Dave Tippett's teams tend to live or die with the goaltending. Of course poor goaltending wasn't the only reason that the Arizona Coyotes were terrible last season, but it definitely didn't do them any favors, and it likely won't do them many this season.
Goaltending is actually a much larger question mark this season for the Coyotes than even last year's numbers suggest, as this will be the team's first year without "Goalie Whisperer" Sean Burke as goaltending coach since 2008. Burke and the Coyotes parted ways this past offseason, and the Coyotes replaced him with Jon Elkin with the parent club, and Corey Schwab with the youngsters.
