If the Yotes win this series, and go all the way to the Finals, it would be one of the best underdog stories in sports in a long time.



    There are honestly probably more Red Wings fans in Arizona than real Coyotes "fans." If the Wings/Coyotes series had been locked in when Phoenix playoff tickets had gone on sale (as opposed to them going on sale before it was known Detroit was coming to Phoenix), they would've been outnumbered in their own arena.

      Luongo was good in the Olympics, not great. Given his contract, he should be at least one of the top 3 goalies in the NHL and he's not.

      The truth is that he has never played beyond the 2nd round in the playoffs in the NHL. I have no problem saying Luongo is a good goaltender but he's not elite in my eyes.

      He was horrible last night and he was horrible vs. the Hawks last year. Last night was the 8th time he was pulled during a game this season.

        How is hitting somebody now considered "roughing?"

        Loved the obvious interference on Franzen that wasn't called a couple minutes earlier as well. I swear NHL officiating is such a joke anymore, worse officiating in sports as of now.

          old school NHL in Pens and Sens game..

          8 goals in the 2nd period and a ton of ticky tackey penalties, while blantent trips, roughs, etc are ignored. gotta love the nhl..

          also, what a play by Sid, take the body behind the goalline, catch up to the play, make a pass out in front for a kunitz goal. what end to end action you dont see from other superstars!! 4 points so far for Sid. also, what a redirect by Talbot on a pass from Adams..

              If they know their stuff, then who cares?

              How long does someone have to support a team before they can become your definition of a real fan?

              Also, questioning the credibility of Phoenix's fans has nothing to do with the original statement, which was that they would have more fans next year if they made a deep run. I agree, I think their attendance will increase next year for sure.

                  I'm talking about the fact that before they became good this year, they didn't exist, and just recently they magically popped up.

                    The point isn't about questioning the knowledge of the fans but the fact that if the people there consist of a large amount of fans of other teams what are the odds they will regularly find their way to games?

                    The sad reality of hockey is that not too many casual fans go to a regular amount of random games and most hockey fans formed their allegiances well before the Coyotes existed.

                    I mean, if I lived in Phoenix, I would certainly go to my fair share of games, but probably not enough to make a dent, especially depending on what ticket prices are like down there.

                      I don't think anyone can argue that they have seen an increase in fans because of the fact they're playing in the playoffs. I just think the assumption that there are more Wings fans than Coyotes fans in Phoenix is a little crazy. But then again, I don't live in Phoenix, and have no idea what the general consensus is down there.

                      With a deep run in the playoffs this year, they are going to get more exposure, which should lead to higher numbers. Then maybe they will be able to establish a better fanbase.

                      I'll be rooting for them to survive, and think it would be awesome if they made it deep into the playoffs.

                        I didn't say there were more Wings fans than Coyotes fans in Phoenix.

                            My bad, Arizona in general.

                            Who really knows, though. I've always been a fan of the underdog, and I think it would be a great story if they could claw themselves back.

                              What a garbage seris this has been. Ottawa's terrible goaltending is just, FANTASTIC! The refs have been working so hard. It is extremely difficult to miss all those calls in this seris. And the acting of the Pens amazing ability to sell off a move. I thought I was watching Monday Night Raw.

                              As you can tell I am BLEEPING pissed about this whole seris. Everything was just, TERRIBLE. Even Don Cherry was ripping through this. Enjoy the seris win Pens.

                                Maybe this year will finally put an end to the "Marty Brodeur's a better goalie than [insert chump goalie here], therefore the Devils are going to win this series" nonsense I hear and read every April.

                                Nah. Probably not.
