San Jose @ Ottawa: Post Game

the sharks scored first on the road?
It seems like a very long time.

I can hardly remember those days. or the days where the would score more than 2 goals.

huzzah

I just realized I was about 2-3 mins behind on my DVR.

“I don’t think anyone is raised as a backup goaltender.”

Have I told you how much I love Boucher?

Boston gave Anaheim quite the beating.
6-0 shutout
Marty Brodeur gets a shutout on his first game back, a 4-0 win against the Avs

when Randy started talking early in the game about how Bouch had never beat the Sens. Bastard! I screamed!

to the Blues!

Lee had finished serving a hooking minor moments earlier when he was sent off again for holding Mike Grier at 9:39. The rookie defenseman put his team in an even deeper hole when an unsportsmanlike conduct minor was tacked on.

"I feel responsible for the loss," said Lee, who acknowledged that he had argued the holding call.

"It was a tough one, to get a double like that, but emotions are flying and it’s part of the game," Fisher said. "We’ve just got to make sure we learn from it."

WE? I believe the appropriate word is “I,” bucko.

Oh, right, hockey – team sport. Hmm.

that sharks are just playing poop hockey right now, eh?

i mean, granted i watched all of 5 minutes and highlights from the website (which, as a sidenote SUCK always, like can we get some better highlights? like can i see a few angles on the goals? lord knows i cant see the puck or anything else when the screen is that small) but i have seen the last 20 games. and i am at a loss.

this was a team that i really thought was unstoppable. at times, over the past 20 games, they have looked unstoppable. mostly, they have looked lucky or pathetic though. yeah, they are playing teams in a desperate fight for the last playoff spot and themselves playing for… lots of points? pride? to win? maybe thats it. hey guys, lets not lose, cuz we should be winning. we are the best, after all. ok, thats a little too oprah.

hers to hoping

a) the trade deadline spells turning point in the season. (not because they need to add/drop. siomply as a point of reference that may be causing some guys to grip the stick a little hard.

b) february ends. if i trust my calender, which i dont, should happen sometime in the next couple of days…

c) i dont know. they take the skate guards off their skates BEFORE hitting the ice.

Go sharks, this team looks better than any has before. thats why i am worried.

After asked whether he minds that Marleau got credit for the goal last night:

“It’s perfect,” he said. “Patty’s having that kind of a year, a career year, and the more he can get, the more accolades the better. I already have 500. I’d like Patty to get 40 this season.”

The NHL needs more guys like JR.
