Not exactly, between periods of the Calgary game the x-ray of Koz's leg
was displayed as Doc Ting spoke of the operation. The leg has 9 screws
on one side (in a bone I can't remember the name of), and a 3" (approx)
screw through (literally) the ankle. Doc Ting tossed in a 5" steel
plate to reinforce the bone (held in place by the 9 screws). An
interesting piece of work. Looked really painful and the message was
clear; Victor's (ankle) is not well.
3 to 2 over Chicago. Nazarov, tossed? Imagine that. Smith needs
prozac. Naz must have told him he looks like Doogie Howser.

No. From the context, it's clear we're talking about Kozlov's Xrays. Ting's
known to wander around the arena with various sets under his arms. The
other night, it was Larionov.

Subject: Irbe Hangs Tough, Beats Hawks
Message-ID:
All the time while he languished on the bench, Archie was smiling on the
outside but dying on the inside -- dying to get back on the ice.
And so he did...tonight against the Blackhawks. 'Twas a no-brainer for
K.C. -- Irbe's played pretty well in Chicago. And Irbe came through,
making some marvelous saves reminiscent of the Irbe of old, in the 3-2
Sharks win.
Three factors in the game:
1) Irbe. Arturs made very few mistakes this evening and was a lion in the
nets, especially in a frenetic 3rd period when the Hawks' onrushing
forwards set the Sharks back on their heels. Irbe stood tall, stopping 29
of 31 Chicago shots on goal. His full-body-stretch poke check on a late
scoring chance was the best of the night. On a night when the Sharks'
offense was barely there (only 14 S.J. shots) and the defense was suspect
(Ozolinsh remains "Mr. Excitement"), Irbe was there -- with authority.
2) Chicago beat themselves. The secret to beating a hard-nosed team like
the Blackhawks is to let them take the penalties. Steve Smith didn't
exactly cover himself with glory when he tried to tear down the glass
between his penalty box and Nazty's after that 1st period altercation and
was tossed. A team like the Hawks ought to have better discipline than
that if they're going to go far in the playoffs.
3) Who shot J.R.? Anyone else notice the Hawks haven't rung up one
single point since Roenick went down with his ACL? Chicago has lots of
great shooters...but Jeremy's the straw that stirs the drink for the
Blackhawks.
Nothing But Net: Sharks have a better chance of winning when they score
early. Nice pass from Whit to Friesen (who's caught fire in a *big* way)
for the first goal. It may still be Forsberg vs. Kariya for the Calder,
but the Freezer at least ought to make them wet their pants a bit...
Kevin Miller jusssst slipped the puck under Belfour's five-hole. And Jim
Kyte's a better skater than I gave him credit for. He roared in off the
right wing, took a perfect pass from Janney and stuffed Belfour.
Summing up: Great rebound from Monday's shellacking in Calgary, earning
the Sharks their first-ever win in Chicagoland. So now I suppose the
question is: Who do you start against the Red Wings Thursday night?

Subject: Sharks-Oilers: Hammerhead Road Thrill!
Message-ID:
Having more or less recovered from the spectacle of the West Edmonton
Mall, 26 Hammerhead boosters experienced another spectacle Sunday night
-- the first-ever San Jose win on Oilers' turf.
And it was *definitely* worth it to read the Edmonton papers in the
coffee shop of the Howard Johnson Plaza hotel (our home base) the
following morning. I recommend the Canadian daily tabloids whenever
possible (rather than the turgid Globe & Mail); their headlines scream
the loudest. The Edmonton Sun's daily "Sun"-shine Girl took second
billing that day to the sports section's top slug: "SHELL-SHARKED!"
Pre-game festivities were most memorable. Tour leader Ed Rush arranged
for a private walk-through of the revitalized Edmonton Coliseum the
afternoon of the game. I'd never been there (or even to Alberta) before,
but it certainly seemed a lot more user-friendly than what the old
building must have been. Private suites all-around (a *lot* smaller than
ours); a new Club area (lots of space to roam, but almost no place to
sit); and a matrix video board like the one in the Tank -- the difference
being, it can be seen by a *lot* more people in Edmonton's building. We
even had our picture taken on the Sharks' bench, where Ed left a note
wishing the boys good luck.
Pre-game "refreshments" followed in the Forum lounge across the street,
where we ran into the Friesen clan from Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan
(Attention, Chuq & Laurie: Daryl and Judy send profuse thanks for the
pictures of Jeff).
As for the game, there was a certain sense of pride in singing our
national anthem in a Canadian arena. We were met with curiosity,
indifference and a few dirty looks from the Oilers fans, and the
aforementioned indifference lasted the entire game. The Hammerheads were
the *loudest* people in the house -- not bad for 26 people. The only time
the Edmonton folks cheered was for an unusually-good save...or when the
Oilers scored. Other than that, the place became the Edmonton Mausoleum.
The more we scored, the more stuffs made of Oilers shooters by Flats, the
quieter the building became. And after Nazty put the game away for good
on another L&M Moment, the Coliseum turned into a northern Great Western
Forum and people were flying out of there.
The Coliseum folks (who, BTW, were terrific to deal with) let us
downstairs after the game to the locker room entrance. Pederson and Mak
dodged the HBC autograph hounds. Patty posed for photos. K.C. looked a
little less grim than usual. Ed Rush's Hammerhead t-shirt was autographed
with three generations of the Friesen family: grandfather, father, and
Jeff. Iggy said his new book should be out sometime this fall. Flats
almost missed the bus. I gave Odgie the high-five; he responded with a
firm captain's grip and the winner's gleam in his eye.
Next day, Terry Jones (the Ray Ratto of Edmonton) in The Sun: "R.I.P
OILERS". "Dead last. They are last. They are dead." Sun sports editor
Scott Haskins nailed Shayne Corson, blaming him for the exit of ex-coach
George Burnett: "This isn't real life where the captain goes down with his
ship. This is sports, where the captain just removes his 'C,' jumps into a
lifeboat and blurts out something appropriate: 'It's too bad George had to
lose his job.'"
Final quote, from Dougie Weight: "I can't see San Jose being a better team
than us. Five-nothing. Five-two. There's just no way."
Terry Jones: "Way."

Subject: Sharks-Calgary: Hammerhead Road Kill!
Message-ID:
If it's Monday, this must be Calgary.
A group of hungover Hammerheads boarded a chartered bus that morning and
headed for the Denver of Western Canada, Calgary. A three-hour ride down
Highway 2, punctuated only by an unscheduled pit stop at the Winchell's of
Canada, Tim Hortons. Most of us agreed that the "Tim-Bits" were the
closest thing to Donut Heaven, though I recommended the apple fritters...
and Jim ate some God-awful cream-spewing thing that was right out of Star
Trek or something . . . ("He's dead, Jim" "Good, take his tricorder and
then his wallet...")
Headquarters: The Calgary Westin, where the doormen wear cowboy hats,
there are Old (Canadian) Frontier photo reproductions in nearly every
room, and never is heard a discouraging word. Three blocks from the
Calgary LRT (odd: the trolleys in Edmonton and Calgary are German-made;
our own San Jose trolleys were Canadian-born. Go figure.) which took us
to the Olympic Saddledome.
We huddled by the main entrance while Ed got our tickets. A sign on the
ticket window said something about day-of-game sales with the ominous
warning: "Strenuous Climb Involved!"
Since the first two levels of the Saddledome are sold out (to season tix
holders, and would you believe top price is only $38 CDN?), our seats
were in Section 6, Loge Area, Rows 54 and 55. No elevators or
escalators; getting there involves climbing six flights of stairs just to
reach the loge entrance, then more flights to reach our section.
The altitude was so high and the pitch was so steep (and so cramped, the
restrooms are double-decker), we might as well have been watching table
hockey. We were so high that the press box blocked our view of the
scoreboard (which was presented to us via closed- circuit TV). I could
only think of Chuq's thoughts on the not-so-Fabulous Forum: the vendors
sell oxygen, not water, and there were cries of "Telescope! Get your
Hubble telescope here!" Fortunately, there was no danger of falling down
the stairs in our section. There was so much crap spilled on the floor
that my feet stuck to every step.
We *really* might as well have watched table hockey after the first 25
minutes, when Joe Nieuwendyk left the Sharks' D-men in the dust with his
10th career hat trick (and only *one* hat was tossed on the ice!). The
Flames knew the Sharks were tired from the previous night, and turned on
the speed.
Quoting Larry Tucker in the Calgary Sun: "The Saddledome rafters are
adorned with some most interesting souvenirs. Pennants from the Calgary
Flames' glory years. A Hockey Canada banner. A pennant from the 1988
Winter Olympic Games. And Mike Rathje's jockstrap." Nieuwendyk, Fleury
and Reichel took Rat and Kroupa to school on the fastest ice in the league
Monday night.
The building, as with Edmonton's, was dead. They have one of those
infernal "noise-meters" -- the crowd noise rises to a crescendo, then
falls stone-silent when the scoreboard screen goes blank; when the Flames
scored (which was often), a police siren is followed on the video screen
by a cartoon cowboy shooting off his six-shooters and yelling
YAAAA---HOOOOOOOO!...which really got a rise from the crowd.
We gave it our best, but our voices just got lost in the cavernous 'Dome.
The only people who were louder than us were a bunch of schoolgirls from
England on a field hockey tour of Canada. Although ice hockey is played
in the U.K., they'd never seen it on ice until Monday. And they were
enjoying themselves: GOOOOO Fuh-LAMES!, they shouted -- which sounds
really weird in an Oxonian accent. They were so loud, one of our group
asked them, "if you're ever in our building, would you please root for the
Sharks?"
Loss aside, I can live with a split in Alberta. We had a wonderful time.
The weather was in our favor most of the trip. The Canadian hospitality
was everything it could have been. And the exchange rate was just too
good to pass up. Rene and her mom cleaned out an entire Edmonton
bookshop of hockey literature. Girard cleaned up on elbow pads. I added
to my hockey tie collection. The West Edmonton Mall will never be quite
the same.
Ya-hoo.

What the F*CK is going on with the officiating?!?! I can't believe
Nazzy got royally messed over again! After trying to defend Igor from
that cheap-shot go-for-the-bad-ankle crap, he gets a double-minor roughing
and another GAME MISCONDUCT.
Meanwhile, the offender gets nothing but a minor and a misconduct? And
nothing for throwing the scorers' table or trying to bust up the box? And
then tries to break into the locker room?
What gives? Is this simple anti-Europeanism? (excuse the rant, please
direct any nontechnical responses to sharks-chat...)
My point being: is Nazzy getting a remotely fair shake? Does the NHL abuse
rookies like the NBA does? Are any of these misconducts "reviewable" and
dismissable by the league? Would KC take such a path?
> How did they do it? GREAT goaltending by Archie.
Yup. And mostly quick removal of rebounds by the defensemen. Just like
what I saw in his last appearance, he seems to be *reacting* SO much better
than a few weeks ago. I think Wade stops goal #2, but not all of the shots
Archie saved. Archie even made some nice clear-to-the-side-with-the-stick,
Wade-style.
> Smart D in the Sharks' end (which was most of the time) despite tired legs.
Sandis made a couple more UGLY mishandles in the defensive zone again.
Maybe he's not over the flu yet.
And can you say KYTE?! And Tommy's back -- what did he *do* to get into
the doghouse in the first place?

Seems to me that two of the best games Archie had in the playoffs were
games 1 and 7 (or 5?) in Detroit. If he's up to it, he starts. If
he does well there, it's his choice to start Sunday if he wants (I'd
let him "reconcile" with the Tank on *his* terms... his best game before
Chicago was in the Forum, wasn't it? The Kings might make a good opponent
for him and the Tank to have a reunion.)
My only concern is that Flats not take 2-3 games of downtime as "punishment"
for Calgary -- IMHO, the defense lost that game, not him.
We still have to assume that Archie is #1 for the playoffs. Playing on
a likely opponent's home ice this late in the season is a worthwhile
warm-up, I think. I bet KC starts Archie, unless he's thinking of Flats
#1 for the playoffs.
> wouldn't want to kill Irbe's confidence by putting him into a game we get

Yup.
I predict a 3-3 or 4-4 tie, myself. With Nazzy getting thrown out at
2:43 of the first period for a two-line pass with intent to commit great
plexiglass harm. And a total of 4 points for the OVs (including Kyteov
[-:). What odds do I get?
Seems to me that NEITHER Chicago goal was a PP goal. This, from the #1
PP team in the West. On their home ice. They had at least 2 PPs in
the first period, I think...

Chicago was 0 for 3 on the Power Play, Sharks were 0 for 2. No penalties
were called after the Smith-Nazarov hootenany at the end of the 1st period.

Andrei Nazarov will not get a single break from an official this year and
quite possibly much of next.
It's not because he's a rookie, it's not because he's Russian, it's because
every official in the NHL saw the tape of the head butt. Nazzy has a
reputation now, deserved or not, of being a cheap fighting goon. The game
gets called differently for goons.

I'd have to say Wade. Irbe hasn't done well on back to back starts. I also
prefer Wade's style against Detroit. He doesn't seem to go down as fast.
With the league's 3rd best offense swarming around the net, you've got to
stay on your feet.

Subject: Sharks 3, Blackhawks 2, 4/12
Message-ID:
The Sharks stole two points from the Chicago Blackhawks with their first
win ever in the Windy City despite being outshot, dominated on time of
possession, face offs and pretty much every statistic in the world, and
despite some seriously brain-dead reffing by Lance Roberts.
They did so by standing on the shoulders of Arturs Irbe, who girded his
loins and told the team "I owe you one", and went out and gave them the
game of the season. Craig Janney, making Jim Kyte look like a 50 goal guy,
set up the winning goal.
The big controversy came late in the first when Steve Smith blatantly
tripped Igor Larionov near the boards. Andrei Nazarov wandered in to say
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You hit my center. Now you will die". When the
dust settled, Smith had tried to dismantle the penalty box to get to
Nazarov, making the official scorers very unhappy and restrained by Dirk
Graham IN the box, and both players were gone for the game -- and somehow,
the Hawks came out with a power play.
According to the reports, here's how it all came out: Smith gets two for
tripping Igor. Nazarov gets four for roughing Smith and a game misconduct.
Smith then got a game misconduct for trying to dismember the penalty box.
What's wrong here? If Nazarov gets a game misconduct for roughing up Smith,
why wasn't it fighting and an instigator? Where was Smith's return
roughing? If Nazzy really WAS thrown out for his work on Smith, why was he
sitting in the penalty box for Smith to try to attack? Or was Nazzy really
thrown out for sitting in the penalty box and watching Smith come after
him?
No matter HOW you look at this, Roberts blew it big time. The PROPER call
would have been closer to Smith 2 tripping, five fighting, Nazarov 2
instigator (third man in), five fighting, game with no power play. Either
that, or four each (tripping roughing for smith, roughing roughing for
Nazzy), and then Smith gets ten and a game for crawling through the scorer.
But realistically, they should have both been long gone and the box
incident shouldn't have been there.
And the death march continues. But we're one point out from the Kings, with
one extra game to play (which will be tonight against Detroit. Don't expect
to seal two games in a row).

I wonder. I wonder if the time off didn't really help. I wonder if it's a
coincidence that Irbe's first start didn't happen until AFTER Irbe made
public mumbles about wanting to play before he started getting rusty. Was
Constantine waiting for Irbe to get antsy, or did he take it as a sign that
Irbe was finally ready to play Irbe hockey?
I think -- subconsciously -- Irbe knew it was time for a break, and the
Sharks gave it to him. And when Archy started being ready to play again,
his comments made it clear, and the Sharks took the hint. And we stole two
points on his back.
(such are the little mind games that make the difference between a Kevin
Constantine and a Robbie Ftorek. When to sit, when to play, what to say.
Those are the difference between a guy who can do X's and O's and a guy who
can coach, and it's the part fans usually don't see....)
