There's wasn't much eating as the Coyotes met for breakfast at the Sutton Hotel in Edmonton on Saturday.
Instead, the team was fixated on the TV screen, taking in the first postseason game of the expanded 24-team format between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers.
"We've been following it," Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse said of the nonstop NHL action. "Throughout the hotel, there's TVs everywhere with the games on. I know a lot of us were watching that New York-Carolina game there and you could feel the intensity from the first shift. A couple big hits, an early goal, an early fight.
