Don't like the way the Sharks ended the Olympic break period tonight against the Sabers.

I was talking to Scott Nichol's wife today. Scotts son Hayden is on the same team as my son. She was saying that he knew it was comming. The team made the effort to find him a home and not release him on waivers. Speaking of that did you see Chechoo got put on waivers and Cleared them. YIKES! Only 5 goals in 61 games.

I'm glad Shelley is somewhere where he is wanted. I used to hate that guy especially after the hit he put on Brad Stuart years ago, but he became a favorite once he joined.

As for Cheech, I don't know what happened but he has become garbage. I would love to pick him up off waivers but his contract makes it impossible. I believe its 3 mil a year.

And how cool is it to be friends with Nichol's wife, I wish we had 10 of him on this team, hopefully his grit will make the playoff run more fruitfull

Shelley is a super nice guy. My niece was at the rink last year when he was hurt and stayed behind on a road trip. He got her out on the ice and let her skate with him. She got to shot on the goaltender, and he even gave her a stick and signed it. He is a really nice guy. Eirhoff on the other hand. That guy is a friggin Dbag. I was glad to see him go. I saw him pull some crap at the rink a few times.

The issue with Staubitz though is he is not a heavyweight. You are not going to see him taking on the Boogie man or Pharros etc. So now the Sharks dont have that true enforcer if the need him. Remember Brantt Myhres? Talk about a friggin goon! man I loved that guy.

As to Nichol's wife she and he are great people. He is the nicest guy off the ice, soft spoken unassuming you would never know he is an NHLer. Its great when he comes out and helps us coach the kids. We always joke around like we are giving him advice on skating Hayden is a great kid also.
