James Tanner: Coyotes Lose Pre-Season Opener

I thought Keumper was one of the best backups in the league?

I don't think anyone smart would dispute that. He posted a spectacular .932 with the Kings last year. If you want to argue about back-up goalies though, you'll have to wait till MLJ gets here because I do not care in the least.

So if he's so good, why is clear that Raanta wasn't playing last night?

Galchenyuk should pot in 30 goals as a 1C with keller, and 10-12 of those goals should come on the PP firing one timers. I'll miss him.

Still shaking my head with that trade.

As I said in an earlier post, the line to sign Kumpher wasn't very long, and for good reason. It looks like the back half of the best tandem in the NHL is a big question mark.

"I don't care!"

And the Yokes start getting tuned up for their annual march for the bottom. Problem is James you just don't understand what you are looking at. Franson should have been a lesson to you but it wasn't.

Ok couple questions....and I’m NOT trolling 1. Are you just filling in for someone? 2. If you aren’t why are you covering a team you have no interest in? Preseason is a time when fans are excited to look into the teams pipline, a look to the future. Just a tip but make mention of how the kids look on ice. That is what fans want to read, not how much you loath the preseason.

Hinostroza with an assist. Anyone watch the game and know how he looked?

There's really not much to say about this one, except that it's the pre-season and no one really cares what the score was.

The Golden Knights scored six times against Darcey Kuemper on 27 shots.

Oh i'm sure you would have cared if the results had been flip flopped... then the score would have been your main topic of discussion...

and like i told you last year, Kuemper is smoke and mirrors and is a complete head case. Good luck with him! Yes, he'll give you that 4 or 5 or so games where he looks like the 2nd coming of Jaques Plante, but the other dozen or so he'll be a complete confidence lacking sieve.

What would I do without the hockeydb.com?

watch the games?

I'm not sure he swings that way... I think you totally misread the situation.

Season's over. Pack it in and welcome Jack Hughes

Colorado is going to be a playoff team that selects first overall. Thought I only seen it in video games.. and almost the time Boston picked Seguin

Jimmy learned a long time ago that you don't need passion or interest, you just need to get everyone fired up so they click click click and post post post. Another hundo.

Someone is grouchy today, where's the Silly Tanner who pulls numbers out of his butt covered in fudge we expect.

I wish I could get paid for not showing up for work which was essentially what this blog was. Can I get some tips on that?

No one cares what the score is huh? All I know is if Arizona won 7-2 you would be starting on the Stanley Cup bandwagon.

Still shaking my head with that trade.

That's why I think the trade to Arizona will be good for him.

Nice quiet place...

...right next to the Mexican border...

Uh-oh.
