John Scott is a bad bad man.

Both Wallin and Huskins were injured in the 1st period and did not return. The Sharks had 4 dman for the 2nd and 3rd period. They eeked out a 4-3 win with the Oilers making a third period push.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Thank goodness it was the Oilers, Mike, a better team might have taken better advantage. I saw the third period, Edmonton made it a game.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Agreed I was listening on the radio and you could here the utoh factor in the announcers.

This does not look good for the upcoming Wings and Hawks game.

They had Scotty in the both between second and third period. Dude is such a stud. Talked about how he was never the best player growing up, got cut from travel teams just kept plugging away. Then in crapchester He had a blown out shoulder one year then blew out his right acl the following year, then his left acl the year after that. 7 years in Rochester. He said the injuries made him work harder and harder in the off season. His work ethic off the ice and selling out on the ice is why he made it. Going to email his wife and tell her awesome interview and send him some love. Dude is a beast all heart. Why can't some others take his approach.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

What in the wild wild world of sports is going on here.

B's down 3-0 after the first.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Saw Scotty at the rink tonight. His youngest boy Foster is now playing in mini mites with Micah. He has a nice shinner where the puck caught him, but no long term issues. talked to his wife after practice and told her to send some love from the fans for the radio interview he gave the other night.

I am almost afraid to make a comment on how well the Penguins are doing...but I will anyway!

How bout them Penguins!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

How about them Thrashers?! Five game win streak with quality wins including a 5-0 win over the Caps, 5-1 win over the Wings, 3-0 win over the Habs and 4-1 win over the Bs. Four of the top teams just getting handled by this young Thrasher squad.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wowzers, snoozer last night, attended sens/oil, and again scotiabank was a library and 40% of people attending were oil fans. I am sure the sens would be a much better team without moving a single player if they played in a town with fans who cheer them on rather than sit there and scratch their nuts...

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

And the B's are going in the opposite Direction. Lost 4 of the last five games.

I gotta say that kid Kane is one tough SOB. He punches like Lightning and he hits hard. I loved when he knocked out Matt Cooke.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Blues vs. Hawks tonight. Should be a great game.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

There was a rumor about an Eastern Conference, but I thought it was disproved?


;)

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It is embarrassing the teams the east put together. Sure the east has some of the best individual talent, but they dont have any teams per say... The west is loaded with teams that can get ya at many different levels.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wings vs Sharks tonight!

Flame war thereafter....lol :fl

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You planning on fighting with yourself?
I am expecting a loss. They are missing a lot of guys with injuries and have a lot of minor leaguers in the lineup right now and some walking wounded. Dont forget last game they skated 2 periods with only 4 dman. Given the Wings passing I expect a lot of rookies to get lost out there and eaten up.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Just for fun...

Nah, I'm just having fun. Looks like there might not be a game at all...

Power failure at HP Pavilion puts status of Red Wings game against Sharks in question

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

"The Sharks will start Antero Niitymaki in goal tonight but are missing three injured defresemen-- Niclas Wallin, Kent Huskins and Jason Demers. They will be replaced by Derek Joslin, Justin Braun and Mike Moore, recalled from Worcester (AHL)."

Not sure if Seto or Nichol will play either. As they say good teams find a way to win. I dont think their will be a lot of happy Sharks fans tonight, but guess we shall wait and see.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

it's cliche but, that's why the play the games

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

He is a tough kid, too bad the Kane in Chicago can't hit like that. ;)

Can't wait!

Can't remember the last time something like that happened.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Kaner:dance:

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Toews has 2 goals now too :O

I won't be watching the whole Wings game. Gotta wake up early tomorrow. DVR is recording it though :tu

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

What a great game:noon

Wings at Sharks right?

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Sharp has been on fire the past five games:ih

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Wow, five years ago today Thornton was traded to the Sharks. I have always liked the guy and I'm sure the Sharks have.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

To say our D looked like crap is putting it nicely. Hell the kids had issues even getting it out if their zone. That was uuuuuuuuugly. O well atleast I expected it.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

They mentioned it at the game that this has happened at the HP Pavilion before. I believe they said in '95 a Wings/Sharks game was postponed or delayed due to a power issue. Not sure of any others.

I watched the first two periods. Went to be around midnight. Wings stretched it to a 2 goal lead just before the second intermission. Fun to watch if you're a Wing's fan, the passing was fantastic. That said I think Mike was right, the young D-men of the Sharks made some of those pretty passes possible.

Look at what I got today :tu

EXCELLENT way to spend New Year's Day!

Merry Christmas to Berry! Very nice :tu

How do the Habs lose to Edmonton? :confused:

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

My head just about exploded when my wife said she was fine with getting the tickets.

Blue Jackets drop 3 in a row :td

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Good find. I wish I could have gone to the first one in Chicago. I watched it on TV, but it must have been great to be there.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

You and a million other hockey fans!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It was awesome! My boss gave me two tickets for Christmas.

Here's the pre-game with Tony Esposito, Denis Savard, Stan Makita and Bobby Hull. They even brought out some Cubs. On the right is Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg and Billy Williams.

Have a great time at the Winter Classic.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

great pics! thanks

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Best part of the game was Detroit getting the "W"...and warming up at the bar afterword! Go Red Wings.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I used to like you, Eric.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Nice seeing Wings fans in Illinois :D

Respect your Pops! :mad:

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Stars give up just one goal and beat the Caps? (Yeah, we may have been gifted a call with 10 seconds left in the game... but don't worry about that.) Backup goalie and all? 5 game winning streak? I thought this team wouldn't even sniff 80 points this year.

I'll take it...

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It's amazing what your team can do when they set up in the neutral zone and stop the "dump and chase" crap.

Having Savard back in the lineup may have boosted the team's moral a bit too :noon

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

Mike must be happy, Niemi finally had himself a game.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

I agree. They really turned it on in that one. I believe it was tied at 3-3 before the Wings poured in 3 more for a 6-3 final.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

It seems Wings fans are everywhere. You always see a decent number in opponents arenas for the away games.

:banger

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

This Mike is thrilled. A shutout for the old fantasy pool is always welcome! Hopefully he can keep this up and win over the number 1 spot. It took him a while to get going last year then he won the cup!

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

C'mon now, I know the Wings are #2 in your heart, icehog!

Growning up in Michigan, I hated the Blackhawks. Now that I've been in Chicago for a while I've grown to like them. Heck, I hope they win every game...except for the ones where they play the Wings.

Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
 

This is a neat little site that I found a couple years ago that gives percent chance of teams that will make the playoffs. I meant to post it last year leading up to the playoffs because that is the only time it really means anything. You can choose your team from the left hand column and it will give you more information about other games and their importance to your teams playoff chances. Like I mentioned before though, doesn't mean much until later in the season when it has more data to go by.
