Prior to the 2010 Olympic games, the New Jersey Devils became the lucky recipients of Russian sniper Ilya Kovalchuk in a major trade with the Atlanta Thrashers. Once the NHL season resumed at the beginning of this week, most speculated that there wasn’t going to be too much on the market due to heavily contested [...]
GLENDALE, Ariz.- The Calgary Flames earned points but not victories in back-to-back shootout losses to the Dallas Stars Wednesday and the Phoenix Coyotes Thursday.
Dallas’s Alex Auld and Phoenix’s Ilyz Bryzgalov each continued the reign of terror opposing goalies have inflicted on the anemic Flames. Dallas coach Marc Crawford told the Associated Press that Auld “won [...]
It’s come to that time of year where I am getting nervous. Flashback to last year where the Phoenix Coyotes were sitting pretty in 5th spot in the Western Conference and spirits were high. The All-Star break came and things went south, far south and fast. So, as we go into January this year in [...]
Coming off of losing five straight games, the Sharks bounced back with three
wins. Prior to the Christmas Break San Jose played two road back to back games where they dropped the Stars in Dallas 4-2 and the Blackhawks in Chicago 3-2.
After the Christmas break they took on the Anaheim Ducks at home winning 5-2. Even [...]

The outward appearance was different but when he signed up for the AV club and still hung out with the pocket protector crowd you knew nothing had really changed.
Although [...]
The 2009-10 hockey season marks the 30th anniversary of the merger between the National Hockey League and the World Hockey Association. It was the last time that such a unification has taken place in a major North American sport…
As we roll into the holiday season the Coyotes are boasting a 4 game winning streak. Starting on Black Friday (which of course is the true start to the holiday season) against the Dallas Stars, the Phoenix Coyotes have pulled out games of great play.
The keys? Hard to say but each member of the [...]
At this time of giving thanks I am grateful that the Phoenix Coyotes are still the Phoenix Coyotes and not the Hamilton Blackberries (referring of course to the defeated Jim Balsillie) and also grateful that November is coming to a close!
With injuries an issue at the beginning of the month keeping Ed Jovonovski and Zybnek [...]
Cue the Clint Eastwood duel scene music because the financial situation with the Coyotes just gets scarier and scarier.
The Bad – The team got bailed out of bankruptcy by the NHL who is now in control and looking for a buyer. Despite Gary Bettman’s grandiose statements, nobody in Arizona (or anywhere else for that [...]
