More Playoff Recapping

Canadiens: 4


Bruins: 1

Predictable.

************************************************************


Red Wings: 3


Predators: 1

***********************************************************************


Stars: 4


Ducks: 0

Damn. There goes my prediction. I really want a Battle of California at some point, so these Ducks had better get it together. Do you hear that, Chris Pronger?!

***********************************************************************

And, finally:



Sharks 2, Flames 0. This is becoming an epic, deliriously exciting battle of the goalies. Kipprusoff was awesome, but Nabokov was truly the the Beast from the Eastern Steppes. I've run out of good pictures, so here's two videos of Nabby from last night:

Playoff Coach's Corner

Last Night

New York Rangers: 4


New Jersey Devils: 1

So the Rangers win this one. I have a feeling my predictions will look ridiculous very soon, at least as far as this series is concerned.

**************************************************************


Colorado Avalanche: 3


Minnesota Wild: 2

Most exciting game of the night!

*********************************************************************

As for the games I was looking forward to:


Pittsburgh Penguins: 4


Ottawa Senators: 0

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**************************************************************************


Calgary Flames: 3


San Jose Sharks: 2

That last picture says it all I think.

Offseason Thoughts...

OK folks... I've been thinking. For those of you who know me personally you know how scary that is.

It is obvious we need a number 1 center (among other things). Those guys just don't grow on trees you know. I'll refrain from speculating what possible players we might get this offseason (other than Jason Smith of course). Consider this scenario for a moment if you will:

Step 1:

Thrashers trade for a #1 center to play with Kovy. Possibly using a combination of Pavelic, our draft pick from the Pens, and a prospect for trade bait. Obviously depending on who we get will dictate our offer. I think we can get a #1 guy without taking someone significant off of our roster.

Step 2:

Sign Moose to backup Kari. Under this scenario we are saying Kari is our man. I'm fine with that.

Step 3:

This leaves us with cap room to still sign 2 top 4 defensemen. Throw in the guy we are going to pick at #3 in the draft and our defense is much better (sounds easy doesn't it!). And again, depending on who we sign we could still have room for a second line winger.

Just some thoughts to chew on. This offseason is loaded with options for us. I don't understand why everyone is so negative. I think this is an exciting time!

Peacock Playoff Predictions

Everyone else is doing it, you say, and if everyone else was jumping off a bridge, etc..

So off the bridge I go, following Grand Shooteur all the way down.

EAST

(1) Montreal Canadiens vs. (8) Boston Bruins

Isn't it painfully obvious? Boston isn't that great, really, especially with Marc Savard confined to the chiropractor's den. Tim Thomas is a reasonably good goalie, but he's also a reasonably shaky and inconsistent goalie; I'll echo Grand Shooteur in warning you not to be surprised if Carey Price turns out to be a Patrick Roy or a Cam Ward. Then there's that pesky power play/penalty kill issue. Boston is miserable at penalty kills (28th in the league, I think), and you can be sure that they'll take a fair number of penalties. Which sucks for them, because Montreal is the best team in the league when it comes to power plays. Carey Price will be an ambidextrous wall, Andrei Markov and company will be rock-solid on defense, and look for Alexei Kovalev to be a candidate for MVP.
Peacock Prediction: Habs in 4

(2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (7) Ottawa Senators

Another hilarious mismatch. The Pens' firepower--Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Malone, some guy called Hossa--will be too much for Jason Spezza and Dany "I kill people" Heatley to match. Sergei Gonchar is one of the league's finest defensemen, much better than anyone on the Sens, and the Senators goal-tending has been nothing short of disastrous in these last few weeks. The Senators MIGHT squeak out one win. It'll be interesting to see if Hossa delivers. Whether he does or not:
Peacock Prediction: Penguins in 5.

(3) Washington Capitals vs. (6) Philadelphia Flyers

This is going to be a wild one. I'm not going to reproduce any of the stock metaphors that the hockey press has used to describe Ovechkin and the Caps' phenomenal surge. I will say that the Caps are awfully good, and that Ovie has a fine supporting cast of defensemen and forwards. And he has Cristobal Huet backing him up. The Flyers will be ferocious though: they'll clamp down hard on Ovechkin and play violent, solid defense, egged on by their barbarous fans. But I think Ovie is such a sparkplug-firework-lighting bolt-freight train-hurricane-Cossack cavalry officer, and that the Caps fans will be so exuberant and energy-generating, that he'll break free of their clutches just enough to lead the Caps to victory.
Peacock Prediction: Caps in 7

(4) New Jersey Devils vs. (5) New York Rangers

This is going to be awfully boring. Not just because I dislike both teams, but because it will be a goalie's duel between Lundquist and Brodeur. I think Brodeur is better, as is the Devils defense, so:
Peacock Prediction: Devils in 5

WEST

(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (8) Nashville Predators

Nothing would thrill me more than Big Greg de Vries and the Preds pulling it out over those damned Devil Wings, but, well, come on...
Peacock Prediction: Red Wings in 5

(2) San Jose Sharks vs. (7) Calgary Flames

The Sharks are lacking in almost nothing, while even a team as good as the Flames has a few holes here and there. The Sharks have the NHL's best goalie in Nabokov, the craftiest defense, and the league's best play-maker in Joe Thornton. The Flames will put up a huge, physical fight though. Jarome Iginla is a fighter in every sense of the word: look for him to have a few passionate outbursts and dust-ups. The Flames will battle bravely, and Dion Phaneuf will clear his territory as much as he can (and maybe even score a few goals), but ultimately Thornton and co. are just too hard to beat. Expect lots of highlight-reel-quality bodychecking.
Peacock Prediction: Sharks in 6

(3) Minnesota Wild vs. (6) Colorado Avalanche

Along with Washington vs. Philly and San Jose vs. Calgary, this is going to be one of the most exciting to watch. These two are evenly matched, they're division rivals, nothing I have to say here is remotely original...The Av's will put up a huge fight, but eventually:
Peacock Prediction: Wild in 7

(4) Anaheim Ducks vs. (5) Dallas Stars

Have you watched/read about the Stars recently? They suck mightily. Meanwhile, Pronger, Niedermayer, and co. are a well-oiled killing machine. No contest.
Peacock Prediction: Ducks in 4

Second round predictions? You want second round predictions? Fine.

Montreal will beat the Devils. Pittsburgh will beat Washington in a rip-roaring 7 game explosion of youthful exuberance, passion, and rage.

San Jose will beat Minnesota easily. Anaheim will beat the Red Wings in a tough and exhausting 7-game series.

Conference finals? Montreal over Pittsburgh in a GREAT 7-game series. San Jose over a tired Anaheim in a 5 or 6 game Battle of California.

Which obviously makes my picks for the Stanley Cup Montreal and San Jose. San Jose will win. A good thing, too.

Playoff Game Day!

Free Agent Thought Experiment #1

I would love to land Brian Campbell for next year, and the franchise certainly has the money to do it (assuming that Brian would take dirty sexy money in Atlanta over nobility and prestige in San Jose), but in case we don't go after Campbell here are some free agents that I think we MUST lure to Atlanta:

Mark Streit- Awesome defenseman, fearsome on the power play, not getting paid enough by Montreal. The Habs probably won't be able to give him enough of a raise to keep him in Montreal next year. Think about it. To hold him down the Habs would have to subtract from Carey Price's raise, and that simply ain't gonna happen. I say we offer him a tempting sum.

Brooks Orpik- Another fine defenseman, and offensively skilled as well. The Pens are counting their money closely, as Malkin is going to get a massive raise after next season. That means no money for Brooks. Where will Brooks find the money he deserves? In the Dirty, of course, where else? The Pens give Malkin the reward he deserves, and the Thrashers get another Penguin. Everybody wins.

Daymond Langkow- Considered an excellent 2nd line center, this fellow is what we call a "power forward," something Atlanta sorely needs. Still not a top center for Kovy, but he could handle the second line while Christensen becomes Kovy's line-mate. I think Crusher has the potential to develop into a great 1st line center/ power forward. Let him play. And let Langkow hold down the second line. Money, please.

Jason Smith- Do I even need to explain?

Ryan Malone- This feller is absolutely essential in my opinion. He WOULD be a great line-mate for Kovy, except the two of them both play left wing. Perhaps he could play on a line with his fellow Penguins Army and Crusher. Either and any way, he would an awesome boost to the team and the supporting actor our leading man has needed for a long, long time. The Czar doesn't need a co-Czar or a Slovak prince; he needs a prime minister. Pittsburgh is going to try to give Malone a big raise, but there's no way they'll be able to match us in funds. Welcome to ATL, Ryan.

One of the interesting things about this batch is that Malone and Orpik, in addition to being Penguins, are both American. It's high time we had some true blue red-blooded Yankee males on this team (not that Jim Slater isn't red-blooded and all that, but you know what I mean). If we can't land at least SOME of these folks Waddell really does need to be flogged by a lesbian nun. We certainly have the money...

Penguins Fans Suspicious of Hossa's Postseason Capabilities

Regardless of how long the Penguins last in the playoffs or what Hossa's point total is, he's not going to be playing to change anyone's mind about him.

"I know my numbers are not the same as in the regular season," Hossa said. "Everybody compares those numbers, and they're below, so people are pointing that out. That's fine. They can do whatever they want.

"I will be doing exactly the same thing I was doing, just play my game, have some fun and work hard. I am here to play."

-From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

We're Number Three! We're Number Three! We're...

So we didn't get lucky and seize the number one draft pick. Just so none of you get too down about this, I've conducted some exhaustive and wide-ranging research about past number three draft picks (and draft picks lower than number three). Yes, it is too bad we're not getting Stamkos. But look at who we MIGHT be getting (metaphorically speaking, of course):

Past #3 Picks

Jonathan Toews
Jack Johnson
Nathan Horton
Marian Gaborik
Henrik Sedin
Brad Stuart
Olli Jokinen
Scott Niedermayer

Past Picks Ranked Lower Than #3
A rather more impressive list, actually...

Sam Gagner
Toby Enstrom
Nicklas Backstrom
Peter Mueller
Boris Valabik
Bryan Little
Alexandre Picard
Thomas Vanek
Milan Michalek
Braydon Coburn
Dion Phaneuf
Ryan Getzlaf
Ryan Whitney
Alexander Semin
Pascal Leclaire
Colby Armstrong
Nikolai Antropov
Alex Tanguay
Roberto Luongo
Sergei Samsonov
Marian Hossa
Jarome Iginla
Daymond Langkow
Rob Niedermayer
Viktor Kozlov
Jason Arnott
Cory Stillman
Jason Smith
Peter Forsberg
Alexei Kovalev
Markus Naslund
Jaromir Jagr
Bobby Holik
Olaf Kolzig
Jeremy Roenick
Rob Brind'amour
Joe Sakic
Grant Fuhr
Mark Messier

Take your pick!

I'm sure Stamkos is every bit as good as we think, but let's not forget all those less-than-spectacular number one's over the years:

Will these men get Hossa a Stanley Cup?

Malkin, Staal, and Crosby celebrate their latest foray into the playoffs.

It's Going to be a Defenseman

Yes, I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get the number one pick. Stamkos would have been an immense help to Kovalchuk, but I think the Czar has proven that he can take of himself just fine. For the time being Kovy will have to continue being his own center while we snatch up a top defenseman like Drew Doughty, Alex Pietrangelo, or Zach Bogosian. Which is exactly what we need, in case you haven't noticed.

All of this complicates the matter of Brian Campbell. Should we still throw millions and millions at him this summer if we get an offensively skilled defenseman like Doughty? Would the money be better spent on a high-producing forward like Ryan Malone?* What do you kids think?


*Sign Ryan Malone!

Draft Lottery Dementia

Bob McKenzie of TSN has written an indispensable article about the draft. Historically, the lowest-ranked team (and therefore the one with the highest chance of winning) has only won three times, while the second lowest-ranked has NEVER won. The majority of the lotteries have been won by one of the other bottom five teams. Like us. Fingers crossed, etc. etc.

The Czar Lays Down the Law

Custance:

...the losing this year, Kovalchuk said, got to him more than any other season. Mostly because he got a taste of the playoffs last year, which gave him high expectations this year, but it doesn't help that other Russians like Ovechkin and Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin are making playoff runs.

No, he'd never admit that. He pointed out that Ovechkin was sitting at home last year when the Thrashers were in the playoffs.

But clearly, Kovalchuk has had it with the losing. He voiced his frustrations with pointed post-game comments as the season sunk to new depths, until finally admitting he felt empty after the season finale.

"I think for him," teammate Niclas Havelid said, "enough is enough."

The bottom line seems to be that if Waddell doesn't make the right moves in the off-season, and if the Thrashers don't make it to the playoffs next year, the Czar will go rule some other city. This is sickening. This is despair-inducing. This is disheartening in the extreme. I can't blame him, though. If you're reading, Donnie, do your duty.

Obviously, if we win the lottery tomorrow night we get Steve Stamkos, who seems to be a real live play-making center who could play alongside Kovalchuk. Fingers crossed, comrades, fingers crossed...

Playoff Predictions

Finally! The best time of the year. For those of you who would like to know just how little I know about hockey, here is your chance. Without further ado, my playoff predictions:

Eastern Conference:

Montreal vs Boston:

It's about time this great rivalry got going again isn't it? I'll admit, I didn't think Boston would make it but here they are. They will be really hurt by Savard not being available. Montreal on the other hand could be without their captain Koivu. I don't think that will hurt them very much, and I think Carey Price is the real deal. No playoff meltdown here. Habs in 5.

Pittsburgh vs Ottawa:

Ottawa nearly had the most historic collapse of all time. Don't look for them to do any better in the first round. Alfredsson will be out, which only means he won't have an opportunity to choke. Martin Gerber on the other hand will have multiple opportunities to choke. The Penguins firepower will be too much for Ottawa to handle. Crosby, Malkin, Malone, Stall and yes, even Hossa. I look for the Pens to put the puck in the net, and do it often. Pens in 6.

Washington vs Philadelphia:

The Caps come in to the playoffs the hottest team in the East. I think they have the fourth most points in the NHL since Boudreau took over (for those of you who HAVE to know the numbers you can look it up on your own). Ovie will SHINE in the postseason. Huet has been great. And if he falters they have Olie The Goalie to fall back on. This could be the year the Caps put their postseason blues behind them. As you can see, I don't think much of the Flyers. Caps in 6.

New Jersey vs New York:

Two great goaltenders. That is what the playoffs is all about. I don't think the Devils will score enough to win this series. Plain and simple. The Rangers could make some serious noise in the playoffs, especially with the East as wide open as it is. And they have some guy named Chris Drury. I hear he is pretty good in the clutch. Rangers in 6.

Western Conference:

Detroit vs Nashville:

What a job by Nashville to make it to the playoffs. Unfortunately, they have to play the Wings again. I think this is the 4th year in a row the Preds have made it, and haven't won a round yet. The Wings have some holes, but I don't think Nashville is the team to expose them. I'm not high on the Red Wings, but I think they will hang in there for at least one round. Wings in 6.

San Jose vs Calgary:

Best matchup of the first round. San Jose was my preseason pick to win it all. And it looks like they are peaking at the right time. They have the scoring, defense and goaltending to do it all. And I think they are tough enough. The Flames are built for the playoffs, and any team that beats them will have to earn it. The battle of Kipper and Nabby will be awesome! I look for this to be an absolute classic first round match. Sharks in 7.

Minnesota vs Colorado:

The Wild have the playoff toughness to win, but for some reason I just can't fall in love with them. Backstrom will have to prove himself. As will their offense. The Avs on the other hand could be the most interesting team in the playoffs. Can Forsberg stay healthy enough to make an impact? Will Theodore recapture some of his old magic? If he can the Avs could be in it for the long haul. Avs in 6.

Anaheim vs Dallas:

I hate the Stars have I ever mentioned that? There is nothing more that I enjoy than watching them suffer, and I couldn't be happier that they drew the Ducks in the first round. They could very well repeat as Champs. I look for them to steam roll the Stars. Huge checks, tough D and timely goaltending. Ducks in 4.

Coach's Corner, April 5

Way To Go Preds!!

Well deserved congratulations go to Big Greg deVries and the other Nashville Predators. No other team faced such obstacles in the offseason, and yet here they are, making the playoffs once again.

The team almost moved to Ontario, Paul Kariya walked, Vokun wound up with the Panthers. The list goes on and on. I'm happy for the fans. I'd like nothing more than to see the Preds take out the Wings in the first round.

And how would you like to be involved with the Canucks organ-I-zation right now? Man, heads are going to roll. That team should NOT miss the playoffs. It will be interesting to see what happens in that beautiful city.

On a side note... LETS GO CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: It was brought to my attention that Dany Heatley, you know... prison inmate number 429736, and the Ottawa Senators will miss the playoffs if the following happens (to the best of our knowledge anyway):

Friday: Bruins, Canes, and Philly all win (B's in regulation)
Saturday: Caps win, B's get at least a point
Sunday: Philly wins

And I will be a happy man.

The Journey

And so another year has come and gone.

Still no Stanley Cup.

If you are anything like me, you are more than just a fan. There are those that occasionally go to a game. They might catch up on the highlights to see the score or maybe even check in on Custance from time to time to try and stay in the loop.

Then there are the rest of us. No we are not large in number, but we are passionate. We are the kind that go to every single game. We sit there and root on our team through the good and the bad. What we put in this team is more than just our money and time. It is an honest to God emotional investment. I have been lucky enough to be here from Day 1, but that doesn't make my investment any more special than someone who has just picked up the sport and team. All of us are unbelievably disappointed in how this year has turned out.

A few weeks ago when I came to the conclusion that we were missing the playoffs I started to think... how great would it be if we could someday win the Cup? That lead me to some deeper thoughts. Is the Stanley Cup really everything? Of course to us hockey folk it is the Holy Grail. But let's not lose site of something in our quest for said Grail. As in most things in life, once you obtain a great goal you look back on how you got there and realize what a special road you were on. You might not have known it at the time, but perhaps the goal you achieved was secondary to the Journey that brought you to the goal.

The Journey. That is what we are on my friends. Enjoy every step of the way. Some steps are forward. Some steps are backward. That is just how things work in this crazy world. Sure we have taken a step backward this year. Does that make me sad that I'm still on The Journey with all my friends? Absolutely not. I cherish every game I get to see, even the bad ones. Because I know one day we will get to that great goal. And when we get there I will be able to say that I realized how special this Journey really is. You even hear players talk about it after they win the Cup. They talk about the Journey they were on with their teammates. And how tough it was. And how they shared it together.

Hockey is one of my favorite things in all the world. It is where I am making most of my memories with all my friends. It is a sport that brings people together. All of us share a special bond. Let's not let the The Journey pass us by. I read comments from fans saying how the Thrashers suck and they won't come back until Waddell is gone and the team is better. You know the kind. They go on. And on. And on. I read their comments and just feel sorry for them. Because I can see that they just don't get it. They don't care about or even notice The Journey. They just want to root for a winner and have everything come easy to them. Let me tell you something folks... if everything comes easy to you and you don't have to work for it, it really doesn't mean all that much. The great things in life are accomplished only after much hard work and some real tough times. One day the Thrashers will win the Stanley Cup. How awesome will that be! After the dust settles and we come down from our high of winning, we will look back on all the years.

And quite possibly, we will see that while winning the Cup was great, it maybe was not as important as the road that took us there...

The Journey.

Who Represents Finland Abroad? Kari Lehtonen and This Man, Of Course

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Alex Stubb, the new Finnish Foreign Minister. Please look at his website; the photo gallery is funniest thing I've seen since the last episode of Coach's Corner. And remember, this guy is actually the Foreign Minister of Finland...you have to wonder if Kari voted for his party.

UPDATE: It appears his website is down at the moment due to excessive traffic. Meaning a million other people realize just how hilarious this is. When the web hits calm down (after lunch hour, I reckon) PLEASE have a look.

Hockey, Politics

What it's all about:

Pre-Playoff Mental Health Break

I'd like to dedicate this one to the Edmonton Oilers and their number one fan, Grand Shooteur. Take a load off, fellas; calm your nerves and heal your hearts by watching this scene from a witty classic of olde Hollywood screwball comedy.

Long Live the Czar

Around whom do we rebuild our team? Around this man, of course.


Towards the end of the first half of the season, the Czar led the league in goals and points, it looked like the Thrashers, while shaky and erratic, still had a playoff chance, and the great man looked set to win the Rocket Richard Trophy, the Art Ross Trophy, and the Hart Memorial Thingy. How things have collapsed. Literally, in the case of the Czar: I'm sure none of you need me to remind you of this. I might be blowing this a bit out of proportion, but I think Ruutu's hit on Kovalchuk--dirty or not, beside the point--derailed most of his season. His injury was more serious than it looked: it stifled his skating for a run of several games (which somehow coincided with the losing streak that obliterated us), and he's started to recover only recently. Had he not been taken down by Ruutu, it would be Kovalchuk, and not Ovechkin, leading the league in goals and points and possibly willing his team into a playoff position. Even if the Caps don't make the playoffs, I think the point still stands.

All of which should tell you two things about the Czar: 1) to have his season hampered by an injury and still score 52 (and counting) goals, he has to be Really Fucking Good, and 2) the way he continues to play the way he does in each game, even with his injured knee, proves that Kovy is desperately committed to the team, and that he would do anything to help us win. Kovy has tied his own record (and the Thrashers' record) of goals, the amount he scored the year he won the Richard Trophy (along with Jarome Iginla and Rick Nash). Let's hope the Czar has a restful summer; we need that knee next season. He'll make his buddy Ovechkin look like, um, Ovechkin in a season where Kovalchuk scores more goals and leads his team to the Stanley Cup. Perhaps.

Check This Out...

Great game last night... I guess. Two horrible teams and the game wasn't even on the Center Ice package. Now that is saying something! Congrats to Kovy and Kari anyway!

Continuing our quest of making this blog a Sharks and Oilers friendly place, check out this great read on my beloved Oilers. HUGE game tonight against the Flames. Rexall will be rockin' for sure. If you have Center Ice, I can promise this is one you don't want to miss.
