As the Coyotes’ season winds down to a handful of games, the on-ice product hasn’t been easy to watch.
It wasn’t when the season started — an 11-game losing streak let everyone know, if they didn’t before, that tough times were ahead — and it isn’t now, with several of the Coyotes' top players out with injuries and a roster full of AHL call-ups trying their best to make an impression on the coaching staff and front office.
The Coyotes could end up exactly where many observers thought when the season ends, however, and that in itself could make them worth following to the end.
