My friend Paul found an article that described playoff hockey as “hockey’s angrier, older brother that just got released from prison”. If that’s true, the San Jose Sharks look like a team that did time with Martha Stewart instead of Charles Manson. My opinion of what it will take for the San Jose [...]
Okay, so that’s my dream headline, but having some time to think about it, here’s my prediction: if the San Jose Sharks manage to come back and win this series against the Anaheim Ducks, they will make it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals. I didn’t say they’d win in the finals, [...]
Sharks fans, I think we’re done. A while back I wrote that, even if we don’t go deep in the playoffs, all I wanted to see from the San Jose Sharks was the kind of effort where you know they left nothing on the ice. Well, we didn’t get much of anything this [...]
From 1990-1993 the Buffalo Bills tallied up regular season records of 13-3, 13-3, 11-5 12-4, featured NFL Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith and Marv Levy, went to 4 straight Super Bowls – and lost every one of them.
Are the San Jose Sharks the Buffalo Bills of hockey? Are they destined [...]
I’ve been waiting for this day for about 11 months. Tonight the San Jose Sharks start on their quest to win the Stanley Cup – but you already knew that. This is where the whole enchilada starts – everything else up until now has basically been a 6 month appetizer.
Some of the guys [...]
Thanks to a 4-1-1 record in their last 6 games, and a special thanks to the Red Wings for losing 2 straight in Detroit, the San Jose Sharks find themselves 2 points ahead of the Red Wings in the Western Conference standings, and also hold a game in hand. Unfortunately the next 4 [...]
The Anaheim Ducks have won the last 5 games they have played – now that I’ve said it, I hope I didn’t jinx it. So, I’m knocking on wood as I type…..
Since I’ve been lagging behind in my blogging on the Ducks (my apologies – life sometimes happens), I’ll just briefly go through the games [...]
Yes, I said it: the Ducks WON. WON! It was a pretty exciting game (better than Sunday’s game) and the Ducks WON! I don’t know how many more times I will be able to say it the rest of this season, so I’m stocking up now. I will also say that I have officially [...]
For the first time ever, I was 4 rows off the glass, where my Ducks come onto the ice. So, for that alone, this was a good game for me. (My sons saw Giguere for the first time and literally froze. THAT was worth the price of admission for me! LOL) It wasn’t, however, a [...]
Well, I knew it would be odd watching the game last night between Anaheim and Dallas; not only with the traded players, but Bobby Ryan is now sporting #9, instead of #54. What is this team doing to me???? (Side note: Ryan wearing #9 now means that Anaheim can’t retire Paul Kariya’s sweater….guess Selanne [...]
