The good news last night is that we scored 2 goals 5on5...if we can do that and our PP is much improved, it should be a good year.
GDT: Game #6: Coyotes @ Kings | 7:30pm (AZ) | Scripps | Tales From The Crypt(o.com) Edition

I didn’t mind Boyd last night. Got an assist. Had some hustle. Seemed to be playing like he didn’t want to be scratched again.
Carcone is still kind of blah to me. I’d scratch him in place of Jenik.
We still have a secondary group of players who are not providing. I’m looking at Kerfoot, Crouse, Moser. At least Hayton is getting decent looks.
Cooley needs to get some shots. Only 5 shots in 6 games.
I assume we go back to Veggie next game.

I agree with all of that. Though, I think Carcone was playing really well for a couple of games before the Gudas hit. Maybe he needs to sit a game to recuperate.
Kerfoot has been really strong on FOs and McBain has been really struggling. Wouldn’t mind seeing Kerfoot playing with McBain and LOB and taking McBain’s draws for him.
Moser and Crouse are definitely the VERY early disappointments, thus far. Only six games, but I’d love to see both wake up and return to form.
Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz

Jenik-Bjugstad-Boyd/Carcone

Carcone/Boyd
^ Maybe getting Crouse back with Maccelli gets him back in his groove?
I miss Zucker so much already.
Missed the first two periods but caught the third. Thought Crouse looked pretty involved when he was out there, agree with RT that I'd like to see him back with Maccelli.
What happened to the shoot the puck mentality we had the last couple of games? Seemed like they were hesitant to just throw things on net last night, especially late in the game. It looked like they were trying to set up the perfect play last night for a goal, when the best scoring opportunity was a simple wrister on net with presence out front for a tip.

I think a lot of us missed the first two periods last night. For once, I chose to watch baseball over hockey.

I would happily trade a DBacks World Series win for a single point in the standings for the Yotes. No hesitation.

I had both going... DBacks on the TV and the Coyotes on my iPad (using Cox

Normally I'd agree, but since the dark cloud of relocation is still hovering above the Coyotes head, I've forced myself to watch more D-Backs and Suns. If the hammer drops, I'm not going into the next season as a newbie.
I always root for the local team, no matter what. I go to the games as often as I can, but since the move to Mullett I've invested in the other valley teams.

I’m not a sports fan. I only like hockey.

Worst defensive game of the season and it’s not even close.
I felt like Cooley passed on two opportunities too shoot and went high risk passes instead.

My OTA sound doesn’t go through my AV receiver, so I watched the Yotes and listened to Diamondbacks over the receiver, worked out well.
Screwed the pooch with defensive stupidity in this one. Take away the mistakes and it’s a game.

Makes it even more impressive that most of them can somehow manage not to fall completely asleep for any extended period of time during those games.
True. Now this is how I become conflicted.

You guys can laugh and maybe not follow sports, but to be an athelite having the god given talent to play a "game" is a miracle. It all looks so easy watching on TV sitting on our lazy boy yelling at them for not making a play, but in reality it's one of the hardest careers a person can have. LOB is my whipping boy this year, but you know what, he is playing in the NHL, we aren't. He has more hockey talent than anyone on this board. I have to take a bow to all players of any sport, because they are doing something so few can. That alone should make everyone a fan.

I don't even know if you like hockey, per se, but rather the potential of hockey, considering your incredible volume of theoretical trade proposals and addiction to prospect-watching and -projecting...

Non-NHL hockey is still hockey. Haha. I’d watch the Quebec Peewee Tournament if they televised it.I don't even know if you like hockey, per se, but rather the potential of hockey, considering your incredible volume of theoretical trade proposals and addiction to prospect-watching and -projecting...
I know it’s beside the point but I’ve been impressed with how much better LOB has been this season.
I’m aware baseball is incredibly difficult and to be an elite baseball player is special. I just don’t care about it. I hope everyone gets everything they want out of baseball. I hope the DBacks and the Rangers win and that everyone is happy and all the players on both teams winMVP.

But I’m a weird guy. I don’t watch any tv shows or movies. I don’t play any video games. I don’t even intentionally listen to music. The only media I watch is hockey media. The only media I listen to is audible (literary fiction only) or hockey podcasts. I’m just a weirdo. So my opinions on stuff like baseball or Taylor swift should be thrown right into the trash and not considered by anyone ever.
