Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 3 Comments »

So the All Star break this year was bookended by boring games.  It happens.  For some more All-Star stuff and a discussion on the Avs game, check out our new podcast.  The Sharks managed to coast to a 3-0 win ...

All Star Game and Second Half Predictions

Saturday, January 24th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »

Whether you think the All Star game is amazing (some) or a snooze-fest (me), the 2nd half of the best season in Sharks history is soon upon us. This year we can all look ourselves in the mirror and say, ...

Sharks Manage to Wake Up, Beat Bobby Lou

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

I thought Claude Lemieux played very well in his debut for the Sharks last night; he was hitting people, trying to make plays with the puck, and managed to keep up skating-wise.  The rest of the Sharks?  Not so much.  ...

Historic Day

It truly is a momentous occasion- Claude Lemieux makes his debut for the Sharks tonight.  Why, did something else important happen today?  Actually, it's funny because I remember election night- Sharks vs. Wild.  And now I will remember inauguration night ...

I Believe We Had That One

What’s the Opposite of a Trap Game?

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 6 Comments »

Ok, ok, I guess I called the Tampa Bay game a bit wrong.  I mistakenly thought the Lightning were something resembling an NHL team, and they just aren't.  They're a motley collection of players and coaches, most of whom aren't ...

Injury Bug Continues to Bite

Latest news is Lukowich needs another surgery for a sports hernia, and he'll be out three weeks.  Word is they scheduled it now so some of the recuperation time falls over the all star break, and Luko may only miss ...

Shea Weber For Norris? Excuse Me?

Friday, January 9th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 6 Comments »

In his recent column for TSN Scott Cullen hands out midseason NHL honors and got some right, including the Calder to Blue Jackets rook Steve Mason, but I must take exception to his choices for Norris. Extreme exception. Does he ...
