Enjoy.
In case you missed it last night, here's Ryane Clowe in the broadcast booth with Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper during the third inning of the San Francisco Giants game. Some interesting things discussed, such as shift lengths, the team he currently dislikes (SPOILER! It's Vancouver), and hockey injuries compared to baseball injuries.
Last night, Sharks defensemen Brent Burns (@Burnzie88) invited his followers on Twitter to join him on a bike ride Saturday morning at 10am. Yes, all of them. This includes you. All interested are to meet up at Mike's Bikes in Los Gatos at 10am on September 10. The current plan is to bike up Highway 9 to Saratoga. And Brent Burns continues on his (rather successful) quest to make himself a fan favorite before he even plays a single game in teal.
134 hockey players. 54 different trades. 13 free agent signings. An in-depth look - complete with chart! - at how the San Jose Sharks roster has been constructed.
I recommend giving the post a read just for the anecdote about Clowe and Kesler (as well as more detail about when each injury happened), but here's the injury report: Jason Demers - high ankle sprain Scott Nichol - laceration above the knee Dany Heatley - broken hand, high ankle injury Ryane Clowe - shoulder separation Dan Boyle - damaged MCL Logan Couture - broken nose Joe Pavelski - ankle injury Joe Thornton - broken pinkie, wrist problem, shoulder separation I think I speak for everyone when I say, "Ouch."
Women's ice hockey is still a rarity - especially in California, and especially at the collegiate level. One of the Fear the Fin writers tells of her experience going to a tournament in Vancouver as part of the USC women's club ice hockey team.
The Sharks come into a home-and-home series against the Phoenix Coyotes to end the season with little but individual accomplishments left to play for.

Recently there's been talk about hockey fan superiority complexes; i.e. if you haven't been a fan for a long time, you're not a real fan. Now what stereotypical group of people does that immediately bring to mind? Hipsters. Dirty, dirty hipsters. Thus, the Hipster Hockey Fan meme generator was created. So have at it, folks. Best image gets internet points.

I don't know about anyone else, but I , for one, was not born to be wild.
Today, Boyle decided to play. And there was much rejoicing. Also, the Rangers just got re-introduced to Douglas Murray. Haha.
I heard from a reliable source associated with the league who wishes to remain anonymous that the Ducks suck. (E5)

SAN JOSE - Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson has locked up team captain Joe Thornton with a three-year, $21 million contract extension that will keep the 2006 Hart and Art Ross Trophy winner in the Bay Area through the 2013-14 season. "Joe stepped up and made a tremendous commitment to this franchise, his teammates and the fans in San Jose," Wilson said. "We are very pleased that we now have another key piece of this team's core under contract for the next four seasons." Along with core players like Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski, Ryane Clowe, Dan Boyle, Douglas Murray, Dany Heatley and others, the Sharks have again ensured their most valued assets are under contract long term. Thornton’s commitment to his teammates as the team’s captain played a large role in the deal as the talented center once again relinquished several years of unrestricted free agency to stay in San Jose. Like several players earlier this summer, Thornton negotiated a contract that allows Wilson to keep many of the team’s other core pieces intact.
