Woo hoo! I'm a winner. I just won 2 tickets to Saturdays Coyotes game in a luxury suite from Xtra 910 (though sadly this means I wont be able to see ASU play). I also won Weird Al tickets- hooray for me!

Freddy Sjostrom came to play tonight. One of his goals was very reminiscent of his coast to coast goal against New York last year. He had two goals and might have shoved in a third (but credit was given to Reinprecht), and looked dangerous on a couple other plays. Hard to believe that he was a healthy scratch the first three games of the season. Martin Hanzal is one big dude and uses his size well. Opponents have such a tough time getting him off of the puck, congrats to him as well on his first NHL goal. Alex Auld also played well in the net, he probably earned himself another start for Saturday.
Freddie's shorthanded goal was fantastic and pretty much dashed any hopes of the comeback during the major penalty (BS call for a major/match penalty there. Talk about overreaction to some pretty bad acting!).
Good to see them scratch out a couple of points on the road this early in the season.
They played well for most of the night, but not well enough. Seems like that will be the story of the season. Peter Mueller got his first NHL goal, hopefully getting that money off his back is what he needs. He's been badly outplayed by Martin Hanzal, when most people expected the opposite. Mike Zigomanis had a ridiculous backhand shot on his goal, I had no idea he could roof it like that.
5-2 loss to the Red Wings tonight. Jovo was terrible, he was on the ice for four of Detroit's 5 goals. For your $6.5M defenseman, that just can't happen. A trio of rookies picked up assists in Hanzal, Mueller, and Winnik, and Morris and Reinprecht had the goals.
On to pleasant news, Kyle Turris (our 2007 first rounder, 3rd overall pick) is absolutely dominating in NCAA. He has 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in four games to lead Wisconsin in scoring. That is pretty much unheard of for a freshman to come in and put up those kind of numbers. Blake Wheeler (Minnesota) is also doing well, leading his team in scoring with 3 goals and one assist in four games.
Thankfully, Zbynek Michalek will be back for Thursday's game (as will Josh Gratton). Freddy Meyer cleared waivers and was sent to AHL San Antonio. David Aebischer is also on waivers after just one game (where he did just as well as the other two goalies, which doesn't say much). I thought that he had the best chance of the three goalies of sticking with the team.

I was excited when we signed him, i dont understand why he was only given one start.
