It is with a heavy heart and bitter disappointment that I am convinced that the Coyotes will not make the playoffs. This season’s annual heartbreak is more severe than usual because the expectations for a playoff spot felt real, felt achievable, and not just a pipe dream.
But alas, at a time when the Coyotes should be battling their hearts out, doing everything they can and more to win, their game against the St. Louis Blues was an offensive dud and showed just what a stark contrast there is between those two teams.
The Blues are defending champions.
