The slow-starting, inattentive “lipstick on a pig” Arizona Coyotes gifted their game to the San Jose Sharks on Monday night, 6 to 4. Because of those high stakes, Yotes fans could reasonably expect a solid effort in San Jose right from the beginning of the game.
Was that ugly or what? On a night when the St. Louis Blues won their second straight game against the Colorado Avalanche earlier in the day, the Arizona Coyotes knew they needed to beat the San Jose Sharks to leapfrog the Blues in order to regain 4th place and the playoff spot.
