The Coyotes have lost two games in a row against what some hockey experts would call “easy” teams on their schedule. Oops. No such thing as a “gimme” date in Coyotes’ land.
Now the ‘Yotes face progressively stronger adversaries beginning with the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night. Unfortunately, they then host the talent-laden Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night and the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. Yikes!
The familiar mantras of “we need to play better” and “thankfully there are plenty more games to play” are stale. It might as well say “this is a recording and thanks for watching” at the end of the interview because there’s no sign of passion when those statements are made.
