The Coyotes have been to the playoffs at least twice in the recent past coz the Wings swept em in the 1st round last yr and beat em in 7 at the same stage a yr or 2 before that, and if Alice Cooper bobblehead night ain’t enough to get the crowds in then I don’t know what is, I sure as hell would drive half an hour for that 😛

I have a comment regarding the Red Wings’ winning streak being less important than those of the 1929 Bruins and 1976 Flyers because some wins were via the shootout. I actually feel the streak was more significant than the earlier streaks because of the parity in the league today. Back in 1929 there was far from equal talent divided among the teams and the Bruins only lost 5 games all year. In 1976 only 8 teams had winning records and, surprisingly, the worst team in the NHL was the Red Wings who won only 16 games. In today’s NHL, as we see every night, any team can beat any other. Just look at the weekly predictions in the Podcast Picks for evidence that no team is dominant. This streak is unbelievable and will not be broken in our lifetime.
