Well it is apparently time to make the Sharks miserable again. The venerable fish folks are sittin on a relly sweet rcord right now…and you know how we love to crash a Pacific Division rival’s record party. (19-3-1) and looking for a 7th straight win as they swim into Jobbing.com arena, here’s hoping we can […]

Another win courtesy of the Swedish Wolf and another host of unlikely suspects. I guess they really were glad to be home. They sure gave us a great welcome back present.
Speaking of unlikely suspects… how damn fantastic has the lil BabyFaced Cossack been playin since he came back to the big club? Enver freakin Lisin […]

Hope you all had an absolutely maahvelous! turkey day. I probably don’t say this often enough but thank you to all who drop by and visit and much love to those of you who leave your comments or drop emails. You are much appreciated.
OUCH! Joker will be out for 2 weeks. (we’ll be taking on […]

Holy Hannah! Niiice win! Made my Thanksgiving day start a LOT happier.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Hope all of you,your family and friends are all safe and happy. Wishing you all good food, much laughter and happiness!
We continue to own the Columbus BlueJackets. By the skin of our teeth and on the backs of Tellqvist […]

November can best be characterised by the word OUCH! ok,
DAMMMITTTALLLTOHELLLL!!!!! probably fits the scenario better but… I was trying to
be nice.
Joker has fallen into a wicked trough of invisibility more nights than
not. The rookies have provided a few happy moments but those are
overshadowed by the vets not tallying enough markers during those spots. It
keeps being […]

Here are our top 5 forwards thru the first 15 games.
Doan at number 1 - the captain is making hay early. Rather than the slow start he habitually falls into, Doaner made a supreme effort again this season to get motoring in high gear early. 6 goals and 4 assists in 9 games ain’t too […]

Stop bitchin that there is more bull ridin/fly fishin/racks of antlers on Versus than hockey.

It looks like the V channel is renewing its love for the greatest game on Earth in a whole new way. Versus has a new gig for us hockey bloggers called Versus Hockey Blogger Insiders. Kukla’s Korner, Mike Chen, 2 Minutes […]

Ok, Rick McNashsty and his boys are guarding their town.They are bringin a 3 game winning streak to the table. It will get ugly. After taking down the Oil, Montreal and the Flames, these boys think they are rollin deep and dirty. Our earlier season trouncing won’t mean squat to them except extra motivation to […]

Well the changes WG made certainly appeared to work. The Flames had no idea what hit them. Between the pieces falling into place sweetly for the Yotes and the Flames own lack of fire, the boys were really clicking on Tuesday. It will take even more of the same to beat the Canucks tonight.
Physicality and […]

[0-2-1] —- [2-0-0]
I guess this game will be a difinitive test of what we’ve done to improve. Other than the Ded Things no one else owned us quite like the Hawks did last year. *ok ok BT, the Sharks bit us a few times too*
We’ll probably see the same lines again with mixing and matching […]
