Most of the jocks on NHL Home Ice have been unabashedly loving the Sharks lately as though they're invincible. I mean, they still give other teams like the Wings, Caps and B's credit where credit is due (hell, they've even been giving props to the Stars lately for turning the corner), but that day, that statement...it baffled me too, especially from Espo who should know better. The Sharks are doing fantastically in the regular season, there's no doubting that...but they still need to shake the playoff-choker label that they've earned (much like we had to).

And it's funny too... On NHL Home Ice the other day, Espo and Ross were talking about not being able to picture the Sharks losing more than 2 in a row since they "weren't that kind of team", but could totally picture the Wings doing it (as they had just come off the 5-game losing streak). Let's hope the skid continues, just to further prove that they're human.

I checked it earlier today on TSN and they were showing 12:30pm EST as well.

Love, love, LOVE Treble Charger. Have all their albums, plus the debut album from Bill Priddle's new band The Priddle Concern. During the intermission of today's Wings/Oilers game, I've been listening to Duncan Sheik's new album "Whisper House".

No, Brooks! Er, wait... Reading the article, I didn't realize Manny was already 36. Might be over for him.

True, hadn't considered that. Burkie then?

The Caps are gonna pick him up, mark my words.

So it's not just us Crosby-haters. Calculating those results, it means that approximately 11% of active players think Sid is a whiner.

Hide the rope.

I have a feeling Jiri's going to be the one who takes over the whole birthday-pie-in-the-face schtick once Drapes retires. What a goofball. http://www.freep.com/article/20090204/BLOG09/90204039

I see Zata much like Yzerman - stoic and silent most of the time, but a goofball at heart (remember the Stevie Y 'Kiss Cam' incident? ).

Only 10 points back...I'm gainin' on ya, FRW! Friday: Montreal @ Buffalo Columbus @ Pittsburgh New Jersey @ Atlanta Nashville @ Minnesota NY Rangers @ Dallas Saturday: Philadelphia @ Boston Anaheim @ Calgary Edmonton @ Detroit Toronto @ Montreal Buffalo @ Ottawa Los Angeles @ New Jersey Florida @ Washington San Jose @ Columbus NY Islanders @ Tampa Bay Colorado @ St Louis Carolina @ Phoenix Chicago @ Vancouver Sunday: Detroit @ Pittsburgh Edmonton @ Minnesota Philadelphia @ Atlanta Nashville @ Dallas

Yeah, that's going to be an annoying broadcast. If anything, they should be gushing over Malkin.

Just listened to: Treble Charger, "Don't Believe It All" Now listening to: Bloc Party, "Luno"

At first glance, the shot totals in the 4rd would appear troublesome. But considering the Blues got that gift of a 5-min PP, it's not terribly surprising.

Didn't we have Tomas Sandstrom at one point during the mid-90s?

Yeah, you and me both. Seeing that his CAREER could be over after that game...yikes.

I'd love to see the Caps come out of the East this season. Ovie's a beast.

Ovechkin with a hat trick over the Sens today in the Caps' 7-4 victory today. 5 goals for Ovie in the last two games. Not too shabby. Honestly, there's nothing embarrassing about losing to this Caps team. If we lose to the Blues tomorrow, then we can press the big red button.

Wow, I mean, I can understand a ref missing a call - it happens. But this? This is beyond completely blowing a call. This is a case of "Ah, screw the rulebook, we're doing what we want out here because we're the officials!". Someone needs to get disciplined over this one, hardcore.

And I was ahead of the curve getting my Lilja jersey. Ha.

Good lord, Rafalski has been BRUTAL today. Hopefully this extended losing streak will get them off their asses.

Hudler nails the post.

ANOTHER delay of game for the Caps.

The hell? Whoa, 5v3 PP.
