Canucks (1) @ Coyotes (2)

Far too much dwelling on the negative surrounding this team right now, especially when most of the negativity is manufactured. The 1st place (remember this) Canucks take on the Blues tonight at Rogers Arena.

The Phoenix Coyotes finished off their amazing franchise record month by beating the Vancouver Canucks in a shoot out. Mikkel Boedker's masterful goal during Bettman point time sealed the deal....

The Coyotes came from behind to win it in a shootout against the Vancouver Canucks, preserving their third place spot and giving them a record of 11-0-1 for the month of February.

The Phoenix Coyotes have just one game to play in February, a month where they have gone 10-0-1. If they get a win tonight they will have gone the entire month of February without a regulation loss, a truly amazing feat.

Panic, tears and outrage after the Canucks send Cody Hodgson shufflin' off to Buffalo. So is the emotional outpouring justified, or are people missing the fact that the Canucks addressed all of their needs heading to the postseason by moving out someone from their deepest position?

A look at which NHL trades at the deadline could have an impact in the postseason, the Coyotes remaining schedule, and the best Desert Dog currently out of the lineup. This week's special guest is Coyotes play by play announcer Matt McConell.

A quicker than usual intro today, because the long drawn out write up I had written in my head about all the moves Don Maloney made at the deadline evaporated yesterday at 1pm (and that's a good thing). Tonight the Coyotes take on the Canucks. The Canucks are the only team so far to defeat the Coyotes, albeit in a shootout, In February.

So this can go bad. The Canucks can be held off the scoresheet and the wails and finger pointing will commence immediately. But really, this team has not put out a full 60 minute all that often and gets bailed out by goaltending too often.
