Viper Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Sign that tonight may not be the Wild's night: Less than two minutes in, not only have the Sharks already scored, but a few seconds later starting goalie Josh Harding got nearly knocked out by the errant butt-end of a teammate's stick and had to leave the ice.With Nick Backstrom still out of the lineup with his injury, Matthew Hackett is now in goal for Minnesota, making his NHL debut, fittingly enough, against the franchise whose first starting goalie was his uncle Jeff Hackett.

Viper Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 And of course, shortly after I posted the above, the Wild got two late-period goals and take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission at the Shark Tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Apparently Florida isn't allowed to have two good hockey teams at once. The Bolts are kind of really crappy. For all the talk about Steve Yzerman being the best general manager in league history, he sure did put a lot of faith into a journeyman goaltender in his mid-forties, which, if I may be allowed to say so, is stupid. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Patrick, Adams, Norris, Smythe or we riot.No, we are done honoring owners who spent their careers crushing player rights and resisting expansion.That's not a bad reason to honor someone in today's NHL...It is when they objected to taking the league past 6 teams total.

NEW.ERA Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Flames scored an unheard of amount of goals tonight.... 7! Also snapped an ungodly 0 for 29 Powerplay streak at home, making their home PP a wonderful 3 for 48 overall.

Viper Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I can't believe the NHL is going to be OK with a scenario where you could have an all pacific time zone stanley cup, which I think is possible under this?Can't be done. Closest team would be Winnipeg or Dallas, and they're not in the Pacific time zone.Yeah, all the Pacific and Mountain Time Zone teams are grouped together in the same division.Speaking of which, I wonder if they will bring back the 2-3-2 rule for semifinal/final series between teams across two or more time zones?

jkrdevil Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hmm, I see CC tweeted out my realignment proposal (with logos) I posted on here 4 years ago. Though I came closer in June with the alignment when Atlanta moved. Still not bad for it being 4 years out, though if I remember correctly that was when Betman first proposed a 4 division format, just with conferences and conference playoffs, when they ended up cutting the divsional games from 8 to 6.Anyways thanks for the mention CC.

I mean they're still in 8th and three points out of the division lead/3rd place ( ing PHOENIX. I mean really... REALLY?), but they should be a lot better than they are. Quick/Kopitar/Richards have been awesome, Williams has a bunch of assists, but everyone else isn't really pulling their weight. Speaking of weight, Dustin Penner has lost any skill he had. He had an assist tonight, but he has one goal and 3 assists this season. They still lack the scoring that they've been seeking so desperately. As a team they're last in goals per game and only +1 in goal differential. Defensively, they're 4th in goals against per game, but I'd attribute that to Quick. Jack Johnson and Doughty have been very underwhelming.There's still a bunch of season to go, but I thought the Kings would be a lot better at this point yeah. Same with the Sharks, but with the Sharks it's different expectations now. Like the Capitals, I could care less about their regular seasons, they need playoff wins. The Kings haven't shown me anything more than they did last year, which was barely enough to get into the Western Conference playoff mush. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the building as they got shredded by Philly, but those are sandwhiched by wins in Chicago. They prevailed in Trapfest 2012 in Nashville tonight.Living in Phoenix, I've watched a good portion of their games, and strangely they actually get a lot of play on talk radio, but I just can't figure them out. Some nights they're just shut down and chopped up, others they're a Scrappy-Bunch-Of-GuysTM, then others they piece together a perfect hockey game and dominate.How do you say "enigma" in French? | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's a flaw of either the league or the game of hockey itself that blatant paper tigers like the Coyotes are allowed to be where they are in the standings. A team whose best scorers are Ray Whitney and Radim Vrbata should be locked in the cellar, but they're able to steal games by doing the sort of clutch-and-grab crap that almost put the league out of business. A "scrappy bunch of guys" in the NBA is an 18-win team, and that's the way it ought to be. Elite teams should have elite players. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'll never forget opening night, Sharks vs Coyotes. The Yotes got absolutely shredded, giving up 6 goals on 52 shots. The final score was 6-3 Sharks because of 2 5-on-3 goals for Phoenix. All of a sudden, it's like they're in first. I don't know what to say anymore.
