So, Where Have I Been?


02/23/07 10:05 AM

As many of you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t been around that much this week. It’s not because the Coyotes went through a losing skid that wiped out their earlier profits. Oh no – if I could have written more I certainly would have.

For my day job, I teach high school. I won’t tell you what kind of teacher I am because it would open me up to much more scrutiny than I would truly like.

The past week had me working 10-12 hour days as I would teach and then rehearse a one act play. So just like this guy, I was an ACTOR for a a week or so.

No, I’m not giving up my day job. The nights were very long and left me very little time to write about anything.

I do recognize that I have my priorities out of whack because hockey rules all, but I figured some sort of written explanation was necessary. After all, we beat the Flames in overtime last night and there should have been highlights, or a brag post, or something to commemorate the end of a six game losing skid.

There is also news regarding Georges Laraque not playing as a Phoenix Coyote any longer. Pittsburgh needs some enforcer help and quickly. When the league slowly got tougher and the Penguins star players became more vulnerable, the Penguins must have realized how valuable a guy like Andre Roy was to their lineup and regretted letting him go to Tampa Bay through the waiver wire.

Laraque has a no-trade clause in his contract but according to him, he has been informed that he will not be playing any longer.

When the deal is finalized, I add my reaction to it later.

Another trade rumor that has been floating involves Kevyn Adams. Not that management reads this blog, but I would not recommend getting rid of a guy like Adams. I do realize that the Sabres are in need of some forward help thanks to the hit by Chris Neil on Chris Drury, but letting Adams go and not signing him would be a mistake.

Adams sees comparisons between the Coyotes and the pre-Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes. I also see some comparisons to the pre-Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. However, moving Adams is something that I would not want to happen.

Since the Coyotes don’t play until Tuesday night, other hockey games will garner my attention this weekend. I know where I will be on Saturday night…
