from Dan Bickley of the Arizona Republic,
...the beleaguered Coyotes took the ice for Tuesday night’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings with Ulf Samuelsson directing traffic from behind the bench. Gretzky probably was wishing he could watch his team from afar, except the Coyotes don’t have a television contract yet.
That’s too bad. Gretzky should’ve seen how pathetic it all looked inside Jobing.com Arena, with tiny pockets of loyal fans scattered throughout a giant hockey palace. The low turnout was expected yet ominous. The Coyotes didn’t spend a dime on preseason advertising, not with all of the uncertainty in the air. And maybe if the Great One saw it, he would’ve felt twinges of shame.
“Wayne . . . we’ve had regular communication,” Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney said. “He’s in a very difficult position contractually.”
No doubt, it’s tough being the Great One.
