Negative Feedback On NHL Realignment

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

01/02/07 at 06:35 PM ET | Comments (0)

from Stan Fischler of MSG Network,

• The NHL realignment idea is inspiring significant negative feedback. As one high NHL Exec says, “Why are they always finding something wrong and looking to change? I’ve never seen the league change so much so often. Who does Gary Bettman listen to anyway? The system is perfect the way it is now with great races all over the place.”
• Pittsburgh insiders with whom we talk believe that the Penguins will be saved for Pitt with some behind-the-scenes wheeling-dealing. However, no one is willing to bet on it because of Pennsylvania politics. Should all attempts fail, the Pens could wind up in, 1. Houston; 2. Kansas City; 3. Las Vegas; 4. Oklahoma City.

Sharks Send Pair To Minors

San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has assigned right wing Steve Bernier and defenseman Matt Carle to the Worcester Sharks, the team’s top development affiliate in the American Hockey League.
Carle, 22, currently leads all Sharks defensemen with 21 points (3-18=21). Among League rookies, he is sixth in points, fourth in assists and tied for third in power play points (2-10=12) in 39 games played.
Bernier, 21, has appeared in 39 games posting 25 points (11-14=25), which is fourth-best on the team. His six power play goals are fourth on the team and his three game-winning goals are tied for third. He ranks 12th among all League forwards in hits (88).

added 10:07pm, from the AP via the Contra Costa Times,

Coach Ron Wilson said he wanted to send a message to both players after Bernier scored just one point in his past seven games and Carle was a minus-4 against the Coyotes.
But the Sharks decided a one-game message wasn’t enough to turn around either player, so they demoted two key contributors to one of the NHL’s winningest teams.
“They are two different cases,” Wilson said Tuesday. “I have all the confidence in both guys and am sure they will turn their games around.”

A Marriage Made In Heaven

Blog: KK Hockey By Paul

01/02/07 at 04:11 PM ET | Comments (0)

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

...Yzerman, meanwhile, became one of a handful of NHL players that ended his career in the same place it began — in Detroit, with a Red Wings’ team that soon grew to appreciate all the things, obvious and subtle, that he did for them. Yzerman acknowledged that he didn’t know much about Detroit when he first arrived. He learned about their history early on, whenever Gordie Howe or Ted Lindsay dropped by the dressing room. In the end, he contributed greatly to that history, which is why Jersey No. 19 was raised to the rafters on Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena, culminating a remarkable career that began as an awkward coupling - and ended up as a marriage made in heaven.
