Ersberg is a Bit Rusty; Kings 5, Sharks 4 (OT)
The Los Angeles Kings were in San Jose last night to face the Sharks. The game was wide open with both goalies playing in a subpar fashion; Evgeni Nabokov was unimpressive and Erik Ersberg was quite rusty. The game ended 5-4 in OT with a sweet spin move by captain Dustin Brown who desperately...
More for More of Less
This is stupid. So stupid, in fact, I compare it to the old joke about a little boy who goes to school with a five dollar bill. He brags to his friend he has one five dollar bill and is offered three one dollar bills in trade. "Three is more than one!" the friend tells the first boy. And the...
Is he wrong?
"Steven is not ready for the NHL," Melrose stated on the Fan 590. "Steven is going to be a good player...right now he's just not strong enough physically to play against defencemen who are 6'3" or 6'4" that can skate as good as him." -- Barry Melrose You are an 18 year old hot prospect that is...
The running joke continues
The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired head coach Barry Melrose; Associate Coach Rick Tocchet has been elevated to interim head coach. Is there anyone, anyone at all, at OK Hockey interested in stability? Cohesion? I can understand a sense of urgency, but when urgency and immediate dividends are all...
Breaking: Boyle Reupped
See a negative? Follow it with a positive... I can't confirm this but Dan Boyle inked a six year deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Forty Million Dollars over six years almost guarantees Brad Richards will be heading out of town tomorrow. Which really upsets me. Boltsmag is four years old at...
In review
I wrote off bringing in Jassen Cullimore in pre-season. Maybe that was a mistake. Or maybe circumstances would make it look like it was? Jassen's not putting up big numbers for the Panthers -- that's no shock -- but he's stable. Though he's only played in 21 games this season, he's averaging...
Boyling Point
Dan Boyle has returned to practice with the Lightning. Praise the hockey gods for giving us a lax schedule to start the season so Dan doesn't miss too many games. Of course, the flip side of the lax schedule is, as Martin St. Louis put it, a detractor to the team getting intoa groove. Of...
Leaving Town
From TSN.ca this morning (hat-tip to Mirtle):The Vancouver Canucks are one of three teams in the running for veteran defenseman, Dan Boyle.Sources tell TSN the Canucks, San Jose Sharks and Philadelphia Flyers are the three teams Boyle is considering, however he has yet to waive his no-trade clause...
Three Defencemen and Two Stooges
Let’s compare three NHL defensemen who play a similar style, all of whom will be playing for new teams this off-season:Player A (32 years old, 5’11", 190lbs)2007-08: 3rd in QualComp, 0.67 PTS/60 EV, 4.48 PTS/60 PP, -2.00 2006-07: 5th in QualComp, 0.92 PTS/60 EV, 4.21 PTS/60 PP, -0.04Player B (32...
Dan Boyle on the radar
No Brian Campbell? No Wade Redden? No problem--maybe. Doug Wilson did say to look toward the trade market, and here's news that the Tampa Bay Lightning have gone 180 degrees from yesterday and now asked Dan Boyle to waive his no-trade clause.Who's the front-runner according to TSN?However, Boyle...
