Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-06-13


  • Anybody else feel like that winning goal sucked? It feels like such a non-moment. Congrats #Hawks. #StanleyCup #
  • Have to admit I thought this #StanleyCup matchup would have lower ratings, but it appears the #NHL is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. #
  • Line combination shake up pays off big for #Hawks. Rough night for #Pronger…a -5 for the game, and rocked by #Byfuglien. #StanleyCup #
  • Conn Smythe watch: I think it's going to be #Leino for the #Flyers or #Sharp for the #Hawks. Odds are for Sharp. #StanleyCup #NHL #
  • The importance of game five: 70% of teams that win this game win the Cup. The #Penguins last year were in the 30% category. #NHL #

  • #Keith needs to be better if the #Hawks are going to right the ship. He was awful in game four, especially on the empty-netter. #NHL #
  • #Hawks rattled by near-OT goal, which leads to defensive breakdown on #Giroux's actual winner for the #Flyers. Series now 2-1 Hawks. #NHL #

  • Should the #Flyers go back to #Leighton or stick with #Boucher for game two? Discuss. I think Leighton wasn't up for Finals pressure. #NHL #
  • Even though #Boucher is available, the #Flyers would be wise to stay with #Leighton unless he gets lit up by the #Hawks. #NHL #
  • Cup Finals: #Hawks come in as the favorites, but the #Flyers aren't pushovers. Can Pronger shut down Kane and Toews? #Hawks in six. #NHL #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-23


  • I know it's cliché, but biggest game four of the playoffs for the #Canadiens today. Not sure if they have another comeback in them. #NHL #
  • If the #Hawks sweep, they'd better heed what happened to the #Sharks after a lengthy time off. Sharks need their top stars to wake up. #NHL #
  • Importance of the first goal: #Canadiens are 7-2 when scoring first in the playoffs but only 1-6 when they don't. #NHL #
  • Of the teams remaining, only the #Sharks do not have their goalie in Conn Smythe race. Leighton, Niemi and Halak all lead their teams. #NHL #
  • The #Canadiens better remember how to play a team game or this is over in four. #Halak looks defeated right now. #Flyers are impressive. #
  • This was not the same #Habs that defeated the #Caps and #Pens. They were slow, lacked a backcheck and were confused. Game 1: #Flyers. #NHL #
  • #Sharks vs #Hawks is going to come down to one thing: can #Niemi make enough big saves to keep his team in it? #NHL #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-16


  • History is split for the #Flyers Cup chances. The 1942 #Leafs won the Cup, and the 1975 #Islanders almost came back twice from 0-3. #NHL #
  • Eastern Final: #Canadiens are giant killers, #Flyers are writing history. Which 'team of destiny' will still stand? #Habs in six. #NHL #
  • Western Final: the #Sharks are one step away, but the #Hawks have their own demons to slay. Both want the SCF. #Sharks in seven. #NHL #
  • How is it that the same franchise can be burned the same way like the #Bruins? It's 1979 all over again! Cherry should send Julien a gift. #
  • #Flyers become the third team in NHL history to come back from a 3-0 deficit and win game seven 4-3…oddly coming back from a
    3-0 score too #
  • #Gonchar going to play at the Worlds for Russia. Guess they ran out of pylons over there or something. #NHL #
  • That's such an odd thought: the West has #1 Sharks vs #2 Hawks. The East could be the #7 Flyers vs #8 Canadiens. #NHL #
  • #Bruins finally get one past #Leighton, but #Flyers are on the cusp of history. They are the sixth team to force game seven after 3-0 hole #
  • #Canadiens are now my favourite to win the Eastern conference. They are playing cohesive hockey, and #Halak is insane. #NHL #
  • Another ineresting stat: No team has ever come back from a four goal deficit in a game seven and won. #NHL #
  • #Fleury just got chased on a bad goal. That was a complete team breakdown. Can #Johnson spark te #Pens? #NHL #
  • #Halak is such an enigma because he always seems to take a long time getting up or reacting when the puck goes behind the net. #NHL #
  • Heard some #Penguins fans saying their team still had another gear, but it's been the #Canadiens that have accelerated their game. #NHL #
  • Interesting fact: the team that scores first in a game seven wins 73% of time. #NHL #
  • #Penguins need to calm down after a very bad opening minute. 1-0 #Canadiens on #Gionta's powerplay goal. #NHL #
  • When the #Canucks implode, it's usually in spectacular fashon. Wow. They handed the series to the #Hawks on a platter. #NHL #
  • #Leighton steps in and finishes the shutout after #Boucher goes down with a knee injury as the #Flyers inch closer with a 4-0 win. #NHL #
  • #Cammalleri and #Halak carry the #Canadiens to another game seven showdown. Is another upset upon us? #NHL #
  • Don Cherry may be loud and obnoxious, but I agree that #Luongo nor any goalie should be captain of their team. We're just different. #NHL #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-05-09


  • #Thornton steps up big in an important game for the #Sharks, as they eliminate the #Wings. #Nabokov and #Howard were stellar in goal. #NHL #
  • #Canucks had a major meltdown tonight, and it very well may have cost them their playoff run. #Hawks looking pretty impressive. #NHL #
  • Today on As The Coyotes Turn: Reinsdorf bails, Ice Edge is on thin ice, and the team may actually go back to Winnipeg. Heckuva job Bettman #
  • With all the missed calls in the playoffs, one has to wonder why they have two refs on the ice. Can Paul Stewart make a comeback? #NHL #
  • The #Sharks may have laid an egg, but history is definitely on their side. At least #Wings fans saw one last good game from their team #NHL #
  • Been quiet about the refs in the playoffs, but game four between the #Habs and #Pens has been atrocious, and it's still in the first! #NHL #
  • Great article on #Sharks coach Todd McLellan and his fingerprints are all over the change in attitude. #NHL http://tinyurl.com/346pkwm #
  • While I can appreciate the #Hawks trying to get to #Luongo, the refs are letting too much goalie interference go. #NHL #
  • If forced to pick right now, my choice would be a #Sharks-#Bruins final. Both have peaked at the right time and are rolling along. #NHL #
  • The #Sharks are riding high because of the 'other' Joe. This team has a much different playoff vibe, and everyone should take notice. #NHL #
  • If #Crosby is going to get covered so well by the #Canadiens, #Malkin needs to step up and not have a series of game twos. #NHL #

  • If the #Wings are going to beat the #Sharks, Howard needs better rebound control or it might be a busy series for him. #NHL #
  • #Canucks vs #Hawks: a rematch of last year. The #Sedins are better, while the Hawks are relying on #Niemi. Vancouver in six. #NHL #
  • #Sharks vs #Wings: another meeting. #Pavelski wants to change things, but #Datsyuk and company won't go easy. San Jose in seven. #NHL #
  • #Bruins vs #Flyers: how much will #Savard add to Boston? Can #Boucher and #Richards keep the magic going for Philly? Bruins in six. #NHL #
  • #Penguins vs #Canadiens: Can the Habs do to #Crosby what they did to #Ovechkin, and does #Halak have anything left? Pens in six. #NHL #
  • #Halak and #Moore are now entrenched into the #Canadiens lore. 131 saves in 134 shots by Halak in the last three games is incredible! #NHL #
  • It's put up or shut up time for #Ovechkin. Should #Halak and the #Canadiens pull off this upset, there will be questions and doubts. #NHL #
  • Hate to say this about the #Wings, but great teams find a way to elevate. Great job by the #Coyotes to force game seven. Wings look scary. #
  • So far in the first round, my impressive players have been Crosby, Halak, Niemi, Pavelski, Rask. And why did the Leafs trade off Stempniak? #

  • #Devils are paying for not having a future starting goalie. Brodeur's still good, but he can't handle 70+ starts *and* the playoffs. #NHL #
  • Ryan Miller looked terrible on the Satan 2OT winner. I think his jockstrap is still on the ice. #NHL #
  • #Pavelski might have just saved the #Sharks season. A best of three favors them over the #Avalanche. #NHL #
  • The #Hawks are a lost team right now, and they don't have much time to get their mojo back. The #Hossa taint? #NHL #
  • Craig Anderson's 51 save shutout has me thinking he's been channeling another former Hawks castoff who went on to greatness: Hasek. #NHL #
  • As much as I love both #Brodeur and #Miller, the Vezina this year has to go to #Bryzgalov. #NHL #

  • The last six minutes of the third period between the #Kings and #Canucks in game two was the most action-packed so far this playoffs. #NHL #
  • The Penguins may have just won game two, but MAF needs to be be less shaky if they want to repeat. #NHL #
  • First round predicted winners: Pens in 6, Devils in 6, Sabres in 5, Caps in 5, Avalanche in 7, Hawks in 5, Coyotes in 6, Canucks in 5 #NHL #
  • Opening matchups to watch: Devils-Flyers, Sharks-Avalanche and Coyotes-Red Wings. Give me the Devils, Avalanche and Yotes in these. #NHL #

  • So it comes down to the Flyers-Rangers game tomorrow. Loser goes home. Can't get better than that. #NHL #
  • Best potential opening round matchups: Devils vs Flyers and Blackhawks vs Red Wings. #NHL #
  • Matt Duchene's shootout winner just put the #Avalanche in the playoffs. The West is set except for seeding. #NHL #
  • Martin Brodeur's 600th career win eliminates the #Thrashers from the playoff chase. And it was a shutout. Surprise. #NHL #
