Sunday’s game between the Dallas Stars and Phoenix Coyotes was supposed to be a thriller with a playoff spot on the line. Instead, the Coyotes were only fighting to finish their season on a high note and end a seven-game winning streak, which they did via a 2-1 win.
Shane Doan on tonight's win: "We wish that it meant a lot more. We were that close (to making the playoffs) & we didn't find a way to win."

Dave Tippett: "It's nice to win but that's a very hollow game."

Oh yeah, and about that meaningless game business:
