Phoenix Coyotes Insight : Shooting Straight from the Hip

Howlin' Good Quotes

"Our plan is not changing. When you add older, more experienced players, you’re taking away ice time from our younger players, and that simply isn’t going to happen."
- Don Maloney
On signing a big time scorer in free agency
The Coyotes completed step one this season: rebuilding the roster.
Step two would be the maturation of those young players while making the playoffs. That’s a real possibility next season, given that Brzgalov will be in net from the start and top pick Kyle Turris will be on the ice. "There will be inherently more expectations, and there should be. I expect us to be a much better team."
If the Coyotes do make the playoffs, Maloney said, the 2008-09 offseason would be the time to try to sign an elite talent who could transform Phoenix into a Stanley Cup contender.

Coyotes Pre Conditioning Camp 2008

1st day 2008 Doan camp 31 by Bleedin' Teal in AZ.Every year our intrepid captain hosts a conditioning camp prior to the regular season training camp. This 2008 year is no different as Shane played host to a veritable cornacopia of players from all aspects of the game.

From a local business man and former minor leaguer to Ollie Jokinen our newest transplant, there was plenty to see and get excited about on day 1. Watching a leaner, faster Peter Mueller, getting a better gander at Ahnelov, Boedker, McLean and Brodeur or sayin howdy to the non skaters like Jovo and Enver, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Surprise guests included our former agitating phenom Tyson Nash and a former stalwart from our blueline Nick Boynton.

There were probably close to 25 skaters out there and that number will increase as the rest of the guys start to arrive back in town. Anyway nothing really new to report on just encourage you to squeeze out an hour to go take a peek if you get a chance for a long lunch break or if you work anywhere near the Alltel Ice Den in Scottdale. You’ll really enjoy it and it sure is cool inside. The camp runs through September 12th. 10:45 to 1 pm
