11 wins in the month of February. There was 1 OT loss thrown in middle of the month to Vancouver. 23 out of a possible 24 points. Some of the best hockey the Coyotes have played in the last few years were played in the month of February. Guys like Radim Vrbata and Ray Whitney strung 12 games together that made their season a monster success. If they were UFAs, it would cost The Shepherd GMDM a lot more money than they are currently under contract to keep them here. Mike Smith had the month of his career as well. 6 one goal games. 2 shutouts. 3 Shootout wins. This is the reason he wanted to come and play in Phoenix. The chance to prove himself. The chance to show the world he could be and is a starting goalie. Mission Accomplished.

I grew up in Western New York and learned the game thanks to a wildcat feed of Hockey Night in Canada and listening to Ted Darling and Rick Jeanneret call Sabres games.We played street hockey all year long and I wanted to be Gilbert Perrault.
Fast forward, I live in Arizona with a beautiful wife whom I converted into a rabid fan of hockey (seeing Matthew Lombardi sans helmet was the clincher). My daughters play in CAHA and want to be Shane Doan. I have a dog named Gretkzy. I want to be Shane Doan.
