Coyotes Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Last season, the Coyotes weren't just the best-kept secret in the NHL, they were under wraps in Arizona as well thanks to a television deal—because of their unsettled ownership situation—that left dozens of games as "radio-only" and left fans frustrated.
For example, when the Coyotes went on a nine-game winning streak in March, none of the four games during a sweep of the Southeast (Carolina, Atlanta, Tampa and Florida) were televised. As a result, the bandwagon that rolled into the playoffs for the first time since 2002 had a lot of late arrivals.
Well, they are still without a new owner, but the Coyotes know they will be staying put this season, and more games will be carried on TV. |
