Coyotes President & CEO Ahron Cohen has "cleared the air" about how the team felt regarding a recent column from Sportsnet's Mark Spector that "described their playing style as 'boring' earlier this week," according to Richard Morin of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC. Spector had called the team's 3-2 win over the Oilers on Monday night "low event, low excitement." Cohen yesterday said, "With this you have a misinformed story from a Canadian journalist that doesn't bother to look at all the positivity we've built in this Arizona community." The Coyotes, "embracing their newly minted playing style, began not-so-subtly taking jabs at Spector's column on Tuesday through their Twitter account." The team sent a tweet after C Christian Dvorak scored the team's second goal against the Flames with a caption that read: "Not boring, eh?" Cohen said that he "wanted to echo how Coyotes fans came to the defense of the organization in wake of the column, adding that the team is curating plans to utilize the 'boring' motif." Cohen: "We're going to have some fun with it, and maybe we'll even make some T-shirts. That's kind of our thing, so we'll see." Spector's column was also notable for calling the Coyotes the NHL's "'welfare state' while mocking their attendance numbers and ownership turnover" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 11/7).
