{coyotes} Bruins win 4-1 after scary injury to Coyotes' Burmistrov

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

BOSTON (AP) The Arizona Coyotes got word from the hospital after the second period that center Alexander Burmistrov seemed to be doing OK.

By then, it was too late for them to get back into the game.

Riley Nash scored a short-handed goal after Colin Miller was ejected for a bone-rattling hit that sent Burmistrov off on a stretcher, and the Boston Bruins pulled away with a three-goal second period to beat the Coyotes 4-1 on Tuesday night.

''When it's as serious as that, it maybe takes a couple of minutes for everyone to get back to playing hockey,'' said Arizona goalie Mike Smith, who was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots and put the blame on himself.

''When the signal gets made, and the paramedics come on the ice, it's always hard to deal with,'' he said. ''But that's no excuse.''

Miller was given a five-minute major and game misconduct for knocking Burmistrov onto his back in the second period. The Coyotes center remained motionless on the ice for several minutes but gave a thumbs-up with both hands as he was wheeled off on a stretcher.

The Coyotes said Burmistrov was taken to a hospital for further evaluation. Captain Shane Doan said the team was told during the second break that Burmistrov seemed to pass the initial tests; it wasn't clear if he would have to remain in Boston overnight.

''Everything up until this point is great,'' Doan said. ''Everything that you're really worried about seems to be OK.''

Miller said he texted Burmistrov and explained he wasn't trying to hurt him.

''He said he understood,'' Miller said. ''It's a hockey play.''

With Miller in the dressing room and Boston a man down for three minutes, the Bruins scored three goals in the last 13 minutes of the second - including a pair jut 1:44 apart at the end of the period - to pull away.

''I don't know if that helped the team or not,'' Miller said. ''But they did a great job killing it off.''

Tuukka Rask had 22 saves for the Bruins, who have won six of seven games since firing coach Claude Julien and replacing him with Bruce Cassidy.

Louis Domingue stopped all 11 shots he faced after replacing Smith to start the third period.

Burmistrov, 25, is a 2010 first-round draft pick from Russia who has one goal and 10 assists this season. He had received a pass and just sent the puck along when Miller came into him sideways and knocked him down.

Burmistrov landed on his back and rolled partially onto his side, but otherwise did not move as first the Coyotes and then the Bruins medical staffs came out to tend to him.

Miller was immediately set upon by Arizona defenseman Jakob Chychrun, but the officials broke in before it could get too far.

''It's tough to see,'' said Chychrun, who added that he hadn't seen a replay and couldn't say whether he thought it was a dirty hit.

Miller was given five minutes for charging and thrown out of the game, and Chychrun was given two minutes for roughing. Nash broke a 1-1 tie about three minutes later, and David Backes and Brad Marchand added goals at the end of the second period.

Backes kept the puck in the zone, flipped it behind the net and then drifted over to the middle of the ice, where Marchand found him. A quick wrist shot beat Smith to make it 3-1 with just under two minutes left in the second.

Then, with just 11 seconds left in the period, Marchand intercepted a pass at the blue line and skated behind the net, leaving Smith spread-eagled and out of position. The Bruins forward came around the other side and slipped the puck behind the goalie to give Boston a 4-1 lead.

Miller had a goal in the first period for Boston. Peter Holland scored for Arizona 3:27 into the second period.

NOTES: The Bruins have scored first in their last six games. ... Arizona has lost the last nine games between the teams.

Coyotes: Visit Buffalo on Thursday night.

{coyotes} Shane Doan calmer about Martin Hanzal trade

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

BOSTON -- To a large degree, the emotions of Sunday had dissipated by Tuesday morning. That is not to say that Arizona Coyotes forward Shane Doan was any happier about the trade that had sent center Martin Hanzal and forward Ryan White to the Minnesota Wild for a package of picks and a prospect. But the charged words and charged feelings, expressed in an interview conducted during a game on Sunday, had simmered down for Doan.

"I think that as a player it's impossible at times not to have your opinions and, yet, at the same time to realize that you're just a player," Doan said after the Coyotes' morning skate ahead of their game against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden (7 p.m. ET; NESN, FS-A PLUS, NHL.TV). "It doesn't really matter and that's kind of where it sometimes gets away from you and you sometimes want to give your opinion.

"At the same time you have to respect the authority that's above you. That's what our jobs are. That's the way hockey works. You understand that people are above you and your job is to play the game."

This is not the first time that Doan has been through this. The captain has watched as teammates have been shipped out of Arizona, highlighted -- or lowlighted -- by the trading of Keith Yandle and Antoine Vermette before the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline.

Those trades, too, shook Doan.

"When you're a seller, it makes it way more difficult," he said. "Over the years, losing guys that you're close with always makes it tough. … Every year it seems that there's guys that go and it makes it a little more difficult."

Doan himself has not ruled out being moved before the deadline (3 p.m. ET on March 1), though he has not waived his no-trade clause, nor has he been asked to do so. He has played all 21 of his NHL seasons for the Winnipeg Jets/Coyotes.

"We've talked off and on about different things," Doan said of himself and general manager John Chayka. "They've been so respectful to me with whatever happens, it's been good."

And this move, trading Hanzal and White, has not changed the way that Doan looks at his future in Arizona. They are, in his mind, separate things.

"As a player, my future is pretty close to over, so it's one of those things that you don't worry too much about," said Doan, 40. "As a fan of the Coyotes, I really, really wish that Marty was around for a long time because I think he's a good player, 6-6 centermen are hard to find that play both ends of the ice, [he] really wants to be here, really wanted to be a part of this. He was disappointed and upset when he had to leave. But talking to him now, [I] talked to him yesterday, he's really excited."

Meanwhile, Doan remains in Arizona, as the Coyotes change around him -- and not for the better, at least not in the near term. Which doesn't make this time of year easy.

But Doan also knows that there's a solution.

"Be better," Doan said. "[If] you don't want to be in this situation, then be better as a team. That's kind of the way it goes."

The trade was addressed in the dressing room by coach Dave Tippett after it happened, with the message being that the team needs to move forward. As Doan said, "As a player, your job is to find ways to win hockey games. You're a professional. You get paid a lot of money to play a sport. You've got to understand that. Some parts of it you don't like, and that's one of the parts."

He remembers the good years, the times that the Coyotes were buyers at the trade deadline instead of sellers, when they welcomed new additions instead of saying goodbye to treasured teammates. That was not the case this season, and so Doan had to see a close friend sent away.

"Sometimes as a player you appreciate things so much that when you lose them, it makes it tough," Doan said. "Marty had been with us since 2005. We drafted him and got to watch him become the player he is, and [I'm] just a huge, huge supporter of him. He's so valuable."

The admiration is such that, upon making his debut for the Wild on Monday, Hanzal opted for No. 19, the number that Doan wears in Arizona, when his usual No. 11 was unavailable because Zach Parise wears it.

After the game on Monday, Doan and Hanzal spoke, leading to one of the few light moments of the past few days. As Doan said with a laugh: "I asked him about it. I said thanks. He told me it was the only one available."

{coyotes} NHL commissioner Bettman on bye week: ‘We have to do it differently’

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is not a fan of the current bye week format.

Speaking on Sportsnet 590 The Fan's Prime Time Sports on Monday, Bettman said that the league has to try something different.

"I hear from a lot of coaches and a lot of managers and a lot of players that it takes them out of their routine," Bettman told Bob McCown and John Shannon. "We're going to try and do it differently to see if it makes a difference."

The bye week was implemented at the start of this season as a way to give players a break. Players are currently off for a stretch of five days before returning to action.

Bettman said that he would like to have the bye week line up near the all-star game but not have the time off going straight into the event. He adds that he doesn't want the NHL to be too dark for an extended period of time -- which is part of the concern in going to the 2018 Olympics.

The NHL commissioner did say that half the league would be off at one time and the other half would be off together at a seperate time.

"We're obligated from the Players Association to do it for another year, but I'm having trouble, unless this works out really well next season continuing it," Bettman said.

{coyotes} Coyotes sad to see Martin Hanzal leave

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- For the past 10 years, Shane Doan and Martin Hanzal have been friends, teammates, admirers of each other on the ice and the scourge of card games on the Arizona Coyotes team plane.

A decade of good times on and off the ice came to an end just before the Coyotes game with the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. Hanzal was traded along with Ryan White to the Minnesota Wild for three future draft picks to help the rebuilding Coyotes.

Before he left Sunday, Hanzal said his toughest goodbye was with Doan, with whom he has played all of his 608 NHL games. Doan nearly choked up during a first intermission television interview when asked about the trade. Arizona's come-from-behind 3-2 win against the Sabres didn't make things much easier.

"I don't know how many times I've said he was our most important forward," Doan said. "For 10 years, being able to play with him and see everything he does … I sure appreciated it.

"You can search a long time before you can find a 6-foot-6 centerman that's kind of mean and effective on both ends of the ice and makes your power play better and is probably your best penalty killer. You don't find those guys too often, and when you do you try to hold on to them.

"I'm very disappointed in the fact he's not with us anymore. I have no control over it as a player so you just have to deal with it."

Radim Vrbata scored the game-winning goal on his 600th NHL point in the final minute, but when the questions turned to his close friend and Czech Republic countryman he took several seconds and attempts to formulate his thoughts.

"You know it's going to happen, but when it happens … it's not a shock, but it hits you even though you know it's coming," he said. "We kind of started here together [in Arizona] and it's been 10 years. He was a rookie back then. Now I have seen him grow into the player he is today, into the leader he was for this team. He was so important to this team every single season.

"It's tough to lose him as a friend and a linemate for me. He made my life a lot easier and I'm going to miss him.

Doan and Vrbata have been mentioned in trade talks as well. Doan would have to lift a 'no-move' clause in his contract.

"Obviously nothing's really changed for me," Doan said. "I've said all along that it wouldn't change depending on what they did with Marty. It will probably be the same-old, same-old."

Vrbata, with team-best 46 points, doesn't have same protection.

"There are a couple of days left. I haven't heard anything so far, so we'll see how that plays out," he said. "I said all along, if this is the last season I would like to finish it here. That's why I signed here. But you never know. We'll see."

The team heads to Boston on Monday and Doan will be looking for a new partner when the cards come out on the charter.

"Marty's a pretty good card player and we've had a pretty good gig going, him and I together," said Doan, managing a smile. "It's definitely going to hurt the slush fund."

{coyotes} Coyotes acquire Pulkkinen from Wild for future considerations

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

Teemu Pulkkinen is headed to the desert.

The Arizona Coyotes announced on Monday that they had acquired the 25-year-old winger from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for future considerations.

A native of Vantaa, Finland, Pulkkinen has appeared in nine games with the Wild, recording a goal. He was named an American Hockey League All-Star this season with the Wild's affiliate, the Iowa Wild, where he registered 18 goals and 18 assists in 47 contests.

Originally taken in the fourth round of the 2010 National Hockey League Entry Draft by the Detroit Red Wings, Pulkkinen has 12 goals and nine assists in 79 games with the Wild and Red Wings over four seasons.

Re: [cactuswings 3766] Storage & Other News

Hi Dave,

You're probably aware but the AIB395C was the aforementioned N673NK/F-WZMU on presumably its third and final test flight before delivering the next day. The flight number is the last three of the MSN.

Cheers,
