ESPN and The Toronto Globe are reporting that the Sharks had a deal in place to send Kyle McLaren to the Leafs for Pavel Kubina. Yesterday on TSN, several analysts believed the Sharks were not done after acquiring Campbell ...

THANK YOU HOCKEY GODS!!

I've been asking...no pleading, begging for Doug Wilson to do whatever to takes to get Brian Campbell in a Sharks uniform. It ends up whatever it "took" was only Steve Bernier and a 1st round pick. Really? That's it? I ...

Brian Campbell - BOOYA

He comes to town, with Steve Bernier and a 1st round pick headed back to Buffalo. Huge deal, and a great one for the Sharks. With Doug Wilson's and Campbell's shared close ties to the Ottawa 67's, I ...

It's  before 6am, and both grier and myself are awake and tuned to TSN's "Tradecentre '08" coverage on the NHL network.  I'm just pissed I have to go to work today.

... the one eyed man is king. That's what I felt like I was watching yesterday in the clash of the two worst-playing teams, the Sharks and the Flyers. The Flyers triumphed in the who-can-turn-over-the-puck-more-egregiously contest, and I ...

Just got back from Vegas where I stole big bucks from the MGM Sportsbook going 3-0 on NHL picks this weekend. Thank you to the Blackhawks, Canadiens and Predators for supporting my habit. Great to come home and see that nothing ...

Get the F Away From Me
