At the beginning of the season, I wrote an 8-part series leading up to Opening Night trying to amp up Coyotes fan. The ‘Hype Train’ was meant to give us hope, excite us and energize us. I like to think I made a good effort. But the team did not.
In an extreme turn of events following the tremendous offseason moves made by GM John Chayka, the Coyotes fell flat on their noses. Despite having a stronger December and an even better January, they remain cellar dwellers in the NHL standings.
I feel bad for writing those articles; I felt like I pumped people up when clearly we were not as good as we thought.
