« October 2007 | Main | December 2007 » November 29, 2007 I Hate #*@&!#& ShootoutsSharks 2, Kings 3 SO Do you remember the good ol' days of the NHL when you could play 65 minutes of hockey and walk away with a tie? Boy...I sure do miss that. As a fan, you could watch your team play hard, gain a point, and still feel good about it. Unfortunately for Sharks fans, when San Jose participates in the shootout, we usually don't end up feeling good about it. Continue reading "I Hate #*@&!#& Shootouts" » San Jose Sharks Sit in ThirdTime off hurts Sharks Usually, two losses in 12 days wouldn't be bad during a team's average NHL schedule. However, as I've mentioned before, San Jose's schedule has been anything but average. Continue reading "San Jose Sharks Sit in Third" » Back on the Roller CoasterSharks 1, Kings 2 San Jose has been given a very odd schedule by the NHL; consequently, Sharks fans were stuck waiting a week between games. This gave seven days to stew about the loss to Anaheim, seven days to look forward to an opportunity to exact revenge on a division foe. Unfortunately, like Spider Man 3, the loss to the Los Angeles Kings was a huge let down, and it officially puts Team Teal back on their roller coaster of a season (see San Jose Sharks Win-Loss Chart). Continue reading "Back on the Roller Coaster" » Sharks First in Pacific, but Not Best in Pacific...YetSharks 1, Ducks 2 SO On Saturday night, the San Jose Sharks lost to the Anaheim Ducks, in a shootout, for the second time this season. The single point kept Team Teal in first place. Unfortunately, the result of the game showed me that San Jose still has a lot of work to do. Continue reading "Sharks First in Pacific, but Not Best in Pacific...Yet" » San Jose Owns Phoenix...AgainSharks 6, Coyotes 0 Earlier in the season, I blogged about how the Sharks were barely winning games that could have gone either way, and how I wanted them to dominate like a real Stanley Cup contender. Well, when they play the Phoenix Coyotes, I get what I want. Continue reading "San Jose Owns Phoenix...Again" » Sharks Defeat Stars in ShootoutSan Jose gives a point away The San Jose Sharks extended their winning streak to three games by defeating the Dallas Stars on the road. With an early lead, Team Teal looked like they were on their way to an easy two points. However, the Dallas Stars weren't going to go down without a fight. Continue reading "Sharks Defeat Stars in Shootout" » Gretzky Fined and Boynton SuspendedNHL adds insult to Phoenix's injury After being embarrassed by the San Jose Sharks in a 5-0 loss, the Phoenix Coyotes now have to deal with off-ice issues as well. Thanks to a very bad decision made in the last moments of the game Monday night, Nick Boynton now has to serve a one game suspension and his coach, Wayne Gretzky, must pay a fine. Continue reading "Gretzky Fined and Boynton Suspended" » Sharks Dominate...at HOME?!Sharks 5, Coyotes 0 On Monday night, the San Jose Sharks defeated the Phoenix Coyotes with a very strong showing on both the offensive and defensive side of the puck. With all of the lines going and Evgeni Nabokov stopping 25 shots on net, the Coyotes had no chance at winning this one. Continue reading "Sharks Dominate...at HOME?!" » Loss...Win...Still in First PlaceSharks 2, Ducks 3 SO Over the weekend, the San Jose Sharks played .500 hockey again, however, Team Teal did pick up three points to maintain first place in the Pacific Division. With a shootout loss to Anaheim and then a sound win over Phoenix, San Jose pushed it's home record to 2-4. Continue reading "Loss...Win...Still in First Place" » Bad Calls & Bad Goaltending Lead to LossDallas 3, San Jose 1 Thanks to some very questionable calls that did not go San Jose's way, Team Teal found themselves on the losing end of yet another game in which they outshot their opponents. However, it wasn't simply the referees who were at fault. In fact, Evgeni Nabokov should take some blame as well. Continue reading "Bad Calls & Bad Goaltending Lead to Loss" » Ryane Clowe Will Miss Some TimeInjured knee puts tough winger out of commission On October 27th, Ryane Clowe injured his knee in a loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The extent of the injury was unknown for a while; in fact, even recent reports state that his ACL is "damaged" which doesn't really clear things up. However, one thing is for sure, Number 29 will be out for a while. Continue reading "Ryane Clowe Will Miss Some Time" » Lose One, Win One...Anyone Surprised?Sharks 2, Kings 5 In San Jose's first divisional back-to-back this year, they lost one and won one. Moreover, the loss was at home while the win was on the road. Hmm...can't say that I'm surprised. Through the first month of the 2007 - 2008 season, this has been the trend. Fortunately, the rest of the Pacific isn't doing much better and the Sharks find themselves in first place again. Continue reading "Lose One, Win One...Anyone Surprised?" » Rule 10.5 - NHL Rule BookNHL Rule 10.5 - Stick Measurement All hockey fans know that there are certain guidelines that must be followed in regards to the players' sticks. If a stick is found to be "illegal", then the offending player will be assessed a two minute minor penalty. However, did you know that there is an official request submission process, and that offending players can get fined and suspended? Did you also know that if the team that requested the measurement is proven wrong, then they get a two minute penalty and a fine? Continue reading "Rule 10.5 - NHL Rule Book" » |
