Just Imagine If The Coyotes Offense Improves

from Paola Boivin of the Arizona Republic (Thursday edition),
This us-against-the-world business doesn’t fly forever. An NHL team can only diet on rejection and revenge for so long before its true identity surfaces.
Guess what? The Coyotes are morphing into a darn good hockey team.
They have won five in a row and sit just four points out of second in the Western Conference with a big game in Los Angeles tonight. They have a goalie who treats the crease like a high-security vault and a unit that has killed 19 straight penalties.
The offense continues to struggle, but it speaks volumes that the team is finding ways to win without it.
“That’s what’s most exciting,” Shane Doan said. “We’ve won five in a row and we haven’t scored a goal on the power play? Our offense hasn’t done anything. It’s only a matter of time.”

The best way for the Coyotes offense to improve is to hire a new coach. Anyone with any brain knows Dave Tippet plays a defensive only system, which limits scoring for both his teams and his opponents. The Coyotes are now becoming almost as boring as the NJ Devils and Tippet old team the Dallas Stars.
