Your Hockey Team Is Playing Today
…and your hockey team is not playing tomorrow, another rarity in the league (with the exception of All-Star and Winter Olympic breaks). According to the NHL, they anticipate 250,000 fans will flock to arenas around North America to watch a game. Other fun stats (from USA Today):
“Of the NHL’s 67 officials, counting [...]
Proposal For A Delayed Penalty Rule Change
There’s a new proposal in town, and its name is the “clear-the-puck-instead-of-just-touching-it” rule change. Apparently the owners are floating the idea of a new rule where, if your team is guilty of a delayed penalty AND your team is defending in it’s own zone, your team must clear the puck - just touching [...]
Your Team is Playing Tomorrow
For only the second time in NHL history all 30 teams are playing tomorrow. The last time this happened was October 5, 2005. That night was the first night back after the lockout and apparently the NHL wanted to hit the ice skating.
In case you’re wondering, here’s how everyone fared that night - [...]
Believe It or Not, The San Jose Sharks Toughest Opponent Is The Florida Panthers
Tomorrow night’s San Jose Sharks game against the Florida Panthers is, believe it or not, the Sharks toughest opponent to date. Of all the opponents faced so far only one team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, had a win when playing the Sharks. Here are all the records of the teams at the [...]
No Defense But San Jose Sharks Still Beat Philadelphia Flyers - Again
I didn’t get to see last night’s game but I did catch the game replay on NHL Home Ice. I know Doug Wilson always envisioned a fast paced, uptempo Sharks oh-fence but geez…at what cost to the defense?! Let’s review:
2 Games
2 Overtime Periods
1 Shoot Out
22 Goals
2 Short Handed Goals (Jeff Carter (PHI) 1 [...]
NHL Expansion Team Near Toronto?
The conversation about adding a second hockey team in Toronto is coming up again. The guys on NHL Live (on XM NHL Home Ice) have been talking about it for the last two days. The argument is if the Southern California region can support both the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks, [...]
Sharks - 24 Hours from Low to High
I was there and I got that sinking feeling again. The first period between the San Jose Sharks and the Philadelphia Flyers felt eerily familiar: down 2 goals after a handful of fights and sloppy play by the boys in teal. The game started out exactly the same as the loss the night [...]
Canucks – 24 Hours from High to Low
What a difference a day makes. The Canucks left Motown late Thursday night with a come from behind 4 to 3 overtime win against the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings. On Friday night after only thirteen minutes of the first period they were down 3 to 0 to Buffalo in a game [...]
Vancouver Canucks – A New Era Begins
If you don’t follow the Vancouver Canucks on a regular basis you may not recognize this year’s team. So here’s a little background that you may find helpful
In the final two weeks of last season the Canucks imploded losing 7 of their last 8 games and finishing 3 points out of the last [...]
Ducks A Very Imperfect 0-4
MJ Kasprzak over at mvn.com wrote about his reservations surrounding the Sharks and their 4-0 record. After last night’s loss to Edmonton the Anaheim Ducks are 0-4 and I fear this does not bode well for the Sharks.
In the 80’s and 90’s when the San Francisco 49ers dominated the NFL their division was [...]
