GDT: Game 9: Florida Panthers @ Arizona Coyotes | 19:00 AZ | BSAZX + ESPN 620AM

[Hogan20]

All I ask, Zach Kassian and Matthew Tkachuk go 8 rounds like a heavyweight boxing matchup.

Arizona holds a 19-16-3-2 record vs the Panthers split between their days in Winnipeg and Glendale including 3-7-0 in their last 10.
Florida is 5-3-1 coming into tonight converting 9.8% on the PP (29th) and 74.3% on the PK (27th).
Arizona is 2-5-1 coming into tonight, converting 30.0% on the PP (3rd) and 81.2% on the PK (11th).

Lines:
Verhaeghe - Barkov - Tkachuk
Balcers - Bennett - Reinhart
Luostarinen - Lundell - White
Lomberg - Staal - Hornqvist
Forsling - Montour
Mahura - Gudas
Staal - Kiersted

Keller - Boyd (why?)- Crouse

Other. I predict Christian Fischer. Gordie Howe hat trick.

Considering how well Guenther is playing Im guessing he stays up here. I get why you would want him back in the WHL but I think he is earning his spot.

 

[MIGs Dog]

I'm a pacifist. I vote for hugs.

No O'Brien of Ritchie in the poll??

I was in between meetings just throwing something together quickly.

There is a "other" option if you must.

I wonder what Tkachuk will have to say about Mullett. He's never been afraid to be outspoken

 

[Summer Rose]

"He added that when his dad, former Coyotes captain Keith Tkachuk, played in downtown Phoenix, there was an exciting atmosphere then. "There’s a lot of people that love hockey here, it’s just to have it in a location like this makes it that much easier for them to come to games.”

Not quite sure what I expected him to say, but this wasn't it lol. I guess he wasn't a fan of Glendale arena.

 

[Baby Doaner]

It’s good to hear all the positive things other players are saying about our barn.

I was this close to asking him. He blew his hot steam on the glass right in front of me just ten seconds b4 I flashed this. Didn't have my camera out at the time. Quite the character.
Impressed with this place. The only word to describe it is FUN. I want to go to a bunch of these.

 

[TheLegend]

Update.....

Kassian's out with a LBI.

Dysin Mayo is in.

I thought Bally Arizona fixed the tint? It looks horrible. Switching to Panthers broadcast. Haven't listened to the home crew yet this year ha.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

You east siders need to start going to these games.

 

[TheLegend]

That was a spicy post.

 

[AZviaNJ]

LOB drops the mitts tonight.

 

[TheLegend]

Boyd caught one high...

 

[Imaravencawcaw]

I don't want to jinx it or anything, but it looks like there's 2 actual NHL hockey teams playing right now.
