Posted Sunday August 23, 2009, About: Sharks strip Marleau, Thornton of captain's honors

I'm still waiting for this team make a deal for a real player. One tough guy. Who cares? And signing some old guy like JR won't help either. Heatley? A disgruntled "trade me or else" player. Why would we want someone like that who clearly plays for himself? The whole roster should have been blown up. They will never win the cup anyway. I'm not even sure I'll be watching them this year. It's a waste of time.

Singletary says he understands because he held out twice, but he's in the HOF. Only place Crabtree is going is the hall of shame. I hope he sits out & goes undrafted next year. Of course he could always join the arena league....Oh wait.LOL

Posted Tuesday July 21, 2009, About: Sharks circling Heatley?

Personally I wish the Sharks would trade Thornton, Marleau & Michalek. All underachievers. The best team in the league last year, & embarrassed in the first round. Soft, soft, soft. Heatley scores, but so what? We need a power forward, like when we had Nolan. So what does Wilson do? Trades for some 4th liner who won't play in the playoffs. Big whoop. When one of our stars gets knocked down in the playoffs, like Michalek against Edmonton, nobody steps up. This trade won't change that. Let him stay in Ottawa.
