Ok, not NHL, but hockey nonetheless (ECHL).

Anyone going to the Cyclones game tonight? They may just clinch the Kelly Cup! Yee-haw!
I lost a hockey loving friend this year. His two favorite teams? The Red Wings and the Cyclones.

Watch the puck take a couple funny bounces to help the Cyclones win just like what happened for the Red Wings last night.

Man, I really thought this was the year the Blackhawks turned it around.  Doesn't look like that's going to happen.  I know it's only three games and all, but they're playing like ass.  Can't score on a power play, can't score at all.

Well good job, rva. Obviously Tallon visits this site. Savard just got fired. I hope you're proud of yourself.

While the firing does seem to come at an odd time, I think Scotty has been bending Dave's ear for awhile now. When you add up the disappointing start, the failure of the powerplay (0 for 6 last night) and the failure to motivate talented players like Cam Barker who was sent to the minors despite being the Hawks 3rd most talented defenceman, this really isn't all THAT surprising. I wonder who Scotty is endorsing for a replacement? Quinneville maybe?

It reminds me a lot of the Reds situation with Jocketty and Krivsky.  Once they brought Quenneville on board, they were either looking to junk Savard or he was at least on a very short leash.

I guess they figure it was Savard's last year, so it was either time to extend him or junk him.  And if you're leaning towards Quenneville, might as well fire him now-- especially after an awful start.  Savard could win 2 or 3 games in a row and then it would be harder to fire him, so might as well pull the trigger now.

I don't know how much of this is Savard's fault.  I didn't think he did too badly considering the talent he had for most of his tenure.  But it's also kind of tough to see what he had in his favor, other than being a Blackhawks icon as a player.  I feel kind of bad for the guy, but I mean, if you've lost confidence in him or don't like him, it's better to fire him now than leave him hanging as a lame duck coach for the rest of the season.

I'm really enjoying this hockey season.  Partly because I'm a Caps and Blackhawks fan and it's good to see those teams doing well.  But even objectively, they're fun teams to root for.  And even though I hate the Pens, it's fun to hate them.  They're a good team.  How can you not like the Ovechkin/Crosby rivalry?

About the only minor complaint I have is that hockey is the one sport where I root for the DC team more than the Chicago team, so I kind of wish the Caps had won.  But I guess it's good that I'm not stuck with the possibility of a Caps/Blackhawks series.

I'm a pretty happy Pens fan right now  :)

Although I don't think NBC should determine when they play  :/

I have a bad feeling you'll be a VERY happy Pens fan next week. It hasn't been a very good year for my teams in championship games. Miami vs. Boston U. & Cornell vs. Syracuse both ended very poorly for me. And I have a bad feeling about my Wings now that they have so many injuries.

The NBC thing is moronic.

Seriously, this is horse shit. NBC demands they do back to back games last weekend, then don't even cover their games during the week, and now I can't watch it because I don't have cable. Not even on AM radio out here

I hope he'll be a happy Pens fan, because that'll mean I'm a happy Wings anti-fan.

Don't forget Missing Links vs. South Stars...  :P

Hmmm, seems to me there should be a very happy fan in Richmond today. I'm still debating in my head if the Hossa or the Knuble signing is the more significant one to their respective teams.

Hossa. Just because I don't want it to be the Knuble signing.
