Off the Post - December 10th

[UPDATE] - Happy 40th birthday, Rob Blake! Love, Rudy Kelly (j/k).
[UPDATE] - St. Louis Game Time (the newspaper which spawned the blog) reproduced a segment of "Ice Chips" - questions answered by none other than T.J. Oshie's dad - on the SLGT blog. Highly recommended.
In case you weren't aware, TCY's boy-toy Logan Couture is a great prospect.
Manny Malhotra will be at the Sharks Store signing autographs on December 15th; if you're going, mention it in the comments, and be sure to contribute to Manny's tip jar.
The Ottawa Senators are failing to get production from their high-priced acquisitions... and Jonathan Cheechoo's name doesn't even come up once.
Rudy Kelly really, really, really hates Evgeni Nabokov... who may or may not be a lock for Team Russia.
Ed Jovanovski gets suspended for 2 games, causing him to miss this Saturday's contest against the Sharks; meanwhile, Silver Seven gets irate at those defending JovoCop.
J.R. chimes in on the recent suspensions.
The Nashville Predators slowly climb towards the 14,000-person attendance benchmark required for full NHL revenue sharing...
...which leads us to yet another article on why Canada deserves a 7th team.

Look, I hate Brenden Morrow as much as the next tealblood... but that's Corey Perry he just upended, so you have to smile just a little.

A car gets hit by Brendan Witt.
Enter Boucher....
Mark Messier gets named as the Canadian GM for the 2010 world championship, and decidedly ignores Gretzky's record behind the bench to recommend his old buddy for the coaching position.
Going into last night's game, the Sharks were 1-for-17 on the power play... medical experts are not ruling out MGS as a possibility.
If you ever doubted it, yes, yes indeed - NHL'ers read SBN blogs.
Behind the Net adds analysis to the Brodeur vs. Sawchuk debate.
Sean Gallagher has a sit-down with Andy Murray... kinda.
If you'll excuse me, my buddy OdinMercer and I are going to go celebrate Cinco de Coyo...
...in the meantime, who's the better rapper = Crosby, or Ovechkin?

I’d argue he’s doing an M. Bison impression.

I was over it in about 5 minutes. Maybe 10. I had Top Chef to watch.

Eh, it’s just something with how we lost that one. I’m not use to putting up 4 goals and losing with this team.

I know, I just didn’t feel like being pissed about it for the rest of the night. It sucked, we lost, and yeah. That was as much energy as I cared to waste on it.

They’ve done that twice against the Kings this year, oddly enough. Both times when they were trailing.

Yay for Boucher getting a chance to start for an extended period of time!

Has anyone heard what’s up with Doug Murray? He didn’t return after the “BJ on Heatley” moment, as far as I remember.

he did come back in the second, but iirc Drew noticed he was missing in the third.

According to WTC, he just tweeked something, and could be back for the Dallas game.

Pollack’s update also has Nabby’s reaction to the OT goal…nothing ground breaking, though…as you would expect.

Isn't it awesome?

Glad you liked it ;-)

By the way, it’s still freezing here in the Great White South.

Screwy goals from beyond the blue line and quick whisles

Make for a frustrating night.

Hey folks, the Sharks PK unit guest stars in a FanPost I wrote about the Caps PK unit (and why it’s not good). If any of you are interested in it I’d definitely like your feedback and insight on my observations and analysis about the Sharks PK. Some of you might even enjoy it.

You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
