I was reading a post at the temporary home of Put It On Ice today about the potential rule changes the NHL is trying out before the season starts and I decided that I wanted to share my contempt and consideration of the proposals put forward. The first two of four sessions are taking place today, and you can read more about what is being explored today over at Put It On Ice.
The Chicago Blackhawks stormed through the 2009-10 NHL postseason, taking no prisoners and rightly proclaiming Lord Stanley’s Cup as their trophy. Then they went out and had to clean house, losing nearly half of the team that got them the championship. Nobody can blame the ‘Hawks for essentially buying themselves a cup. They did what they needed to have a team that could compete.
Well, kids, it’s all over. The Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup in Game 6 vs. the Philadelphia Flyers.
Not that the dust has settled from the Chicago Blackhawks sweep of one of my (new) least favorite teams in the NHL, I feel that I can share the t-shirt concept we had lovingly created for the San Jose Sharks series against the Colorado Avalanche.
While the Colorado Avalanche greatly improved over a dismal season last year, shattering expectations left and right and arguably putting up more of a fight than the Detroit Red Wings against the San Jose Sharks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Avalanche were bogged down throughout the regular and post-season by their defensive situation.
While fans of the Colorado Avalanche may have expected this for a while, Avalanche Head Coach Joe Sacco was announced as a finalist for the Coach of the Year (Jack Adams Award) by the NHL today.
The Colorado Avalanche, also known as the underdogs, have been giving the San Jose Sharks a run for their money. The Avs have had to transition their game to nearly 100% defense to shut down the Sharks top two lines and they’ve been doing a good job of it. Unfortunately tonight in the Shark Tank, they were never once called for too many men on the ice. The Sharks had 9 total on ice at all times, not including Evgeni Nabokov, and four of them were wearing black and white stripes.
