Morning Wrap: Coyotes Center Scores Game Winner For Avalanche

((ht: nhl.com))

Talk about a crappy way to lose a hockey game. This one may take the cake.

The Colorado Avalanche got a 4-3 overtime win Tuesday night vs. The Arizona Coyotes. The reason they got the win--

Coyotes center Martin Hanzal deflected a pass by Colorado's Daniel Briere into the net, past Coyotes Goalie Mike Smith.

Game over.

Briere gets credit for the goal even though he wasn't trying to score and Hanzal holds his head in shame.

Your highlights from NHL.com:

Winter Classic: Rangers Hold Off Flyers

And the last minute or so was a wild one- meant for television...

And meant to showcase the idea of having the sport outside for a meaningful game of shinny...

Michael Rupp scored twice ((The HQ knows... right?)), Braydon Schenn scored his first NHL goal, and the final minute had a power play, two pulled goalie situations, and Daniel Briere trying to even the score...
((HT: NHL on NBC))


The visiting team is now 4-0-1 in the series, and the Rangers have now won 7 of their last 8.

Now what the HQ would like to suggest is Detroit-Toronto at the Big House.
How 'bout now...??? Okay, good...
