Sharks: Captain’s Practice Etc
(Originally posted on Kukla’s Korner)
I took a little tour of South Bay ice rinks this morning… afternoon. Despite being on the wrong side of the Bay for convenience, both destinations provided what I was looking for. A tour was not what I had planned, it just worked out that way and it’s how I trick myself into driving all over hell and gone.
The skate was a little late getting started at Sharks Ice, which gave me time to wonder if, after many trips to this rink, I was actually wrong about where the unofficial not mandatory and coachless practice-like activity would be taking place. I had the trusty tweet from David Pollak telling me south rink but the rinks are not labelled. (more…)
Quite Contrary
I don’t know if I would have noticed Mike Commodore in all the hustle and bustle of a hockey season, had he not been the target of extensive and loud heckling from Sharks fans during a game. That didn’t make much sense to me. He wasn’t doing anything especially troublesome (for the Sharks). He kept taking penalties, which, if you are a Sharks fan and he’s playing on the other team, is more to be applauded than criticized. (more…)

I know I can be like a dog with a bone sometimes, well, most of the time, but when I saw this tweet, I wasn’t thinking of Pronger:
I was thinking about Leighton and the fact that he had the same sort of surgery last Fall. See, Leighton isn’t Pronger, so even if they had the same surgery, it wasn’t viewed the same way by fans and the media.

Sharks: Burns Likes Us, He Really Likes Us
I know I said I would focus on the Flyers here but the Flyers aren’t doing anything and the Sharks are. So here’s my post from Kukla’s Korner this morning:
Burns signed a 5 year extension with the San Jose Sharks. Wow. I want to say that’s very Pisces of him, a “just do it” attitude like that. Alrighty then. (I just knew that if I started this morning’s blog entry out with “Sharks haven’t made any big announcements,” they would do something. Yeah, I meant to do that.) (more…)
