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.
This is really good news, too. Thanks for posting.
I was thinking after the goal last night that the Coyotes really need to have a Rookie of the Year candidate soon. If they could have one in a couple of consecutive years, especially if they're scorers, we could see some serious improvement.
Nice to see Doan picking up three points (including his 200th goal) last night. He's always such a slow starter, but hopefully that will get him going soon.
Rick Tocchet is finally out of limbo and according to Bettman will be able to rejoin the Coyotes in February. It is strange that he isn't available to come back now, a 2 year suspension from the NHL for gambling on football is pretty hefty.

11 games in and it looks like my worst fears are a distinct possibility, that the team will finish 10th or 11th in the conference. In other words, the Coyotes won't be good enough to make the playoffs and they won't be bad enough to pick up a desperately needed impact player in the draft.

Considering they are 1-5 at home and most of the games have been close one goal games (some they probably should have won), this team may have a shot at the playoffs. They are young and they should only get better.
If the Yotes can deal Jovo for some more scoring talent, we may be on to something.
it's a tough conference to make the playoffs in - last year only 1 team got in with under 100 points - the teams don't appear to be as hot thus far though
i hope they yotes can make it - also they should be able to get an impact guy if they miss the playoffs, just in hockey it's not usually realistic to depend on them for the next couple of years
they have a couple guys who they currently own rights to that could join the squad in the next year or so that can help out - i think the club is heading in the right direction now

Another great win tonight to bring the Coyotes to 7-7-0. The entire division is essentially tied right now for first place gaining about a point per game played.
From a winning percentage view, the standing should have the Coyotes in 3rd place:
Dallas
San Jose
Phoenix
Los Angeles
Anaheim
Problem is that the NHL standing are based on points, not winning percentage, and some teams have played 17 games (Anaheim) while Phoenix has played only 14 games.
Three games in a row against San Jose coming up.

That is really close. I just wish is the NHL would continue to want to make hockey modern, then they should do away with the regulation tie column and go to a standing system like basketball and baseball with the g/b system.
