As a great band once said, TONIGHT I'M
GONNA ROCK YOU TONIGHT ! It's time to drop
the puck on the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and that means it's time to Rawk the Puck. Here are the Western Conference Quarterfinal matchups. I've linked a YouTube clip to ...

First off, don't forget to vote in the
Rawk the Puck final ! It's today's indie rock
vs. yesterday's modern rock in a battle for, um, elusive bragging rights. Thanks to my FoxSports.com gig, I'll be following up my post-playoff analysis of the Sharks ...

I've often wondered why the NHLPA doesn't do
more to actually protect the physical health constituency. Sure,
they do things like try to drive up salaries and pensions and stuff like that, but what about actual on-ice health concerns? Visors, dirty ...

Is Kevin Lowe a jerk, an idiot, or
just collapsing under the weight of the chip on
his shoulder? First the ridiculous Tomas Vanek offer sheet -- cause, obviously, anyone with ONE good season can't possibly regress over the course of his career -- and ...

It looks my eulogy for Jeremy Roenick's career
was premature. If you read that or if you've
been a longtime reader of this blog, you'll know that JR was my favorite player for a long, long time, and it's always been kind of a twisted dream of mine to ...

A long time ago (about, oh 15 years)
in a galaxy far, far away (Chicago Stadium), the
Chicago Blackhawks were considered one of the NHL's best franchises. From the early-to-mid 90's, going into Chicago meant a unique mix of speed, grit, and skill, led ...

(Some language here ain't age appropriate. Parents, cover
your kids' eyes and ears.) Dear Crazy Woman Who
Sits Somewhere Behind Me At Sharks Games: Look, I try to appreciate everyone who's passionate about our game and our team. In a crowded sports ...

Well, Rawk the Puck certainly isn't accurate in
predicting Stanley Cup playoff winners, but one thing's for
sure -- you can't stop Spinal Tap and people are scared into voting for GWAR. This round, Tap and GWAR are sitting on the sidelines; the ...

Apparently, this is the conversation that took place
right before McLennan started hacking away. Hey, at least
he's got the league's interests at heart. Jamie, you can use this blog post as evidence as you plead your case to Colin Campbell.

My Fox Sports article based on this transcript
should be up sometime Monday morning. In the meantime,
here's the full transcript of my 20+ minute interview the Sharks GM Doug Wilson based on questions from readers. I'll say this -- Doug has a ...

Wow. Just wow. You know, I think Chris
Simon must really, really hate Gary Bettman. Simon must
really want to make Bettman look stupid and helpless. Why else would he go bonkers and do a two-handed chop worthy of Braveheart on the three-year...

If any of you were listening to XM's
Home Ice channel over the past 30 minutes, you
probably felt a sense of shock, outrage, and outright fear when they announced that shootouts were now in in the playoffs. Then, when you came to your computer and ...

(Note: This post was written prior to the
completion of the Saturday afternoon games. The standings reflect
this, so it's not totally accurate based on when you read it. Still, you get the idea.) I really, really, really can't stand the NHL's "lucky ...

If you've read this blog for a while,
then you may remember last season's Rawk the Puck!
extravaganza hosted by the Toronto Star's Chris Young. I'm organizing the festivities this season and we're looking for just a few more folks to contribute a ...

During last night's fantastic Ducks/Sharks game (you can
read the recap of my live Battle of California
liveblog here), Ron Wilson went on a hunch and called out Teemu Selanne 's illegal stick. Selanne, rather than just being an adult about the whole ...

It's the eve-eve-eve of the Stanley Cup playoffs
and that can only mean one thing -- it's
time to RAWK THE PUCK! Yes, it's the second installment of the annual hockey/music crossover that is really too convoluted and silly to fully describe, but I'm ...

I noticed this today on Yahoo's home page:
The NHL must be pleased -- people actually know
who one of their players is! He's more popular than Jon "Napoleon Dynamite" Heder, lazy hungry people ("Quick and Easy Dinner)", racist radio folks, and ...

Will he or won't he? For Sharks and
Predators, that's the burning question surrounding the return of
Jonathan Cheechoo -- though, obviously, for different reasons. Ron Wilson said that Cheechoo wanted to return to the overtime of game 1. Is that true? ...

Just a few months ago, there was some
discussion about what was happening with playoff OT --
namely, the fact that Gary Bettman and co. emphatically re-stated that nothing was going to change with overtime. Everyone agreed and everyone kept saying, ...
