- Team Teal's final cuts and the captaincy await...
- Sharks sign goaltender Thomas Heemskerk to an entry-level contract.

- Ten of the New York Rangers, including Marian Gaborik and Sean Avery, will be on David Letterman tonight doing the Top 10.

Man, Milan Lucic is a beast at fighting.
According to Hockeyfights.com votes he went 9-1-1 in his fights last year. Watch his fights they’re ridiculous.
Had him on my fantasy team last year, and that’s why I drafted him again this year. Don’t mess with Milan Lucic, ask Chris Neil. Take it easy man, it’s only a preseason game!

I dare you to tell him he looks like a sissy in yellow.

Joe Pavelski: "Yeah, definitely."
TM is a bad actor
JR should’ve shown him the ropes before he left. Also, those guys over there at the Sens blog are basically creaming their pants about Cheech. They’re saying that alongside Spezza he’ll make a run at 50 goals again… This is an obvious question, but have they watched any Sharks games since 2006? I’m guessing not, otherwise they would realize that even with his limited time with Joe post-Richard, he did not come close to approaching 50 goals.
Delusions of Cheechoo grandeur indeed.
Ugh two things I hate in life are working together now… the Ducks and sushi… What next? Nancy Pelosi and Rush Limbaugh are going to have an affair?

Well considering she was born only half human and half pure evil, she never ovulated due to her evil ethnicity. If she claims to have had children, I call shenanigans.

that Cheechoo article is extremely weird
By leaving San Jose, Cheechoo now embarks on an actual chance to win the coveted Stanley Cup – a feat in doubt in San Jose with Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau who seem to ‘curl up in fetal positions’ during post-season play, according to most analysts
the author honestly thinks that?

Seriously, it’s not like the Sens have a reputation of choking in the playoffs. Oh, wait a minute…

The best part
is that they think he actually has a better chance of winning in Ottawa than in San Jose… did they even make the playoffs last year?

i’d say it’s highly doubtful, they’re trying to make a statement abotu a new team direction. but no it’s not official.

Yeah I don’t think there’s any way he keeps it. I’d be surprised if he even gets an A actually…

I stand by my theory that all leadership will be on the blue line this year.
C Boyle
A Blake, Murray
Joe and Patty enjoy just being players.
I agree with that
The captain will NOT be a forward – I’d bet 10:1.
Not sure that it’s Blake and Murray, but I’d love for that to be the case. Don’t need any Canadian media debating why San Jose likes messing with forwards heads by keeping Joe an “A” while Patty isn’t.
People in San Jose are probably refreshing WTC more often today than a Radiohead fan at 10am on Ticketmaster.

Two guys making roughly 13.5 M between them and neither wears a letter? I don’t think that happens, but I’ve obviously been wrong before.
C- Boyle
A- Thornton
A- Pavelski
That’s who I want, but I think Joe and Boyle are locks. The final spot could be Blake or Murray for all I know.

Patty should wear "FU" instead
or is there a rule against that?

Joe Pavelski: "Yeah, definitely."
Someone PLEASE
make a photoshop of this.

Agreed. Imo, Marleau should still have the C.

What’s left to speculate about for the rest of the year now?
Heatley was traded.
Sundin retired.
Forsbergs’ foot is already broken.
Final Olympic rosters I guess?
Whether or not the Sharks will “choke” in the first or second round this year.

Not until the Sharks fuck up
That seems to be the only time anyone pays any attention to thm.
Now, you can follow my uninteresting life on Twitter.

I like
but it would’ve been nice to see a more “long term” captain selection since he only has a one year contract…
Coyotes case came to a decision...
Judge Baum threw out both the Balsille and NHL bids. H/T to Puck Daddy
Now, you can follow my uninteresting life on Twitter.
Going up on in the list
Thanks for the update – I’ll give you credit.

After I get off work tomorrow
I’ll be hustling my ass over to George and Walt’s on College Ave. in Oakland. Should make it in time for the third period.
Go Semmy! Can’t wait to catch him on Center Ice.

Kinda OT
But you know the whole “Next 5 Games” and “Last 5 Games” widget on the sidebar? Well, because of the preseason, the “Last 5 Games” no longer chronicles the utter fail that was the Ducks series. That is cause for celebration.
