Very quickly into my perusing of the hockey blogosphere, it became clear that there are a ton of NHL team blogs and sometimes very little to suggest that one is empirically or artistically or functionally superior.

We all gravitate to blogs that feature our favorite teams and, once we'......

Holy shit hell yeah. According to Rich Hammond, Anze Kopitar has signed an extension. Since Hammond's a teasing little bitch he doesn't say the terms, but I imagine it's over 5 years and over $6 million dollars......

Jack Johnson was listed at 6'1", 205 lbs. last season. This season, he's listed at 225 and looks huge. Is it possible to gain 20 lbs. of muscle in 3 months? You know, naturally?

Opening night is always a fun time. It was a little subdued, no laser light show or other pre-game theatrics. Can anyone tell me where the Sharks head was?

So, after coming up with some silly gimmicks I ......

Nothing too new in this post, but I figured I'd make a quick chart to show the parallel paths between the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks since the lockout. I normally would have put this in tomorrow's game day post, but we've got other plans afoot (I know, wtf? Plans and BoC? Crazy)
