Hockey is sizzling in Arizona and the Phoenix Coyotes are red hot. Since adding goalie Ilya Bryzgalov from Anaheim they have won four straight games and Bryzgalov has given up just six goals in that span. The visiting Toronto Maple Leafs, losers in four of their last five games, were no match for the Coyotes, and were comfortably dismissed 5-1.
During Coach's Corner, hockey analyst Don Cherry once again took his beloved Leafs veterans in defense. When pretty much everyone else can see that the Toronto Maple Leafs are in desperate need of a complete overhaul, he is convinced it's just a goaltender issue. When Bryan McCabe, among others, is caught sleeping in his own zone, Cherry still goes after poor Vesa Toskala.

Bad news for the rest of the NHL, the duo of Nylander and Backstrom are really starting to click. In the win against Carolina they had a goal and four assists between them, and Jaromir Jagr is sulking back in New York.
