Around the League

Dallas loses at home to Columbus in regulation. 2-1.

[ScoreZeGoals]

The Oilers PP is deadly, but they are a one trick pony. They had four more PP goals tonight, but only have two even strength goals in their five games (they have ZERO in their last three games). Stay out of the box or shut down that PP, and they are pretty much screwed.

[Reclamation Project]

Brian Engblom makes every game unwatchable

[Rafa Nadal]

Damn it, another dilemma game...Ducks @ Sharks. But I'd rather the more dangerous team loses, which is SJ. No 3 points please.

[Tonellisghost]

Hickey looks good tonight.

[ScoreZeGoals]

I wonder if wearing the "C" is having an effect on Giroux, because he looks totally off.

If anyone wants to laugh for the next 15 minutes:

Every time I picked my favourite another one topped it. Colaiacavo pretty much did me in!

This is way worse than I thought. Take a look at all the captains that either had a career ending injury, were stripped of their captaincy or were traded. Giroux should have declined!

I started crying at the Tim Thomas one. Colaiacavo only made it worse.

Pavelski goal. 1-0 SJ

Pavelski playing wing this year? That goal was assisted by Thornton and Marleau.

Yep, he's playing RW on the top line. Here's their lineup for tonight (without Boyle):

Marleau-Thornton-Pavelski
Clowe-Couture-Havlat
Desjardins-Gomez-Burish
Galiardi-Handzus-Wingels

Vlasic-Stuart
Murray-Petrecki
Irwin-Braun

Niemi
Greiss

The Sharks have to be the hottest team in the NHL. Let's see how long they can ride their hot start.

Thomas made me laugh out loud. Hopefully there will be more by tomorrow.

[KingsKnight]

Haha Sharks playing a solid game, then the ducks just throw it off Murray's leg in front of the net to tie it.

EDIT: Another quick goal by the ducks wow

It's pure insanity. The only one who retired under his own terms as captain was Bobby Clarke. The same name that every captain in Flyers history tries to live up to in the eyes of the fans and media, and consistently fails.

I swear, it's like the Flyers are stuck in a time loop where they are always trying to get back to Broad Street Bully days and find Clarke reincarnate. I mean, that list is just weird.

[Ron]

Wow.

Hiller just ****ing sucks.

[Rafa Nadal]

@johnjm22

About Randy Hahn - I used to like him before the 2011 series against the Guppies. The guy's homerism was really off the charts. I mean he really let it out. I would understand if their broadcasts were only local, but their feed was also the national feed via NBCSN (Versus at that time). They knew they should've toned down their bias, but they were still being jerks. Listen to the massive difference between his calls for Kings goals and Sharks goals. Kings score, you could tell he was pissed off. Sharks score, confetti all over their booth.




Crap, ratface Couture just tied it up.

[Cruel11]

A 3 point game in the Pacific? You don't say...

[Shellz]

I feel like I'm watching this game in slow motion..

[Rafa Nadal]

Niemi robbed Perry of a winner.

[Rafa Nadal]

****. Oh well, Ucks don't get 2 points.

EDIT: "3 Stars of the Night presented by PlayStation." San Jose really is a land of nerds.
