Hockey betting fans know that the Phoenix Coyotes had another poor year on the ice finishing with losing records at home and on the road. Hockey betting fans know that Wayne Gretzky has not been able to have any success in Phoenix and that doesn’t look to change anytime soon. Those fans looking at the hockey betting line see that the Coyotes added goalie Alex Auld, got center Kevyn Adams from Chicago and picked up goalie David Aebischer from Montreal.

Hockey betting fans know that Phoenix has not even been close to the playoffs in recent seasons. Hockey betting fans think the heat should start to fall on Gretzky despite his untouchable status. Hockey betting fans know that the Coyotes don’t have a proven goalie and have very little offensive spark. Those fans looking at the hockey betting line think that the team needs forwards Shane Doan and Steven Reinprecht to play better.

Hockey betting fans know that they also need Ed Jovanovski to say healthy. Hockey betting fans know that getting Nick Boyton and Derek Morris to play up to their ability would also help. Those fans looking at the hockey betting line should know that Jovanoski thinks it is possible. "I think this year will be a bit different than last year, with kind of a so-called youth movement. But I'm a veteran player and looking at the opportunity to be a mentor for some of the younger guys. And for myself, it's staying healthy, having a good year," he said.

Hockey betting fans know that the goal for Phoenix is to make the playoffs but that is really not in the cards with this team although the players say otherwise. "You play this game to get into the playoffs," Jovanoski said. "I've never been around a team that not making the playoffs was a good year."

Fans looking at the hockey betting line think that the problem for Jovo and the Coyotes is that they do not have enough talent to compete. Hockey betting fans know that they have weak goaltending, suspect scoring and a defense that is only decent when Jovanoski plays. Hockey betting fans know that when you leading scorer (Doan) has only 55 points you know your team is in trouble. Hockey betting fans think it could be another long year in Phoenix.
