Coyotes Chase Away One of the Pack Nick, Dan & Carm tell Steve to get the "Howl" out of town
Phoenix (AP)
This comes as no surprise, however the timing is suspicious. The Phoenix Coyotes management pulled off a coup and have overthrown the 4th member of the "Quattro-fecta" (Italian for "Four Heads are Better than One"). Steve, the chubbiest of the 4 capo di Coyotes, was reluctant to accept his position as co-gm from the get-go, but after 24 Steam Whistle's and a case of Brio he signed on the dotted panini...then ate it. Since the draft, this co-gm has been absent from his post most of the season, with the occasional e-mail reply to trade offers stating "Is that fu*ker out of his mind?".
No one is sure whether the desert heat got to him, or if he's even alive. One would think that his brother and one of the 3 remaining capo's, Dan, would know of his whereabouts. Uh uh.
The most realistic rumour out there is that Steve finally made good on a promise to kill himself, and end not only his misery, but Dan, Nick and Carm's misery as well. He was rumoured to be living at peace with the earth at Arizona's infamous Grand Canyon. He lived like the Amish folk. No electricity, no running water, and more importantly, no Pasta Fasool with extra prosciutto on the side. This is enough to drive any man crazy, let alone a fat, hungry one. But apparently Steve stood strong, and waited it out....until....Mr. Bryce Shuck and his band of no-good-doing thieves took what was left of Steve's pathetic, overweight life. Mats Sundin. No, Steve did not get the Arizona Tribune delivered to his quasi-tent at the Canyon, so that's not how he found out. Apparently the Atlanta GM, go figure, another Shuck, was vacationing out West taking in the beauty of the Canyon. While he was there, he was overheard by many tourists preaching how Bryce Lampman, Michael Rupp, Jordan Smith and the retired Dan Blackburn are due for huge rerates in the BRHL. After the bragging of his stalwart players, he made mention of the Sundin debacle. Steve awoke from his coma (also known as eating), and posed the question to Kirk Shuck. "Kirk, what's that about Sundin? Is he really no longer a Coyote?"
Kirk went on to confirm the rumour, and continued on about the stellar seasons of Aaron Voros and Kyle Chipchura.
Steve had had enough. If he didn't kill himself earlier, this would push him over the edge...literally. Below is a picture, which has been tested by photo experts (and they all agree it is an un-doctored photo), of Steve's final moments. I should be sad...but truly I'm not. Now THAT'S one Coyote Ugly.

u better hope to out bid everyone in UFA have fun Ummm...the post was written tongue in cheek. Sarcasm.....nevermind...
Do you think I care about year 3? I do, but I can make trades every year for the future, and never win anything, except this notion that I will "possibly" be good in year 4 or year 7 or year 12. I want to win. I don't want to constantly trade so that my team looks as if it may have a shot in 3 or 4 years. We are at the top of the league, or near the top, so should we just call it a season? You do realize that there are 30 teams that are always looking to improve, and when the chance is there to win it all, you go for it. It's not easy being that 1 team out of 30 that takes it all.
Anyways, lighten up. If this post upset you, then you won't like any of my posts, and you definitely won't like me. Anyone and everyone is fair game to me, and I'll even make fun of myself...just makes for funny and entertaining reading.....

I agree.....if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The Coyotes coach's mama wears army boots......
