James Tanner: Coyotes Bring Great Effort and Almost Upset Sharks

You do know everyone has injuries right. Wow a bazillion games lost, must be a record for sure.

I don’t remember, have the coyotes had any players miss games this season due to injury?

Hossa. Well not an injury but does it still count?

For sure - the Oilers would be comfortable in a playoff spot with a healthy Klefbom.

Injuries are a huge factor for every team, however, when a team goes significant portions of the season without their top two centres, without their #1 goalie, and three of their top four D for significant periods......

I think you are missing the point. It might be time to maybe talk about something other than injuries. Its a valid excuse for sure but like my oilers lack of depth is what really hurting both teams.

Phil Danault .66 ppg Al Galchenyuk .61 ppg Come on Tanner. This does have to give you a giggle. Never mind Domi. I'd rather have Danault

Danault must also be very lucky!

I thought that goalie interference call could have gone either way. Was close. He clearly clipped Jones, but it wasn't obvious if Braun helped push him into Jones or not.

Sharks definitely looked flat footed and the Coyotes looked good.

Gotta kinda wonder if the Ducks wouldn't be a "hilarious abomination" if guys like Fowler, Silfverberg, Kase, Perry, Eaves, Rakell, et al hadn't all missed significant time due to injury...

You maybe missing the point here????
Injuries are an excuse only applied to the Yotes

The Coyotes were missing 37% of their starting lineup, which included their two best centres, their starting goalie and best defenseman.
- James_Tanner

Wait...their starting lineup consists of two centers, and 4 out of 6 equals 37%? Is this the new math?

Maybe if they had a good coach, but their record, such as it is, is massively inflated by their goalie being amazing. Obviously injuries hurt them, but they're never going to be any good until they have a coach. Also, when your best forward is Kase, you're in trouble.

Maybe if the Yotes had a good coach(and GM) their record would be better? Also when your best forward is Keller, You have bigger problems then injuries!
