I take the point, and another point is that Burke isn't the best drafter. But those names don't take into account good late first round choices, and there's usually one or two every year.

HaHa I love this commercial. Anyone else have any good local commercials for your team?

Sundin retires

I think most people saw this coming but it still sucks to actually hear the news.

Rob Blake was announced the new captain of the Sharks today. Joe Thornton and Dan Boyle will get the A's. I'm pretty disappointed in this actually. Blake will probably not be back next season and a captain, IMO, should be a long term deal. It shouldn't switch up every season. But the Sharks seem content to put forth everything they have for this season and seem to be turning a blind eye to anything past this year. I hope it pays off but I'm more nervous for the team in general today than I was yesterday. Yeah, Blake has more hockey experience than anyone else on the team but I just don't think he's the right choice. Then again, I don't think they should have taken the C from Marleau in the first place.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been more activity in this thread. I know it's just October hockey, running against MLB playoffs and the NFL, but I'm still surprised.

Did anyone catch the Pens-Flyers game last night? It was pretty fun to watch, even with some flukey stuff (the Flyer's own goal) and the nastiness of the last 2 seconds. Hartnell apparently bit Kris Letang's finger, and Richards ran into Fleury after a shot. I'll still take a win, though.

Flyer fan living in Caps territory here, so unless it's on the Versus channel, I can't watch most games.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I wonder how many live games are carried on the NHL network weekly. thinking I know that I've watched some out of region games there (Detroit-Montreal comes to mind), and I wonder if they'd put a fairly big match up there, in addition to local cable.

I didn't see the Pens/Flyers game but I heard about the biting incident.

Now, how about this goal by Backstrom?

So San Jose raised three banners on their home opener this year.
President's Trophey winners: That's obvious.
Pacific Division Champs: Yeah, that's OK I guess. Even if the first one implies the 2nd...


Really Sharks? Even I find this ridiculous. Especially with the President's Trophy banner right next to it.

The only banners that should be raised anywhere are Stanley Cup Championship banners.

In other news, the Leafs are killing me.

The Kicker is that the Leafs probably traded away Taylor Hall (aka the 1st overall pick of 2010) for Phil Kessel.

Nice job, Burkie!

Ummm, I think it's kinda early to say that the Leafs will "probably" come last in the league.
