Ok, it's not, but it might as well be. I'm sure to receive a few admonishments from some corner of the internet, but I really think there's no chance that the [Phoenix Coyotes](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/phoenix-coyotes?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) ever come back to beat the [Los Angeles Kings](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/los-angeles-kings?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

If you're looking for a recap of the game, there's no better place than [Five For Howling](http://www.fiveforhowling.com/2012/5/16/3023634/phoenix-coyotes-lose-focus-poise-game-4-0-to-la-kings?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who had an understandably dour take on last night's events.

Plenty more links over the jump.
