Coyotes keep blocking shots
Dave Tippett - C - Phoenix Coyotes
April 24, 2012 - 9:50 AM ET

The Coyotes blocked 19 more shots in Game 6, raising their Western Conference playoff high to 128.

The Yotes were thoroughly outplayed on the offensive end for much of their Game 6 win against the Blackhawks, getting outshot 39-20, but Mike Smith was brilliant in net. Further, their willingness to sacrifice their body paid off big time. "We have to do whatever it takes to win, and if the other team is shooting the puck a lot, we better be in the lanes as much as we can," coach Dave Tippett said.
