Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
FTF was fun back when Plankdude was running the place.
Go take a look at The Royal Half's dig at the Sharks.
Due to one game being blacked out, I am now all caught up - woohoo!
Last one for tonight.
I really have no excuse for my tardiness.
I'm playing catch-up.
It's one of the toughest jobs in all of sports. The pressure is intense and there's no such thing as a moral victory. Succeed, and people will cheer you -- then forget you in a few hours. But fail, and you could be mocked by fans forever. Interesting article on those we see at every game.
Also throwing out a West Side Story link since someone has to.
Yes! I'm not late. This is also not your West Side Story. This is so much more than that. It's life and death; it's hockey!
Welcome back Teemu! So sorry for delay - job searching can take up alot of your free time.
Hackett debut - making goalies look good!
Making goalies look good!
Early new year's resolution - try to be timely with these.
I am slowing catching up to my backlog. :)
Enjoy! And yes, I realize there is someone else doing else doing all of these, but until I'm directed by those in charge to stop, I'll continue what I'm scheduled to do. :)
Sorry for the delay ... I need to stop having a life. :)
Sorry for the delay ...
Wow what a fight!
Without much fanfare - okay it's movie night here with my boys, here you go ...
You'll be seeing these double-posted here and over at BoC. I'm doing a handful of these for the Sharks games (and Jets) this season. There are still many more Sharks games that they could use...
So I'm a bit late getting this in and with my hectic schedule tonight, just posting the tables - enjoy!
Thought you guys might find this interesting - it includes pics and vids.
Hop over and you'll see the Sharks are in the dark as far as this project is concerned. With all those that comment here, there must be someone or someones that have time to help out. Since I would never ask another what I'm not willing to do myself, yes, I plan on volunteering myself. All you need is Game Center or Center Ice with DVR. So come on everyone, let's not leave the Sharks the last man (or team) standing.
This is very cool. Sorta like what our own Mr K and Zero have done, visiting other hockey arenas, this guy is doing the same and rating them.
I love watching hockey. The speed of the game, the hits, the goals, the saves. The sound of the slicks slapping the pucks, the sound of the puck when it bounces off the board. Awesome. What...
Interesting look (from a Ducks' fan perspective) of how the numbers falls.
Sharks vs Kings! You know you want to go.
In case you haven't hopped over to "Behind the Net" before, he is into numbers over there. Go check it out and give your thoughts on where Marleau will end up points-wise for this upcoming season.
Joe Thornton has fallen hard for the San Jose lifestyle. And that's funny considering he didn't even think it was possible for him to be here in the first place. Nothing would make me happier.
But Scott Nichol, a checking center now with the San Jose Sharks, has staked his own claim as an elite faceoff performer. Always nice to see something about our guys on the NHL site.
