For as long as I can remember, games between the Detroit Red Wings and San Jose Sharks have always been exciting to watch. I am sure my fellow Red Wings fans and the fans of the Sharks can all agree with me on this. It all started in 1994 when the No. 1 Detroit Red [...]

According to the venerable Elias Sports Bureau, the San Jose Sharks’ Western Conference semifinal victory over the Detroit Red Wings marked the first time in NHL history that six games in a playoff series were decided by one goal. They were one empty-netter in Game 6 away from it having been all seven. So you can, in fact, quantify that the Sharks…

I wonder if Dr. Seuss was alive, what he would say about these awards and better yet if the NHL had a set of cajones.* First off, we cannot forget the label of being well rejected.
Yes it is a very simple yet useful word especially for our case here.So here they come…our first annual

The Program Reject NHL Awards……

There is a world of hurt going on right now. Another 0-2 night and the second in a row. Sometimes you just have to take a stand and see what happens. I do not think there is a way both road teams can win tonight at all. The weight of the world is on Montreal and Detroit’s shoulders. It is like a 700 lb silverback gorilla on them that will not let go. What can you do as one who has had some pretty good success all year?

This was supposed to be the game where the Detroit Red Wings exerted their will against an inexperienced, upstart team. Instead, the Wings walked away humiliated, spanked, and with their tails between their legs.

Let me first note this:If the Red Wings are going to have to score

San Jose Sharks
The Sharks have most of the same players from last years squad returning this year. Those who departed from the team won’t make a big enough impact to drop the Sharks down the leader board. While the Sharks may not be able to duplicate their President Trophy winning season, on paper they should at least finish with 48+ wins, and that may just be good enough.

Devin Setoguchi will be able to build off the experience he got from playing his first full season last year; and will be called on once again to be a scoring threat.

It’s the 4th of July, ready for some hockey? It’s time to celebrate America’s Birthday by vivisecting the roster decisions made by one of the premier franchises in Canada’s national game. On July 1st, “Canada Day” or their version of Independence Day the Hawks made the biggest headlines in the NHL as the league officially [...]

DETROIT (AP) – Max Talbot scored two second-period goals, and the Pittsburgh Penguins overcame the loss of captain Sidney Crosby and a whole lot of history to beat the defending champion Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Friday night in Game 7 and win the Stanley Cup for the third time.

Instead of the Red Wings becoming the NHL’s first repeat champion since they won consecutive titles in 1997 and 1998.

Haven’t we seen this song and dance before? Sure some of the performers may have changed (some playing with the other side), but I feel confident that the results will remain the same as before. If you want to strictly look at the team numbers

And then there were two left in the West.

An Original Six matchup featuring an experienced Red Wings team who want to be repeat champs and a young Chicago team that has the hunger to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals.

After an easy first round sweep of Columbus, Detroit was shown that they can be forced into a game seven situation (although they were facing the 06/07 Cup Champions.) Will winning that high pressure game put that fire in their bellies? Will they be more determined to end the Hawks as quickly as they can so that they aren’t put on the brink of elimination for the second time?
