"The trick to being angry and effective at the same time is not to overtaken by emotion, and Shane Doan knows it's a fine line.

After a frustrating loss Tuesday night to the Anaheim Ducks, a game in which two crucial calls went against them, the Coyotes now have to regroup before facing the San Jose Sharks, one of the league's elite teams, on Saturday.

"I think there's a little bit of anger and just recognizing we have to be better," Doan said. "(Tuesday's game) wasn't acceptable. You lose 4-1, it's not acceptable; you've got to find ways to score goals and contribute offensively, and we need guys to step up.""
