We should safely assume both the coaching staff and the players were aware of the following coming into tonights game;
- The league wide lack of success from teams coming off the 5 day lay off
- The fact the Coyotes aren't a very good hockey team
- Where they sit in the standings
- The possibility that this was a huge let down spot considering the break and the opponent
Basically all the facts the team should have been plenty aware of that would prevent them from coming out and stinking the joint out, and they come up with a 5-0 loss...
