Article from today's New York Times on the fight:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/23/sports/hockey/23brawl.html

Best quote: The actor Denis Leary, who is from Massachusetts, may reflect the feelings of many Bruins fans. In an e-mail message, he said that anyone who believed “that two tickets and four plastic cups” of beer entitled you to “antagonize men who beat the living headlights out of each other for a living deserves to have his keister kicked.”

In your dreams....refs did their best to put the Wings back in the game, especially that freaking dive from Berschmoozie.

Nice to see Dustin Byfuglein send Christina Applegater into next week as well. :r

It is. ;)

The Wings definitely are decimated with injuries, I think they wll be much stronger when Zetterberg, Fippula, Franzen and Kronwall get back. Goaltending, which was supposed to be the Hawk's Achilles Heel, looks like it might be the Wings biggest problem when they get healthy.

Right now after the line with Datsyuk, Holmstrom and Berschmoozie, they don't have much up front...they really miss Henrik and Franzen. :2

Wings need some players back. Plain and simple. Other then the Datsuyk line there is no other option. When you have Kris Draper leading a PP unit that doesn't give me a warm cuddly feeling. In fact it's like taking a pin and putting it in my eye. :mad: Chicago came in got great goaltending from their backup and took care of business.

Series is at 2-1 for the season. I believe the next matchup is 1/17 @ the Joe. Hopefully we'll at least have Zetterburg back. Then 2 more after that both in Chicago.

No shiet man. If you would have told me the Yotes would have 50 points at this point of the season I would have taken that bet. The system implemented is working. Best of all you can tell the players are buying in cause they see the results and are keeping it going.

WTF happened to the FLyers? Talk about a bust.

Dont hate. Hell even the NHL network was talking about the road trips you guys got comming and saying you will likely drop a few as the road record is not that great. I am starting to love clown shoes BTW. :r

And a road record of 9-5-2 ain't that great? 25 of the other teams in the NHL would kill for it. And the Hawks are 7-3 in their last 10 on the road, Sharks are 6-4. ;)

Watching this I am going to spend so much time working with my kids that play on passing. Man the USA Jr. team is making continued bad passes. If not for Campbells goaltending this could be bad. Short passes over passing, passing to no one. I know I could not hang with any of these guys, but man some bad passing.

All this pond hockey hype makes me sad. My son will never get to know pond hockey.:( One of these days ifhe sticks with it I may end up buying him some synthetic ice. Close thing we can get to it in Cali.

Big win for the Hawks over the Devils, 5-1.

Coolest part was seeing John Madden score of his former goaltender and best friend, Martin Brodeur. John asked Marty to bring four signed sticks for him to Chicago. Marty joked in a pregame interview that he was waiting until after the game to give them to Madden, and that he would not give them to him if he scored a goal.

Glad to see a home team finally win the Winter Classic, how cool for the fans at Fenway.

The first period was a delight for amateur, beer league and pick-up players to watch. There were more missed passes, overskated pucks, etc, in the first period alone than usually happen in the whole NHL in a month. As close to pond hockey as the NHL can get. :tu

The Blues third goal, a meaningless goal with 2 minutes left, went in on a slapshot that bounced off Keith Tkachuk's teeth. He had to be rushed off the ice, bleeding badly. I am sure he would have rather lost 6-2.

The Sharks got destroyed by the Kings tonight. As a Sharks fan this is not good the Kings have gained 7 out of a possible 8 points from the Sharks and Nabokov looked bad tonight. This is a potential first round matchup also. OOOO no could the kings be the new sharks killer?

It's about time. The Sharks have owned the Kings for years. Doughty was THE MAN last night. This kid continues to amaze.

What a lame schedule - three games in 15 days versus the Sharks and then the season series is DONE by mid-January. I love all the divisional games at the end of the season. It puts your fate in your own hands.

This is an AHL video from last week. Adirondack Phantoms & Albany River Rats. Watch the Albany player Blanchard come into the scrum and what happens to the Adirondack player. Blanchards defense is that he did not hit him, he just tried to pull him off the scrum and he must have been unconscious before he even got to him. :r I would love to see someone unconscious and still standing vertical on skates. The player was unconscious for 10 mins on the ice and will be out for 2-3 weeks. Blanchard got 3 games for the hit. I understand this is part of the game, but his excuse is so stupid.

it is good news on berg's injury to hear he may be back sooner that the 2-6 weeks they originally said. This is also good news for his team Olympic status.

On savard's injury they just said knee he is to have an MRI today.

He ate three good shots to the face besides the beating his nugget took. He also reinjured a shoulder. His helmet on would not have stoped any of the injuries he sustained. Taking the helmet off made it look even worse because of how bad/great the fight was, but he shouldnt not have answered the bell.

The Avery fight brings up an interesting issue. I would actually like to see visors mandated. They increase safety. That said there is definetly an issue with guys fighting while wearing a visor. If Everyone were to wear a visor, the code would and should dictate you take it off for the fight. The issue here is that many want a rule regarding a fight being stopped if a players helmet comes off due to danger of death from striking their head. I never really thought about this. I guess this is one of the reasons the league cant really impliment a visor rule. In many cases it could increase danger to the players if they fight.

Perfect example from the wings hawks game yesterday. Both players wear visors so they both took helmets off before the fight.

Great two games by the Sharks yesterday and today. They now have sole possesion of first with the Hawks road loss tonight.

First they absolutely destroy a struggling Flames team 9-1. This was a very very chippy game though. Flames wanted to try to play rough but the Sharks took it and gave it back. Took my son to this game after his hockey practice. He scored a goal in his scrimmage. WOOOOT! He was jacked up for this game and made it the whole game. Pretty good for a 4 yr old.

Phanuef was Phanuef poking and pushing guys and looking for a big hit, but when asked to dance he skated away twice. Was glad to see him as a -4 on the night. I just dont respect guys that try to lay people out and then runaway when its time to answer the bell. Here Staubitz hits him and asks him to dance. He lets Prust fight his battle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh2aAvWE_3E.
Later in the game he was poking and hooking Shelley behind the play running his mouth. Shelley asked him to go. Phaneuf skated to the bench. I just have no respect for Phanuef. Borque plays a chippy game but at least he answers the bell for his actions.

Sharks followed that up by beating division rival LA 5-1. The kings did take the season series, but it was nice to see the Sharks take the last 2 games of the series.

Bersmoochi does not score in the redwings loss. Not looking good for the bet unless he has a few big games.

They should. The flames honestly looked horrible. There game plan was to play a chippy game and try to hang around. It didnt work. The Sharks definetly had the hits advantage. Just watch their game on thursday. Phanuefs style of play seems to be affecting the team. I saw so many players just looking for hits and not playing the puck. As a result the Sharks just out skated them and made it look like men vs boys.

OOO and as to the game in hand. remember you guys are on the road and your road record is 13-7-3. Where as the Sharks road is 17-6-2. I pointed out before that I think after all the road games even out the Sharks will have the edge. We will see, but they better start playing better on the road or the game in hand will mean little in a weeks time. :)

Yeah fock bersmoochi, I just want him to get 25.

I guess it would be OK if the Sharks beat out the Hawks for the President's Trophy, the Hawks would still have home ice throughout the playoffs if the Sharks lose in the 1st or 2nd round once again. ;)

J/K Mike...the Sharks actually look great. Marleau is my comeback player of the year, Pavelski, Boyle, Thorton, Clowe, Blake and Nabby all playing well, and Setoguchi is finally getting hot. Hope for your sake it lasts...at least until the Western Finals. ;)

That I can definately agree with. I remember an Icehawks UHL playoff game I was at that ended in the 3rd OT. The worst part was the ref allowed the other team to actually takeout the Icehawks goalie by diving into him and laying down on him so he could not make an attempt at the save.

Had a set of cloth shoulder pads for about 15 years without a hint of plastic or anything else on them. After all those years, they finally fell apart, and I haven't found anything that will fit me that doesn't seem like a football linebacker's pads. :(

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - There are so many of the Vancouver Canucks for Blackhawks fans to dislike - Willie Mitchell, Kevin Bieksa, Rick Rypien, the hair pulling Alex Burrows, even goalie Roberto Luongo.

But Ryan Kesler might now be at the top of their list.

Kesler called out Blackhawks winger Andrew Ladd after Saturday's 5-1 win by the Canucks at GM Place during which Ladd got the best of Kesler in a first period fight.

Kesler was looking for revenge for what he said was a hit from behind from Ladd in last spring's playoffs and wound up taking a punch to the face that opened a cut under his eye. Instead of trading punches with Ladd, Kesler's only response was to wrestle Ladd to the ice.

"He's a coward, he'll always be a coward," Kesler told reporters after the game. "At least he was man enough to hit me when I was looking this time."

Kesler is a joke...almost as big a joke as the hair-pulling Alex Burrows. :2

Thats right Tom Bersmoochi has scored again. He is red hot can you feel it. Three goals in his last 5 games giving him 15 on the season:r

I fear Berschmuckzky just might get to 25, Mike. :(

It isnt NHL news but Micah scored his first goal in game today. It was not pretty, but he crashed the net like Dad said and when the puck squirted out he was there. 4 years 3 months old and the youngest kid in the league by about a year.

Great to hear you will hit the ice again Christos! :tu :D

The reason only 4 teams have "losing" records is the shootout era. Instead of the old days when teams played 65 minutes and each got a point if they were tied, now the shootout guarantees a 3 point total, 2 for the winner and 1 for the "loser". I, for one, am not a fan and wish they would go back to the old way...but it sells tickets to the casual fan, so Bettman ain't gonna ditch it. :2

I don't think they need to go back to the old way. Just change the point structure so that playing for the loser point isn't as appealing.

You know I have thought about it a few times and short of 3 for the pure win in regular and only 2 for the OT or shoot out win and 1 loser point I am not sure.

Also there is the concern that it would put too much distance for teams that win in regular. But isn't that the point...........seems if the game is tied at the 10 minute mark lots of teams go to a 4-1 and just hold on for the OT.

I hate teams going into conservative mode to get to OT and preserve the point. One of the reasons I don't care for the 3 point system.

I have heard many analysts on NHL on XM discuss the 3-2-1 system for points. I must say, I like that idea better than the current system. And regarding the concern about sitance for teams that win in regulation...well, that's the point...maybe they should be rewarded for doing that. :)

I like the 3-2-1 points.. A little adjustment though, why not in the SO only reward the winning team? So do 3pts to regulation win, 2 pts OT/SO win and only 1 point if they lose in OT not the SO..

Salary Cap!
The way they were structured they didnt get hit really till this year. I laugh now because I think it was Boomer last year on NHL Home Ice kept saying they were going to suffer this year.

What the fock. Watching the Caps ducks replay right now did anyone see Green go MMA on Ryan? They were kind of in a tussel as they went to the Ice Ryan ends up on top and green goes into a guard position wrapping legs around Ryans waist and holding onto an arm like he was going to go for a triangle choke. I just spit a little milk out watching it. :r

I don't think the salary cap has anything to do with it.. When you can't field a fully healthy team and we can't get 1 of our goalies to play consistently it's kinda hard to win. You can throw all the money you want at players but if they aren't healthy it doesn't make a difference. We still have Holmstrom and Franzen out. With players in and out of the lineup there isn't much chemistry there.

I know injuries killed the Wings earlier in the season, but I think it is more a matter of inconsistent goaltending, and lack of production beyond Henrik, Pavel and Tomas at this point. I hope they pick it up after the break, wouldn't be the same without them in the playoffs.

I agree injuries hurt the wings. The reason it took such a toll this year is that you are not neaRly as deep a team this year as in past years. The wings can't absorb the injuries and keep rolling anymore like in past Years. Sorry but there is no way the wings are as deep as past years. Combine that with injuries and no one to fill the void equals average season.

As to stick u may want to look at 2 piece. Being u are getting back in a 2 piece will allow u to try different curves as u explore how like to shoot. Look at eastons or the warrior AK47.

01-28-2010, 01:20 PM

I'm holding off on a prediction on how far until they get in the playoffs. I'd like to see how they play after the Olympics first.

Thanks for the recommendation on the stick, Tom. I'll have to check them out. Is there such thing as a cheaper composite stick? Or are they worth the investment?

I found both my composites on sale for less than $100 each. They have lasted several months and and rockin'. The PMPs might last me 25 games before the blade would be too worn to use. so for me the composites have been worth it...both in performance and durability.

Mike's suggestion is a good one too....took me a few years of trying different patterns (heel curve, toe curve, etc) before settling on the "Coffey" pattern.

I could not have been happier with the Sharks tonight even though the lost in OT. This game to me was much more important than when the Sharks beat the Hawks at the United Center. They retained sole control of first by virtue of the hated OT point, but more importantly the following occurred.

As opposed to the last meeting at the Tank when the Hawks took the lead and never looked back the Sharks scored 3 unanswered goals after spotting the Hawks 3 goals early in the 1st period forcing the game to overtime. At the end of the third and into OT the Sharks killed of a Penalty part of which on the 4 on 3 one Shark had no stick. The Sharks were able to do this without their number one D man Boyle who is injured and losing there number 2 D man Vlassic in the first period. The Sharks played majority of the game with only 5 Dman which were not there shutdown D men and clawed back into the game.

In the end the Hawks showed why they are a powerhouse team though. The Hawks are very deep and very fast. In the end with a short bench they were to much for the Sharks to handle. I was very impressed with the play of the Hawks and both teams got amazing and sub standard goal tending during the game. Huey made some great saves on key plays as did Nabby, but both also had a few WTF? moments.

Hats off to the Hawks tonight. Both teams played hard and it was refreshing to see a game that didnt resort to fights after every good hit :r No cheap crap,just good hard hockey.

Both teams played great. The Thorntton/Heatly/Marleau line is scary good even though they did not score, and Pavelski is a stud. Clowe didn't show up though, and the Sharks missed Boyle on the blue line.

Couldnt agree more. One of the two will play for the cup and no way I see either getting upset before the final. This will be a monster series though if it happens and the emerging team will likely be exhausted which may make them a mark for the cup. The Hawks bring speed and skill the Sharks bring size and skill.

I just wonder how different the teams will look next year. The Hawks are going to lose a player or two because of the cap next year and I think the Sharks may lose Patty. He is having a monster year and you have to wonder if losing the C will make him seek another team.

Clowe seemed way to intrested in the Buff tonight. Seemed like he wanted to fight him in the third and Buff was clearly affecting his game.

01-29-2010, 12:26 AM

I think taking the "C' from him was the best thing that could have happened for Marleau...leading the NHL in goals. Good for him, I have always liked him.

Hawks will lose a couple guys, but have Kane, Toews, Keith, Hossa, Versteeg, Byfuglein and Seabrook tied up, and likely will make a good offer to Niemi, so I see good things for the future for them with that core.

I dunno, Manson gave ole Basil a beatdown on more than one occassion. ;)

I had season tickets for years during that era.....worst I ever saw in person was the pre-game brawl, where Shane Churla almost killed Wayne VanDorp.

Don't forget your favorite... Dino "Pants" Oreilly. Did you ever about that story when Dino went outside to get his newspaper at the end of his driveway with no pants on? It was all over the news in Minnesota

Icehog - When are your Blackhawks coming back to MN for a good brawl?

The Norris Division is gone, and the Wild ain't the North Stars. ;)

Ward was awesome...Congrats to Joe, hope the snow didn't force you to miss the game. I was afraid the Hawks would be in for a letdown after the 8 game trip, but it was more Ward's acrobatics than a letdown by the Hawks.

Thanks, Tom! Just got in from the game... only about 7,000 in attendance - and a bunch of Blackhawk fans - and it was a fantastic contest. :D

I have to agree about the Hawks... I expected a letdown, but I really didn't see it. Cam Ward really was incredible. We are fortunate to have this guy! So glad we locked him up.

Hossa played pretty solid and Kane was just plain scary. Glad to get the two points tonight. Grateful to see the Blackhawks up close. (Got to sit in the lower level tonight. :tu )

Need a lozenge... throat is sore from yelling "Way to go, Cam!" :ss

As bummed as I was to see my boys lose, I was truly happy for you. Hossa, Kane and Toews are scary good most nights, but Ward was on fire tonight.

Could you tell how crappy the ice was, Joe? They had a basketball game (NC State) 5 hours before the hockey game, it was still covering the ice surface 2 hours before game time. Puck looked like a superball.

I watched for you in the crowd, but didn't see you.

Ice did seem to be a little off... saw several times when skates lost edges. That must be why the 'Canes won. ;)

I was in section 109, Row Z, Seat 17. Here was my view...

Looks like a great view Joe!

Like Patrick Sharp commented about the ice condition after the first period, "both teams have to play on the same ice, so it's no excuse".

I suffered many years of this with the Sharks. I know your pain. My new pain is the playoffs. Last year I sold my first round because I knew they would get beat.

Great two videos of Alan. Glad to see he is back out there you can tell he has the hunger. Are those Vapors he is wearing? I thought you were Graf guys. :D

Joe that save on kane in the 3rd on the PP when he was standing infront of the goal was epic. The lateral movement and then just waiting him out and then flashing the leather. My jaw just dropped.

Watching this sharks game on my phone at work. I think the Sharks may drop this one Minn is hanging around and has had the lead twice.

Yeah I am a gear whore. Its a problem my wife has told me :)

Sharks Storm back and take one from the wild. After a slow start which saw the number 1 pk in the league give up 2 goals on 2 PPs. They circle the wagons and win 5-2.

An Epic Game if you love fights. Look at the bench at the end of the game :r:r

Bruins Fan

I been biting my tongue all season because the Bruins have been ravaged by injury's.

Enough is enough, two major deals that are hurting the B'S Claude Julien should be fired, he has lost the locker room?

The problem is he singed a contract extension last season and is not even into it yet, so unfortunately his job is safe.The Bruins are still paying the last coach Dave Lewis, the cheap ass Bruins will not pay three coaches.

Next is Tim Thomas they gave him an extension and big money and are stuck with him, he gives up soft goal after soft goal he has to go?

I guess Peter Chiarelli should be looked at to?

The Bruins worked hard to get the fan base back,and could be in danger of losing a lot of fans if the ship is not righted.

We will support a losing team but will not support a team that does not put in an effort, skate hard how a bout a fore check oncne in a while, and drop the darn cloves.

Rant off :D

Son of a BiXh Big trade between the Leafs and Flames.
LoL last week Phanuef said he knew nothing about asking to be traded.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=515662

As a closet Leafs fan and a non Phaneuf fan I am not happy. I know this is Burke's kind of guy, well kind of atleast. He hits but he doesnt answer the bell for the fight. This trade has me scratching my head, I dont think it will bring much.

Looking at the Stats of the Players going back and forth I think Shawn should be happy as I think the Flames will get some immediate firepower. That said the Aulie kid may also be a big factor. Apparently he is big and impressive and may have a great future ahead.

Ugh

Not sure I like this one.

Seems we gave away a lot for some maybes............I think this trade was born of desperation.

The other thing is I am pretty sure that Dion wanted out of Calgary.

Watch him over the years...........I think this is a mistake.

If any of these guys can help it click then maybe the flames make a deep run. Fortunately the flames are deep in defence and that won't hurt the team defensively. His big shot will be missed, and he does provide a highlight reel hit now and again.

Seems I have some crow to eat, I said that Phaneuf will never go.

If this backfires I think Sutter is looking at a limited life span.

Burke is definetly shaking things up. I guess hitting bottom has occurred and he is making changes.

Why couldnt they trade him to florida or Siberia:r
