The San Jose Sharks have completed their first of two February road trips with mixed results. The game against the Boston Bruins pretty much lived up to expectations, both teams showed why they’re on top of the respective conferences with the Sharks coming out on top. The Sharks managed to finish the trip [...]
The B’s loss to the New Jersey Devils last night reminds me of my bad beat at the poker table at Foxwoods Casino. I had Big Slick diamond suited. My first playable hand of the day. I was short stack and decided to go all in when the flop came up [...]
Quick-Who is the 3rd highest paid player on the Bruins roster? Most know Chara is 1st at 7.5 million and Marc Savard is 2nd at 5 million. Is it Kessel, Sturm, Ryder? No, it is Patrice Bergeron at 4.75 million against the cap. I hate to complain about a young player [...]
They did it. After three disappointing losses the Sharks managed to rise to the occasion once again and beat the tough opponent. Let me say this – the Boston Bruins are a very good hockey club, it was great to be able to finally see them play. I don’t think they’re very [...]

Both players had to sit out one game for ‘shunning’ the [...]
The guys on NHL Home ice were talking about the San Jose Sharks – Detroit Red Wings game and one guy emphatically stated “it doesn’t matter!” His argument was it is only January, it is just one game. He said the Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks – good for them but until the [...]
I feel a lot better now that the San Jose Sharks have bounced back, on the road no less, to put together back-to-back wins against the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks. I didn’t have a very good feeling going into the previous game against the Calgary Flames, something just told me it wasn’t [...]
When I started this blog I did some research on just what it takes to sustain such a project. One thing I read was that the average age of a successful blog was 30+ months. I also read that, despite many people’s passion, the early days of a blog will test their owner’s [...]
Dear Mr. Old Timer,
I really appreciate your dedication to writing for our blog. Because of your loyalty to your team I’ve actually managed to follow, with some interest, the progress of the Vancouver Canucks. I remember back when the season first started you had reserved enthusiasm around your expectations for this team. Specifically, [...]
