On February 16, just one week ago, I discussed my thoughts about the San Jose Sharks most recent road trip and questioned the value of the overtime loss. At that time the Sharks, Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings we separated by a mere 4 points. The Sharks were behind the Bruins by 3 [...]
The Ducks played this past weekend in back to back games Friday and Saturday night. Friday night saw the Ducks in Detroit to play the Red Wings. They played a much better game than the score indicates; the Ducks lost 5-2. Giguere was in the net and although the score says otherwise, he stopped a [...]
This was a better game than the Thrasher game – by far – but the result is still a loss. The Kings played a hard game, the Ducks kept it interesting. Well, if you were in the arena anyway. I’m not sure how it came across on television, but the crowd energy was up, as [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

I had seats behind the Away Goal, about five rows up, which gave me a good view on three of the Caps four goals in their win over Detroit. Before the game, I was really excited to see how the Caps would match up against the Wings, as well as just being plain excited to [...]
If you believe in karma then maybe the San Jose Sharks have one in the bank. I talked about the “controversy” surrounding the Detroit Red Wings and the NHL’s unofficial sanctions against Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk for missing the All Star Game. Both players had to sit out one game for ‘shunning’ the [...]
The San Jose Sharks returned from the All Star break looking very refreshed as they easily beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 last night. Evgeni Nabokov made some incredible saves and was helped by a great defensive play by Derek Joslin. I think Claude Lemieux was less impressive than he was against Vancouver, [...]
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 [...]
