Hi, Would You Like To See A Metaphor For The Coyotes' Season?
The 2016-17 Coyotes season highlight DVD will just be this on loop for an hour....
Gary Bettman: Coyotes "Cannot And Will Not Remain In Glendale"<em></em>
If I can’t keep track of the various twists of the NHL’s attempts to succeed in the greater Phoenix market—and it’s kind of my job—how can I expect you to? All you need to know is that it’s been an economic disaster for the last two decades, and the future of the Arizona Coyotes remains as insecure ...
Shane Doan Is A Little Tired Of Seeing The Coyotes Give Up
It is an axiom that hockey players rarely have anything interesting to say. Especially once they’ve been around as long as Coyotes captain Shane Doan, they’ve mastered the ability to engage autopilot and just spout a beige stream of bromides until the reporters haranguing them for quotes have fille...

Report: Arizona Coyotes Exploring Possible Relocation To The Pacific Northwest [Update]
The Arizona Coyotes are not happy with their situation in Glendale. The team had the framework of a plan to move to Tempe until late last week, when Arizona State pulled out of a potential deal. Taxpayers still owe $150 million on the Coyotes’ 14-year-old stadium, but owner Anthony LeBlanc is going ...
The Coyotes Want Taxpayers To Pay For A New Arena In Tempe
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Arizona Coyotes are a hockey team that nobody really wants....
The Arizona Coyotes Plan To Hire A 26-Year-Old As Their General Manager
The Arizona Coyotes will name 26-year-old John Chayka as their new general manager today, according to the Associated Press. He will be the youngest GM in NHL history....
Coyotes Dress Bank Manager As Emergency Goalie
There may not be a more charmingly ad hoc tradition than hockey’s emergency goaltender. If one of a team’s two goalies gets hurt or otherwise incapacitated before a game with not enough time to fly in a backup from the minors, the NHL maintains a list of potential goalies in each city—older guys wit...
NHL Reverses Course, Lets John Scott Into The All-Star Game
Although the Coyotes traded All-Star John Scott on Friday to the Canadiens, who promptly sent him to the AHL, the enforcer will still play in the All-Star Weekend’s 3-on-3 tournament. The NHL announced today that Scott would remain as the captain of the Pacific Division for the season break in Nashv...
John Scott Gets Screwed Out Of His All-Star Spot
Today’s three-way trade involving the Coyotes, Predators, and Canadiens will have little impact on the teams’ rosters, but it will affect the NHL’s All-Star Weekend on Jan. 30-31. Former Coyote John Scott, who was voted in as the Pacific Division’s captain, most likely won’t be in Nashville for the ...
John Scott, Who's Been Waived Three Times This Year, Will Start The NHL All-Star Game
A few weeks ago, we told you about John Scott’s unlikely lead in NHL all-star fan voting. Despite being a fairly anonymous dude, and getting cut by the Coyotes a few times this year, Scott held onto his lead and has officially been voted into the game, and will start as one of the four captains, alo...
The Strange Case Of John Scott And The NHL All-Star Game
John Scott is an NHL player (well, sort of) whose most marketable skill is that he’s 6’8” and willing swing on anyone. He’s bounced around between six teams in as many years, and he’s scored five goals in his career. And yet, Scott is the leading vote-getter in NHL all-star game fan voting due to a ...
Report Says Coyotes Are Moving To Vegas, But NHL Calls It "Garbage"
Here’s a fun one. According to the New York Post—not necessarily the first place you look to for important breaking hockey news—the Arizona Coyotes are getting a new owner and will move to Las Vegas before the 2016-17 season:...
This Fan Wants To Spend Other People's Money On Her Dumb Hockey Team
Sports’ very existence relies solely on appeal to emotion. So it’s hard to be too critical of the passionate Coyotes fan who tore into elected officials as the city council voted to cancel the Yotes’ arena deal. But it really was a terrible argument on her part....
Glendale To Vote On Canceling Coyotes' Arena Deal
Last week, before Game 1 of the NHL Final, commissioner Gary Bettman declared of the Arizona Coyotes that “the club is not going anywhere.” Tonight, during a special session that should begin right around the first intermission of Game 4, the Glendale City Council will vote on whether to kill its co...
In "A Whole New Low," Buffalo Fans Cheer Sabres' Loss
Above is video of Sam Gagner's overtime goal to put the Coyotes over the Sabres. The game was in Buffalo, yet the crowd cheered the Arizona winner. Cheered loudly, and spontaneously, to the point where if you're not a hockey fan, you might wonder if Coyotes fans travel particularly well. (They do ...
The Blackhawks Somehow Managed To Not Score Here
Major weirdness in the closing seconds of overtime in what would turn out a 3-2 shootout win for the Coyotes in Chicago, as the Blackhawks had two sterling chances—one of which I'm still not convinced wasn't in—get waved off, one of them even surviving a video review....
Nothing Like A Well-Executed Hip Check
What's better than a clean hip check, like this one by Senators defenseman Marc Methot on Coyotes winger Lucas Lessio Saturday night? A man flips upside down, falls on his ass, and doesn't get hurt. No one even tried to fight Methot after his hip check, because they knew it was flawless....
