San Jose Sharks

The Toronto Maple Leafs had themselves a busy day yesterday.  They signed defesman Francois Beauchemin after having agreed a three-year deal with the Leafs worth an average of $3.8 million per season.  He’ll be a welcome addition to the Toronto blueline.  In 246 career games split between the Montreal Canadiens, the Columbus Blue Jackets and [...]

This time of year we try to focus our desire for hockey.  Since their are no games we’re forced to speculate what can or can’t happen.  Who will or won’t be traded, who will or won’t be signed or who will be let go.  For Ottawa Senators forward Dany Heatley it seems that it has [...]

Last night some amazing hockey was played again. Jonas Hiller and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 to force a decisive Game 7 in the Western Conference semifinal series.  But let’s talk about this game.  The Ducks returned to the form that carried the team to a league-best 10-2-1 mark in the [...]

Ok, first off I have to say that the Anaheim Ducks should change their name back to the Mighty Ducks.  The game I watched last night between the Ducks and San Jose showed me that these Ducks have what it takes to go all the way.  They have a unique blend of snipers, savvy veterans [...]

Last night in San Jose, the Sharks fighting for their playoff lives came away with a critical victory over the Anaheim Ducks.  The Ducks had taken  a commanding 3-1 lead in the series and put the Sharks backs up against the wall.  San Jose won 3-2 in an overtime thriller to stay alive in the [...]

Detroit took care of the Columbus Blue Jackets beating them 6-5 and sweeping the Blue Jackets out of the playoffs in 4 straight.  Columbus made a valiant effort with 4 2nd period goals to tie the score at 5 however Detroit scored the only goal in the 3rd period to seal the game and the [...]

After watching the Vancouver Canucks win 3-2 in overtime over the St.Louis Blues I really am believing that Vancouver has what it takes to win it all, the Stanley Cup.  Roberto Luongo stopped 45 of the 47 shots he faced to record another playoff win.  Luongo’s play has been stellar, he has risen to the [...]

I think for everyone who loves hockey yesterday’s games were absolutely awesome.  You had the Vancouver Canucks go to St.Louis and beat the Blues 3-2 in a gritty all out scrap for the win.  In the process the Canucks took a 3-0 lead in the series and have all but assured themselves of moving on [...]

It occurred to me while watching the Boston Bruins dominate the Montreal Canadiens that so far this years playoff race is offering no real surprises with the exception of the Anaheim Ducks beating the San Jose Sharks in their first meeting.  Last night saw the Boston Bruins, the New York Rangers, the Detroit Red Wings [...]

Last night showed us that the playoff seedings really don’t matter, every team is made up of a roster of professionals who can win on any given night.  The San Jose Sharks dropped their opener to the Anaheim Ducks being shutout 2-0 in the process.  Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller stopped all 35 shots he faced [...]
