Every dog has its day... right???

Whew... its hard to be a Coyotes blogger (& fan) right now & try to find positive things to say when your team has lost 9 of the 10 games they've played since returning from the All Star Break. I even listened to the Xtra Sports 910 post-game radio show on the way home from the game last night for some inspiration. I got nothin'. But what I can say is that losing to the Oilers last night was not for lack of effort, or for bad goal-tending on the part of the Coyotes. Telly = Monster. If you could win a hockey game without scoring any goals, the Coyotes would be SET. Because we've got the "give it a lot of effort" thing down, its that pesky goal scoring that gets us. We just can't seem to bring it all together. When we're scoring, our goal-tending sucks. When the goal-tending is stellar, we can't score. And don't get me started on the power plays...

But on a good note- Kurt Sauer is back after his lower body injury that has kept him out far too long. It was good to see him out there protecting our blue line again. It makes me feel safer. As I mentioned before, Telly was awesome. He had his first start last night since January 6th. Having only won 1 of the past 10 games, you'd think that Telly would've seen a little more time in the net than has. Steven Goertzen continues to impress since he was called up from San Antonio. Joakin Lindstrom is quickly winning himself a place in my heart. He's a playmaker and isn't afraid to get out there and do what needs to be done. He was even chirping at a few Oilers last night. Way to go Lindy.
