“We’re just making mistakes that we don’t normally make,” Morris said following practice Sunday. “We’re getting on the wrong side of the puck at times, both offensively and defensively, kind of trying to create stuff that’s not there yet. When things aren’t going well, you always try to overwork and cheat on the wrong side to get goals. I think we just have to play more defensive and let the goals come.”

“We’d like to win games that are 4-1, but we kind of know that’s just not us,” defenseman Keith Yandle said. “We win games that are 2-1, 3-2, 1-0, and we’ve got to play that 1-0 mentality and play hard in our zone and then try to create offense from there. … We’ve just got to play our game and not try to impress anyone.”

@davest4yotes: Chad Johnson will start in goal for #Coyotes tonight vs. Preds.

The 26-year-old native of Calgary, Alberta has spent his entire career with the Rangers organization, appearing in six games with the Rangers, posting a record of 1-2-1.

Johnson, has a 2.80 GAA and .912 save percentage in 24 games with the Pirates.

Lets go Yotes, glad too see they are giving Johnson a shot.

This clearly tells us that Tip is not happy with Barbs play.

And he shouldn't. Barbs has no idea where the puck is going after he makes a save.

@davest4yotes
#Coyotes Coach Dave Tippett on starting Chad Johnson tonight: "We're looking for a spark & we're looking to improve our goals - against."

And I don't think he is hiding his displeasure.

[Hodgy]

Any idea on when Smith will be back?

[TeamTippett]

If this goalie has any sense of humor he should wear #85.

I don't get it.

[naurutger]

Sounds like Klesla could be back Wednesday. Comes off today but I dont see him playing.

I'm going to call the dude Ocho Cinco for now on

[awfulwaffle*]

I hope to see a few Welcome Ocho Cinco signs in the stands.

[Muppet]

Please, for the love of the hockey gods, just get a W tonight. I don't care how it's done, just get it done. If I come home from work and see we've lost, it better be by several goals, and not one of those typical late third period chokes.

WIN DAMN YOU, WIN.

LOL @ the attendence cheap shots from Nashville, still bitter from losing in the 2nd round again I see.

I would be too. Nashville was close to Phoenix's attendance figures until we hit BK

I believe he was wearing 31 on the bench.

[pacerhimself]

Well, having to start the back-up to the back-up doesn't exactly inspire confidence but something needed to be done. Let's hope they double down on the shot blocking and keep the slot clean of traffic.

Still some great seats on Stub Hub under $20 for Center ICE Club Red seats.

[AZflyingPuck]

Will Tip try to stop the bleeding by breaking out the Band Aids; playing Johnson & Johnson?

Chad Johnson is/was a famous receiver in the NFL. He wore #85 and legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco.

Lets face it, they couldn't sell out

• The third home game
• A Saturday night game
• A game against a division rival
• A game against the reigning champs
• With some of the cheapest tickets in the league.
• All of the above!

Attendance for tonight's game will be abysmal even with the 50% discount, student rush, and free kids tickets.
