This is the NHL thread. Where we talk about the mighty Pacific division and it's mightiest team.. the San Jose Sharks.

And I guess the rest of the league as well.

Here are some standings because you're being cry babies. Updated as of 3/18/11

    Sharks?? I liked it earlier in the season when both San Jose and Chicago were struggling. Now they both have the audacity to actually play good.


    Also, raise your hand if you knew about this rule Re:Overtime, from Kevin Allen via Puck Daddy
    So for teams that need to avoid the shootout for the sake of tie-breakers, how radical will they get? Like, for example, pulling their goalie in overtime? Allen writes that's a no-go:
    Kevin Allen wrote:
    It is possible that a team might pull its goalie for an extra attacker during a tie game to avoid a shootout, although there is risk involved in doing that in overtime because according to Rule 84.2, if a team is scored upon, it forfeits its guaranteed point.

    So I'm sure some of you (maple suckers) would complain that it's still a fantastic deal but somebody has started screwing with the secondary ticket market for the Jackets. For the game this Friday against the Kings, upper-deck corner seats are going for about $90 with back-row, center-ice, upper deck tickets going for over $130. It's pretty fucked up since some of you might remember the weekday game where I managed to get 3 tickets in the upper-deck for $20 total. Even normally for big games these tickets for maybe $30-$40.

    look at the prices for the kings game on friday and the prices for the sabres game at the end of the season. i didn't mean to imply every game was having prices rigged, but there are plenty and the prices are skyrocketing.

    Either Khabibulin doesn't trust our defensemen anymore or he's just gone completely off the chart in total apathy/hockey IQ.

    I'm leaning towards the former.

    So apparently Pacioretty is rather upset at the lack of suspension for Chara:

    http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=357316

    "I heard (Chara) said he didn't mean to do it. I felt he did mean to do it. I would feel better if he said he made a mistake and that he was sorry for doing that, I could forgive that, but I guess he's talking about how I jumped up or something."

    "I believe he was trying to guide my head into the turnbuckle. We all know where the turnbuckle is. It wasn't a head shot like a lot of head shots we see but I do feel he targeted my head into the turnbuckle."

    I wonder if he actually remembers the hit, or is basing this on the video?

    also, look at how much higher the bottom prices start than all the other games. and it's not like they're in demand right now, the secondary ticket prices are all HIGHER than the plentiful first-hand prices.

    And that is a pretty sweet OP now. I even appreciate the shark territory image. But I call next thread, are we clear.

    Re: ticket prices. You haven't seen anything until you've forked out $65 before taxes and fees for the cheapest seats :(

    edit: Look at this comment on Puck Daddy. Upon reading this I'm immediately more bothered by the lack of suspension for Chara.
    Welcome to the NHL where you can call someone's girl sloppy seconds and be suspended for 6 games but not have to worry about facing disciplinary action for breaking a dude's neck.

    Can't really blame Air Canada.

    I've seen the comment you got from PuckDaddy floating around the internet today. I think there's a degree of truth to it, but it's also comparing apples to oranges. Chara should have gotten at bare minimun at least a 1 game suspension, but at least compare it to other health and safety situations, not personal conduct situations.

    For the OP, this twitter feed gets Bob Mackenzie, Daren Dreger and all the other TSN hockey tweets:

    https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/lists/hockey

    Also, I think Chara should have been given at least a game, whether it was intentional or not, simply to try to defuse the situation a little.

    For christ's sake, it happened on the seven year anniversary of the Steve Moore-Bertuzzi incident, which probably would not have happened had Moore been disciplined for a questionably dirty hit on Naslund in an early Avs/Canucks game. The league has apparently learned nothing about how to defuse these situations. The players are less likely to take matters into their own hands if they think the league is doing its job.
