Time to light Smith up. It would be a dream come true to see this come to fruition. Though, to be completely honest, I am happy to see that he is playing so well for Calgary.
Quote:
I respect Mike Smith as a goalie and everything he did for the Coyotes. At the same time, I want to score on him 20 times tonight.
Quote:
Calling it now, Mike Smith gets a hat trick.
Quote:
Mike Smith's head will implode when we score on him because he'll try to death stare both teams.
Quote:
Holy ####, somehow I completely forgot Stone was on the Flames.
Quote:
We should have secretly stashed Stone in the minors for reconditioning and sent Campbell to Calgary.
Quote:
I think our scoring strategy tonight is going to be to play the dump and chase and hope Mike Smith ****s up.

Nothing would make me happier with this game featuring GREASE IN THE CREASE than one or more of the following:
...a Coyotes goal after Smith misplays the puck behind the net;
...a Coyotes goal off a rebound while Smith is posing for the cameras off the initial save;
...a Mike Smith dive - even if it results in a goal against our PK - because I respect the classics;
...#ButtGoal3: Back in the Crack;
...Smith basically playing his normal game, which means a couple of highlight-reel saves in a loss where his SV% is about .850.
Of course, given our franchise's luck, he'll shut us out and give us the patented Death Stare as he skates off the ice.
Quote:
My prediction is that we get stomped OR we dominate most of the play like we have surprisingly often this season and lose anyways. Either way, we lose.
Quote:
"The Coyotes know Mike Smiths weaknesses and they'll try to exploit them"
So basically we're shooting 5-hole all ****ing night
The non-goal that only Section 220 and the goal light dudes reacted to
Quote:
Whoever is in charge of hitting the red goal light screwed up
If those lights went off in error and distract the players on ice leading to an actual goal can the Coyotes protest that?
Quote:
Coyotes are familiar with Smith, so I'm not sure why we'd dump at center ice repeatedly when he can completely negate that with his stick handling…
Janko Unchained
Quote:
Good Lord. Terrible defense for Wedgewood just now. Just turned on the game and do the commentators always shoot the #### like this?
Quote:
Mkay that was pathetic.
Quote:
Man our dmen throw the puck away blindly too much. How many times do they try to just fling the puck out of our zone and it goes right to a opposing player?
Quote:
Jankowski could have pitched a tent in front of the net and made some s'mores.
Quote:
The Arizona Coyotes are why I drink.
Quote:
Lazy isn't the right word. That was the end of his shift and he clearly dug a little deep to catch a Flames player from behind.
He's just all about thinking, lurking, preying. He's like Vrbata in that he'll just hover around an opportune area but you won't find him putting in much board work. Hard to say if it's an unwillingness or a preference at this point.
Vision is still 10/10 with him. But with how the team is 'playing' right now, he has a very small chance to shine.

Why the almighty **** do all of our players hesitate so much before shooting? I would love to know the percentage of quality scoring opportunities that we've simply smashed into shin pads or redirected out of play from a defenders stick, all because they had to spend 2 seconds thinking about the shot. I suppose it doesn't really matter because lets be honest, those shots are all going high and wide even if they get through
Quote:
... Because when they don't they miss the net
Quote:
Calling my shot now, this is gonna be another OT loss.
Quote:
That would require the Coyotes score. Smith is posting a shutout.
Quote:
All we need to get back into this game is for Mike Smith to do something stupid.
Quote:
Stepan pls Alt+F4.
Wedgie MVP, he deserves some god damn help.
Backlund hammers the nail in the coffin
Quote:
The eye roll from Goligoski. Like, **** you dude. Do your job.
Quote:
Goligoski what the **** you absolute dolt that was your man
Quote:
Ugh. Wedgewood deserved better.
Quote:
3 defenders below the back redline is a good plan.
Quote:
If we get shutout by Mike Smith, they should just pack up and move to .. **** I dunno.. Argentina.
Quote:
If someone came from the future and posted that Stepan and Goligoski were not on the team next year, I wouldn't even ask about the return. I'd be excited about using the cap space on productive players that don't have dog**** attitudes. I think I counted a shift where Stepan made less than a half dozen strides in the defensive zone.
**** the both of them.
Even with y’all trying to jinx
Quote:
I can't believe we gave Smith a shutout.
Quote:
The Buenos Aires Coyotes, here we come.
Quote:
Are you REALLY surprised though?
Quote:
I love that the 3 biggest pieces we acquired this summer are either perpetually injured (Raanta, Hammer) or just showing up with little drive (Stephan). I love the we have a good forward being put in the press box while mediocre junk takes his spot. I love that some really promising players have been infected with Coyoteitus that dooms them to suck.
A combination of disappointing moves that look good on paper, bad luck, dealing with a new system, and players suffering by being players of a franchise on life support.
It sucks to constantly making tweaks that end up just putting this team in the same spot. ****ing Groundhog Day level **** right here.
Quote:
Sums up being a coyotes fan pretty well.
Sleeper Agents
Quote:
Did that? Are we? Pardon? Okay.
Quote:
I dont even know what to say. A damn good effort and we absolutely **** ourselves and literally slapshot it into our own net lol
Quote:
I'm not going to give him a break.
That's emblematic of everything that Kris Russell is. An endless ball of panic that turns and fires pucks willy-nilly because he can't imagine having to make a play.
Garbage hockey player.
Quote:
Kris Steve smith Russell
Quote:
That is the most Oilers thing ever.
Quote:
Russell giveth, Russell taketh away.
Quote:
Wrong net russ
Quote:
**** this entire team. Can't even win when you are the best team on the ice. ****ing garbage
Quote:
I'm ####in' mad. He makes bozo mistakes all the time, but they usually just result in extended zone time and ####. But this one was next level. ####. As if we needed to find more ways to lose.
Quote:
Wow, he slapped that harder than the first one.
Quote:
He couldn't have shot that harder into his own net. Like ####in ripped it by LB.
Quote:
That **** only happens to the Oilers. ****ing gross.
Quote:
I hope every Leaf fan in that building falls all the way down the doom escalator on the way out.
Quote:
I'm devastated, hockey felt fun again for about 30 mins there.
I honestly don't know why I put myself though this anymore, I have a young family and insanely busy life.

Strong effort all around. Was very impressed by the third line tonight. I was ragging on Bennett earlier today so I'll admit that I thought he was great tonight. We need to see that from him every night.
Janko's two goals were both beauties. He was playing with such confidence tonight. He's really coming along nicely.
Wedgewood robbed Monahan and Ferland a few times. Johnny was electric again tonight. He hasn't gotten the points lately but even still he's playing great hockey.
So nice for Smith to get that shut out. You could tell he was pretty pumped for this game. All around no complaints tonight. Except for maybe Stajan and Brouwer but I don't want to beat that drum tonight.
Since his horrendous start of 0G + 0A through 15GP, Sam Bennett has 1G + 5A in 10GP. If he can put the start to this season behind him, these last 10GP are something to build off of.
