Coming off a sobering, disappointing OT loss to the Calgary Flames (9-7-2) on Tuesday night, the Arizona Coyotes (9-4-2) plan to bore the visiting “anything-BUT-boring” Columbus Blue Jackets into submission by playing dull, boring hockey.
Here are the specifics of the game plan (please don’t leak it to any non-Arizona Coyotes personnel) Head Coach Rick Tocchet will have the Coyotes’ starting goalkeeper effectively (but dispassionately so as not to raise suspicion), and with no malice aforethought, save every single exciting shot taken by the Blue Jackets players while the 5 Arizona Coyotes’ players will boldly, and without showing any noticeable emotion, have the nerve to collectively defend their “D” zone as a unit.
