Hey, Amici's! You Suck!

The Sharks are now 7-5-2 (W-L-T) on the season and appear to be playing well.  But I don't care to talk about that.  I expect them to play well.

The Jack-in-the-Box Taco Minute has become the Jack-in-the-Box Taco Minutes!  I made it clear at the beginning of the season how I felt about the promotion as it was first presented.  Now, there is something to add: The crowd took to booing the announcement of the Taco Minute, which was announced during the last TV time-out of the second period of each game.  People of the Arena, I thank you for booing this awful promotion and our voices, apparently, have been heard!

Becoming Wild: Episode 4

This is an awesome episode!  I have now officially seen more of Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi as Wild than I ever saw of them as Sharks.

Becoming Wild: Episode 3

Heatley and Setoguchi make appearances at the end, shopping for apartments.  Exciting!

Episode Two @ Hockey Wilderness

Episode One @ Hockey Wilderness

This is an interesting look into the Minnesota Wild organization in 30 min. episodes. Similar to Oil Change featuring the Edmonton Oilers. Both teams have been in the bottom of the Western Conference for the past few seasons and are relying heavily on the the draft and the development of young players. I find this one slightly more interesting because of 1) the shorter run-time and 2) the imminent introduction of several Sharks players, namely Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi, and Charlie Coyle.

I'm curious to see what use the Wild will make of Charlie Coyle. I don't know how close to the NHL he was in the Sharks franchise, but I'd put money on him being a whole lot closer now! I watched a couple games of the World Juniors and was excited to see him tied for the point-scoring lead on Team U.S.A. The things I hear/read about him are "coaches love him," "you have to kick him out of the weight room," and "you have to chase him off the ice." I was really looking forward to seeing this guy as a Shark one day.

Brent Burns, I really hope you are not a chiseling bastard and you sign with the Sharks before the end of the calendar year. Also for not a ridiculous amount of money.

Doug Wilson, you are The Man. I have all the faith in the world you will bitch slap Burns' agent and make him eat his own cell phone.
