  2. Can Brent Burns continue improving upon his plus/minus?
  3. Will the Coyotes know how to play in front of actual people?
  4. Ilya Bryzgalov is in net. He tends to play very poorly against the Wild (1-7, 3.42 lifetime). Will this trend continue?
  5. 8 shots against Washington, 0 against Carolina. Which Martin Havlat will show up?

Actually… It was Miss Minnesota USA tonight. She said “Let’s play hockey” waaay too fast. But, whatever…

End of 1. Wild 0 Coyotes 0

Coyotes have power play after the Worst Slashing call I have ever seen..

by TonyO on Nov 18, 2009 7:41 PM CST reply actions  

And I Mean Terrible..

Lepisto’s stick broke on a pass and Nolan’s stick just barely touched his right knee and thats a slash?

by TonyO on Nov 18, 2009 7:43 PM CST reply actions  

Worst call I have ever seen.

Ever. All time. He owes the team an apology.

I have no idea what angle that Ref saw

Seriously, it was obvious to the entire arena that Lepisto’s stick broke on the ice…

Difference? Probably not, but terrible none-the-less.. :(

One Mr. Steven Walkom

Now up on my list of biggest tools in the game with Fraser, Kozari, and Mourelli.

The Power Play SUCKS

No other word to describe it.

Multiple cough ups

multiple short handed shots by Phoenix.

Wow.

Two blown calls, and not even close.

This time an offsides that was called, and Belanger was no where near offsides.

They called a slash on Nolan

The Coyotes guy’s stick broke in half in his own hands, Nolan’s stick barely touched hi right knee. The Coyote was making a pass and leaned on his stick too much.

Resulting power play is where the Coyotes goal came from.

Oh...

Well that’s unfortunate. Thanks for the update.

A good team will come back from that bad call. :)

by fischean on Nov 18, 2009 8:18 PM CST up reply actions  

True that.

Can’t blame the piss poor play on the refs.

Havlat

With a very Gaborik-esque shot there. (Not in a good way)

Does it look like there are really a sellout’s worth of people there?

I live out in MA, but I caught that oilers/wild mega-comeback game 2 decembers ago, there were definitely some empty seats.

Yup. I thought a sellout was 18,656 or 18,565 or something?

Sellout "Sellout"

That was by far the most empty seats I’ve seen at a Wild game EVER. I guess “sellout” is 18,101 or something like that. Of course NHL “sellout” is just tickets distributed and not used. Obvious tonight

Let's Go Wild!

by redheadzeb on Nov 18, 2009 9:58 PM CST up reply actions  

So a couple more missed calls there?

I know I said a good team rises above that, but come on.

by fischean on Nov 18, 2009 8:31 PM CST reply actions  

Two more in a long string.

These refs are horse shit.

Yeah...

Remnants of Phil Cuzzi.

They can actually make a call!

Good rush at the end

But nothing.

by BReynolds on Nov 18, 2009 9:30 PM CST reply actions  

This.

I felt they really DID try at the end, but you’ve got to give that same effort in the first 3 minutes of the game as you do in the last 3.

Wild lose 3-2.

Brutal reffing. Brutal play. Just… brutal.
