Hey it's really almost hockey season again. Fantasy Hockey is already up and running. Training camp and preseason are just around the corner. Then we'll get to see how the lines and d-pairings will really shape up instead of all the conjecture (which is absolutely fun don't get me wrong).

But this thread is to talk about non-hockey stuff. Fantasy Football is here and I'm freaking worried out of my mind. I have been paying no attention this offseason, no mock drafts, very little research done as of yet. * EEP *. But all is not lost! The Niners are gonna roll out this QB who was the 1st pick overa- oh it's Alex Smith. Still.

Never mind.

Been about a week and no one's made one so here we go. There's been a lot of on-topic activity with all the trade madness. Kinda interesting that the team's gone under such significant changes when DW has only been looking for "tweaks more than an overhaul."

[Editor's Note]: DownRUPLYB has a great piece about his experience attending a Worcester Sharks game. Be sure to check it out.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd chime in on my recent trip to see the Baby Sharks. I apologize for the essay ahead of time. I also won't go too much into the details of the game itself - Darryl Hunt's got that avenue covered. I'm here more to relate the vibe that I got from the whole experience.

Before I go into it though, I just want to send a shout-out to Darryl, Rich and Josie who were nice enough to welcome us San Jose Sharks fans in Worcester. Rich and Josie are husband and wife who lead the Worcester Sharks Booster Club (see also www.worcestersharks.org) and were instrumental in bringing the AHL back to Worcester after the IceCats left. And as some of you may know, Darryl is the beat writer for Worcester on Sharkspage. Rich was even nice enough to provide us complimentary tickets to the game which was greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond in welcoming us to Worcester and they deserve a great amount of thanks.

Kinda OT, but I'm scheduled to visit Boston in two weeks and I'd like to catch some hockey while I'm there. Unfortunately, I don't have the luck to have my trip coincide with a Sharks visit in Boston and the B's aren't in town anyway.

So next best thing: Go to a Worcester Sharks game. Considering the extent of the SJ-Woostah Shuttle, there's gonna be a lot of familiar faces on the ice and I'm really looking forward to watching the Sexy/Stalock show (man that sounds wrong).

Just wondering if anyone else here has ever been, including the best way on getting there from Boston. I've never been to Boston before so any other advice or recommendations are also welcome! Thanks!
