WHAT I SAW : COYOTES (2) VS SHARKS (3) OT 2/2/19
PIZZA – Not sure if it’s the best thing to eat when you are
sick, but that is how it’s going down tonight.
OEL (23) – has totally passed me up regarding amount of
facial hair.
STEPHAN (21) – Overall a relatively quiet but flawless night
with 2 shots on net.
COUSINS (25) – Makes me want to go to the Maine Lobster
truck soon.
KELLER (9) – I like KELLER as a player, but his shot to pass
selection is off on a lot more nights than it is on. The good news is that Keller and his line are
getting plenty of shots and shots on net for this team are never bad. He lead
the team with 6 shots after 2 periods.
HINOSTROZA (13) – Had a straight on shot in the 2nd
and ripped it over the net. You can see his frustration on the bench, because
lately this guy is all compete.
POWER PLAY – Just put on some sound of crickets chipping.
PANIK(14) – Got
pushed into the goal in the 2nd. The puck ended up in the Sharks
net, but for some damn reason PANIK got called for goaltender interference.
This is the 2nd game in a row that the Coyotes got robbed of a goal.
If it’s important to get the call right, this one definitely was not. The last
one in Montreal , was pretty shaky as well, but not a strange as this one. To the credit of the refs, they did remember
that grabbing the opposing player and tossing him around like a rag doll, was a
actually penalty after that. We had 2 power plays due to it after that goal was
waived off.
WEAL (10) – Looked a little better tonight. 2 shots on net.
GALCHENYUK (17) – Made a few passes backwards in the
offensive zone rather than taking it deep into the zone himself. At last check
he was a forward, so …… Sadly he also missed the net several times tonight.
RENTED GOALIE – The Ducks are one of the teams the Coyotes
are in a race for the playoffs with. They gave up 6 goals in the 1st
period and 9 goals on the game. The
problem for them was they didn’t score 10 goals and ended up losing.
MAJOR TOM – When Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries disappear one man
is sent to bring them back.
ARCHIBALD (45) – Nice hustle on his goal in the 3rd.
The 4th line in general has been outstanding for several games now.
SUPER BOWL – My mom got me one of those for Christmas. It’s
got a candy cane pattern on it.
GARLAND (83) – His goal in the 2nd was absolutely
sick. I love it when this guy gets rolling, because he is exactly what you want
in effort and guts most nights.
LYUBUSHKIN (46) – Lost a puck in the offensive zone and San
Jose got a breakaway. KUEMPER made a phenomenal save, but the follow up rebound was put in. Those
kinds of plays kill you, but overall LYUBUSHKIN was solid.
KUEMPER (10) – Only 1 loss in regulation in 2019. To
be honest if we had a starting goalie right now, KUEMPER likely would have taken his place anyway.
WRAP UP – Yet another point and another super gutsy effort. With
Vancouver’s win tonight the Coyotes are still just 3pts out of a playoff spot.
They have a game in hand on Vancouver and Minnesota. Next games is against
Dallas who has been hot lately with 4 straight wins.
