Today’s Game 2 between Detroit and Phoenix from Joe Louis Arena in Detroit is a pivotal game for the Coyotes if they want to head back to the desert not down in a 2-0 hole they’ll need to be sharper than they were in Game 1.

Today’s game also has the fun and games attached to it concerning the flying cephalopods. Numerous octopi hit the ice before the start of Game 1 and again after the Wings scored in the second period leading to a potential octopus crackdown at Joe Louis Arena. If you’re not stopping in today for the hockey, you can at least stop in for the sushi.

We’ll be chatting during the game and answering your questions during NHL Extra as you can watch along with us online starting at 1 p.m.

Do the Coyotes have what it takes to tie up the series with Ilya Bryzgalov in net or do Pavel Datsyuk and Nick Lidstrom have all the answers once again? We’ll find out this afternoon.
