What a shitty Wednesday. Arrived an hour early for a football game I was covering. The team I cover lost making kids and grown men cry. I had to drive to freaking Iowa to get WiFi and, oh, I got pulled over for doing 35 in a 30 -- even though I though the speed limit was 45. Then the WiFi wouldn't work. Sigh. You know what can make things better? Blues hockey. Blues news Here's a preview for tonight's...

Dane Byers has been suspended and John Tortorella fined coming out of Byers' fight late in the Rangers' 4-1 loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. The penalties are automatic - per NHL rules, when a player receives an instigator penalty in the last five minutes of regulation or at any time in OT, it's a one-game ban for the player and $10,000 out of the coach's pocket. So with Byers out for tomorrow's game...

In the salary capped NHL one must be careful when rebuilding a team. It is important to do it while avoiding the long and often unnecessary process of blowing up everything and spending years out of contention. Most teams are not in such bad shape that blowing everything up is a defenceable move. The Vancouver Canucks have a top level goaltender in Roberto Luongo and a pretty good group of forwards...

from Darren Eliot of Sports Illustrated, Heading into the final week, Kings veteran Sean O’Donnell had yet to light the lamp in 78 games; Shane O’Brien of the Canucks remained goalless in 74 contests, and the Sharks’ Doug Murray hadn’t set off the siren in his 72 games-played. In fairness, all three are plus players and have been solid contributors on their respective bluelines,...

I guess there’s just something about players scoring on their own goals this season. First we had Ryan O’Byrne light the lamp for the first time all season … on his own net. What Shane O’Brien did for the Canucks definitely one-ups that performance. Vancouver had pulled its goalie to get an [...]

Yeah. That goal by Viktor Tikhonov, or Shane O'Brien, or whoever you want to credit it to pretty much summed up the game for the Canucks. A combination of the Coyotes actually playing a decent game and the Canucks just looking lost out there made thi...
