This one scares me...a lot

Anyone else?

Blues are a very tough team. Never a break when we are playing Western Conference teams. Yet another team we have to be smart against, and limit our penalties. They are 4th in the league on the Power Play. If we can stay out of the box, we have a chance. Who am I kidding, that's against any team!

I wouldn't mind seeing a Tippett style game one of these games.

 

[Summer Rose]

Let's win this one 1-0. 50 saves from Smith.

Sound like a plan?

I feel like this is the ONLY way we will win this one...don't see us winning a 4-3 or 5-4 game

I gotta say that even if we don't stay out of the box, we have a chance. Pretty sure there are several examples of that so far this season, this past weekend's game vs the Caps being one obvious instance.

I haven't noticed much at all about the Blues this season aside from their record, so I've got no comment.

Yes.. a plan to induce borderline heart attacks maybe! That will make for horrendous listening in the early morning here, won't complain though if it stays that score however! Could very well be a game of the goalies.

Oh I have no complaints about the way we came back against the Capitals, Shane Doan put the team on his shoulders I felt like with his hitting and want to get the puck back.

I just don't want that to be the norm. I'd prefer us to just win the game outright instead of a heart attack inducing comeback. I was on the edge of my seat in that 3rd period. A couple people next to me left the game early, but no way was I leaving. I'd just prefer to get the lead, and keep the lead!

No. Stupid. Penalties.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

As much as I don't like the Anaheim Galaxy, the Blues have had some moments vs the Coyotes that really stung me even more than losing to the Galaxy in the WCF. This team is a real ***** to play against year after year. I can only hope that our offense will be the difference maker vs them this season.

 

[JTPoni23]

I would be content with a point.

Don't understand why you guys are so scared. If anything, they should be scared of us, because we somehow keep finding ways to win games.

IMO this is their game to lose.

 

[Mossy]

If the coyotes go into the game with the same attitude as half these posts we lose. If they go in there thinking they're the best team we win the game.

I dare say that phrase roughly translates to "the Blues will win unless they decide not to." Is that what you meant?

I wouldn't mind seeing a Tippett style game one of these games.

Neo-Tippett style = take seven minor penalties in the first two periods, be down by five goals at the start of the third, and win in a shootout anyway.

Coyotes. Hockey.

Agreed

I don't know what I mean. Aren't they below us in the standings? Can't believe our whole forum is ******** their pants over this game. Have some pride guys.

At least we are coming back to win instead of choking away late leads. I love it that even when the team has a turd of a period they aren't out of it. Not even sure the team 2 years ago had that resilience.

Yup.... Coyotes Hockey.... get all the odds against you and then pull a win out of it.

Sometimes I think they're playing this way on purpose on purpose since they no longer have the ownership thing hanging over their heads and it made them feel out of sync.

You guys have played three more games than us and have 1 more point...we are 11-2-2, but yes you are ahead.

Should be a good game though...FWIW, I gotta feeling about you guys to win tomorrow. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I went into a Circle K on Sunday with a Yotes hat on; 30ish guy behind the counter asks me if I've been watching any games (well, yes), and follows that up with talking about how they keep getting behind, but then they always win...

Although it's not the preferred method of getting the two points, when the Circle K dude in Chandler starts talking Coyote hockey, maybe we have a little buzz going, eh?
