I found myself at Sharks Ice Fremont for the so-called practice.  It seemed like the guys who showed up were really just putting on a show for the fans.  And there were quite a few there.  I've never seen that place so packed.  They ran a few drills and finished with a shootout.  Ehrhoff was giving away pucks, Douglas was shouting every time he scored and Jody was working the crowd.  The practice was much more entertaining than the line for the autograph session.

I also learned it's very difficult to take pictures with a point and shoot through badly scuffed up plexiglass.  Somehow the only guy I could consistently get good shots of was Shelley.  But I figured I could give you guys a photo recap with the best of what I got.  Enjoy!

Some of the guys at center ice.

Boucher was showing off some of his moves.

And called out Ehrhoff on the shootout.

Bouch started throwing his stick at the shooters.

Jody was trying really hard to get pucks between the glass and net.

Ehrhoff had the whole puck over glass thing down.

And finally, yours truly with Plihal...
