Hockey Feast on Friday

I will be stuck in the office on Friday, a day that includes 13 NHL games, 13 AHL games, 8 ECHL games, 7 QMJHL games, 9 OHL games, 11 WHL games, 6 USHL games, 17 NCAA games and, welcome to the party, 25 Minnesota Boys high school hockey games.

At some point that day, I will be out of the cubicle. That's when my feast of hockey begins.

The Hangover: Nov. 21



All Sidney, all the time. Crosby's return was carried on an MSG channel in the New York area, but viewers here were still able to see the pregame show on Versus, which had the game for the rest of the United States.

Couldn't help but notice the horror in Mike Milbury's eyes as the discussion moved from the Penguins to their opponents Monday night, the horrible Islanders, their goaltending debacle and the overall tale of woe this franchise is writing. You had a big hand in it, Mike. What say you?

If you looked closely, you could see Milbury saying under his breath, "LAH, LAH, LAH, LAH, I CANNOT HEAR YOU." I, on the other hand, did stop and listen to Milbury, who offered nothing of value. Serves me right for paying attention to Milbury.

Time to roll the scores.

The Hangover: Nov. 20



A few rules are observed when it comes to reading notes columns in the Lounge. If the source is the Sun, as in Ottawa Sun, Edmonton Sun, Calgary Sun, Toronto Sun, etc., I am skeptical. And if it is the work of Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun that is being cited, then I have a hearty laugh and say shame on me for reading.

Garrioch, who has been labeled as Malkin to the Kings on the Puck Daddy blog, is the undisputed king of sources said, according to league officials, is believed hockey journalism. I do like to read ESPN.com's NHL rumors blog posts, if only for the heavy amount of play Garrioch gets. Every day, somebody is believed to be interested in a certain player, according to a league official, if only because said player happens to be in the NHL at that moment. In other words, everyone is in play.

Garrioch's Malkin to the Kings report was the high point of humor, in that the Kings would received Malkin for a draft pick and, perhaps, Mike Cammalleri. Of course, only league sources is presented for attribution on the Penguins' offering of Malkin.

This unnamed source in notebooks and sports briefs is not uncommon, but it can be laughable when it appears again and again, if only to knock down other similarly attributed columns.

In his don't call it a sports blog, the blogger Murray Chass had a few issues with ESPN.com's reporting on baseball's labor talks and decided to blacken a few eyes:

In the space of less than two weeks, ESPN.com raised the possibility of a serious problem in the talks and practically had a new labor contract signed, sealed and delivered.

According to the Web site, in articles loaded with anonymous sources, a new labor deal has gone from being “still stuck in negotiating limbo” to having the “stalled” talks taking “a step forward” to the owners and players being “on the verge of a new labor deal” that could be concluded by the end of this week.

I love Chass's use of "loaded with anonymous sources," which is loaded with scarlet paint to damn the reporting.

But after all that, what does Chass do to support his argument that, what else, he is right and ESPN.com is all wrong?

“I think you have a valid point,” one labor negotiator said. ...

I would repeat something I wrote earlier this month about a management person saying that Jerry Reinsdorf, the Chicago White Sox chairman, told Selig the players wouldn’t strike over slotting, but Selig was incensed that I had invoked Reinsdorf’s name in connection with his decisions, and I don’t want to incite him again so soon. ...

“The deadline is Dec. 11,” said an official, referring to the expiration date of the current agreement, “and there will be a deal. ...

He's probably right, but I don't trust this kind of reporting any more. Steal little or steal big, not naming names is simply that to this reader. I've been burned enough to know that I need a name of a source, not a rank, to better believe what I am being told. That's just how it works in the Lounge. No credit given, no tabs. That's the name of that tune.

Time to roll the scores.

The Weekend Hangover: Nov. 18-19



Bad defense kills, and Duncan Keith is having a bad weekend.

On the ice for seven Oilers goals in Edmonton's 9-2 victory Saturday night. Keith, to be fair, was on the ice for a Blackhawks goal. In addition, Keith finished the night a minus-4 and may end up drawing a session in NHL court for knocking Taylor Hall into the boards from behind.

Just saying, things can go bad quickly. And after a victory in Vancouver to start the week, the Blackhawks put up two terrible performances against Calgary (minus-4, one assist)and Edmonton.



For his efforts in the 2009-10 season, Keith was awarded the Norris Trophy as best defenseman. The next season, neither he or his teammates were up to the challenge of repeating for any hardware.

And this season, stretches of good play have been marked with bad decisions. His cross-ice pass near the blue line against Vancouver set up a breakaway chance, one that required Corey Crawford to foil.

Saturday against the Oilers, Keith and the rest of the Blackhawks' defense was horrible. And don't think the folks at Hockey Night In Canada didn't notice. The CBC's P.J. Stock and Kelly Hrudey were all over the poor defensive play; I'm certain Mike Milbury said something, too, but I have learned to yell "LAH, LAH, LAH, LAH" when ever he talks. It helps drown out his voice.

But the LAH strategy will not drown out the poor defensive play by the Blackhawks. Be it the coach, the captain or the players, somebody needs to identify the problem and get a solution on the table now. There is a matter of hardware at stake.

The Hangover: Nov. 17



Before plunging into the daily rundown of scores, I wanted to update you on the week that has been nonstop hockey in the Lounge.

Yes, I have not written in a while, but what can you do when you are juggling a home life, a work life, and a nightly package of pro and college hockey that can eat up your time from 7 pm to 2:30 am (live games followed by NHL On the Fly Final)? You can take notes and tape games, but both of those stack up like pizza boxes in a dorm room at some point.

In any event, let's dig in to those stacked up pizza boxes to give you a sampler of what my week has been.

-- You have to like the candor of Bobby Taylor, the color man on the Lightning broadcasts. When Steven Stamkos appeared to take a dive to draw a high-sticking call Monday against the Winnipeg Jets, Taylor did not try to skate around the issue. He watched the replay and then told the viewers that Stamkos was not hit with a stick and explained that is why the Jets fans seemed ready to come over the boards. He later told the audience that the Lightning were playing a soft game against the Jets, who were taking advantage of Tampa Bay's unwillingness to initiate any physical play.

-- Another Tuesday night on Long Island, and the Rangers should have crushed this tomato can. But the Islanders hang on for a few rounds before the Rangers scratch out a victory. Ugly game.

-- Wednesday night is why we live for hockey: Devils/Sabres, Ducks/Kings and Blackhawks/Canucks. Sure, Carolina was at Montreal, but did you see that game. I did. Let's leave it at that. The Devils came in a shoved the Sabres around. There is a lot of talent on the Sabres, but not enough jam, at least, not right now. Maybe the Sabres need a few rule changes to make it safe for them to come out on the ice. Also Wednesday, the Blackhawks put their best effort forward against the Canucks, who were more than game for a battle for two periods. But let's ask that the Blackhawks' TV announcers not get carried away when handing out kudos for, the game. Duncan Keith's game was called flawless, a masterpiece. Well, I guess we can ignore a few bad passes, including one at the blueline that created a breakaway shot on goal for the Canucks. Corey Crawford, now YOU had a masterpiece game. Kings beat the Ducks. I went to bed happy.

-- A little family time and then it's late night in the Lounge with the Kings/Ducks and Red Wings/Sharks. You cannot do better than these two games when it's past 11 Eastern and there is still another day in the work week. But the eyes are going fast. Fortunately, the Kings beat the Ducks again. I fall to sleep quickly.

--There are only three NHL games on Friday night. I've seen too much of Carolina already, so the Sabres/Hurricanes game, 7 pm, is Internet radio only. Stars/Avalanche (9 Eastern) will be on the medium HD screen and the Blackhawks/Flames (9 Eastern) goes on the big HD screen.

-- Small screen, big games. The iPhone will get a workout tonight, with college hockey on tap (no phone calls, please): Boston College/Notre Dame at 7:30 Eastern on CBS College Sports, Minnesota/St. Cloud State at 9 Eastern on Fox College Sports Atlantic, Nebraska-Omaha/Denver at 9:30 Eastern on Fox College Sports Pacific.

-- Just received a note about the AHL online package. Hmm, sounds interesting. Might be trouble.

And now, roll the scores, please:
