Last night we ventured out in the winter storm to get to Buffalo Wild Wings so I could watch the Coyotes whoop the Ducks tails. And boy did they. The Coyotes won 4-0. Did the Ducks even bother to show up for this game? Coyotes fans got our Christmas present early. We love watching the Ducks lose!
The best part was when half way through the 3rd the Ducks switched goalies. Really? Really. It’s not the goalies fault that the Ducks couldn’t score. Ok, well it was technically Bryz’s fault but he is no longer a duck. He is a proud desert dog!
Bryz with his 5th shutout of the season! Wow, this is the Bryz that I thought we got a few seasons ago, not the lackluster one of last season.
So who got the 4 goals?? Uppy (I’m telling you that line is on fire. Doan wants in on the Wonder Twin powers). Marty! Seriously, from the blue line. DAMN. Taylor and Lang, both with assists coming from Mueller. Mueller has really played some great hockey these last two home games and it’s starting to show. Keep it up Mueller! We love you but we need you to produce like you did your rookie season. No more excuses.
The Coyotes looked really strong in the 2nd. They actually played a full 60 minutes of hockey. They were not going to sit back on their lead and let the Ducks play catch up. This is the kind of effort we need every night. The other keys? We won face-offs, lots of them. We also got a power play goal, which Mueller got the assist on. See? If you work on those key things, you win games. Why don’t you boys listen to me more often??
