What a game, memorable to say the least. Hearing Nash talk about Keller and Crouse being with Shane during his last year as a player made me think about that roster. Man, I was excited about that young core. Makes me appreciate having GMBA here to shepherd along the new young core.

I'm a big fan. Hopefully they sign him long term.
He definitely looks tall, maybe 6''3", but 200 seems a stretch.

In the family picture above he looks the same height as dad, who is listed as 6'1.
In this pic from last summer he looks similar height to Spicy Dyl, who is listed as 6'2.
So I guess I could believe 6'2, which is almost 6'3.

Just saw the recap.
Great Game overall. And Doan was really well positioned most of the time. I hope he plays full time next season.
Guenther also plays really well. Great shot and provides a lot of offense.
But what I like the most is how well Bjugstad plays right now. Since his child was born He has been on fire. I hope this continues into the next season.

Woke up today very happy. What a night. What a game. It will be hard for Doan to ay like that every night, he battled the entire times and was constantly in the dirty areas. But we just saw what he can bring and it's something we desperately need. He out Booned Boone Jenner!
Was it just me or did it feel like he was playing center at times?

Pissed me off, yet again. Nothing say's I'm bored, or just don't care to pay attention, like the damned wave!

There was, I believe the king of proposals claimed they were of little importance.

Well, it rivaled the comeback against the Avs earlier anyway, but yeah seemed like it to me also, at least it did last night.
Letting him walk in with zero pressure soured me.

I had that thought. About him looking like a center and recalling he played center at ASU. Had the thought that he seemed like a nice stand-in option for Hayton on that Keller & Schmaltz line. But that’s a lot of stacked responsibility for the youngster.
Last year at training camp Doan and Geekie were one of the better players. I think most took that with a grain of salt since it was pre-season. I think Doan will be a shoe in to start with the Coyote's next year if he doesn't pull a Guenther at training camp, which leads me to wonder how far is Geekie from the NHL and could he maybe surprise us all next year?
Yeah, $97/month.

The thing about last night is that it shows why those of us die-hards stick with this team even though we are annually buried in a giant avalanche of the worst ghost pepper diarrhea by the rest of the NHL community.
Because if you give us even one truly good moment, like last night, with a kid who is one of us, like Josh Doan, you see what could happen if we could finally get the arena situation solved to go along with our (finally!) solid hockey ops department, our (finally!) promising prospect pipeline, our (finally!) competent scouting apparatus, and (finally!) non-grifting actual-money-having owner...
...well, if we ever get all that settled, the rest of the league had better watch the f*** out, because we're going to be ROLLING.

Received and filled my NHL survey yesterday. My answer to three words that describe being a Coyote fan were - Pain, Suffering and Disrespect and I wondered how many years previously I had possibly answered with the same exact words. Last night erased all that, if only for the time being, it was such an important night for the franchise and it's fans.

It occurs to me too that one of the reasons last night was such a huge deal was that Josh Doan is OURS.
For the whole existence of this franchise's tenure in Arizona, we have almost never had anything that's been OURS. The franchise itself was "stolen" from Winnipeg. The players, coaches, staff, etc. were mostly Canadian transplants. Even Shane Doan, who is in the conversation for the most memorable Arizona pro athlete of all time, is an import from Alberta. Hell, we're even playing in a borrowed arena right now. Everything we have had for almost the entirety of the team's existence here (a Dave Spina cup of coffee notwithstanding) has been borrowed - including time.
But not Josh Doan. Josh Doan is OURS. He's an Arizona kid. He was a Coyotes fan before he became a Coyote. He trained in the Arizona system, rose up through the Arizona ranks. And when he got to the big club, he immediately delivered.
I don't think you can discount the effect that having something that belongs only to us could have on this state's fanbase.

The second (Werenski's) goal right??
I thought we got caught in a bad personnel change. Someone was coming in way behind everything.

Such a rare opportunity to feel happy and fortunate. Yesterday was one for the books.
Now lets get that freaking land so Josh can enjoy being a Coyote without worry of relocating his entire career like his pops
