narrative, and it's that he knows (or thinks he knows) what the real story is, wants to show that apparent knowledge to his interview subjects, and therefore approaches every interview like, "Look, you and I know the real story here, but explain it for the morons who aren't as connected as we are."

So he never actually asks a question, y'know? He just tells people or asks them to confirm the story he's got in his head. "You guys were out there battling every minute of that loss, weren't you?" "Talk about how that fight made everyone energized and more ready to win." Etc.

The team probably loves him because he doesn't challenge them on a goddamned thing. He's the everpresent Victorian Gent, to paraphrase Tom Wolfe, always looking for the seemly appearance and proper tone.

God, he drives me nuts.

It is a side hope of mine when they go to move into the new arena they do a fresh start on many things including cleaning house in the media group.

 

[BAdvocate]

Enjoyed the game, not the outcome....but come June.....

 

[Coyotedroppings]

What next. As if Hayton has teams lined up for his services.

Well, he's definitely an NHL player. Would you prefer to see him come into his own and succeed elsewhere.... like so many before him?

 

[BAdvocate]

We can't go a full week without getting shit on by someone. It's such a stale topic at this point that I think even if I lived in Canada or a northern market I'd be so tired of hearing about the Coyotes and just continue scrolling beyond these snakes and their dumb articles. Is anyone at this point really not aware that the team is on a long losing streak without any arena updates since last week?

Except we shit on ourselves daily in f40.

He’s so cringe. I’ve seen youth hockey players who skate better.

Domi is also a see you next Tuesday.

 

[Kai Yo T]

Hayton needs a new contract after this season, doesn't he? Didn't BA have a difficult time coming to an agreement with his agent last time around? If so, wonder what the situation will look like this time around. Arbitration maybe?

 

[Mosby]

Ofc Domi goes after Maccelli of all players
