Reminder - Manny Malhotra will be at the Sharks Store tomorrow from 4:30 - 6pm. See you there.
Rudy Kelly is was savoring the fact that the Kings are were (temporarily) on top of the Western Conference, while his least favorite team in the universe is (still) at the opposite pole.
No, that's not a misprint - the Kings are on top of the West. What is this, 1991? (for the record, the Kings have never actually finished at the top of the West in their 42 year history)
[UPDATE, 10:47pm] The Kings' loss tonight propels the Sharks back to first place. At least Rudy's dream came (briefly) true.
Is Marty Turco on the trading block? Defending Big D with your info.
One of the teams Turco might be sent to does indeed need a goaltender... so much so that they're looking at rec leagues, as well as the Thrashers.
[UPDATE] - The Flyers reacquire Michael Leighton from Carolina, where he'll reunite with Laviolette.
Five for Howling's primer on Ice Edge, the group purchasing the Yotes.
Mike Grier's importance to the Buffalo Sabres.
In the spirit of Christmas, the Dallas Stars have been giving away points to their W.C. opponents.
The Phoenix / Saskatoon Coyotes doesn't quite have that ring to it.... but it's going forward anyway.
Former Kings / Flames sniper Mike Cammalleri is setting his sights on a Montreal Canadiens mark.
In case you missed it, the Washington Capitals cleared up some massive overhead by shipping Michael Nylander to the AHL, where he'll join (drumroll please...) Patrick Rissmiller.
Thirty teams, 30 Christmas wishes.
Is the Bulin Wall coming down?
Out-shot teams that manage to win.
Behind the Net on size differential between players being hit and those hitting them.
Our friends at SLGT will soon be getting a Brett Hull statue outside the Drink Scotch, which should be a fitting place to recount your unpublishable Hull stories (right, Chris Gift? Ho ho ho indeed...).
Kiprusoff should be on Team Finland (was anyone surprised by this? No? Moving on).
Signs the world is going to end = a Canadian journalist thinks hockey is going to work in Phoenix.
Despite the 5-game Sharks slump, Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley are still in the Art Ross and Rocket Richard runoff, respectively. While you're admiring stats, take a good fucking look at Zenon Konopka... but don't make eye contact or he'll kill you.
Jason Blake either shat his pants while being held at gunpoint, or he just scored a goal... you decide.

I don’t get why the NHL would let a group purchase the ‘Yotes if that ownership group wants them to play some games in Saskatoon. Don’t they WANT games to work in Phoenix, and make it a viable hockey market? This potential move seems like the opposite to me.

Kinda like they’re talking about 26 years in Glendale while simultaneously talking about Canadian contingency cities – who do they think they’re kidding?

Yeah, I forget to mention the whole thing about them riding out the remainder of a lease and at the same time split time in Saskatoon? It would be a mistake to do so and seems counter-intuitive.

Rudy sure is soaking in his 15 minutes of fame … :)

Time to update this post
As Sharks just moved back to no. 1 in the West – while most players are probably at home watching TV.
The miracle of NHL point system.

About to update it
Had to drive home while the LA / Van game was wrapping up.
Oh, and – woooo!!!

HAHA! We’re the BEST! All it took was us not playing for a few days!

this is just hilarious … Rudy got to savor it for a bit just to have it taken away … Sharks better start kicking ass again!! We don’t want anyone else to enjoy the taste of being #1 in the Pacific Division … they might want to try and keep that spot.

Anyone going to see Manny today?
I’ll be there around 5pm, hopefully – I’ve got tutoring until 4:30pm.

Last time I went to see a Shark he was traded the next day. I don’t want to do the same to Manny.

thanks for putting the team before your own personal needs – you are a true Sharks fan!

nah … can never make these things … with work in Emeryville – I just save my leaving work early for going to games vs a signing. :)

Manny Malhotra
Was a super nice guy – all smiles, very personable. Even asked what book I was reading (I didn’t think he could see the book). When I mentioned what it was (“Born in Blood – The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry” of all things), he became suddenly animated, saying how he was intrigued by that sort of thing and watched specials on TV about it.
Wow. Before saying adios, I thanked him for taking the discount to be in San Jose. Wanted to let him know his monetary sacrifice (relatively speaking) didn’t go unnoticed.
Only 140 people there, by the way… got there at 4:30pm (tutoring was earlier than expected), and I was done an hour later, being #118. Not too bad of a wait.

I wish I had gone. With not that many people there, and from how you describe Manny it seems like it would have been worth it.

Damn, that sounds hella awesome. Unfortunately, I did not get home from work until 7, so that made heading out to the Tank for a meet and greet kinda out of the question. Sounds like he’s a good guy, and I’m glad you thanked him for taking a discount to play with us. Hopefully he doesn’t regret the decision at the end of the year!
