Arizona Coyotes Take Road Show to Philadelphia for Thursday Night Clash

Arizona Coyotes Head Coach Rick Tocchet categorized the team’s performance in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday night as “sloppy.” The fast pace of the game was entertaining for the fans, as speed and skill were on full display, but success for the Coyotes cannot be achieved merely with speed and razzle-dazzle play.

Nope, in the Coyotes’ case, there has to be a method to their madness, and that involves coordinated effort and discipline. What’s “pretty” to adoring, supportive fans might give migraines to the coaching staff if the disciplined display of hockey goes asunder.

The ‘Yotes will need to play particularly well in the “D” zone to neutralize playmakers like Sean Couturier, Travis Konecny, Claude Giroux, and Jakub Voracek.
