Sharks Gameday: The End is the Beginning
Next Game Phoenix Coyotes @ San Jose Sharks Saturday, Apr 9, 2011, 7:30 PM PDT HP Pavilion Complete Coverage > <!-- END WIDGET --> Amazing season, Sharks. Well, amazing second half, anyway. Lots of people were doubting this team earlier in the season. I was definitely one of...
Season Review: Jone S. Hillguere, the two-headed netmonster
Hey, gang. Sorry I've fallen off the post bandwagon for a bit there -- even though preseason schedule has been brutally upon us, it still feels a lot like summer doldrums. Yeah, I know that east coast has been showing me its share of preseason on TV, which does help, but until I get to see a...
Season Review: Captain Experience
No more Chris Pronger. No more Francois Beauchemin. No more O'Donnell, no more Schneider, no more Huskins. Most every defenseman that Ducks fans have seen patrol the blueline since the "Mighty" was removed from the team name is now departed. But fret not, Ducks fans, because Mr. Incredible is...
Season Review: Rounding Out the Duck Forwards
Forward Summer Sauce: The ingredients are all in place, time to get mixing! Throughout the late part of this summer, I've been running individual "Season Review" posts for Ducks forwards, and I think I've mostly covered the big players in earlier posts -- Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan, Selanne & Koivu, and...
Season Review: Andrew Ebbett, Odd Man Out?
I've been struggling for days to come up with a good visual pun for Andrew Ebbett, and I'm finally caving in and just writing -- there really wasn't any good way to illustrate Inventing the Ebbetts, and while seemingly there should be a way to compare his stature to that of a hobbit, from a...
Season Review: The Million Man Marchant
Previous Anaheim Season Reviews: Getzlaf, Perry, Bobby Ryan, Selanne & Koivu, Lupul It happened right before my eyes, and I barely even noticed. Sometime during the late course of last season, Todd "Stone Hands" "Leprechaun" Marchant magically transformed from a dude with an expiring contract...
Season Review: Oompa Lupul
Oompa Lupul doompadee doo,I’ve got a hockey lesson for you,Oompa Lupul doompadah dee,If you are wise you’ll listen to me.What do you with a kid who shoots hard?Trade him for Pronger, send him northward,When it comes time when Pronger must be moved,Reverse the trade and hope the...
Season Review: The Finnished Flash (and Koivu, too!)
Another summer, another non-retirement by Selanne -- probably his last, I'd wager, and I know I'll miss the annual drama. But of all Teemu's recent non-retirements, this one could be the most welcome of them all. Not only does it represent a closing chapter to the franchise's greatest player...
Season Review: B-Ry Hits His Money Year
Yeah, I'm mixing Monty Python metaphors here. But I do like the hinged jaw. While I did start by profiling Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry for this "Season Review" series -- they are indeed Anaheim's established first-line stars -- let's not forget that when asked to pick last season, I instead...
Season Review: Everybody Hates Corey
With this summer's departure of hate-magnet Chris Pronger, you figure the Ducks would finally be out of suspendable jerks with the initials "CP", but we mustn't forget the ever-irritating presence of Corey Fucking Perry. While it is certainly Pronger that brought out the vast majority of boos in...
