October!

October 3, 2013

Home Opener!

The 'Yotes face the New York Rangers and King Henry on their first game of the season. This game, which looked like a blow out at one time turned into a solid, hard fought game in the end and the 'Yotes where able to finish the game on top of the Rangers for their first win and the first win for new GM Dean Wells


L. Korpikoski comes away with the game winner and the 'Yotes get production from a bunch of different sources.

If there is one thing to touch on in this game it would have to be the lack of ability for the 'Yotes to come away with more goals as they went 1-5 on the PP. If this is something that continues a new lineup may be needed or change in the Tactics!

The first game away from home for the 'Yotes sees them up against the San Jose Sharks. This game was a battle of the special teams and the Sharks came away with the win. The way that the 'Yotes played does not hold well if this becomes a common occurrence.


The downside to this game was the 3 PP goals given up by the 'Yotes. If the 'Yotes would have been a little more clean in their game they could have left with the W instead of the L.

To add insult to the lose the 'Yotes have lost RD Derek Morris for 3 weeks with a herniated disc! RD David Rundblad will be dressed and play in the meanwhile. The new lineups look as followed.

The 'Yotes are in New York to take on the 2-0-0 New York Islanders. The 'Yotes go into this game with the worst PK in the league at just 50% but are able to kill off the only penalty they took. They again were unable to capitalize fully on the PP and went 1-6. But all together the 'Yotes pulled together for the 5-2 win!


October 10,2013

The 'Yotes are on game 3 of a 5 game road trip taking on the very rested Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are the worst offensive team so far this season with 3 goals in 3 games, while allowing 9 goals in 3 games. They also have one of the worst PP in the league at a mere 8%.


A strong 2 period by the 'Yotes brings them their third win of the season and two straight on the road trip!

October 11,2013

The 'Yotes are in Philly today to take on the Flyers on this back-to-back road trip game. Smith gets the night off with Thomas Greiss getting the start. The 'Yotes are looking to make it three straight with a W in this game and make sure they go back to Arizona with a winning road trip!


A breakout game for Thomas Greiss as he finishes with an incredible .971 save percentage! The 'Yotes make this three straight and are cruising through the road trip at the moment!

The one down side at the moment is M. Riberio is DtD with hip soreness and will miss the next 6 days and probably the next two games. in his absence the lineups will look like so.

The 'Yotes finish their road trip with a stop in Carolina! the Hurricanes are a top team in the league posting the same 4-1-0 record as the 'Yotes but are among the top teams in goals, PP, and PK! This will be a huge test for the 'Yotes to see if they can hang with the big boys!


Despite being outshot and outplayed most of the first the 'Yotes where able to crack the hurricanes and land their 4th straight win! going 2-4 on the PP and having a crazy game from Mike Smith with a 97.1 save%! The 'Yotes now take a 5-1-0 record home for their next game!

The 'Yotes play host to the Ottawa Senators tonight, the 'Yotes bring into this game the best record in the Western Conference as they take on the team tied for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Mike Riberio is still a few days away from returning but the 'Yotes are handling themselves even without their top centre.


after being up by two early the 'Yotes lost momentum and found themselves down by one going into the second. The Senators didn't give up and finished the 'Yotes off 5-3 to end their winning streak at four games. Mike Smith had a horrible game finishing with a 83.9 save%. Bobby Ryan got the best of the 'Yotes and goes home with a 5 point night.

October 18, 2013
The 'Yotes head to Anaheim to take on the Ducks who have had a subpar start to their season at 2-4-0. This game allows the 'Yotes to take it to their division rivals and put them back on top of the Western Conference. Mike Riberio is back in the lineup for this game and the lines return to how they were prior to injury.


After a evenly played and scoreless first period the 'Yotes get on the board with a SH goal by none other than Mike Riberio. The 'Yotes would go on to get 2 more goals before Anaheim was able to get one by Smith with 30 seconds to go. The 'Yotes now improve to 6-2-0!

October 19, 2013
The second back-to-back of the season comes against the Red Wings while the 'Yotes are home. Thomas Greiss will get his second start of the season as the 'Yotes go for win number 7 while the Red Wings look to get off the skid they started the year with going 2-6-0 to start.

After a disaster of a first period ending 4-0 for Detroit the 'Yotes are not able to pull back and end up losing their back-to-back against the high powered offence of the Red Wings. Thomas Greiss ends the game with a save percentage of 80%!

October 22, 2013
The 'Yotes are hosting the 5 game road tripping Calgary flames who are on the second game of a back-to-back and having won their last two games (only two wins of the season so far). Mike Smith is back in net as the 'Yotes hope to bounce back from their own lost against the wings!

After a pretty bland start to the game the 'Yotes turn it on in the second half of the second period and never look back. The legs of the Flames didn't look to be working all that great after a hard fought win the night before.

October 24, 2013
The 'Yotes head to LA to take on the Kings in what looks like it will be a hard fought game between some of the best teams in the league! with 21 saves tonight Mike Smith would have 7000 on his career!

With 34 saves Mike Smith gets over his 7000 saves and more importantly a 4-3 win! Mike Riberio almost single handily wins this games for the 'Yotes with a hat trick and first star!

[U]October 26, 2013/U]
The 'Yotes invite the Edmonton Oilers to town! Edmonton who is having an average season to date will be matched up against a real tough Arizona team who is a single point out of first in the Western Conference!

Mike Smith has a killer game stopping all 35 shots the Oilers took on him and the 'Yotes figure a way past Martin Brodeur 4 times as the 'Yotes win again and keep right on rolling in the first month of the season!

October 29, 2013
Good news for the 'Yotes as Derek Morris is back in the lineups! the 'Yotes host LA for the first time and second meeting of the month! their starting lineups with the reintroduction of Derek Morris looks like this!


Penalties end of killing the 'Yotes in the end as they give up 3 PP goals and drop this game 5-3 against the Kings.

October 31, 2013
on a spooky last night of the month in Arizona the 'Yotes host rival Nashville Predators! the 'Yotes are hoping for a good end to the month of October and hopefully a bounce back game after the lost to LA.

despite being heavily outshot the Arizona Coyotes come out with a dominating 4-0 win against the Nashville Predators. Mike Smith had a busy night in net stopping all of the 35 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season and the coyotes finished off October in style!
