Ryane Clowe to face punishment from NHL for coming off Sharks bench to fight?

In the closing moments of the Sharks’ loss to the Blackhawks on Friday, Ryane Clowe retaliated against Chicago forward Andrew Shaw for a questionable hit Shaw laid on Joe Pavelski from behind seconds prior. Now the NHL is looking into whether Clowe illegally came off the Sharks bench to get into the scrap with Shaw. If the league determines that to be the case, it’s likely a 10-game suspension for Clowe. According to Kevin Kurz, Clowe will talk to the league on Monday: Clowe will have a hearing on Monday. No word yet on if he can play tonight in Dallas. He won’t be made available to comment today. #sjsharks — Kevin Kurz (@KKurzCSN) February 23, 2013 Cynically speaking, it’s not like that would be a huge blow for the Sharks. Clowe has all but 6 points (0 goals) in 16 games this season. Realistically speaking, however, the Sharks can’t afford right now to lose one of their top six forwards (on paper, at least) with the team amid a painfully ugly slump. Here’s the video from CSN Chica...

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 23, 2013
via David Pollak of the Mercury News, The NHL is reviewing the final minute of the Sharks' 2-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks to determine whether Ryane Clowe left the bench or was in the middle of a line change when he went after forward Andrew Shaw. Clowe apparently took exception to Shaw's decision to drive Joe Pavelski into the boards in the game's final...

Sharks’ Ryan Clowe faces 10-game ban after leaving bench for last-minute fight

This season has not gone the way San Jose Sharks forward Ryan Clowe planned it.  Through 16 games, he still hasn’t recorded a goal, and now he could be facing a big suspension for this incident with Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw.  In the final seconds of the 2-1 loss against Chicago, Clowe took exception to a hit that Shaw delivered on Joe Pavelski, and allegedly left...

from David Pollak of Working the Corners, ... one-third of the way through the season, San Jose continues to be on a downhill slide after elevating expectations by going 7-0-0 out of the chute. Now at 8-5-3, that’s the kind of bad sequence of events that can lead to everything from major trades to coaching changes to dismissals in the front office if things continue to go...

from David Pollak of the Mercury News, ... Friday night, the team that started 7-0-0 ended up on the wrong side of history, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Chicago Blackhawks, who set an NHL record by completing the first 17 games of a season without a regulation loss. Still, it was how the Sharks lost -- on a short-handed goal at 2:24 of the third period by rookie Brandon...

Joe Thornton takes on Jamie Benn in superstar NHL tilt

Via Diehardsport  |  February 23, 2013
This is the second fight in a eight days for San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton, and he was clearly the instigator in this one.  I’m not sure what Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn did to piss him off, but clearly something happened for Thornton to pull the old cup check move.  The best part of this tilt?  Thornton motioning for Benn to take off his helmet so that neither of...

The Sharks: Losing Mind Games

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 23, 2013
Winning breeds winning. The Sharks defense is "winning," their offense isn't.  It's easier to get your brain into a defensive or reactive mode when you lack confidence.  Being aggressive or creative requires confidence.   Confidence or such a lack of it that you feel fear, like a cornered animal.   You don't want that.  The execution of a cornered animal...
