Can someone post video of Carolina’s goal at about the 9:13 mark in the 3rd period tonight? Amazing goal. Them Russians are sneaky... Thank you for taking the time to post that video. I’ve never seen a goal scored like that. Amazing. |

This Michigan one was the first I ever saw or heard about.
Crosby did it in junior too, sort of his ‘yes I am as good as the hype’ moment.

That is such amazing hand eye, skating, and situational awareness. Love seeing skill like that, just like the one CJ posted also. You know its great stuff, cool, etc simply by looking at the faces of the other players who are stunned at what just happened. Kind of diminishes it for me that Crosby did it...I get he is a great player but I can’t stand that guy! |

via the CP at the Globe and Mail,
Cheveldayoff talked to reporters in San Jose a day after reports emerged that Byfuglien underwent surgery for a high ankle sprain last week in his native Minnesota, and that the Jets were not directly involved in the decision-making process.
The general manager confirmed both points on Thursday, but otherwise danced around questions regarding Byfuglien’s status with the team.
“It’s a complicated issue,” Cheveldayoff said. “It’s a real complicated issue when it comes to answering any questions that you might have.”
Cheveldayoff wouldn’t say whether there was a difference of opinion between the team and Byfuglien’s camp on what kind of medical procedure was required to address his ankle injury, which he suffered late last season. He also wouldn’t weigh in on whether a return to the Jets this season was a possibility for Byfuglien.
“We were aware he was contemplating [the surgery],” he added. “When we said we weren’t directly involved, we weren’t directly involved. But we knew he was contemplating that. As far as what remains for the future, it’s something that we’ll just have to wait and see.”

14 games in the sharks are a shitshow.
I have been saying I will wait until 20 games in to access this team but this is brutal.

Now this was a good fight. Sharks should call this kid up. Won't help them win but might make them tolerable and watchable.

It might be that not signing Micheal Ferland was actually a wise thing from Doug Wilson.

Surprised how well Lowry did. Not a great look for Reaves.

Those fucken Frenchies are at it again. This is a yearly complaint, like taxes
from Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette,
The leaders on the Montreal Canadiens should be able to speak in the language of Guy Lafleur.
It’s a question of respect. If you’re part of the leadership group on the team, you should acknowledge the society you’re living in by making the effort to talk to the media en français. I’m not talking about most Habs players, who’re here maybe just for a season or two. They don’t have to learn French.
But I believe that the captain — that’s you, Shea Weber! — and the unofficial captain — that’s you, Carey Price! — should be able to at least have a short conversation in French. I’d add Brendan Gallagher to this list as well. They’re the three leaders of this team and is it really asking too much of them to suggest they spend a little time over the course of the summer working on their French?
The funny thing is that owner and president Geoff Molson is clearly 110-per-cent committed to ensuring that the Canadiens have a francophone face. The head coach has to be bilingual and it appears that the general manager also has to be able to be fluent in Quebec’s official language. I don’t want to get in to whether or not that is the best policy, but what we can agree on is that policy seriously limits the team’s choice in terms of who they hire as GM and coach.
Meanwhile no such demands are made on the players. It was a question that raised its controversial head several years into Saku Koivu’s tenure as captain of the CH, with a number of francophone fans and commentators wondering why they’d never heard Koivu say even ‘bonjour’ in public. I always felt those critics had a point.
The team plays in a province where the majority of their fans are French-speaking. Why wouldn’t you want to acknowledge that by speaking to them directly in their mother tongue? I’m not saying Weber, Price and Gallagher have to be fluently bilingual. But all of us in Montreal know it isn’t that hard to learn enough of the “other” language to be able to have a conversation, especially if it’s about something as straightforward as the game of hockey.
I was thinking about this after seeing Ken Dryden on Radio-Canada talk show Tout le monde en parle Sunday night. Dryden was there as part of the promotional tour for his latest book, Scotty: A Hockey Life Like No Other, a biography of his former coach Scotty Bowman. Near the end of the interview, host Guy A. Lepage noted that Dryden arrived in town from Ontario to play with the Canadiens in 1971 and “you learned French and you insisted on doing your interviews in French as much as possible during all your years in Montreal. You left 40 years ago. You returned to Ontario and you continue to speak to us in French. I’d like to say in the name of all Quebecers, we really appreciate that.”
That remark was greeted with a warm enthusiastic round of applause from the studio audience.
Dryden replied to Lepage with his usual intelligence: “You’re very patient and that is everything for someone who speaks in another language.”
What a beautiful, thoughtful reply! Dryden is a class act on every level — and he happens to be a great writer, too — and I just think that today’s Habs stars could take a little inspiration from the story of how Dryden embraced Quebec culture.

from Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet,
San Jose is in a world of trouble right now. The Sharks, losers of five straight, are last in a Pacific Division that has seen the Canucks, Oilers and — to a lesser degree — the Ducks get off to surprisingly great starts. Just as a team like Vancouver can arrive ahead of schedule, an older club like San Jose gets over the hill so fast in today’s NHL. More than any other organization that has not hung a championship banner, San Jose — which has missed the playoffs just twice in two decades — deserves the benefit of the doubt. But the Sharks cannot get a save right now, a trend that’s carried over from last year when they were still able to overcome substandard goaltending. This is as ugly as it gets in Northern California.
