Will also be wearing an alt Coyotes jersey.

Damn you! Where did you get it? Everywhere online was sold out when I looked (granted this was right around Halloween)

Smith is starting? Glad to have OEL back, bummer about Chip. That 4th line had a really good game on Tuesday, but Kennedy works hard, so maybe he can add more energy. Hopefully they feel some momentum after putting 6 on the board. Would like a fast start, not the same 1st period as Tuesday.

Trading Chip for Kennedy isn't so bad. Trading Korpi for Kennedy is pretty horrible though :laugh:

I know it's easy to rag on 4th liners sometimes but Chipchura has been one of my serious disappointments this season. He's regressed across the board after earning 3 year 1-way money.

Getting historically bad production out of Moss, Chipchura, and Halpern. Bottom 6 is actually where this team could use a heart change most.

I'm actually glad Biz is getting some ice time. I haven't noticed too much wrong with his game except maybe he could use a bit more jump. But he never takes stupid penalties, he throws some nice hits, looks before he passes so as not to put the puck on to the other teams stick, and will duke it out if needs be. Perfect fourth line guy.

Eklund (e6) is reporting that the Wild is considering forfeiting the points just on the brilliance of this GDT.

Fantastic work Sniper

Welp in my erm *simulation* of the game it ended in a 1-0 Wild victory. My first attempt had the Coyotes up 1-0 on a Klinkhammer goal but the game crashed in the second period. We'll just consider that one the real one for purposes of prognostication :thumbu:

Much better result during my own simulation; we are safe, guys:

I swear I saw a stat on twitter that had the Coyotes with a 13-6-5 record or something to that degree with Biz in the lineup. If that's true that is one hell of a stat.

We have about 20 of bottom six in the minors.

Chipchura out for tonight (day to day, lower body). Kennedy will replace him on 4th line with BizNasty and Halpern.

OEL is IN!! :yo:

Good deal;

This is an extremely important game. Minn is one of our main competitions for the wild-cards, we need to do everything to pull this one out. We'll remain ahead of them only if we get 2 points tonight.

Parise and Koivu are out. It's not going to be easy, but there is no better time than to gain a game on them, and to try to work on the tie-breaker in head to head with them.

Halpern has been the epitome of "no huge mistakes, no productivity, just wins a face-off and throws a hit" this year. Kennedy has played with the desperation and hustle of a career 4th liner. Biz is the exact opposite of Halpern -- despite the utterly non-NHL skill set, Biz does something every single game. Throw a hit, make a play, create a turnover ... SOMETHING.

Interesting line.

I've been impressed with him this year. Past years I would question why he is out on the ice, but this year I'm proud of the fact he plays as a Coyote. He works hard and isn't just taking up space.

Smitty is starting? We'll just forget about Greiss posting our only SO of the season in the previous game.

Brzygalov's buyout would pay for my season ticket for the next 30,000 years. Try:
Win lotto
Buy Coyotes
Profit

How many lottery winners wind up going broke? It's a sad state of affairs how many people don't know how to handle money.
