Tuesday’s Take: b. Lee

Here at HockeyWorldBlog.com, we strive to bring some information that we feel you the reader will find valuable. Be it Eddie’s knowledge of all things hockey, Matt’s sneak peek of upcoming gear and equipment, Chris’ well written articles that makes the rest of our writing look like a 6th grade book report, or perhaps even my ruffling of feathers of the likes of Minnesota Wild fans. More importantly, all four of us look to interact with you the reader.

We are in our second year now at HWB and we value our audience, especially those who like sharing their opinions. One of those commenter have gone a miss and we are beginning to become a little worried. The name is b. Lee.

b. Lee was one of our very first active readers and commenter. As another one of our VIP readers and commenter mentioned, Tony A, we miss b. Lee’s ability to take any situation and turn it into the, well… put b. Lee’s own spin on it.

In a heart felt plea, in the most manly way of course, if anyone knows the whereabouts of b. Lee, please let b. Lee know we miss him/her.

So, readers know that at HWB we value your reading and comments. Be it here or on our Facebook page. And if you go a stray, like b. Lee, we may even write an article about you as well.

Coyotes in Detroit

Tonight the Phoenix Coyotes visit Joe Louis Arena to go against Conference competitor the Detroit Red Wings. The two teams have met three times already with Detroit taking two out of the three.  Will the Coyotes clip the mending Wings, or will Detroit fly away with the “W”?

Detroit is coming off of a tough loss to the Los Angeles Kings. That loss has leap frogged them the wrong way. The Wings are currently in 8th place among the conference with 58 points, due only in that the Calgary Flames are sinking fast within the Conference (1-8-1 in last ten).

A ray of hope shines for the Wings as defenseman Niklas Kronwall returns to the lineup. One thing to look out for though is every time an injured player comes back to the Wings lineup, another person goes down.

Phoenix sits 5th within the Conference at 63 points. Looking pretty good right now, however goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov is showing possible signs of wear and tear with only 4 wins and a 3.38 goals against average in the last month. Not to worry though as the offense has scored an average of 3.6 goals in their last 5 games.

Tonight I will be in attendance with Tony A., a long time reader, responder and a Barbie doll collector. Hopefully we can agree to disagree on the outcome.

On a different note, rumors of where Ilya Kovalchuk will land before the trade deadline are circulating. Yet no rumors of possibly moving to Phoenix? Hmm…  Phoenix does have the largest cap space currently and would be able to afford Kovalchuk’s expected of 10 million plus salary a year. They also have two first round draft picks. Just throwing it out there. But who knows, maybe there is room for only one Ilya on the team. I’m crossing my finger regardless.
