Teams that are not in the playoffs:

The Coyotes situation:

  • The National Post tells you everything you need to know about the Coyotes issue.
  • Mediation 101 courtesy of the National Post as well.
  • Looks like there could be a local buyer in Phoenix that could bid on the team if given the chance.  (Writer’s note: After looking at these numbers, I’m not so sure anyone would want to do that.)
  • Phoenix versus Canada.
  • This whole Coyotes situation reminds Damien Cox of the Saskatoon controversy from years back.
  • Regardless of what everyone else is saying, Balsillie sure seems confident that his dream will come true. 

The AHL Playoffs:

  • The Moose’s ten-game winning streak came to an end last night, as the Houston Aeros won Game 4 of the Western Conference Final by a score of 5-4.
  • A rib injury will keep Byron Bitz out of the Providence Bruins lineup for the remainder of the AHL playoffs.
