How is your hockey team doing?

hockeyfan9 · February 4, 2013 8:40AM

Are they going to make the playoffs? I am a Red Wing fan and I'm a little nervous.

WTCG · February 4, 2013 8:44AM

Fair weather Sharks follower here. Right now they're 7-0-1, which doesn't really matter because regardless of how well they do in the regular season come playoff time they will find a way to choke some time in the first two rounds. Remember that time they faced off against the Wings, went up 3 games to 0 the lost the next 3 then finally won in OT in Game 7? That's them.

gosteelers · February 4, 2013 9:01AM

Flyers fan...3-6 so far. Not looking good, may need to be the year to sell off some vets for younger talent.

JoeBanzai · February 4, 2013 9:11AM

Wild fan. Looks like they aren't waiting around for players to produce. Their sure bet rookie Granlund and Devin Setoguchi who was supposed to be a goal scorer have both been demoted to the fourth line.

With the addition of Parise and Sutter they need to play better as a team. We have been waiting for some talent and results for a long time now!

Sabres fan. Fire Ruff.

DoubleEagle59 · February 4, 2013 9:57AM

I predict the Maple Leafs will win the Cup...............................................in the year 2044.

hockeyfan9 · February 4, 2013 11:39AM

WTCG: The Sharks are looking good. They have to go the 3rd round eventually. The last 48 game season was when the Wings finally busted through.
Ajaan: I couldn't agree more. I thought he would be gone after the ownership change. ( PS I love your dark side posts)
Joe: They made a trade with the rangers today too didn't they? Setoguchi was a Wing killer when he was on the Sharks. I was unhappy when Suter choose the wild over the Wings, but I guess your hometown still counts for something.
Gosteelers: I had a hard time thinking of something nice to say about the Flyers and I think I got it. At least your Logo and color scheme isn't a complete rip off of the Wings. ( Just Kidding)
It's tough to win without Pronger. He is a great player. I will never forget the time he block a shot in Detroit with his chest and his heart stopped. He is one tough SOB.
DoubleEagle: You just need Mike Palmateer to lace up the skates.

WhiteTornado · February 4, 2013 11:43AM

I'm a Caps fan and this is looking like a throwaway year while they get their feet wet under Adam Oates. The shortened season would seem to favor teams with established regimes.

JoeBanzai · February 4, 2013 12:04PM

Hockeyfan9,

I think Sutter and Parise are buddies and were looking to go to the same team if they could both get good money.
Yes made a trade for a center (didn't catch his name) for two of our young guys, Powe was one of them I think. Wild need someone who is good at faceoffs. The other night it seemed we lost every one.

GO WILD!

Many fans also thought he and Darcy would be gone with the ownership change. When Pegula announced he was keeping both of them you could almost here the who fandom saying "oh crap!", nothing's going to change.

Hallco · February 4, 2013 9:50PM

Ex-Thrasher fan now still following the Jets. Beat the Penguins and looked outstanding then lose to the Panthers and have lost 3 straight. I guess we will see how they do tonight against Florida again. Looks like Byfuglien wont play.

CNote · February 5, 2013 4:51AM

I believe my future hockey team is moving here from Phoenix soon, so I'm not quite paying attention.

markj111 · February 5, 2013 5:34AM

My hockey team has never lost a game, and never will.

57loaded · February 6, 2013 8:51AM

Well the Sharks suc& after getting me excited early...same old shi$ different day excuses from #19

jradke4 · February 6, 2013 10:47AM

The only Chicago team I root for is looking pretty good at present. Considering they have played nearly all of their games on the road so far they are cashing some nice checks at the present. Banking road wins in a short year is big. If they stay healthy they should be good. That is the only bad thing about a short season. Not as much time to get guys back.

alnavman · February 7, 2013 11:34PM

All we have here is the Lake Erie Monsters.....I think they are going to make the playoffs but to be honest I am not a big hockey fan.

al.

PowderedH2O · February 8, 2013 12:32AM

My Hurricanes are 5-4 on the young season. We are leading the league in shots per game. This is surprising, since we have been a non-scoring sloth for the last few years. We added Jordan Staal and Alex Semin to the lineup, so that is helping a lot. Right now, we are on the playoff bubble. Considering we've been on the outside looking in for three straight years, I am cautiously optimistic that we might see the postseason again this year.

vladguerrero · February 8, 2013 12:40AM

Senators are 6-3-2 so very nice start, also a closet Isles fan 4-5-1 so not bad considering.

WTCG · February 8, 2013 6:01PM

<< Well the Sharks suc& after getting me excited early...same old shi$ different day excuses from #19 >>

Rather have them suck now than saving it for the first round of the playoffs.

hockeyfan9 · February 8, 2013 10:37PM

I don't know how you guys with a 7-2-1 record in the first 10 sucks? Maybe because the Sharks have never won anything?

Exodus · February 8, 2013 11:41PM

callsandputs · February 9, 2013 6:19AM

My team- the defending champion Kings- are off to a lousy start. They are dead last in the Pacific. Oh well.

DoubleEagle59 · February 9, 2013 6:56AM

<< My team- the defending champion Kings- are off to a lousy start. They are dead last in the Pacific. Oh well. >>

All they need to do is finish in eighth place

Will Trade:

Phoenix Coyotes for Seattle's Russel Wilson. Seattle can have the whole Coyotes organization for Russell. Hockey should not exist south of the bottom of Nebraska any way.

I do hear 'ya. I read they are the "Susan Lucci" of the NHL.

At least they play golf pretty well in the off-season.

Justacommeman · February 10, 2013 12:02PM

My Wings just played two games in 24 hours and three in four days and survived to win all three. I feel better then I did last week. We are a WIP this season. I have a feeling that 12-14 playoff spots will be up for grabs right up to the last 4 or 5 games of the season. We will sweat to keep the longest playoff streak in sports alive. MJ

Hawks

illinifan912 · February 10, 2013 1:44PM

hawks and wolves are rolling, can't complain

ajaan · February 11, 2013 10:30AM

Sabres still suck, Ruff still coach.

Exodus · February 13, 2013 7:54AM

Sabres don't have team speed, but it was interesting to see the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators recently take
absolutely ZERO liberties with any of your players.
I guess having Scott on your team will at least not let any of your small guys (or goalie) get hammered this year.

ajaan · February 13, 2013 10:11AM

<< I guess having Scott on your team will at least not let any of your small guys (or goalie) get hammered this year. >>

Very true especially when you add Ott to the equation. A player who actually gets some good ice time.

ajaan · February 20, 2013 5:43AM

Reports are the Sabres fired Ruff.

hockeyfan9 · February 20, 2013 11:04AM

Congrats Ajaan! It can only get better!

gosteelers · February 20, 2013 11:35AM

Ruff had a nice run, but it seemed like it was time to go...

Go Flyers!!!

WhiteTornado · February 21, 2013 12:23AM

Caps had a bit of success before losing to the Rangers 2-1. At least Holtby is playing better in goal. He is young, and prolly has more upside than Neuvirth (some fans call him Ner-vous LOL). They really need some roster moves to build the type of team Adam Oates needs. Ovie is not going anywhere, so try to build around him at least. They have too many holdover players from the last two coaching regimes. Jeff Shultz #55 definitely needs to hit the door.

Exodus · March 1, 2013 7:33PM

Exodus · March 3, 2013 6:42AM

Blackhawks escape Detroit with a late minute tie on the power play, and then Kane wins it in the shootout.
Corey Crawford saved the day for us.

JoeBanzai · March 4, 2013 3:57AM

Better watch out Exodus, you're playing the Wild Tuesday. Minnesota is playing well!

It's not as easy to hate this group of Blackhawks. You guys are having a magical year.

Joe

hockeyfan9 · March 4, 2013 10:14AM

Exodus, now you have to worry about that 1st round let down! Congrats on betting my wings Sunday. Definitely a painful finish for me!

Exodus · March 6, 2013 6:38PM

Another close one against Colorado.
There have been some exciting games in this streak.
Hossa didn't play, and Sharp left the game hurt.

hockeyfan9 · March 8, 2013 9:11AM

Let's Go Redwings!!!

Exodus · March 9, 2013 12:41AM

Well, we took it on the chin against a good, young Avalanche team.

Exodus · March 11, 2013 6:56AM

Lost two in a row. Will we go for three ?

JoeBanzai · March 11, 2013 2:57PM

Wild are playing well, despite coming up short against the Blackhawks, and are now in first place in their division.

Looks like the scoring is picking up, even though Granlund has not impressed, Zucker has looked good!

GO WILD!

Joe

After last night's game the Sharks scheduled tee times for May.

The Sabres have had theirs since the 2nd week of the season.

The Leafs are next to tee off.

robert67 · March 18, 2013 10:53PM

My Predators suck right now. Very hard team to watch this season.

Even Pekka Rinne is struggling. We really need a scoring forward. I'm not sure the 8th seed is even realistic this year.

drwstr123 · March 27, 2013 7:14AM

You've got that right. They just signed Anthony Stolarz, Goalie. Anthony played fro our High School team (Jaguars) and is awesome.

Wild 9-1 in last ten games.

Go Wild!
