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?

Shane Doan Is A Little Tired Of Seeing The Coyotes Give Up

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 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 ...

This Fan Wants To Spend Other People's Money On Her Dumb Hockey Team
