Pestered by Coyotes....

For some reason, my boys have been unable to win at home since the All-Star game, and that trend continued this afternoon against the Phoenix Coyotes. Losing to the Coyotes especially hurts because they're one of the worst teams in the Western Conference, and we really needed the two points in the standings a win would have given us. I guess being coached by former King Wayne Gretzky gives them some insight on how to beat us at home.

On the plus side, Sully got a goal assist tonight and continues his point streak, so I have something to congratulate him about when I see him at Tip-A-King tomorrow.

Now for the opposing team Hotties. The Coyotes made the first choice pretty easy, combining looks, GREAT hockey hair, and aggressiveness into one package.... #13 Daniel Carcillo. Plus I have a soft spot for him because he's one of Sully's best friends from their years in junior hockey playing for the Mississauga Ice Dogs of the Ontario Hockey League. That was back when Sully had all his teeth :)



And second, because leadership looks good on a man, is team captain - #19 Shane Doan. He really won me over during the All-Star game - brought his kids, who are totally adorable, and celebrated with them in style. Now that's a great dad!



Drew retains his lead in the Lucky Jersey Contest...although it wasn't lucky enough to bring us a win tonight. Now the boys are off on an extended road trip, so we won't see them again on home ice until March 5. But if it's anything like our last road trip, where we won 4 of 5 games, it could be the best thing to happen to us this season. Because I still believe we can make the play-offs....

Travel safe boys....and GO KINGS!!!
