The 40 year old ‘tender of the netted twines’ has been outstanding these playoffs and when you need players to bounce back from a close defect Brodeur is your man….

Road Warriors Kings Defect Coyotes 4-0

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN ANYWAY! Okay, ‘Riddle me this Batman?’ (Alright I’m showing my age here) What do have when you get a team winning 7 road games in a row and non-factor player coming to life? Well for all you ‘Cape Crusaders’ out there you get the Road Warriors, aka the LA Kings and the guy in the cape who came out of no where to score a hat-trick (not one scored in LA playoffs since Gretzky ’93) Jeff ‘I Think I will Play Now’ Carter. Only in LA Baby, only in LA! After the first game the Coach here wrote that the Coyotes shouldn’t panic, time to re-group and come into the…

Coyotes

It’s Only One Game – Relax

THE MASTERMINDS BEHIND THE PLAYERS After watching last nights contest between the Phoenix Coyotes and the LA Kings and what I heard spoken about from both clubs you would of thought the Coyotes just lost game 7 and were done for the year. Come on guys, relax it is only game one, just do some reviewing and get back at it! Now don’t get me wrong here I’m neither a LA King nor Coyote fan, I really only want to see some good hockey played and coached but come on, 1st game there’s going to be some jitters from the rookies and that includes the coaches.

THEN THERE WAS FOUR

RANGERS – DEVILS – BRING IT ON! We can now begin with what most hockey fans feel will be the hardest fought semi-finals in Stanley Cup Playoffs history ever.

Lessons To Learn By Going Into Third Round

Well, well well…. I’m all messed up like a kit in a hail storm on all my Stanley Cup Playoff predictions aren’t I? I had said the Nashville Predators would go the distance and take game 7, WRONG!! I had said the St. Loius Blues would also go the distance against the LA Kings and win in game 7, WRONG AGAIN!! Cheez I’ll be surprised if I get out of the second round not going for the ‘Big O’fer’ as the Rangers and Caps are going into game 6 with the Rangers up 3-2 in games and the Flyers vs Devils, well again I look like I’m out to ‘pasture’ on that one as well,…
