The drumbeat isn’t quieting down when it comes
to those Patrick Marleau trade rumors. In fact, the
pace is picking up. So let me add this to the mix: An NHL source — not connected with either team — advises that the Sharks and ...
The Sharks will introduce Detroit Red Wings assistant
coach Todd McLellan as their next coach at a
Thursday morning news conference.
Todd McLellan didn’t have the mob scene welcoming
him to San Jose today that his predecessor had
to deal with in Toronto. Many of you saw the televised press conference on Comcast and I know some of you were amazed at how few questions were ...
FIRST, A LITTLE BREAKING NEWS: The Sharks are
expected to announce this afternoon that three players have
been re-signed: veteran forward Jeremy Roenick, back-up goalie Brian Boucher and center Joe Pavelski. More on that later. NOW, PICKING UP OUR ...
This is supposed to be the real off-season
now and, accordingly, The Boss has pretty much ordered
me NOT to do my job as much as possible for reasons that have nothing to do with hockey (so don’t take it personally) and everything to do with the ...
Passing along some additional post-game thoughts after that
3-2 OT victory over Ottawa, and then it’s off
to Chicago. *****************The Sharks were very much aware before their third-period comeback that both Dallas and Anaheim came up empty ...
Note to Sharks: You might want to think
about using private jets when you bring your more
recognizable coaching candidates to San Jose. Joel Quenneville arrived here on a United flight from Denver on Wednesday and it’s a safe bet that the ...
A blog item at OttawaSun.com earlier today said
that defenseman Brian Campbell has told the Sharks he
will not be returning, but General Manager Doug Wilson is strongly denying that is the case at all and says that negotiations are ...
So what’s the hold-up with restricted free agent
Ryane Clowe’s contract? Because what appeared to be a
done deal still isn’t done yet. I had conversations June 29 with both Clowe and Doug Wilson. Each said, yes, there’s an ...
A pretty routine practice today. Everybody healthy skating
except Jeremy Roenick, who gets the occasional day off
as the locker room elder at 38. But the routine days can produce some of the more interesting moments over the course of a season. Like ...
Normally, I like to think I’m above stirring
things up with the kind of baseless trade rumors
that permeate the hockey world. So I’m not doing that. Really. What I’m about to do is mention two things. The first is something you probably don’t ...
PHOENIX — It doesn’t happen often, but we
can end the suspense right now as far as
the Sharks’ starting lineup against the Coyotes tonight. Not only did Jonathan Cheechoo skip the morning skate, he didn’t even make the trip. ...
No surprises at the morning skate, at least
as far as I could tell. Christian Ehrhoff still
wasn’t skating, and Ryane Clowe was out there on the same line as yesterday with Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski. So let me relay a couple [...]
DALLAS — Everybody was on the same page
this morning. Talking positive, making it all sound pretty
simple for the Sharks to climb right back into this series tonight. “We’ve just got to put in our chances,” Joe Thornton said. ...
One quick bit of news to report: A
team spokesman tells me there’s no official report yet,
but it does not appear Milan Michalek was seriously injured by that Brenden Morrow hit as the third period came to an end. Michalek definitely had the ...
Well, my determination to give this a rest
lasted less than two days. Not my fault, though.
There were reports out of Toronto today that the Maple Leafs sought — and were denied — permission to talk to Doug Wilson about their vacancy in ...
As SoCalSharksGirl pointed out in one of the
comments, the folks in Columbus today challenged the credibility
of any specifics attached to any trade that would send Patrick Marleau to the Blue Jackets. Fine, well and good. Won’t get defensive. ...
The NHL hasn’t announced a format yet for
its 2008-09 schedule, so it’s hard to say at
this point whether the Sharks and Maple Leafs will face each other, let alone where or when. Still, Ron Wilson’s decision to take the Toronto job ...
All in all, Ron Wilson’s first sitdown with
the Toronto media as Maple Leafs coach seemed a
pretty amicable session. As many of you already know, the full 38-minute video is available on the Leafs’ web site or TSN.ca, but I can save you a ...
Looks as if there won’t be any bridge
between the Ron Wilson and Todd McLellan eras behind
the San Jose bench next season. Radio and newspaper reports in Toronto say that Tim Hunter and Rob Zettler will be joining Wilson’s staff, and a source here familiar with the situation confirms...


Marleau to Columbus? Ponder these particulars
