Can the Phoenix Coyotes Stay Alive?


One team is already out in the New Jersey Devils, but it would probably also be heartbreaking if another really good team like the Phoenix Coyotes could see their season end so abruptly. However, the Detroit Red Wings are also a very good team, so there would be some heartbreak either way. The Coyotes did nothing in Friday night's game against the Detroit Red Wings at Jobing.com Arena. They lost 4-1, with only a goal by Ed Jovanovski, but the Red Wings were a little too much for a Coyotes team that hasn't been much of the playoffs for some time. But can the Coyotes bounce back and send this series to a game 7 back at Jobing.com Arena? There would be a yes or no answer to this. First the yes. They have a really good powerplay that can compete with the Red Wings. Second, they have a magnificent goaltender in Ilya Bryzgalov, who can keep this team up with them. Now the no. The Red Wings are a much more experienced team in the playoffs, and Game 6 is being played in Detroit, which is not a win-win for the Coyotes. Although, they did win in Detroit in Game 3, the Coyotes can't match up against the Red Wings who have Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen, Jimmy Howard, and many other players that can put the puck in the net. So, basically, it will end tomorrow night for the Phoenix Coyotes. I'm sorry to see them go in the first round, but the Red Wings will go to the second round, while the Coyotes watch the rest of the playoffs in Phoenix.
