Off the Post - November 22

[UPDATE] - The NHL suspends Danny Briere for 2 games for his hit on Scott Hannan... is it just me, or has he been a little violent lately?
[UPDATE, thanks to Section223] - Don't expect Torrey Mitchell tomorrow... and Dan Boyle is questionable.
[UPDATE, thanks to Tarlinian, Pizzle and Section223] - Torrey Mitchell is back from Worcester, though he might not be in Wednesday.
[UPDATE, thanks to idunno723] - Benn Ferriero, Ryan Vesce, and Logan Couture are headed back to Worcester.
[UPDATE, thanks to Nael M.] - The Sharks might be in Europe next season... dammit.
Wooooo! We're #1!
This day in history...

How awesome is this photo? Thanks to the Sharks Foundation and the Reading Is Cool program.

Three Sharks are in the top 7 for the early Art Ross race, while Dany Heatley in particular leads the pack in the Rocket Richard run-off (granted, A.O. is injured) and in PP goals, and is tied for first in game-winning goals.
Two Sharks fun facts = Heatley finds the back of the net one out of four times he shoots, and Derek Joslin, believe it or not, actually leads the league in something.
Ross McKeon's power rankings return.
Mirtle calculates the number of NHL man-games lost to injury, and San Jose comes in at 13th.
Fear the Fin - ranked 17th among hockey blogs.
Dallas Stars winger James Neal gets suspended for 2 games after hitting Derek Dorsett from behind. Dorsett's collapse is chilling to watch.
Jeremy Roenick shoots the shit, including referencing the Neal hit.
The NHL eyes a second team in the Greater Toronto Area.
The national teams pining for Olympic gold.
Steven Stamkos provides a goal for the ages, against the Anaheim Ducks... a shame it wasn't televised in Tampa. (Note - Stamkos also has points in all but 4 games this season)
Road trip photos, if you're interested.
Pickles' first fight.... ever.
