You don’t have to like somebody as a player to understand that they’re a person. That’s important to remember here. The NHL couldn’t bring itself to accept that the fans had used the vote to game the system and vote in a guy who, under normal circumstances, shouldn’t be within 1000 miles of the […]

Aloha! Long time no update. I think I was lulled into a partial coma by that game against the Devils and only just now fully recovered. (Seriously, I thought the Wild were boring but the Devils take the cake). Anyway, we have some news to announce. No, not the new dates for the heritage jerseys, […]

Holy Hockey Gods, the Sharks are ROLLING! Sure it’s only the third game of the season, but they’re looking good. I know, I know, the Sharks have had good starts before, and it’s only October and they suck in the playoffs and blahblahblah, LET ME ENJOY THIS, OK?! The Sharks look good. They look fast […]

Well, it didn’t go as planned, BUT, we did get a few entries, maybe even as many as 5 (including mine, 7 if we add 2 that didn’t qualify), so judging must begin! I’ll be sending all the entries to Brodie Brazil himself to review, so please be patient. Until he gives us his […]

Kane, Varlamov, Voynov, all reprehensible cases of DV (or possible rape) in the NHL. It’s disgusting that the league has chosen not to take a stand on these issues, but we the fans still can help. Below is a list of shelters and services for victims of domestic violence and rape in the Bay Area. […]

Hey there Brodie Brazil fans! As you know, we (the royal we, since this blog is currently just I, but whatever, we sounds better) announced THIS TOTALLY AWESOME CONTEST on the second of September. The prize, though not listed, are real. The chance to have fun, is real. The lack of entries is also, sadly very […]

This article hit the internets earlier today, suggesting, not entirely unreasonably, that it is time to give Logan Couture a letter. He was trotted out last summer as a potential new leadership guy, and while we all thought Pavelski would get the C, it looked like he and Vlasic would get the A, thus completing […]

Listen! Do you smell that? That’s the sound of Sharks hockey swiftly approaching, and true to off season form, the Sharks have decided to change a few things up. Most notably, their goal song. For years it’s been Rock and Roll part two by Gary Glitter, but that’s about to change. Mr. Glitter is not […]

Mina and I were recently discussing how sentimentality affects our ability to rationalize and accept player trades. While neither of us would like to see Joe Thornton traded, for example, losing Patrick Marleau to a trade would be far worse. That might not bear out statistically speaking, but from a sentimentality stand point, it’s true. The […]

In what has become a yearly reminder that there are, in fact, fates worse than death, then NHL Awards show aired tonight in what is one of the most painful faux celebrations of sport the world has ever not seen. When you long for the days of the awards being some kitchy Canadian affair, you […]

What’s a month between posts, eh? Anyway, while I was busy living the high flying, jet setting, sweet blogger life style, the Blackhawks won the Cup, ousting the Lightning, (whom I favored) in six games. The Sharks also made some news, none of it involving a fight between teammates or Joe Thornton and Doug Wilson […]

For the past few days, I’ve been trying to decide how I feel about the Sharks hiring Peter DeBoer as their new coach. I’ve settled on, “well, at least it’s not Randy Carlyle,” because that really is the best summary of my feelings. I’m not too sure what to expect from DeBoer given all the […]

First up, some minor notes: Hey, did you notice this today? Comic on DOY! Haven’t posted much of late, been busy busting blogger stereotypes from not my basement, but I have been keeping track of the Sharks, uh, moves. I’ll be disappearing come November, on account of having a newborn to care for, so I’ll […]

Sharks, I just, I can’t. I just can’t. I can’t even. I don’t know about you anymore. You aren’t making the summer easy. I didn’t think you would, but it’s almost like you’re trying to drive me away. While we all knew change, much like winter, was coming, letting Todd walk seems like a bad […]
