Wow, Niemi has 3 shutouts in his 8 NHL starts.

Also, watching American Hockey games is difficult, the announcers and colour guys are so awful. It's no wonder the sport has a hard time gaining a foothold in the states.

Awesome game from the 'Hawks. Niemi gets his 3rd shutout of the season. Lightning did their best to good up the game in the 3rd period.

Chicago now only 2 points behind LA/SJ with 3 games in hand. :D

Especially tomorrow ;)

Looks like the Hawks owned tonight...
It isn't so much me as it is Hossa. He's good.
His goal tonight was fucking awesome. Grabs it out of mid-air, drops it to his stick, and shoots it in without it hitting the ice.

They didn't come out of no where. They were near the bottom of the heap for quite a few years and they built themselves up with prospects into what they are today.

Congrats newbie to the gaf hockey thread for stating the obvious.

I'm talking about in the past 1-2 weeks

Thats true man he was and Anderson needed a break for sure, so I guess I shouldn't be so down on the guy.
Interesting couple of months inbound with the home streak too, so it'll be nice to have him around to keep Anderson rested.

Guess I'm glad they didn't trade him afterall.

Pretty sure they are ahead of the Sharks due to their wins in the Pac Conf.. they are 9-1-1 agst the Pacific Division this year..

They had two 4-game win streaks in October and were 8-4-2 for the month, but then went 7-8 in the next 15 games until they recently got their shit back together in the last two weeks.

Yeah, they're just ahead by a tiebreaker, but also for the conference Chicago could be considered looking better only behind by two points with three extra games in the tank. Still I like our (Kings) chances this year in general. It's been a rough 7 years. The last great thing I got to see was them taking out Detroit in game 7 of round 1 back in 2002 (then of course promptly losing in the second round anyway.)

Right in time for the playoffs! ...oh wait... Ducks fan. ;)

Have you always followed the Ducks from down there, though? That's pretty strange

:lol

(Warning: Self indulgent post)

Yeah, a rare case.. An Australian that loves the NHL and hates all other sports.

Been following the Ducks only since 2006 though. My mate (Old Pens fan) got me into NHL when we started watching friday games at Pub lunch (at lunchtime here, games are happening live). Watched the first round/first game with the (Mighty) Ducks & Flames and instantly fell in love. After seeing that first postseason game, I followed nearly every game I can, to the best of my ability, since then.

Maybe if I just randomly yell out "HELLO GAF !" in the middle of downtown Vancouver, I'll get a response by a GAF member :lol

Do it :D especially if you're around Kits - I'll keep an ear out ;)

I was looking at the standings and Vancouver is the only team remaining in the NHL that hasn't lost past regulation. If I recall, I think they have played in 2 shootouts, winning both. Let's go Canucks!

Okay, that was indeed awesome. He didn't even let the puck touch the ice.
Yeah. I thought he meant Hossa hit it as it touched the ice (which isnt as difficult), but it was a foot above still. Great goal.

The Sharks have 5 fucking days off. REALLY NHL SCHEDULING? Fucking assholes. Hey here's the rest of the Western Conference's chance to put us behind 6 or so points.

Relax, every team still has to play 82 games. It's not like they're taking games away from the Sharks. :lol

But yeah, the scheduling sucks this season for every team.

I know they're not taking any away but they had a 3 or 4 day break last week and this week there's a 5 day break? It's fucking terrible, I want to see my team play.

Another day, another Red Wing added to the injury list.

Darren Helm this time, wrist injury. Kris Newbury called up for tonight's game.

5 days off....other top WC teams playing in those 5 days....they may win to gain points which would in turn put them ahead of us by a margin?

...but you're still going to play the same amount of games by the end of the season regardless, so it doesn't matter in the long run. It might seem bad in the present, but at the end of it, everything evens out and you have just as many chances as any other team to get your points. Look at the games in hand more than the points themselves.

I do get the frustration of your team not playing for five days, though. We've all experienced it this season.

I am sorry, but some teams has been 7-8 days off. This does not just happen to the sharks.

I know you're already getting enough grief from other people, but nevertheless...

Acid08 said:

Are you seriously complaining about this? Never mind that other teams have had at least 5 days off at times, and maybe even twice already this season. And never mind actual important shit worth getting upset about like the Canucks taking the longest road trip in NHL history later this season.

Man, so fucking what?

Sharks fans, more than other fans, seem to take particular interest in short-term appearances.

I think the Leafs went a full week between games (Saturday to Saturuday).

There have also been inexplicable "dark days" in the NHL (no scheduled games). I can understand holidays like Christmas or so, but for the most part there should at least be ONE game on any given day.

What the fuck is with all of you? All I said is that I'm upset the Sharks are getting an extended break because I want to see them play. I didn't say anything about any other teams. And yes I am worried because the Sharks are having their worst December since 2003.

Socreges if you made a post complaining about the Canucks road trip I wouldn't run in insulting you.

Dude, if that's all it was, no one would have replied to you! What got me was you calling NHL schedulers "assholes" despite the fact that your complaint has been common across the board this season. The big thing, though, was your ridiculous concern about other teams matching the Sharks' 34 games played over this time and therefore possibly passing them. And even if a team played more, that would give you a game or two in hand, so what the fuck does it matter, right??

Neither would I with you, buddy! Really, I didn't mean to insult you. Consider it more a smack in the back of the head than anything. ;) I think you've become a little bit obsessive about the standings.

Aren't the standings all us Sharks fans have?

I'm not worried about them matching the amount of games we've played, but the points we have.
