By losing 3-1 to the Ducks on Tuesday night, the Coyotes blew an opportunity to win a seventh consecutive game for the first time in eight years and lost ground in the race for a wild-card playoff spot.
But if you like irony, hockey and the Coyotes, the game also was a reminder of what a surprise this team has been this season.
Or did you think last October the Coyotes were capable of winning six consecutive games?
Or did you have them being in playoff contention in March?
Or were you the one who thought the Coyotes would prosper, not collapse, after enduring more serious injuries than any other team in the NHL?
