Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-07-24


  • They haven't played a game there yet, but the Winnipeg Jets have already had more financial success than the Atlanta Thrashers. #NHL #
  • People overreacting to the new Jets logo. It's cool. My beef: why not the Avro Arrow outline? That would have been sick. #NHL #
  • Osgood has the numbers to be a hall of famer, but not sure if he'll be a first ballot inductee. Sad to see the helmet combo gone. #NHL #

  • Even though it's cool to have them back, it's still odd to see the name Winnipeg in transactions. #NHL #
  • The Heatley for Havlat trade might be fairly even talent wise, but the #Sharks save over $2M in cap space. #NHL #

  • If the #NHL goes back to four divisions, they'll also have to modify or drop playoff seeding. Top 3 from each division and 2 wild cards? #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-06-26


  • Another Sedin wins the Art Ross. So glad they're not triplets. #NHLAwards #
  • Some kid named Lidstrom wins the Norris. He could be good some day. #NHLAwards #
  • Jagr wanting to go to the Pens sounds like a man who wants to go out like Mark Recchi: with a Cup win. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-06-19


  • Game 7 earns best TV rating for NHL game since 1974 http://is.gd/xMWF0I #
  • #StanleyCup footnote: Mark Recchi was the only Bruin on the current roster that was alive when they last captured the Cup in 1972. #
  • Congratulations to the Boston Bruins on a hard fought, deserved Cup. Tim Thomas was stellar and is rightfully among Conn Smythe winners. #
  • Don't worry Bruins fans, the Canuck fans are booing Bettman. #
  • All series, Vancouver has continually made poor shooting decisions…either when nobody's in front, or into several Boston defenders. #
  • It's 1994 all over again. Then, it was Mark Messier. Now it's Mark Recchi. #
  • There's little chance the Canucks score 3+ goals on Thomas. Marchand is making a strong case for the Conn Smythe. #
  • Insta-stat: no team has ever won three game sevens in one playoffs. #
  • Posting to Twitter… #
  • First period the most important tonight. If Boston leads after one, they win. If Canucks lead or are tied after one, they win. #StanleyCup #
  • Stat of the day: the last time the home team won every game in the Stanley Cup final was 2003 when the Devils beat the Ducks #StanleyCup #
  • Hate to say this about a goalie, but Luongo likely cost his team this game. He was not ready, and the first three goals were stoppable. #
  • It defies logic that Vancouver hasn't had one bounce go their way in Boston. It's like they forget how to play. #
  • Hey Luongo: Thomas would have stopped that. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-06-12


  • If Canucks fans only chose, Lapierre might be Conn Smythe winner. Good thing they don't, as Bruins' Thomas has been best of the playoffs. #
  • Getting the sense that first goal wins. Power play goals will be critical, but hard to come by. #
  • Look for the power play opportunities to even out in the second. Canucks need to be more disciplined. Boston needs to control play. #
  • Sorry, Boston, but that's how a crowd sings a National Anthem. #StanleyCup #
  • Canucks need to be the team that eliminated Chicago and San Jose and Luongo needs to be Gold Medal Luongo or they will go down 3-2. #
  • Tim Thomas is a man possessed. He's allowed Boston to concentrate on their attack, while frustrating the Canucks. Where did Kesler go? #
  • In acquiring the rights to a battle-tested Bryzgalov, the Flyers may have stopped their goalie-go-round. #NHL #
  • Vigneault should have pulled Luongo at 5-0. He better hope that his star goalie's confidence isn't shot for game four. #StanleyCup #
  • I get that Burrows bit Bergeron, but the finger taunting is getting close to unsportsmanlike conduct. #
  • Third period starts and Vancouver looks like they just want the game to end. #
  • Wow. Bruins now have their own 11 second goal. #
  • Since the five minute major, the Bruins have relied on Thomas to keep them in this game. They need to keep pressure on the Canucks. #

  • Burrows makes the most out of his non-suspension, figuring in all three Canuck goals (2G, 1A). NHL discipline with egg on its face again. #
  • What was Thomas doing on that goal? Canucks in a geat spot up 2-0 now. Burrows the first star of this one. #StanleyCup #
  • Despite last second heroics from Torres, Canucks still need to blow out Thomas. He has a career 0.50 GAA against them. #StanleyCup #
  • Winnipeg sells over 4,000 season tickets in 24 hours. Tomorrow, sales open for everyone so expect all 13,000 to be sold by Monday. #NHL #
  • Vancouver Canucks' Alex Burrows not suspended for biting Patrice Bergeron: http://is.gd/BylZ6f #StanleyCup #
  • Oiler Brule gave lift to hitchhiking Bono: http://is.gd/oaIVhm #NHL #
  • Luongo, Thomas put on a show in game one. For anyone who still thinks 1-0 games are boring, you weren't paying attention. #StanleyCup #
  • Through three and two thirds career games, Tim Thomas has only allowed one goal to the Canucks. #StanleyCup #
  • Canucks with some huge chances early, while Bruins failing on the power play so far. #StanleyCup #
  • Ironically, it could be American Kesler that ultimately helps bring the Cup back to Canada. #StanleyCup #
  • Stats of the day: Canucks – 3-0 in game one this playoffs. Bruins – 1-2. Luongo: 8-1 in game one. Thomas: 3-0 (2 SO) against Canucks. #
  • Cup Final: Bruins need their PP to get going, and can't rely on Thomas alone. Canucks need fewer penalties and more shots. Canucks in 6. #
  • True North succeeded where Jim Balsillie failed for two reasons: They worked with the NHL and they had a solid multiyear economic plan. #NHL #
  • Watching the True North Thrashers press conference, I somehow envisioned they'd be shouting 'We &@#$*& did it!'. #NHL #JetsReturn #
  • True North holding Noon et news conference on Thrashers: http://is.gd/HtvW7n #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-05-29


  • Potential new suitor for the Thrashers might throw a wrench into Winnipeg's dream. #NHL #
  • Considering how long Malhotra's been sidelined, he should wait and appear in the first Cup clinching game or if the Canucks really need him. #
  • Stat of the day: Nathan Horton has 8 goals this postseason, and Boston has won all 8 games he's scored in. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • The Lightning failed to get a puck deep, and never threatened the Bruins in the final minute. Boston moves on to face the Canucks. #
  • #Canucks win is eerily similar to 1994's conference final. Both games were decided in 2OT on May 24th. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • That stanchion will likely get its own parade in downtown Vancouver. #
  • Henrik Sedin wisely leaves the trophy on the table. #
  • Why is it that double overtime games end on weird goals? Canucks advance to their third finals while the Sharks break hearts once again. #
  • This is Luongo's game to lose. He's doing everything to keep the Canucks in it while the Sharks try desperately to stay alive. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Insta-stat: the #Sharks are 5-0 in overtime these playoffs. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Tim Thomas absolutely robs Steve Downie as the Bruins take a 3-2 series lead over the Lightning. #NHLPlayoffs http://bit.ly/khorHL #
  • Speculation abounds regarding #Lightning starter. It'll be Roloson, no question, but if he gets beat early: enter Smith. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • #Sharks implode in the second period, as the #Canucks score three times on four shots and take a stranglehold on the series. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Stat of the day: the #Canucks have never lost a series when reaching the conference finals (currently 2-0). #NHLPlayoffs #

  • Loyal #Sharks fans start using #failthewhale on Twitter against the #Canucks http://bit.ly/iPDiR6 #NHLPlayoffs #
  • If the MTS Centre sells out every home game in Winnipeg, they'd be 23rd in attendance…2K more than the #Thrashers had this year. #NHL #
  • If/when the #Thrashers move to Winnipeg, the alignment that makes the most sense is Winnipeg to NW, Minnesota to Central and Nashville to SE #
  • Statement game by the Canucks in a 7-3 pasting of the Sharks. Vancouver's playing like Cup champs, while San Jose has lost 5 of 6. #NHL #
  • Whoever wins tonight's #Sharks – #Canucks game will win the series. Game two for these teams is the most pivotal. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • If the #Thrashers move to Winnipeg, either the #Predators or #BlueJackets move to the East in realignment…not Detroit. #NHL #
  • Tyler Seguin breaks out in a big way (2 G, 2 A) and the #Bruins hold off a wild comeback by the #Lightning to even the series. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Read a lot of debate, but I'll say this: The #Lightning #039;s Sean Bergenheim is this year's Johan Franzen. #NHLPlayoffs #

  • Shocking news that the Boogeyman is dead. Thoughts and prayers to Derek Boogaard's family. 28 is too young. #NHL #
  • Eastern Final: #Lightning playing like their Cup win but there's no quit in this #Bruins team. A toss up, but Boston in 7. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Western Final: call me a sucker, but this is the year the #Sharks make it to the Cup final. San Jose in 6 over the #Canucks #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Marleau shakes off criticism, and scores the eventual game winner as the #Sharks defeat the #Wings in game seven. #NHLPlayoffs #
  • Stat of the day: The #Wings have never come back from an 0-3 hole, and the #Sharks have never blown a 3-0 lead. #NHLPlayoffs #SJSDet #
  • With the city of Glendale ponying up another $25M to cover losses, one has to wonder: Will any owner make money with the #Coyotes #NHL #
  • In a series where the games could have gone either way, the #Wings are now getting the bounces instead of the #Sharks #NHLPlayoffs #SJSDet #
