It's well documented that I'm a big believer in sports mojo, so having the Sharks battle the Calgary Flames in the first round wasn't exactly ideal for me. Anything that involves former coach Darryl Sutter exacting revenge on the team that fired him worries me; throw in...

I haven't seen a lick of G1, and aside from what I'm bound to see in highlight reels, I don't really intend to watch it. I got the gist of it off my cell phone, and as it's a "write it off" game, I'll be much more effective with untainted eyes. Still,...

He's failed as a parent. Doesn't his son know that when you're losing 7-1 you're supposed to whine like a bitch and demand to get traded, not go insane and fight the other goalie?(I know, I'm late getting to this, but c'mon, it's funny!)

Everyone breath a sigh of relief? I had a few people call me overconfident when I made my "good/bad/don't panic" post, but I was looking at the bigger picture here -- and really, if the Sharks couldn't rebound with a strong effort in Game 2, then they had way bigger...

Dustin Brown and Patrick O'Sullivan made Team USA! Other Kings who will likely play in the World Championships include Anze Kopitar and Alex Frolov. Mike Cammalleri has a pretty good track record in international play, so Canada may pick him up despite his sub-standard play this season. ...

You know, all that good mojo that came out of the way the Sharks won Game 4 (effort, clutch scoring, good defense) will go the way of the dodo if they play like the first few minutes of that game: scattered, unfocused, and stupid. A few days ago, I advocated a sort of goon hockey,...
