10/4/12: Checking in on the locked out Phoenix Coyotes players in Europe finds that Mikkel Boedker has signed in the SM-Liga league with Lukko but has yet to appear in a game yet. Meanwhile in the Czech league veteran defenseman Rostislav Klesla is playing for HC Trinec and has played in four games with no points and checks in at a minus two. Back in Phoenix there is still no movement on the Coyotes ownership situation. It appears that this situation may be in flux until after the NHL lockout. Former San Jose Sharks CFO Greg Jamison is attempting to purchase the team and keep them in the desert.

9/27/12: Like most NHL teams the Phoenix Coyotes have had some European defections during the NHL lockout. Last week Mikkel Boedker signed with Lukko of the Swedish Elite league. He has yet to play a game with Lukko. With Phoenix last year Boedker played in all 82 games scoring 11 goals and 24 assists. He was the Coyotes first round draft pick (8th overall) in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. Veteran defenseman Rostislav Klesla has also jumped across the pond, signing with HC Trinec of the Czech Republic hockey league. Klesla appeared in 65 games with Phoenix last year and had a stellar plus 13 defensive rating.

8/16/12: The Phoenix Coyotes are hoping they get to retain the services of free agent forward Shane Doan. Doan has been hesitant to re-sign with Phoenix while the future of the club is in flux. He has met with several other teams and potential Phoenix owner Greg Jamison. Jamison has a tentative agreement in place with the NHL and the city of Glendale to purchase the team but the deal is still in jeopardy. There are questions about the legality of the deal and whether or not Jamison has the investors and the money to purchase and operate the team.

7/26/12: The Phoenix Coyotes still wait to see where 35 year-old captain Shane Doan will end up playing hockey next season. Doan reached out to the prospective Coyotes ownership group this week to find out if the sale of the team would actually happen. According to reports he did not hear back and continued his seemingly endless free agency tour. Doan has now been linked to 16 different NHL teams, the latest being the Montreal Canadians. Doan is a quality player who has played on a number of bad teams in Phoenix in front of empty stands, but appears to prefer staying, only if there is a team to stay for.

5/25/12 The Phoenix Coyotes got a 2-0 win in Game 4 to avoid the sweep in their Western Conference finals series against the Los Angeles Kings. They then took the Kings to overtime in Game 5, looking to prolong their season just one more game, however Dustin Penner put one in the net for the Kings with under three minutes remaining in overtime to give Los Angeles a 4-3 win and end the Coyotes' postseason run. In the end, Phoenix was helpless to stop the juggernaut that has been the Los Angeles Kings in the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs, a team that has lost only 2 games thus far in their run to the Stanley Cup Finals.

5/18/12 The Phoenix Coyotes are one loss away from being swept out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, as they fell 2-1 to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 3 at the Staples Center on Thursday night and now trail 3-0 in their best-of-seven Western Conference finals series. Facing elimination, the Coyotes will look to keep their season alive on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles. Although coming back from a 3-0 series deficit is nearly impossible, it has been done before and the Coyotes will need to add their name to the NHL history books if they have any hopes of making their first trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.

5/11/12 The Phoenix Coyotes continued to roll through the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators that gave them a 4-1 series victory and catapulted them into the Western Conference Finals where they will meet the Los Angeles Kings. Two second period goals from Derek Morris and Martin Hanzal gave the Coyotes a 2-0 lead that they would not relinquish in Game 5. A late goal by Nashville midway through the third period cut the lead in half, but it wasn't enough for the Predators, as the Coyotes held on for the series victory.

5/3/12: The Phoenix Coyotes did not let winning their first Stanley Cup playoff series go to their heads. Taking on the Nashville Predators the Coyotes stormed out to an impressive two games to none lead in their second round series. The series heads back to Nashville where the Coyotes have a chance to put a stranglehold on the Predators and make it to their first ever Western Conference Finals. All of this success is impressive when you consider that the team faces big uncertainties as to where they will be playing next season. That has not affected the players who continue to shine on the ice.

4/26/12: For the first time since moving to the desert the Phoenix Coyotes have advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They did so by beating the Chicago Blackhawks four games to two in a thrilling series that saw the first five games go into overtime. That had not happened in the NHL since guys played without helmets. Goalie Mike Smith was the star as the Blackhawks could not solve him and he has propelled the Coyotes into the second round where they will face the tough Nashville Predators. They will have to take on the Predators without winger Raffi Torres who was suspended for 25 games by the league for his hit on Marion Hossa.

4/19/12: The Coyotes followed up their first ever Pacific Division championship with three exciting games to open the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Facing the Chicago Blackhawks the Coyotes ended up in overtime for all three of their opening night games. The first two saw the tying goal scored in the last minute. After three games Phoenix has a two games to one lead over Chicago in the best of seven. The Coyotes will have to go the rest of this series without winger Raffi Torres who has been suspended indefinitely by the NHL for his viscous hit on Chicago's Marion Hossa in Game 3. Hossa had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher and was later released from a Chicago area hospital.
