The owner told them he was going to hire Mike Keenan?


:-) :-)

I don't think fighting and over reacting to a clean hit has ever saved a coaches job. I will leave it at that.


After I typed that Tom I realized you had to be joking. Ooo well either way Sharks have won 4 in a row. Wings are slowing down a little and its starting to look like a little after mid season things will start looking like most would expect them to.

I think the Sharks or the Kings will win the pacific, the Canucks the Northwest, the Hawks or Wings win the central. I keep wondering if the age of the Wings will become a factor down the stretch. The Central has been such a cake walk for the Wings for so many years. Its nice to see some of the teams putting up a fight.

Hawks win the Central, Mike? Dang, I am just hoping they make the playoffs! :-) But all kidding aside, I am hoping they have gotten things turned around, and will only get better when Kane and Hossa get back.

:-)
Oh Please not that Again
:-):-)

I know ppl bang the age drum about the Wings every year, yet they usually have the best second half record of any team. That said, looks like we lost Cleary for a while. It's a shame too because he was on fire.

Anyone watching the World Jr.'s?

I have been off since last Thursday and will be until the 3rd.... How nice would it be to something like this to be going on in your home town and just go down and watch a game or 2 every day.

Ozzie got win # 400. He had to work for it too. Congrats!

Personally, I could have waited one more game....

Keeping lots of track, been off the forum lately because I was in Buffalo! Caught the Can/Czk game and the Slvk/Ger game, also sadly a bills game :P Was great times! Cant wait until tonight's game! Even though I am back in Ottawa...

Bell Capital Cup starts tomorrow, those of you with kids playing puck peewee and under should consider the trip next year to ottawa!

Sharks implode in the third period for a second game in a row and get to play the Hawks tomorrow.
Could be a bad road trip

Turco will play tomorrow for the Hawks, Crawford is still down with the flu.

Toews is out 2 weeks with a shoulder injury, time for Hossa to step up and Kane to stop skating like a ballerina. Too much speed on the Sharks for Kane to play on only one side of the red line.

Ive been staying out of this thread for a while, Blue Jackets are back to their old ways :-)

On a good note though, heading to Pittsburgh tomorrow to take in the sights before the Winter Classic

Barry y avoid the thread when your team is playing bad?
I call out my team all the time. Its not homer banter its hockey banter.

I haven't really watched them enough lately to have too much to say about them game to game. It's a lot easier to keep up with the local AHL team that I can go and watch whenever I want than to follow a team 600 miles away. If you want opinions on the Norfolk Admirals I have got them coming out the wazoo.

But I do have a few CBJ opinions...Mason is not the top tier goaltender they need. The team shows signs of brilliance but when they lose...they LOSE, the young players show potential but can't get things totally put together. The defense is slow, period.Inconsistent is the word that defines them.

There you drug it out of me :-)

The B's have taken over first in the division And 3rd in the conference.:-)

I know it's early but they have played a pretty good couple of games.
Florida panthers a little lazy but they got the W
The lightning much better.
But the Preds game last week when the fights broke out did this get the team to gel?
I hope so!:-)

Should be a barn burner tonight? The gloves will be off quick :-)

Hawks are at least back in the hunt, closing down the "games in hand" and staying with the pack. Leaving work early with my co-worlers to have some brews, wings, and watch them play the Sharks.

Have fun Tom. :-)

Heres to hoping Niemi can hold em off again. :-)

Is he playing for sure? I know Nitti played yesterday, so I assume he is.

I just realized the guy in the NHL that looks closest to me in his skating style is Douglas Murray. And the Sharks announcers were talking a couple games ago that while he is an extremely solid defenseman, his skating leaves a lot to be desired. :-)

I'm gonna have some brews and watch the Hawks as well. Maybe a cigar later.
