Rolling, rolling, rolling on the playoff river.

As we mentioned in December, the Red Wings have been racked with injuries this season, playing a large part in why they've toiled on the playoff bubble for the better part of the year. Unfortunately, for fourteen other teams in the Western Conference at least, things look to be headed in the right direction for Detroit.

Tomas Holmstrom reports back for duty tonight, immediately improving a powerplay that has seen an unprecedented lack of production compared to recent seasons. Detroit ranked third in 2008 and first in 2009, falling to nineteenth in 2010 where they've cashed in at a mediocre 17.6% clip. Holmstrom's presence can only help in this department; coupled with the news that Marc-Edouard Vlasic is still not practicing (Dan Boyle questionable), a Sharks defensive unit that managed to hold the Minnesota Wild to two goals on Saturday will have a much more difficult time dealing with bodies in the crease.

If there's a way to beat Nabokov right now it's by restricting his sight line to the puck. No one better in the league at that than Holmstrom. And if there's a way to expose the San Jose blueline right now, especially without their two best defenseman, it's to force them to become consumed with keeping Holmstrom out of that sight line. He has a knack for forcing blown assignments and accidental screens. That's something a big body like Douglas Murray can take care of. We'll see if the likes of Jason Demers and Kent Huskins can do so as well.

Although Detroit has gone 3-3-4 in their last ten, you have to assume it's only a matter of time before the players that have been out for so long start to re-acclimate with their teammates. Franzen still sits on the bench with a torn ACL, but is scheduled to return sometime in the next seven days. That's another important piece that sends the message that the Wings shouldn't be counted out quite yet, and I still think they'll find themselves in a mid-level playoff spot when the dust finally settles.

Better than a bottom-two seed, to be certain.

Preduction: Sharks win 3-2. Goals by Clowe, Marleau, and Pavelski. I rushed this post faster than your first time with a woman.

 

Go Sharks.

Aw...the good ol' wings!

How refreshing to have the Wings back for a big game at the Tank! Maybe I’m a masochist, but with all of these big hyped battles with Chicago this year for “The Best in the West”, it’s really refreshing to be playing the Wings again. This recent “rivalry” with the Hawks just hasn’t felt right. With so many great memories and horrendous nightmares tied to that red wheel, I can’t wait for another one tonight. Welcome back Wings! Now back to hoping Murray crushes Holmstrom through the boards tonight… cheers!

Bubble Buddies

What’s bothered me about the Wings all season is the way they’ve managed to hover around the playoff “bubble” all season. Just enough to maybe um… face the Sharks in the first round? Maybe Chicago can draw them and they can wear each other out. Having said that, it’s always fun to see the Sharks and Wings play.

Go Sharks!

That would be awesome

if Chicago and Detroit ended up facing each other in the first round and we pull someone like Nashville.

Then maybe LA or Vancouver could play the winner of the Chicago/Detroit round and we could play either Phoenix or Colorado.

That way Chicago, Detroit, Vancouver, and LA can all wear each other out. Those 4 will definitely be the toughest opponents in the west come the playoffs.

I hope the Sharks pull Detroit… so they can beat that monkey off their back! How much would it do for this team to beat an old foe and get to the second round? Could create huge momentum. Frankly Vancouver looks the scariest and Chicago is loaded but I think the Sharks can wear them down in a series.

Why is Vancouver look the scariest? Bobby Lou is the biggest playoff chocker currently playing. They also have Ehrhoff who falls apart under pressure.

Really, Ehrhoff falls apart under pressure? That’s why he was the only dman other than Boyle that wasn’t useless against Anaheim? Of all his flaws, I really don’t think that was one of them.

by tarlinian on Feb 2, 2010 1:15 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Don’t want to open the can of worms here, but I do remember that Error spent more time on the ice than anyone else against Anaheim, had 0 points, was -2 with 20 penalty minutes, which was 2nd highest total behind Blake.

Is that a solid playoffs outing?

by Ivano27 on Feb 2, 2010 1:24 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

And Blake had as many points as Boyle

Blake had 1 goal 3 assists to Boyles 2 goals and 2 assists

But Boyle showed heart AND grit. Blake showed neither. Boyle was the only one who wanted to win, everyone else wanted to play golf!

I’m looking at the stats right now and it says Ehrhoff has 2 and Blake has 4.

Highest being 12 (JR) and 2nd highest being 9 (Murray and Pavelski).

That’s exactly what I been thinking tonight. After the Olympic break Detroit will largely be healthy and motivated to regain their confidence for the sprint. Hopefully that will propel them to seed no. 5-6. Let’s cross our fingers for this one.

But tonight is the time to send the message. I am still pissed at how well they controlled the puck in our last loss to them (I kept hallucinating that they had CCCP on the chests). Time for payback.

Isn’t it about time for another Heatley or Marleau hat trick?

by Ivano27 on Feb 2, 2010 9:40 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Prediction

Hat tricks by both Heatley and Marleau (Jumbo with all 6 primary assists) and Nabby finally gets a shutout. Sharks win 6-0.

Here’s to wishful thinking…

Interesting stat

Just browsing around for Sharks stories, I found an interesting stat. According to ESPN, not the best source I’m sure, Patrick Marleau has the least time on the power play of the top 10 scorers in the league. And yet he is 1 off the league lead in power play goals.

by fatbabies on Feb 2, 2010 10:02 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

I wonder why that is, since he is on the top unit.

Ovechkin stays out there for 2 minutes (stayed for 5 minutes straight against the Sharks when they were on PP during that time – that’s nuts), and does Kovalchuk and perhaps few others. Is McL switching PP units too much? I’ve never seen anybody not named Boyle stay there for longer than one shift.

by Ivano27 on Feb 2, 2010 10:13 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I think the Sharks’ PP is ranked third in the NHL, so right now I don’t really have much of a problem with it. Plus, guys like Kovalchuk and Ovechkin aren’t used much on the PK, while Marleau is probably the best penalty killer on the Sharks and has minutes on the PK to reflect that.

Ah yes, good point about Patty playing extensive PK time. But still – I think Heatley could double shift. Seto is still very inconsistent there on that 2nd unit, as is Clowe.

However, Ovechkin does see more PK time this season than he’s seen before. His defense is getting better as he’s getting older.

by Ivano27 on Feb 2, 2010 10:29 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Also, I think by Mirtle’s metrics, Marleau is ranked the fourth-best defensive forward in the NHL. And since that factors in quality of competition, that means that he’s probably playing some of the hardest minutes out there.

And while I agree that Heatley could double shift, he’s also getting a role on the PK, albeit a smaller one that gives him offensive opportunities. Personally, I like how McLellan is managing the minutes right now.

by Ivano27 on Feb 2, 2010 10:56 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

4th line depth, and a salary they can’t get rid of, so they have to keep more productive players like McGinn and McLaren down in Worcester. That’s what they provide.

Also, Shelley is a beast. Just sayin…

Shelley is like comic relief…someone gets hit and out comes “the sneer”. Always makes me chuckle. I like him but never have understood a roster spot for such a small niche…heard on the radio preview today that a team left their fighter at home because the other team didn’t have anyone he could fight…sorta seems pointless, if not entertaining!

Which confuses me as to why Crosby would be ranked first by NHL.com, when Marleau has the same number of goals in fewer possible games. I know I rant about this a lot, but it does bug me.

I wouldn’t rule Ovy out— he’s played something like eight less games, and is only two behind Patty.

Agreed.

Cindy won’t be able to keep up this pace, Gaborik is too streaky, and Marleau doesn’t always need to score with the level of offensive talent on our team. Meanwhile, OV always gets his. He’ll probably win the Rocket Richard again…

If it means anything, I picked a cool Chicken Little pic, where he was throwing up the peace signs. I also made it medium sized.

As for the Ottawa Sun – they were right about the Heatley trade, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off on when it would happen. Those 48 hours lasted over a month.

I totally understand you

But I’m unsure that a career player for the Canes will want to abandon ship, even if it’s been an awful year for them. He’s got a Cup, too – would he be willing to chase the grail again? The no-trade clause will be the biggest issue.

I saw this a few days ago, but being as the source was the Ottawa Sun, I didn’t take it too seriously (hell, I didn’t even post it over here).

I did do a little research on Wallin, and from what I could tell, he’s like a poor man’s Murray. A stay at home defenseman with some size from Sweden. He’s been given the nickname The Secret Weapon in Carolina because he holds the franchise record with 3 playoff OT goals…not bad for a guy who has like 5 career goals in the regular season.

He has refused to waive his NTC to leave Carolina in the past, so I’d be surprised if he’s willing to now being as SJ is hella far away from Carolina. But his cap hit is pretty good (1.725 million, or something along those lines), so if this was the route the Sharks wanted to go, its definately manageable.

Couple of edits in that history are amusing. Same on that put that Weight up also noted his nickname as ‘Truck’, and informed us in the details of his NHL career that he was “drafted in the 70th round, 207th overall in the 1893 NHL Entry Draft by the Pilsberry Pizza Pops”.

I know it’s not quite right, but I’m broke as a joke, and I think (hope) it’s the thought that counts; I’m doing everything in my power to continue this tradition — it’s worked well so far, with a positive correlation even in a game the Sharks lost.

“Douglas Murray, who is from Sweden, even though it doesn’t sound that way…” Honestly, if I had a quarter for every time I’ve heard that this year, I’d be a couple hundred dollars richer.

Damn Wings feed...

I think I’m going to have to move to the Bay Area just to make sure I get Randy and Drew instead of this shit. Do fans in other markets realise just how bad they have it?

I know that some Ducks fans (Earl Sleek) hate Hayward, and Blue Jackets fans generally dislike their announcers. Not so sure about other fanbases. But I do know that Sabres fans were pretty impressed with Randy and Drew when they had them a week ago.
