  • We sure do appreciate Blueshirt Banter's pick for the head of the Western Conference this season.
  • The new SB Nation.com site is up and running
  • [UPDATE] = Please welcome Anaheim Calling to the SB Nation fold.  Sleek's already rolled out the welcome mat.
  • The Sharks rookies swept the Ducks rookies with a 5-2 victory last night.  No word in the article about Michael D'Orazio's groin pull that left him unable to walk off the ice... Trust me, it wasn't pretty.
  • Here's a video of D'Orazio's goal, the first of the night.  Those chants of "RUDY!" refer to Daniel Erlich (#70), who stands at a lofty 5' 6''.
  • Michael D'Orazio's goal at San Jose Sharks rookie scrimmage (via dkeirsteadisback)


  • Speaking of 5' 6'' - Theo Fleury will soon know if he's coming back to the NHL.
  • Can't go wrong with a firetruck in a sinkhole (H/T to ang6666).
  • Adolf Hitler bitches about the Christian Ehrhoff trade.  Pure hilarity.

    I’ll be without internet for most of today, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t set my cell phone to receive Twitter updates from Mirtle and Resnik. Follow both of them here if you are so inclined:

    Should be an interesting two days in Phoenix. It’s amazing that this story may finally see an ending- before the first appeal, likely filed ten minutes after Baum’s decision tomorrow, of course.

    I have to say, from reading the comments there and from these last few months (couple months? how long has it been now) … all this Canada vs U.S. … it’s disgusting. Truly is.

    Hmm

    interesting rumor about Marleau. Must say, I hope it’s just the players talking about how they wish Patty were a Devil. I don’t think I would enjoy watching him play for New Jersey, and I don’t think he would enjoy being in New Jersey.

    Morti and I had the pleasure of talking to Dan Rusanowsky last night

    And he seemed genuinely unsure of what would happen in Phoenix today / tomorrow. He echoed what Morti and I were each thinking – that anything can happen.

    Morti got to talk Formula 1 and English football with the man, btw. I, on the other hand, got his alma mater wrong… I felt like Chris Farley talking to Paul McCartney (“STUPID, STUPID!!”).

    and I bring up F1 and Football. “Stupid, Stupid!”

    Also, I feel even stupider I didnt let Dan elaborate on what went down on the bus ride to Philly.

    Could Patrick Marleau be headed to the New Jersey Devils?

    Nope, now he’s going to the Kings…say what?

    Somehow

    I don’t see DW trading Marleau in-division. Marleau would turn out to be the ultimate Shark-killer, which would be made worse by having to play him 6 times a season.

    by Chicago Shark on Sep 10, 2009 1:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

    True

    But if DW feels Marleau’s gotta go, and that the only way to convince him to wave his no-trade clause is if he’s still on the West Coast (for family’s sake), then it might be more likely.

    Honestly though, I’m not believing anything until it happens… even if I put it in Off the Post for discussion’s sake. Heh….

    But it’s all speculation on what DW feels. All these rumors are just that … rumors. DW hasn’t said a damn thing other than he hasn’t asked Marleau to waive his no-trade clause.

    Nugget from TSN's live blog of the proceedings
    11:44am = Telecommunications company AT & T has filed an objection over money it is owed. Judge Baum says that he owns stock in AT & T and can’t hear the evidence – and jokes that he should remove himself from the hearing!

    Conjecture

    Does anyone else get the feeling that the NHL secretly wants the Phoenix Coyotes to move, knowing that a team in Hamilton will almost instantly turn into a cash cow – and that they (the NHL) are stuck in the position of secretly wanting this while being obligated to fight against it both for consistency’s sake as well as the pride of Bettman?

    Let’s face it – the NHL is a business, and regardless of how you feel about the potential relocation of the Yotes (I’m against it), Hamilton will surely be more profitable for the league’s coffers.

    If this point has been brought up before (I suspect it has somewhere, in some form), I apologize. I’m just in the mood to inspire debate.

    If the NHL wants it, I’m sure it will happen. But the owners clearly do not want Balsillie. And again, I think this whole CA vs US is a ridiculous way to go about drawing lines. All it does it makes enemies of out those who love the same sport.

    Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

    by ang6666 on Sep 10, 2009 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

    But the owners clearly do not want Balsillie.

    This is the key sticking point here. The owners ARE the League, and Bettman’s job is to be their voice in matters like this. Bettman may have some personal stake in it, but right now (and barring owners starting to speak out in favor of the move), his word is essentially that of the League and it’s member clubs.

    Now, you can follow my uninteresting life on Twitter.

    by Nael M. on Sep 10, 2009 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

    Also, I'd add to that

    The other owners, specifically those in the vicinity (Toronto, Buffalo) will all voice their concerns. As will those west coast teams that just got 6,000 miles added on to their travel time. The league has to answer to all these guys. How can it be justified?

    Right now I think it’s easier for the league to deal with one pissed off “bidder” than a league of pissed of GM’s

    The Devin Setoguchi signing

    Was super swift – I got there at 3:45 and the line was wrapped well around the building. It started at 4:30pm, and I had my autograph and photo with Devin done by 5:25pm. I was #123, and each number was good for 1-2 people, meaning they got through about 240 people in less than an hour. When I left the line was almost empty.

    If you’re reading this and live 5-10 minutes from the Tank, GO GO GO!!! Closes at 6:30pm.
