monkeypower Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 20 straight regular season wins over the Flames. The Disneyland Curse lives on, but at least the Flames didn't get mumps or measles.

DaRadniz29 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 RIght. They have to call them something else. (And no, not the Jr. Sharks)I propose San Jose Seals.This would be probably be the top choice, though if they wanted a mascot, would the San Francisco Giants let the SJ AHL team rent Lou Seal? IF they want to go a little outside the box, but stay in the box, they should go with San Jose Shivers, along with being "ice-theme-ready".Other than Shivers or Seals:- Gladiators- Stampede- Surge (As is powerful upward movement such as waves of tide, not the soft drink )Edit: Thought of another nickname: Barracudas.

Tigers6884 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 How does an goalie even get into the All Star game with a 2.80 GAA and a .915 S% anyway? Even Ondrej Pavelec has looked more like an all star this year, and goalies playing really well this season like Holtby and Lundqvist got snubbed behind him as well.

As an Isles fan, I think it's because he's finally brought stability to a position we've had issues at over the past few years. (He has a 2.40 GAA, by the way, not 2.80.)Also, Winnipeg is starting to look like they could make some noise in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 GAA is such a useless stat in modern times, anyway. Take last year for instance - Brian Elliott had a GAA of 1.96, and Jonathan Bernier was a 2.69. If anyone thinks Elliott was, or is, the better goaltender of the two, then they are nuts.It's had to be several years now since I last looked at GAA in any kind of meaningful way.

Goalies like Holtby, Anderson, and Miller have all done more IMO to help their team, and are putting up at least near all star numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Barracudas or Bay Area Barracudas. As I noted in the "minor league shakeup" thread, the AHL club will probably not only be stuck with some variant of Sharks, but have to adopt the NHL team's post-Edge logo as well, simply due to logistical considerations: Otherwise, they'd have to melt/drain the rink, repaint the center-ice logo, then flood/freeze the rink again on every changeover between the NHL and AHL teams. My prediction: The San Jose Tiburones (the Spanish word for "Sharks"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Why would they have to do all that ice stuff? They'd just play on the Sharks' ice without a second thought. The Calgary Hitmen play on the Flames' ice without fussing with it. Call them Sharks2, or Sharks B, or "the Sharks are spoiled tenderfoot babies who can't deal with having their prospects play in a league with low travel and think they're entitled to screw with everyone else's expenses and convenience." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So they get to make one trade in this draft and Foligno and Toews took that as an opportunity to make a joke. I mean this sincerely, well done guys. The All-Star game is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Also, the World Cup of Hockey is returning in 2016 to Toronto, with USA, CAN, FIN, SWE, RUS, CZE, EuroScraps, and U-23 North Americans. Bettman says the latter two teams are expected to be for this go-round only, with plans for a 2019 play-in tournament to fill the lower slots in 2020. This seems like it has a real plan this time, more than just "Let's throw some teams together to get more money". And if this means Olympic hockey goes the way of Olympic soccer, all the better.

Sodboy13 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well, they fill stadiums. And this time, you can thank whiny-ass Wild owner Craig Leipold, who, according to a piece in the Star-Tribune:1) refused to let the Wild play an outdoor game on the road2) refused to host a Stadium Series game because he wanted the Winter Classic3) relented, but threw another fit when the NHL wanted Dallas as the opponent4) specifically demanded the Blackhawks as the visiting team.
