Sharks' Marleau ties 96-year-old mark with fast start - NHL.com

Marleau scored two goals for the fourth straight game Saturday, sparking the Sharks to a 4-0 win against the Colorado Avalanche at HP Pavilion. He joined Cy Denneny of the 1917-18 Ottawa Senators as the only players in NHL history with four multi-goal games to open a season.

This Marleau-Thornton-Pavelski line is absolutely on fire to start the season. 11 points each for Marleau & Thornton and eight for Pavelski. Sharks are 4-0. Que the inevitable choke in the playoffs...

Or que the inevitable Sharks are about to go 2-3-3 in there next eight games, with both wins coming in shootouts. Marleau (One goal & one assist) & Thornton (Two assists) have just two points each in those eight contests, while Pavelski has four (Four goals). So much for that hot start & it only gets worse as they're next four games are all on the road at Chicago (2), St. Louis & Dallas. At least they're only two points down to Anaheim in the Pacific Division with two games in hand.

Calgary offer sheeted Ryan O'Reilly yesterday. Had Colorado not matched, he would've had to clear waivers as he had played in the KHL after the start of the NHL season.

They would've given up their 1st and 3rd rounds picks and not gotten O'Reilly. lol

Explanation of why.

Colorado Avalanche's Ryan O'Reilly offer could've been costly for Calgary Flames - NHL.com

"Prior to tendering the offer sheet for Ryan O'Reilly we, as a hockey operations department, examined whether there were any impediments to our successfully securing the services of the player including, but not limited to, his having played in the KHL after the start of the current NHL season," Calgary general manager Jay Feaster said in a statement.

"Our interpretation of the Article 13 transition rules governing restricted free agents ("RFA"), and the applicability of Article 13.23 under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement to such RFA's was, and continues to be, different than the NHL's current interpretation as articulated to us this morning. Moreover, throughout our discussions, the player?s representative shared our interpretation and position with respect to the non-applicability of Article 13.23.

"While we were prepared to advance our position with the NHL, in light of Colorado's having matched the offer sheet it is now an academic point. As such, we will have no further comment on the matter, the player, or the offer sheet process."

What a bizarre rule. At the same time, this guy should probably step down as GM of the Calgary Flames if he wasn't aware of this. Sounds like he didn't realize this could've happened & should probably not be making such decisions of a franchise if he is that blind to the rules. Strange.

Save of the season so far ?

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Y9PdQuWV8"]Mike Smith Amazing Save Against Anaheim 3/2/13 - YouTube[/ame]

Don't worry, Bobby Ryan got some sort of revenge on him later in the game. Ryan got a nice two-handed slash on the back of Mike Smith's legs when the refs weren't looking in OT. Mike Smith had some strong words for him after regulation ended & promptly stopped all three Anaheim shooters in the shootout for the win. Probably going to be a tense affair on Tuesday when they meet up again in Phoenix.

Ryan Getzlaf gets to stay in Anaheim with eight-year deal - NHL.com

an eight-year extension with the Anaheim Ducks that will net the captain an $8.25 million average payout annually through the 2020-21 season.

Really interested into what Corey Perry is thinking. Does he want to stay or go ? I'm sure somebody will try to make a move for him if he doesn't re-sign with Anaheim, even though he will be a free agent after the season if that's the case.
