McQuaid vs. Clifford.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:08:02 AM
Note: We actually had one of these in my house. RT @DanCagen : Claude Julien owes a quarter in the naughty jar. A couple quarters, actually.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:09:31 AM
Folks, Jeff Carter is trending...

by lisa dillman via twitter 1/10/2014 5:23:23 AM
So there's that. RT @LAKings : This game is over. In the refrigerator. Quickie don’t give up no 3-1 lead after two.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:36:34 AM
What's up with the "USA" chant? Kings fans know Boston is in the US, right?

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:41:26 AM
I'm aware. Just strange. RT @MFontaine61492 : @AmalieBenjamin Quick is the likely starter for team USA in Sochi

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:43:22 AM
Dec. 5. So he's not in with the Paille/Bergeron gang. RT @emd9930 : @AmalieBenjamin when was Soderberg's last penalty?

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:46:29 AM
The Kings mascot just dumped a bucket of popcorn on a guy in a Bruins jersey. That wasn't nice.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 5:54:47 AM
Just took the elevator down with the @LAKings mascot. He was vaguely threatening.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 6:04:26 AM
I hope I make it out of the Staples Center alive. RT @LAKings : @amaliebenjamin RUN!

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 6:34:21 AM
Hey, @baileylakings , care to answer? RT @benshpigel : @AmalieBenjamin how regal is he? and does he tweet on parchment with a quill pen?

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 6:43:29 AM
So ... tonight has been weird.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 6:46:59 AM
Darryl Sutter, via Kings quotesheet: (Re boots given to him pregame): “I thought they were going to give me a tractor.”

by lisa dillman via twitter 1/10/2014 6:53:48 AM
Claude Julien: "We've got to make some corrections here. We've got to be a better hockey club. It's as simple as that."

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 6:58:40 AM
Just landed in San Jose. Wondering what mascot I'm going to have to tangle with in Northern California.

A closer look at what set Hannan off in final minutes of #SJSharks 4-1 win over DET -- and more. Latest posting at blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/

by David Pollak via twitter 1/10/2014 5:24:36 PM
The Bruins - or, at least, Matt Bartkowski - have made it to San Jose. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdpMParCIAA0QpT.jpg

#SJSharks say NHL rescinded late instigator penalty to Hannan after reviewing Cleary elbow. Means no chance of suspension, fine for coach.

by David Pollak via twitter 1/10/2014 8:22:50 PM
Shawn Thornton back in merlot today ahead of his return tomorrow night.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 8:23:26 PM
Johnny Boychuk not on the ice. He's the only Bruin not out there.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 8:24:21 PM
#SJSharks McLellan declined to talk about Cleary hit that prompted Hannan to take run, says the NHL can decide if supplemental warranted.

by David Pollak via twitter 1/10/2014 8:24:29 PM
Three forwards in gray today: Loui Eriksson, Ryan Spooner, Matt Fraser.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 8:30:42 PM
Let's try that again. Loui Eriksson in gray with Ryan Spooner and Carl Soderberg. Matt Fraser and Justin Florek the extra forwards.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 8:36:46 PM
Heard in the arena. "I have an urge to selfie," @JamieErdahl .

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 8:39:45 PM
Things have officially gone loopy on the Bruins beat. Right, @JamieErdahl and @cswitaj ?

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 8:51:49 PM
Injured #SJShark Burish says he's feeling better on ice, says he and Torres talk about if it makes sense to return before or after break.

by David Pollak via twitter 1/10/2014 8:57:24 PM
If you look closely, you can see @sjsharkie riding down the street on a scooter. So I assume he's stalking me. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdppBdTCAAAQNLm.jpg

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 10:06:25 PM
YES. MT @DanCagen : I think we've seen the last of @AmalieBenjamin . She's off to Hollywood to write a TV show about mascots & sportswriters.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/10/2014 10:27:54 PM
It all makes sense now. Sort of. MT @NHLBruins : "Think I can hit Bart?" Watch Johnny's target practice bbru.in/1ewHPXW ^TV

Shawn Thornton: "I didn't snap. I wasn't out of control" during the Brooks Orpik incident: b.globe.com/1cOIYuF

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/11/2014 5:49:17 PM
Looks to be a very optional skate this a.m. as #SSharks prepare for BOS tonight. Which means no sense of lines or d-pairings. Sorry.

Loui Eriksson second getting on the ice, behind David Krejci. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BduN3OoCYAAcw8l.jpg

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/11/2014 7:25:51 PM
Claude Julien is brandishing his sticks at those of us in the media. "Anyone want to get whacked?" he joked.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/11/2014 7:28:51 PM
McLellan says Irwin not ready to go yet for #SJSharks vs. BOS. And Sheppard scratch last game was coach's decision, not injury related.

by David Pollak via twitter 1/11/2014 7:29:06 PM
Shawn Thornton, Loui Eriksson both on the ice today. Both possibilities to return tonight.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/11/2014 7:30:20 PM
Based on who left ice first, Niem in goal for #SJSharks vs.BOS. He and Team Finland rival Rask used to face each other back home, too.

by David Pollak via twitter 1/11/2014 7:33:08 PM
Johnny Boychuk not on the ice, obviously. Back home in Boston. Kevan Miller will take his place tonight.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/11/2014 7:39:10 PM
Tuukka Rask was first off the ice this morning. Should be in goal tonight.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/11/2014 7:58:05 PM
The press box is quite close to the ceiling here in San Jose. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bdv0yawCYAARheb.jpg

Shawn Thornton hits the ice for warmups for the 1st time since Dec. 7. I sat down with him earlier this week: bitly.com/1iYxD0a

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/12/2014 2:59:24 AM
Great to see Loui Eriksson back on the ice for warmups. He was all smiles earlier today as he makes his return, finally.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/12/2014 3:01:13 AM
Looked down and almost astonished to see #SJSharks skating in teal jerseys. First time since Dec. 23 as last 3 home games on THUR or SUN.

by David Pollak via twitter 1/12/2014 3:01:58 AM
My view for the evening. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bdv2fbUCUAEbBgx.jpg
