Tippett is Clear-Cut Best Coach
There are no surprises that the San Jose Sharks are the top team in the Pacific Division. The real surprise is that the Phoenix Coyotes are just four points behind them with just five games left in the regular season. How is this possible? While there are many members of the Coyotes organization to give credit to, only one man has truly led the way for the brilliant performance of the Cinderella team.
When the 2009-10 season started, the only thing surrounding the Coyotes’ organization was uncertainty. Over the summer, talks had even begun that the team may move to Hamilton as early as October if Canadian businessman Jim Balsillie purchased the team. But the NHL stepped in and bought the team, planning on moving it to another owner. Its easy to say that the team was in turmoil.
