The Carolina Hurricanes. And literally nobody expected it. They’re a good team. And nobody talks about it. Why are they so quiet? Because they’re Carolina. With Florida having gone on their recent tear, and holding first place in the Metro, fans are coming out of the woodwork. Which is a great thing for what has been one of the NHL’s smallest markets. That leaves Carolina. Even though they have had…
10 game winning streaks don’t come often. I think it’s just been us and Florida so far this year. And that’s with teams like Dallas and Washington in the league. This is an incredible feat. So let’s take a look at how we got here.
Hello. Welcome back from Hiatus. I’m currently in London so if these posts get few and far between that’s why. Luckily I now have something which allows me to watch hockey, so we should be good.
Here are the New Year’s resolutions for all thirty teams. Hopefully this doesn’t take me til the end of January to write. Anaheim: More John Gibson. Gibson has been the best goaltender for the Ducks by far, and his 1.68 GAA is the best in the league. Allowing him to play more will change it, but the number is telling of how good young Gibson is already and he should…
Happy New Year. Quite a good way to ring it in for the Blackhawks. Let’s get to it.
Three Stars: Andrew Shaw Brent Seabrook Jonathon Toews I wish I could give stars of the game to people other than Seabrook and Toews who whiffed on perfect chances. I can’t. Nobody played well last night. I’m going to continue trying to be positive but maybe it’s time to hit the panic button on the season. We’re simply not gelling. Nothing Q has done so far has worked. I don’t…
Three Weeks of Work. The longest article I’ve ever written. Every team’s first third of the season, their biggest plus and their biggest minus.
A few things to consider before the general panic.
Three Stars: 1. Teuvo “Fresh Prince” Teravainen 2. Jonathon “I Can Score Again” Toews 3. Marian “DemiGod” Hossa Welcome back first line. They scored most of the points in last night’s game, and though I didn’t get the line hat trick I wanted so badly, they are one of the reasons the team one. Maybe the reason, if it wasn’t for Corey Vezina-mode Crawford having yet another shutout (that’s three…
I feel like Kane’s swan song was “Locked Away”. “If I showed you my flaws, if I couldn’t be strong, tell me honestly, would you still love me the same”. It’s over. 26 games, the longest active streak. It was ended the way all Blackhawks streaks are ended, by Seymon Varlamov.
