Hey Ed, I just finished watching your home-state Phoenix Coyotes beat the Chicago Black Hawks 4-0 in Game #6 of their first-round series to advance to the second round of the 2011-2012 National Hockey League playoffs.

This is **the very first** playoff series that the Coyotes have won since way back in the year 1987 when they were still the Winnipeg Jets!! shocked

Congratulations, and, "Way to go!!" to the Coyotes for their first-round win over the Black Hawks!! up up

Well, with the Phoenix Coyotes advancing to the second round of these 2011-2012 NHL playoffs, it is, indeed, a total "changing of the guard" in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League, (at least for these current playoffs)!

Below is a short quote from a portion of an interesting commentary article that was posted on the ESPN website that described the probable main reason for this "changing of the guard" in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League:

Quote:
CHICAGO -- The changing of the guard in the West is now complete.

The Phoenix Coyotes joined the St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and Los Angeles Kings in the second round of the playoffs; a fresh-faced group signaling not only a new era in the Western Conference but also a change in style of play.

All four teams, to varying degrees, play defense-first systems and win low-scoring games when they're having success.

All four of these defense-first teams are backed by some serious goaltending in Mike Smith, Jonathan Quick, Pekka Rinne and the Jaroslav Halak/Brian Elliott duo.

Much like the San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks and Detroit Red Wings in their playoff series, the Chicago Blackhawks were stymied against the Coyotes, scoring only 12 goals in six games.

It was 101 degrees in Tucson on April 22nd. It was even hotter in Phoenix. You need two things for hockey: water and cold. We have neither out here.

The whole thing seems absurd to me. But then again I never pay attention to what goes on up in Phoenix if I can avoid it--it's a third rate Los Angeles on the desert.
