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.
