Snippets of two conversations I heard today.

Things to remember concerning the Coyotes and Red Wings

1) At the time of writing this, the Coyotes have not lost a PLAYOFF game to the Red Wings since 1998
2) The Coyotes have not lost a PLAYOFF game since 2002

Things to forget:

The Coyotes have not been on the playoffs since 2002 and have not played the Red Wings in the playoffs since 1998


Something else to remember:

This time the Coyotes made the playoffs with some "room to spare."
