UFA Options: Markus Naslund, Brendan Morrison, Byron Ritchie & Brad Isbister
I've recently taken a look at the Behind the Net quality of competition statistics for Vancouver, and I have to admit that I found myself chuckling a little bit. Alain Vigneault clearly believes in having a designated checking line, but in any case all of this is beside the point- the point being...
Bias
I’ve long suspected that NHL coaches and GM’s place far too much emphasis on the games a player plays against their own team. Either Tyler at Mc79hockey.com or Vic at IOF suggested that Daniel Tjarnqvist was acquired largely because he played the tough matchups against Edmonton.I wonder if much the...
Monday Practice and Injury Update
First, from Mike Heika comes word that Tom Wandell will be in the starting lineup tomorrow against the Canucks. Initially, the plan was to just have him practice with the team until the end of the year. But like a lot of plans the Stars had this season, injuries created a bit of an adjustment. As...
Oh How We REALLY Miss You Now, Brad Richards
It's been three weeks since Brad Richards took a hit into the boards and fractured his wrist at Nationwide Arena. Since then, the Stars power play just hasn't been the same.But in no game since that fateful night in Columbus has his absence been missed as much as it was last night against Montreal....
Catching up with the WCE
It's been a whole three seasons since the west coast express was derailed and a whole eight weeks since it was scuttled, blow up, picked apart by ravens and sent to the far corners of the hockey world. But, since I am a complete glutton for punishment and I do hold a special place in my corrupted...
Ducks to Sign Brendan Morrison and other musings of a Ducks fan
According to the O.C. Register, the Anaheim Ducks will announce tomorrow the signing of Brendan Morrison. He supposedly wants to reunite with Brian Burke (awwww). He is also expected to center the second line. He better be coming here cheap, because I don't see this being a good financial decision....
B-Mo! Burke upgrades through West Coast Exchange
UFA forward Brendan Morrison reportedly is signing a one-year contract tomorrow with the Ducks. I haven’t heard the salary figure [UPDATE: TSN says 1 year, $2.75 M; thanks Mike in OC!], so I won’t get detailed into budget repercussions just yet. Still, here's three marginally useful thoughts I...
BoC Gameday—What Scares Me About Your Team
Anaheim Ducks (t-1st in west) at San Jose Sharks (t-1st in west)Winner of tonight’s game is on top of the west!Ah, the beauty of a new NHL season afoot, and what better way to kick it off than with a good ol’ Battle of California (competitive version)? Yeah, I know there were some "counting" games...
Just thinking out loud here
Absolutely nothing is working for the top lines of the Ducks, but the bottom two lines are thriving. Rob N., Pahlsson, Moen, Marchant, Carter, May, Parros, and Sutherby -- those eight players have combined for 6 goals and 8 assists, and Carter, May, and Parros are each +3 -0 at even...
Ducks Gameday—The importance of a good dentist
Detroit Red Wings (7-1-1, 2nd in west) at Anaheim Ducks (5-5-0, t-5th in west)Ah, it's never felt so good to be back at .500Well, I don't know if it was a lucky mix of positivity and poetry (Poetrivity!), but somehow the Ducks pulled off a nice 4-game sweep on their road trip, to nicely recover...
