Edmonton Oilers
The 2008/09 Edmonton Oilers Return…
Last night I felt like I was watching last year’s Edmonton Oilers team. The first 10 minutes was fantastic; it was 1-1 and a fast paced exciting game. Then Chicago scored to make to 2-1 and poof the Edmonton Oilers disappeared.
The score of 4-3 (Chicago) doesn’t represent the game at all. Thank goodness for Khabibulin [...]
The San Jose Sharks And The Curse Of Jim Kelly
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 [...]
San Jose Sharks Hold Lead, Game In Hand
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 [...]
Why The Cardinals Helped Me Feel Better About The Sharks
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 [...]
The Canucks and the Curse of Mediocrity
I’ve spent all of my life as a fan of the Detroit Tigers, so I’ve supported mediocre teams for more years than I like to remember. Sure the Tigers went to the World Series in 2006, but before that you have to go back to the 1980’s to find Tiger teams that performed at [...]
Sharks Suffer Their Worst Loss of the Season
Sometimes a curse is a blessing. The thing that bothers me the most actually worked in my favor yesterday: the lack of hockey coverage meant I didn’t have to endure endless reports of just how badly the San Jose Sharks had been beaten by the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks played awful, so [...]
Canucks On Target With One More Road Game To Go
Back on November 16th, when the Canucks were about to embark on the longest stretch of road games that they will encounter this season, I wrote that:
“The formula for making the playoffs can be relatively simple. Win two thirds of your games at home and half of your road games and you end up [...]
Hockey Night In San Jose
BACKGROUND: The Old Timer, who currently resides in Canada and is our contributing Vancouver Canucks writer, is the father of Paul, a good friend of The .Net.
I thought I would let you know that the Oiler game against the Sharks tonight will be part of Hockey Night in Canada’s triple header and will be [...]
Canuck Power Play Clicks
Home ice advantage and winning 38 of 65 face offs had a lot to do with the Canuck 6 to 3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, but scoring 4 goals on 6 power play opportunities was the big difference in the game. Mason Raymond, the 23 year old second year [...]
