Game Two -- Blackhawks and Coyotes April 14, 2012

They sent the home crowd (and one of the larger ones it was in recent Coyote history) to their dens happy on Thursday, so one imagines that Phoenix will be anxious to stage a repeat for the Chicago Blackhawks tonight.

Playoff hockey in the desert isn't quite the unusual thing, there was that hint that Dave Tippet is more than just a journeyman coach after he led the Coyotes into the playoffs last year, considering the never ending uncertainty that seems to follow this team around, that was some accomplishment.

Tippet will seek to perform more of the same in Game Two on Saturday night.
