Typical Phil, low key - I think that'll be a good reason why he'll do well in AZ. Just give him the puck and let him do his thing.

Interesting they gave him the Kachina jersey. More signs we're moving back to that.

Too bad Tocchet couldn't be there too.

Phil is so pleasantly awkward.

I think it's just because it's more marketable at this point....the background and hat were still the current howling Coyote. I see the current jerseys and logo staying, with the kachinas in use here and there. Don't want to overuse them.

Just noticed Phil is only four games off 1,000 for his career. So he'll hit it in his first week or two with the new team. Biz would be pissed.

Huh? What does Biz have to do with that?

When Biz was with the Coyotes, a bunch of guys hit 1,000 games. When that happens, everyone on the team throws in $1,000 to buy the guy a fancy gold watch. Biz hated shelling out.

Happy to see the Team recognizes the player they have rather than trying to make him what he isn't. Phil does not crave attention so a quick and fairly quiet introduction is enough. Let him live the way he wants and I think the rewards will be there on the ice.
