from Jim Kelley at Sports Illustrated,
Just a week or so before the start of the season, I had the occasion to speak to Sean Burke, the newly appointed goalie coach of the Phoenix Coyotes….
“The Phoenix Coyotes are a playoff team,” he said. “I believe that, but more importantly these players believe that. They know they have to go out and prove it every night, but they believe in themselves. They believe they were on this path last season and they believe, to a man, they will succeed this season.”
Truthfully, they were then, and are now, in the minority on that subject. But after two starts this season—road wins at Los Angeles and, more importantly, Pittsburgh—they at least have my attention.
