[Prarievarg]

5-2 yotes. Keller with a 3 point night.

I'm ready! Let's go!!

From Craig Morgan...

Hayton and Capobianco will both be sitting out this game

 

[Mosby]

Hopefully scratching Hayton doesn't become a thing.

I honestly like him being scratched for game 1. Let him see what a full regular season NHL game looks like so he can absorb and learn, game 2 he is in. Id be willing to put money on it

no way I’d play Hayton against Boston. Not a chance. He should be playing this one and sitting out the next one honestly

Maybe that thinking is the exact opposite of what they want to do. You're going to get hit in this league and everyone knows it. Yes the bruins are the bruins and if you wanna find out how hard people hit in this league and how physical they play, it doesn't get much better than

4-0 Yotes

 

[Mosby]

Hayton watched a bunch of games last year.

Totally agree to a point. Coyotes are going to get outhit and out scored on Saturday though. Nothing to start your career off like a Brad Marchand nut check in your first game right?

Besides the fact that they're playing against Boston, he "earned" his spot. This isn't a 9 game tryout (or is it?).

The kid should be rewarded for making the roster and should play in game 1. If your first evaluation of the kid is a very likely ass kicking to the hands of Boston, he's probably going to sit a ton more. You play him game one, see if he needs a game to watch from the presser, and you give him a night off against the big bad bruins.

If he's the best player against Anaheim tonight, you don't bench him game two against Boston.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I agree...he should be playing tonight...which leads me to believe he will get moved back to the SOO after his 9-games unless he tears it up and he'll have a hard time doing that from the 3rd/4th line.

 

[CBJ goalie]

And so begins the Los Yotes era.

Pumped for this game - hope to see some opening night magic with Schmaltz, Kessel, etc

 

[Name Nameless]

Anaheim seems to be a small favourite here with the bookies, I don't know why .

No spoortsbook-event on the game.

Hoping for the Yotes to show this teams go far. And yeah, more goals than last year would be good.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I'm just hoping the PP isn't as bad as it was in preseason...I'd like a win to start the season.

He'll be in Arizona all year. And based on last year's average, at least one forward headed to IR after tonight, which opens up a forward slot.

Either way, he likely dresses against Boston.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Anaheim seems to be a small favourite here with the bookies, I don't know why .

1. Anaheim's playing at home.
2. John Gibson
3. and if memory serves, the Coyotes haven't won a road opener since Max Domi was a rookie.

 

[moosemeister]

John Gibson will be the reason why we lose this game.

Or going 0-183 on the PP.

Hayton obviously has not secured a roster spot. 50/50 its a 9 game stint.

 

[Name Nameless]

Yotes 4 - Ducks 1. Goals: Hjalmarsson, Fischer, Grabner (SH) and Soderberg (EN).

Someone scores for the Ducks. Deflected and hopeless to save, but still very annoying for Kuemps.

This may have been true in the past, but the Bruins have moved towards a more speed and skill-based team makeup. They were squarely in the middle of the league in hits per game last season. Lower than the Coyotes in fact. The "Big Bad bruins" are not really either thing anymore.

 

[BUX7PHX]

I have Cox. DVR. It’s set. I’ll be in Michigan though. Anyone know if I can access recorded games remotely?

Do you need my ESPN+ account?

[Bonsai Tree]

Oh be nice.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I would definitely play Hayton against the Bruins - its not a 4 point game. They're an Eastern Conference team.
