I could come here and run another Dany Heatley piece or two. Take a swing at some proposed trades. Get all involved and brush up on the Captaincy issues, write a song, go through the salary cap figures for the upteenth time, maybe sneak a peek at the UFA market.
Blah.
October 1st is going to be like watching Gary Busey punch Corey Perry in the face repeatedly while "Jackie Wilson Said" by Van Morrison plays on some high end speakers. Real top of the line stuff.
[Plank Update 8/27]: New sjsharks.com homepage which means a new poll. Also, per Jeff Marek on Twitter, Heatley is playing with Thornton and Marleau today during Team Canada's orientation camp. Too funny.
Boyle is paired with Pronger, making it the second straight day they have skated together.

I totally think this is what Jack will be doing when he’s decided he’s done with acting. He’ll be that man on the park bench who randomly yells at people and flips them off. I have a feeling he will be happier than he’s ever been.

Maybe
Except for the whole Salary Cap thing. That’s what’s got my angst machine going in high gear and sometimes makes me think stupid things like “We should trade Patty, Joe and Nabby.”

That was me earlier this offseason
and still is to a smaller extent. But I’ve recently realized that there are more important things worth stressing about, i.e. finding a job, things that you actually have control over. Speculation and rosterbation can be fun, but can be hazardous to your health (mental and physical).

Don't care for the background
As much as I like Danny and Joe, I don’t like singling them out in a sports so reliant on team play. I prefer those rotating player cards on the right side of the previous layout.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature

The "redesign"
honestly looks like they just changed the background from teal to black with teal slashes. I think it looks pretty sharp, but basically the same.

It’s better than before, but the nit-picky web designer in me is annoyed by the banner that doesn’t line up with the background image.
Oh, and the huge image of McLellan always freaks me out a bit.

I think it’s amusing, although between that and the Mike Singletary billboards the Niners have put up, I hope it doesn’t inspire the other Bay Area teams to promote ticket sales with their coaches. Could you imagine Tom Cable hawking Raiders tickets?

True, but still. Its like a third of Todd’s face blown up and placed right in the middle of the screen. Its kind of creepy how he just stares at you, with that weird quote, “We’d like to sign you to a ten-game contract.” BTW, isn’t that Doug Wilson’s job?

Looks like
Boyle is gaining ground to be one of the faces of the franchise… I like the new look… But people are going to be PISSED that it’s Boyle and not Marleau opposite Jumbo on the main page… Thoughts?

Well...
First, it’s just a website. Second, if you take the average hockey fan (not necessarily a Sharks fan) and ask them who the most popular Sharks are, they’d probably say Thornton and Boyle. I don’t really see it as the organization looking down on Patty. That’s just my opinion though.

Patty's jersey
is also not on the top row of jerseys in the store. Joe, Boyle, Blake. Shelley and Nichol are. iirc. That got some comments yesterday, but I don’t know if Patty’s was hanging up there before to be honest. We’re all going to be reading into stuff right now, but i was curious about the selection of players featured on the site as well.

I remember going on the NHL online store a month ago and the only jerseys that were pre-customized were Thornton and Cheechoo. That definitely freaked me out a bit, since that was at the height of all the Marleau for Heatley rumors.

I think
Cheechoo and Thornton are the only one’s to have pre-customized jerseys is because they have super-star status. Well Cheechoo not so much anymore…
Last few times I’ve been to the Sharks store they’ve had several racks of Cheechoo jerseys. How sad.

Yeah, I still see a ton of Cheechoo jerseys for sale, which is kind of odd. Then again, I saw Matt Holiday shirts and jerseys for sale for a good week after he was traded away.
But Pavelski and Setoguchi are definitely gaining steam in the mall outlet sector, which is good.

But I believe Thornton just fed Heatley for a goal – that was disallowed.
Also, Boyle appears to be paired with…Pronger.

Yeah, the tail end of the Heatley/Thornton goal was all I saw before I got fed up with having to refresh the feed every five seconds. It looked like Marleau also got off the ice with them.
And I believe Boyle has been paired with Pronger the past few days.
Wooo, Patty and Joe! (For no reason other than I saw them standing).

I missed all of Marleau’s shootout attempt except for the part where the spotlight went on him, after which I guessed he made it.

Boyle, Marleau, and Thornton were all on screen at the same time in the handshake line. It made me happy.

And Big Joe truly is just a big kid. Even though my feed was not the greatest I could still make out that goofy grin as he shook hands and patted guys on the back.

Seriously
Just watching Joe, he looked like he was having so much fun out there. Marleau looked pretty serious (but what else is new?), and he was playing pretty well in the bits I was able to see. I saw almost nothing of Boyle, but I’m sure he’s as kick-ass as always. He’s probably also the closest thing to a lock the Sharks have on Team Canada, so it doesn’t matter as much.
And seeing that scrimmage makes me so excited for the new season, to see how much the guys want it and how the team will look together with all the new faces and Mitchell actually playing.

God I hate to admit I am wrong, but I was..Now that I really start to think about this deal, I like it more and more..Not only for the cap space, but more opportunities for the young guys..
