Two Marty’s and their behavior and Oilers Need for a Change

Here are few more NHL notes that I didn’t get to add to my last post, enjoy!

Marty Brodeur and Marty St Louis have shown their dismal side in their old hockey age. These players wanted to be traded at the deadline, one got his wish, the other didn’t. The one who got his wish was Marty St Louis and was traded to the New York Rangers while, Brodeur didn’t get his wish and was not traded.

Habs beat Leafs: Fans Shouldn’t just Blame Reimer

Well that was a close one wasn’t it? 4-3 Win for the Montreal Canadiens over the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was a good game a lot of back and forth action, weird lack of penalties and some weird goals especially the Tomas Plekanec game winning goal that managed to squeak by James Reimer, but this isn’t an analysis of this game, there are enough people out there who can do that, what I’m talking about is what I noticed after the game ended.

Three Hockey Topics

Jets

I like the Winnipeg Jets story; they got their team back, a team that should have never left. However the Cinderella story ended after the first two seasons and it was time for the Jets to win more games and make the playoffs.

Nedved Making the Czech Team is Pretty Cool

Can we for one-minute stop talking about the Canadian Olympic team selection for one moment; forget about who made it and who didn’t. Can we forget about the fact that Kunitz and Jay Bo made the team over Giroux, Boyle and St. Louis? Lets just stop thinking about Canada for one second and remember that one hilarious, and yet very cool thing has happened to another Olympic team.

5 Notes about the NHL Teams

Same as the last blog a few notes on 5 NHL related topics enjoy!

Carolina Hurricanes: The Hurricanes are starting to make some noise this season. The Canes in the last 10 games are 5-3-2 and are slowly climbing the standings. The biggest factor for this team has been the emergence of Eric Staal who has 7 points in the last 5 games.

A View on Six NHL Teams

Is it time for another hockey blog? I think so, below I made a few comments about some of the teams in the NHL check and see if your team made the list and enjoy!

Phoenix Coyotes: Isn’t it nice that we don’t hear the word Phoenix anymore, or at all? Currently fifth in the Western conference the Coyotes are flying under the radar with a 14-4-3 record, that’s good enough for first place in the Eastern conference! Too bad the Yotes are in the West; another amazing thing is they are 9-0-1 at home, which is incredible, unfortunately they are only averaging over 12 000 fans, but the best part about all of this.

Saku Koivu and Some Memories

The other night the Anaheim Ducks came to Montreal to face the Canadiens, it was an exciting game where the home team won it 4-1 in front of their fans. Winning is always a good thing in Montreal, but this night was extra special it was the return of the Canadiens former Captain, Saku Koivu. It was Koivus first game in Montreal since 2011 when the Ducks beat the Habs 4-3.        

Laviolette is Out, Is Holmgren Next?

So Peter Laviolette has been fired by the Philadelphia Flyers after an 0-3 start you say? Its about time too, maybe the Flyers owner should throw in their GM, I know it sounds harsh, but both of them haven’t helped the team ever since they lost the Cup to the Chicago Blackhawks in 2012. The Flyers would make the playoffs twice the next two years after losing the Cup and they were still considered to contenders, but bad decision-making and a bad injury, or two led to the teams demise.

CBA Puts Some In a Unique Situation

Hockey, the beloved national sport of Canadians everywhere; The NHL, a league that’s gone through so many lockouts in a 10 year span, its surprising there isn’t a brand new league because of all the crap the fans, players, owners and everyone else has gone through. Remember the strike that just past? I know a lot of you wish you could forget it but it caused the NHL to lose half of the season. The big issue was money and how they would split the revenue. There were other issues on the table of negotiation but a huge problem was sharing the money. The players and the owners went back and forth for a while with no progress and it seemed like the season was lost, and then out of nowhere the two sides came to an agreement and hockey was back!
