NHL Games to watch 2/6/12

There's only one game to really watch tonight, unless you wanna see if James Reimer will continue his shutout streak, then go watch the Oilers play the Maple Leafs

Detroit Red Wings vs Phoenix Coyotes
This is probably the only game where both teams are jockeying for playoff position. The Red Wings come in with a huge goaltending problem now that Jimmy Howard will miss the next two weeks and the Coyotes have a chance to get within two points of the 8th and final playoff spot out in the West. The Red Wings aren't even going to their back-up, they're going to their call-up Joey MacDonald. The Coyotes will counter with Mike Smith who will be looking for his first win against Detroit this season. This is the final match-up between the two teams and the Coyotes would like to end it on a high note.

Thursday Afternoon Goalies - Week 8

So, Happy Thanksgiving, I hope ya'll had a wonderful time. Anyways, I'm late with the rankings no thanks to Black Friday. Good new is though, that the FEDs are done, so that'll be up for sure tomrorow. Also, had to deal with the picks and thanksgiving stuff... long story short, we all got a turkey and sides. Going back to the goalies, you've got your main dish (generally the turkey), you sides (second-tier), the sides you hate (bottom-tier), throw some cider there (fourth-tier, unfortunately, there was no alcohol in my household), and finish off with the pie (third-tier) and "boom" you've got your meal. Putting that in terms of goalies...

Analyzing the Red Wings - Coyotes series

So, the first series that ended was on 4/20. (Insert joke here) Anyways, the Red Wings swept the Yotes 4-0 and just from analyzing the series, there were a lot of things coming in that was in the favor of the Red Wings, but most importantly, the one thing that would've kept the Coyotes in the series didn't show up. You'll see what I mean.
