Not really sure what’s going on here – you be the judge…
The above video is of Martin Havlat scoring the first goal for the San Jose Sharks in last night’s 5-2 loss to the Kings. For what it’s worth, according to one report, during the post-game media scrum Havlat denied he was flipping off the crowd. [...]
After getting beat the night before by the Anaheim Ducks on home ice, the Sharks didn’t fare any better in Los Angeles. Martin Havlat, recently back from injury, did his best to help San Jose – contributing with their first goal and latter adding and assist – but, it wasn’t nearly enough to keep up with [...]
If you’re on twitter, you probably saw our note earlier today that the folks who own the Hollywood sign have been in touch with the NHL regarding Jonathan Bernier’s mask. According to sources, Bernier either needs to remove the sign from his current mask or he must pay royalties for using it.

The Kings are entering uncharted waters tonight against the Sharks. Winners of four in a row for the second time this season, LA has a chance to do something they haven’t done all year, win a fifth straight.

We also looked at Jonathan Quick reaching the 30 win plateau for the third straight season and if that’s a [...]
