Just woke up... what'd I miss?

 

[Tom Polakis]

My jabs at Crackheads aside that was a wild game. Started and ended with a flurry of goals. Still want to dig into NHL records and see if I can find the quickest goalie pull for a NHL game.

GRA must have been prepping for a low turnout. Half of the concession stands were closed. To my horror Power Play Poutine was one of them. I wanted to see if the gravy would be on the bottom again. The new Koran BBQ place was decent.

Good luck with Googling that. Don't use the word "pull" as I did, or you get a bunch of hits for pulling the goalie for the extra attacker. I asked in rt's main-board thread, but not many are going to view a thread about the Coyotes that's good news.

 

[MIGs Dog]

45 hits seems like a big number. It is. Only one game this season was a team credited with more hits. Not THE key to victory, but demonstrates level of effort IMO.

 

[Hogan20]

Went to bed down 3-1. Woke up this morning to see they won 5-4. It’ll be a good Sunday. Everything tastes better after a win

Alarm clock woke me up at 3AM (European time), watched first minute, turned around and woke up with first win. Happened already worse things in life
How was Hayton this game?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Anyway Hayton would be a much better player if he hit the gym and put on another 10-20 pounds or so, hopefully he does that next year or two.

He's already bulked up a lot - I don't want to see him become another Peter Mueller case. What I'd rather see him do is work on his aggression in close and his stability on his skates. I don't see him approaching one-on-one battles with confidence and authority, and more muscle won't help that.

 

[Jakey53]

What do you want for $3 mil?

Usefulness, not useless.

 

[Jakey53]

I'm starting to miss Rick Tocchet.

DO NOT even go there.

 

[Jakey53]

No… he needs to keep shooting.

He needs to clear his head…. Starting with taking a crowbar to pry it out of his ass, then relax and play simple.

Chich just needs a little luck. He is getting the OEL treatment this year.

No idea if factual??

 

[Jakey53]

Hockey is actually fun! Did you know?

When you win.

 

[Jakey53]

Agreed: Eriksson brings nothing to the table, doesn't score, doesn't hit, worthless

The sad part he isn't the only one.

 

[Jakey53]

BTW- Chychrun was terrible on two of the goals against. Both plays were weak and bone headed behind his net.

That's what happens when you are struggling, but also having different partners every other game. I wonder who had that role last year? Chychrun will be just fine.

 

[BAdvocate]

Woot woot! Moving onto game 9 of the season! Finally!

 

[Bondurant]

No idea if factual??

Good stuff! Still cannot find anything. This is the most "concrete" info thus far.

A couple of random bits of info from last night. There was a trickle of people leaving after the 1st period. Understandable but also really early. While I am not superstitious that is something I am weird about. My thoughts upon seeing this was "they will win now".

There was a drunken "one and ten" chant on the concourse of the upper bowl after the game. A very annoyed GRA employee said "this is why I don't drink". Then there was a brief "F@#! Seattle" chant and said GRA employee said "Good game, Seattle" to a group of Crackheads.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

At least they didn't wait to come out of the woodwork until after winning a championship like Seahawks fans.

And no poutine. I went all the way up there to discover they were closed. I think the damn arena management company is attempting to stick it to the Yotes because many stands were closed throughout the arena. Missed opportunity, with a strong crowd.

 

[Hogan20]

After rewatching some of the game, the guys looked really happy/relieved to finally break the floodgates open.

Boyd looked so relieved when he scored in the second and Crouse might be the happiest man in the world right now.

It's been a hard season. It's awesome to see these guys pumped up.

 

[schnaurt]

Was at the game last night. The third period was amazing and overall the best game I have been to in a couple years. It might just seem that way due to the start of the year. Hahaha.

The joy on the players faces when Crouse scored the game winner says it all. They do care and I enjoy the effort and style of game being played. Hopefully they can get a couple more wins so they have something to build off of just so they maintain this type of effort.

We all know they lack talent but you know what you get with this team. It is much less frustrating than the last 2-3 years under Tocchet.

Nice win boys, enjoy the moment and continue fighting.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Attendance was 15,045. Pretty good for the worst team in the league.

And no Jakey…. Too grumbly to go!

That is an angle I had not considered. My thoughts were anticipating lower crowds due to the tank. Perhaps there are forces wanting to ensure to experience of going to a Coyotes game is not optimal. Crackheads next to me spent the entire 2nd intermission plus 5-10 minutes of 3rd period just to get 2 cocktails.

Could be, but what a poor decision - Saturday night, military appreciation and first time in AZ for an expansion franchise. I don’t think that call is on the team either.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

The crowd was elated, I don’t remember the last time it was as loud in that arena. Honestly could have been way back after a playoff victory. Put a smile on my face..

I am preparing for other poutine options since Coyotes games will no longer be reliable. Finding more places in the valley that serve poutine now. North Mountain Brewing and Angel's Trumpet seem the most viable. Welcome Diner has a poutine variant served with sausage gravy. Angel's Trumpet has a hefe on tap on want to try. Will walk over for lunch and get the poutine (The Mess on their menu).
