People need to get over the idea that the NHL is fixed. There officiating has quite frankly sucked all playoffs in every series. Nashville got away with murder by having Shea Weber not suspended, and I'm sure that the NHL would have rather had Detroit than Nashville in the second round.
Phoenix is no fluke. They are a good team, I do think that if they run into LA (which will probably happen) that they will have a tough time beating Quick, although you never know, because they are currently up 3-1 on what is probably the best defense in the Western Conference. To the guy above me.
What Radulov and Kostitsyn did was terrible. That shows no heart and commitment for your team. I completely understand the Preds suspending those two guys.
Even if they finished dead last the season before I still wouldn't buy it. Every team should try to improve its performance and the Coyotes are no exception. Although their regular-season point totals have declined over the same span, they've made the playoffs three years in a row and were bound to advance beyond the 1st round eventually.
If it were any other team this wouldn't come up. And what were the Coyotes supposed to do this season, tank it? Look at the Blues and how unwell they're doing in their series against the Kings.
Nobodys talking about the NHL trying to fix a championship for them. Why? Because it ain't happening.
Plus, the not-so-insignificant fact that the Coyotes are owned by the league. I have no doubt that this is a rumor straight out of Canadian basements where Bettman-haters congregate to bemoan the lack of teams. It's a plausible theory, but unsubstantiated.
To paraphrase dialogue from "All The President's Men" in which Redford says to Hoffman; "You go to bed and there's no snow on the ground. You wake up and there's snow on the ground. It's reasonable to conclude that it snowed during the night." (not verbatim) While true, what if the subject lived next to a ski resort and the maintenance crew used snow cannons around his house?
It didn't really snow from a certain point of view, but it did in a technical sense. The same applies to the theory about the Coyotes. Yeah they're doing great when the chips are down and they are rumored to now be the next team for Quebec City or Seattle.
But that doesn't mean they're having their way cleared to a Cup victory any more that we could exclude the fact that perhaps the players have found the prospect of moving to be a rallying point to do well. The rumor cheapens everyone and everything involved with another successful season. Suppose they do win the Cup and move?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
