Sharks Must Forget Canucks Series

As the Canucks and Sharks series unfolded and devolved in front of a national audience, another series from recent memory came to mind.  Last season’s Pittsburgh/Philadelphia series seemed eerily similar to the sweep that took many by surprise.  Most hockey analysts called the Canucks deeper and more talented than the San Jose Sharks.  But the ...

Forget Vezina, Evgeni Nabokov Is Most Valuable Goalie

On the same day that Sergei Bobrovsky, Henrik Lundqvist, and Antti Niemi were announced as finalists for the 2012-13 Vezina Trophy, I’m presenting a new kind of goalie award, the Most Valuable Goaltender of the Year, to Evgeni Nabokov of the New York Islanders. This honor is based on a single statistically-driven question: Which starting ...

Canuck Playoff Thoughts: April 30, 2013

The Vancouver Canucks set two new club records on their 7-2 drubbing by the lowly Edmonton Oilers who are already thinking about golf season. 1. To keep his ironman streak intact, Henrik Sedin played only 22 seconds and left the game. 2. After being kept in net for the entire slaughter, Roberto Luongo hit the ...

5 Reasons the Sharks Can Win the West

On Tuesday night, Antti Niemi stared down the black and silver jersey of Los Angeles Kings forward Dwight King.  The fittingly named winger ripped a shot from the slot but was robbed with a quick flash of leather by the Sharks goaltender.  Niemi’s save kept San Jose in the tied game and eventually allowed the ...

Evgeni Nabokov Is the New York Islanders’ MVP

For the majority of the 2012-2013 NHL season, New York Islanders fans watched a hockey team that displayed flashes of dominance at times, but played wildly inconsistent during other stretches. However, over their last twelve games the Islanders have managed to play to the tune of a 9-1-2 record and have strengthened their playoff positioning ...

Resurgent San Jose Sharks Deadly at the Tank

A few weeks ago, the San Jose Sharks were floundering.  The Shark’s offense was largely absent from their games and Antti Niemi was doing all he could to keep the score close.  Talk of selling at the deadline and planning for next season began to creep in.  The Sharks clawed their way to a victory ...

NHL Trade Deadline 2013: The Goalie Edition

With the NHL trade deadline less than a week away, hockey fans must be wondering who will be a seller, buyer, or idle once April 3rd, 2013 rolls around. Matt D’Agostini and Brenden Morrow were some of the first players to be traded before the deadline, but there are undoubtedly a slew of moves that ...

San Jose Sharks: All About Teamwork

When you think of the San Jose Sharks this season the first thing that pops to mind may be their undefeated 7-0-0 record or the return to dominance of Joe Thornton or the amazing sniping of Patrick Marleau. While the production from San Jose’s Thornton and Marleau are a HUGE reason why the team is ...
