Knee jerk reactionary coaching reeks of desperation. I hope they don't fire him because I don't want the Jets to even have the option.

Lots of rich people nearby. They will see these games as exclusive events for a select few, and be more inclined to come out now that they don't have to drive clear across town to (spit) Glendale.

Is that how you believe rich people think? Going to a sporting event that's not popular in the state in a small arena would feel small time. It's why you see rich people courtside in packed NBA arenas and in luxury boxes at 70,000+ seat stadiums and why you won't see them "avoiding the poors" at some hodunk university arena watching a bad hockey team.
They've got the Suns and Cardinals to compete with for most of their season. I'm not sure even Bettman could come up with good reasoning behind not selling out a 5,000 seat arena consistently.

OK, maybe not the rich rich. But there are still more well to do folk with lots of disposable income in that area, and the Coyotes have built up somewhat of a fan base. It's just the location in Glendale that deters a lot of these people. I expect they will be able to fill that tiny arena.

I'd love to see the Wild win. With Evason as their coach I have a soft spot for this team. Goaltending is the backbone of the Wild, but St. Louis seems to beat Minnesota regularly, especially on home ice. I think the Wild are gunning for home ice advantage, but if you can't win in St. Louis probably don't win the series.

The games to watch tonight involve Western Canadian teams. If the Stars lose to the Flames, and get swept going through Western Canada, they open the door a little. Vegas would be sitting 2 points back, each with 78 games, and they meet on Tuesday in Dallas. Vegas wins that game, they own the tiebreaker, head to head.
Vancouver in Minnesota tonight. They have to keep pace with Vegas, having the worst ROW of all the remaining teams, and win 3 huge games on the road (Wild, Oilers, Flames) to have any chance.
Dallas wins tonight and it could be a preview of the 1st round matchup.

I think I would find a Vegas-Tampa final extremely entertaining. Not so much the games but the reactions of outrage on this board.
Dirty, rotten cheating scum...

I don't know if some people will jump on the Vegas bandwagon, I mean that's team Manitoba with Kelly Mc Crimmon over there. I'm predicting a Florida-NY Rangers ECF, I think the West is open. Not sure the Avs get the goaltending to go the distance. I think there's a chance Calgary comes out of the West, call me crazy. Decent chance the Battle of Alberta gets one team to the WCF.I think I would find a Vegas-Tampa final extremely entertaining. Not so much the games but the reactions of outrage on this board.

Calgary has scoring, defense and goaltending they have a real good chance to make it to the Cup finals.
Out of all non-Winnipeg Canadian NHL teams, they are probably the ones I could tolerate winning the most.
He's had hot streaks here. Idk if this type of pace will last, however he's tilting the ice heavily in NYRs favor when he's out there, which isn't unusual for Copper

He gets to play with Panarin which helps
Also he's always been able to score at times
He seems to fit in well there, so hope he keeps up the hot run

I honestly don’t think he can keep up this offence but it will sure help his bank account.

He's also trying way harder. I've watched a few rangers games and he's completely exhausted working his butt off every single shift.
I don't think Copp ever dogged it here. I'd say he was one of our more consistent players in terms of effort, notably at Fwd

It’s easier to dig deep and give extra when you’re surrounded by 15 or so others doing the same as opposed to what it was like here in Winnipeg where on any given night it was only a select few giving an all out effort.

Coop is a jack of all trades hockey wise and has reacquired his scoring touch, simply he priced himself out of Winnipeg and unfortunately that's a net loss for the Jets
ooooohhhhh. Leafs losing 7-1 to their first round opponents. Sign of things to come, I think!
