Brian Campell: One Fluid Beautiful Motion
IllegalCurve.com —
Brian Campbell scores his first goal as a Shark. Putting this beauty past Carey Price. This move is really no surprise he has done this many times as a Buffalo Sabre in the defensive end to evade forecheckers. He brings his great skating ability to the offensive end and makes The Canadiens look silly. ...

Deadspin —
The NHL Closer is written by Greg Wyshynski, of FanHouse and The Fourth Period. He is also the author of Glow Pucks And 10-Cent Beer.
Ass-whupping would be putting it kindly. The Washington Capitals scored six goals in the first period last night -- including an Alexander Ovechkin hat-trick that gave him 52 on the season -- in a 10-2 obliteration of the previously streaking Boston Bruins. But here's the real news: The Capitals run a promotion with a restaurant called Austin Grill in which every fan in attendance at a home game where the team scores six or more goals wins a free one-pound order of ...

Sharkspage San Jose Sharks NHL hockey and local sports blog —
San Jose Sharks defenseman Brian Campbell spoke with reporters in the locker room after a 6-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens in his first home game at HP Pavilion.

Campbell also mentioned a missed opportunity shooting the puck directly into the goaltender's body on a 5-on-3 power play.
Canadiens goaltender Carey Price discussed Campbell's spin-o-rama, being run over by Sharks captain Patrick Marleau, and Jody Shelley's seeing eye deflection which ...

Javon Walker will not be a Cowboy. Probably better off. **** Eric Hurley: three innings, one hit, three Ks. **** Nolan Ryan's tutoring Brandon McCarthy. The bigger news: Steve Buechele and Pete O'Brien are in camp! **** Goose ranks the QBs all time. **** Sooner or later, Oklahoma City will have a NBA team. **** The NBA standings: Mavs hanging in there, but the guys above them keep winning.

Blue & Gold (of Buffalo) —
The Buffalo Sabres beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-2 and Maxim Afinogenov showed up for this game and played great. Afinogenov set himself up for a breakaway that resulted in a nice goal, set up Derek Roy for a breakaway that resulted in a goal, and then managed to squeeze a shot through for another goal that Biron looked to have pretty well ...
Brian Campbell is Going Nowhere
Melt Your Face Off —
Raskolnikov, you’ve gone too far now. How high can you be to compare Brian Campbell aka Spin-O-Rama Jr. to the biggest single from the second best record of the shoegazer era? Pops Xanax Well, after dreading this moment for weeks, I’ve noticed a few similarities between Mr. Campbell and the Oxford band. 1. Campbell pounded RJ Umberger like Loz Colbert beat his drum set. 2. Swirling, hazy, distorted guitars hide Ride’s simple pop songs. Swirling, hazy, pretty goals hide Campbell’s defensive deficiencies. 3. Four years after Nowhere , Ride released Carnival of Light , a soulless record stripped of what gave Andy Bell and Co. an ...
NHL Four-cast: Chicago Blackhawks
Scotty Hockey —
1 - Why is this team worth watching? Because Jon Toews can do this and because Pat Kane can do this and because new addition Brian Campbell can do this. A young, exciting team, you need to Commit To The Indian as they revive an Original Six franchise. 2 - Are they better or worse than last year? Much, much better. The kids are a year older, Crazy Khabibulin has a motivated backup to challenge him, Soupy came from San Jose ... Denis Savard has them playing exciting hockey and I am more than willing to say that I am jumping on their bandwagon. After the Blueshirts I root for Original Six teams ...

The Rangers may already be two games into their 2008-09 campaign but, let's face it, Friday night's game against Chicago is the real start to the season. Coming in with two wins ensures the Blueshirts will get a warm reception but who knows how long that will last? Here are some thoughts pregame: ...
