How does "bad team becomes mediocre team despite injuries" even warrant a thread? |
Arizona with a substantial amount of injuries and still battling for a playoff spot instead of pulling an Edmonton and sucking would be a story for me.
I follow the Coyotes since my family lives in Arizona still. They are playing due to hard work, reminds me a whole lot of the Flames in 14/15. I think they can make noise in the playoffs. In fact, I wouldn't mind at all if the Sharks grab the 1st seed in the PD if it means that they have to play against the Coyotes. The Coyotes have been giving them fits this whole season.
