The Coyotes are already scoreboard watching with 25 games to go. Their lack of victories has put them in a position to watch the rest of the Western Conference and hope that those teams lose while the ‘Yotes try to limp into, or maybe back into, the playoffs in any way then can. Wins would help.
It’s a shame that the Coyotes need to be good, but aren’t, at the very point in their season when they should be trending upward. As of this writing, they are not even worthy of a wild card spot. This is where the “glass is half full” fans chime in with “we’re still in the thick of things,” which is true for now, but not for long unless the Coyotes can compete with and beat the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and the Washington Capitals, who they play this week!
