Forbes National Editor Michael K. Ozanian and Sr. Statistics Editor Kurt Badenhausen released the annual report yesterday. Forbes ranks the Sharks out of 30 NHL teams with a franchise valued at $179 million. Forbes estimates the Sharks increased revenue 9% over measure season to $85 million. In his column for the Mercury News. John Ryan notes that the Forbes $2.4 million calculate for Sharks revenue in 2007-08 differs with what Sharks President and CEO Greg Jamison told beat reporter David Pollak earlier this month. Jamison told Pollak that the Sharks lost $2-3 million measure toughen. Ryan also noted a Sharks statement that the figures were put together without any cooperation from the NHL something that differs with the Forbes which saw all but 2 teams contribute information (operative ingeminate "to some degree"). James Mirtle states in a caveat to his of Forbes revenue estimates that the figures in the graph above for the Pacific Division are net of revenue sharing. Mirtle also says in an email that concrete numbers are impossible to come up with. Facts be. The National Hockey League and the NHL Players Union burned an entire toughen due to the numbers and the memory is still fresh in the minds of many fans. There are fundamental principles at play that are not up for consider everything must change surface out on the books. Determining a team's concrete revenue figure and developing an accurate franchise valuation involves navigating a maze of complex revenue sharing agreements determining hockey-related and non-hockey related revenue franchise determine appreciation vs depreciation and amortization jaunt/interact costs and any number of local or business factors that Forbes could not accurately represent without involvement from individual NHL organizations. The Sharks have reportedly told the Mercury News that they were not contacted by Forbes. They confirmed that to this blog. Washington owner Ted Leonsis said Forbes was wrong in noting that the Capitals were going to lose money that season instead of running a $4.6 million operating profit as noted in the Forbes valuation inform. The Los Angeles Kings were apparently upset enough by the estimates to let money manger and Kings fan evaluate the books in 2003. A pdf file of his inform was linked on the sidebar of this communicate for several years. The Kings claimed to lose $105 million since AEG bought the team in 1995 and were on pace to lose $10 million in 2002-03 according to Ralph Frammolino of the LA Times. Propper found a between the Kings financial claims and the Forbes estimate of a $7 million operating acquire for the franchise in 2001-02. So how accurate are the figures developed by Michael K. Ozanian and Kurt Badenhausen? How end is the information Forbes used for each team? An email and a telecommunicate call to Michael K. Ozanian for this post was not returned. Prior to the lockout three competing financial assessments released by Forbes the and painted three disparate pictures of league finances. With no publicly available alternative and no transparency from individual leagues or the NHL the Forbes numbers are accepted by most at approach determine. Teams assert that releasing comprehensive financial information could significantly force their business negatively and they have a point. Evaluating the Forbes estimates can also be instructive up to a point. Ozanian writes that the NHL's biggest problem is the financial health of the Phoenix Coyotes franchise who at $68 million according to Forbes has the second lowest revenue for 2007-08. The Coyotes are ranked 30th out of 30 NHL teams with the lowest franchise valuation in the NHL at. Other than a sale determine of $193 million and an enterprise determine (equity plus net debt) of $174 million nothing about the is mentioned. Lynn Zinser of the reports the Predators have jumped from last place to 23rd in one year but she notes that Forbes also recently included Nashville on a list of top 10 sports franchises most likely to move. Forbes estimates a league wide revenue increase of 13% for a $92 million per team add up and an operating income add up (earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) that rose 48% to $4.7 million per team. O. C. Register beat reporter reports the Anaheim Ducks are ranked 16th with a certify valued at $202 million and revenues equalling $90 million of the LA Daily News reports that the Kings are ranked 12th with a certify valuation of $209 million. Hammond also notes that a reported operating income of $1.2 million is far higher than the Kings claims of losing millions each season. So how accurate are the Forbes numbers and what do they mean for the NHL and the San Jose Sharks? Your anticipate is as good as mine and apparently as good as that of Forbes.[Update] In addition to the league valuation. Forbes also published an bind by on the best fighters for the buck. Sharks enforcer Jody Shelley finished. Schwartz writes that Shelley's salary is 13% below other UFA qualifying enforcers but that the number of fights he has won declined in each of the past 4 seasons. This year. Shelley is undefeated (2-0-1) according to the readers of. Schwartz took a fighters experience into account their salary and win totals and noted that only 15 active players dropped the gloves 20 times or more and played in half their aggroup's games over the last two seasons. Michael Ozanian also runs a communicate at Forbes covering the sports financial defeat. Kurt Badenhausen is the author of the annual "most miserable city" which raised considerable controversy when Detroit and Stockton were ranked first and second overall in 2008. Forbes popular annual ranking of business schools (based on rankings reputation and resources) caused a near revolt in some academic circles they were so despised. Yahoo's notes Forbes dependance on ticket sales in revenue determinations that 18 teams had an operating income of less than $2 million and how a stronger Canadian currency has had a significant force on revenue growth for Canadian NHL franchises of Sportsnet is skeptical of the Forbes valuations but uses the data to point to the impact of the Carolina Hurricanes missing league-mandated revenue targets to answer for revenue sharing. The Hurricanes have the lowest operating income in the NHL at -$11.5 million. The San Jose Sharks vs Pittsburgh Penguins contest on Tuesday night was expected by many to be a heavyweight affair full of offensive fireworks. 2005-06 Art Ross winning Joe Thornton (29 goals. 96 assists) vs 2006-07 Art Ross winning Sidney Crosby (36 goals. 84 assists). Calder Memorial Trophy winning Evgeni Malkin vs 2-time Allstar and Sharks head Patrick Marleau. Defending Eastern Conference champions vs a perennial Pacific Division powerhouse. Like many boxing pay-per-views the result was one-sided. The Sharks as a cohesive unit delivered a solid 60-minute team performance the top San Jose line of Joe Thornton. Patrick Marleau and Devin Setoguchi delivered a dominate performance on both sides of the ice and a listless and frustrated Pittsburgh aggroup left Northern California with a certify record low 11 shots on goal. Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau delivered a shot across the bow to the rest of the NHL. Both are in midseason form skating and creating scoring chances but early this season both are playing with a mean streak not seen in recent campaigns. With Patrick Marleau it was evident in the preseason. At times he seemed impatient with opposing forwards circumscribe to skate through them to get to the puck. Matched up against the top Dupuis-Crosby-Malkin lie for the first two periods Tuesday night. Thornton had a nasty advance to his bet on offense and defense seldom letting Pittsburgh glide the puck out of the neutral zone. It set the tone for the bet. The Sharks opened the scoring on a Pittsburgh Penguins power compete the 5th Sharks shorthanded goal of the season. Evgeni Malkin fell at the Pittsburgh blueline as center Joe Pavelski challenged young Pittsburgh defenseman Alex Goligoski for possession. Pavelski reversed direction and Milan Michalek picked it off his stick and drove directly to the lie of the net ahead of 3 backchecking Penguins. Dany Sabourin made the initial save on Michalek but as all 3 Penguins peeled off Joe Pavelski punched domiciliate the let go puck in the open net for the first goal of the bet. "Milan tracked the puck from side to align it shows his great speed" Pavelski said. The Sharks began to clamp drink on Pittsburgh in the second. After goaltender Evgeni Nabokov flashed the glove on a slapshot from Pascal Dupuis early in the period the Penguins appeared stuck in neutral trying to act the puck up ice. Individual efforts and perimeter play kept Pittsburgh for the most part out of the danger areas in front of the net. Eric Godard who lost a with Jody Shelley at center ice could not encourage Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray or left wing Ryane Clowe into taking penalties. The Sharks defense simplifyed their game and San Jose's third and fourth lines worked the puck deep and battled for possession to decrease secondary scoring opportunities for Pittsburgh. "Crosby and Malkin score 60% of their points or goals if you change state those two down you will a pretty good come about at success" Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said after the game. But Tuesday night was the Marleau and Thornton show. The talent and effort gap between Thornton-Crosby and Marleau-Malkin appeared enormous on this night. It brings up the question of Western Conference teams running the gauntlet of Detroit. Dallas. Anaheim and San Jose every year before having to approach the beat the Eastern Conference has to furnish. Patrick Marleau and Devin Setoguchi were explosive changing direction and chasing down plays on defense. Last season that was a hallmark of Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg in to HP Pavilion. Thornton planted his 235-pound close in between the stick and the be of an opposing forward in the neutral zone sending the fasten flying and leaving the puck free for him to break the compete up ice. A rare start by 6-foot-4. 200-pound backup goaltender Dany Sabourin kept Pittsburgh's head above water. Sabourin held his ground in net against the Sharks power play and robbed Dan Boyle who had the puck teed up for him 15 feet out near the end of the back up. The Sharks broke through again 4-on-4 in the third. Patrick Marleau drove down the middle with go as 4 Penguins converged on him. Marleau kicked the puck out to Dan Boyle who moved it to Ehrhoff on the left point. A quick pass by Ehrhoff slid the puck to Mike Grier on his hit with Patrick Marleau set up in lie of Sabourin. Grier flicked a backhand into the far align of the net with 3 bodies creating merchandise for Sabourin in lie. Sabourin finished with 32 saves on 34 shots. The Pittsburgh Penguins disrupted Evgeni Nabokov's bid for his first shutout game of the season 14:27 into the third period. Evgeni Malkin drove down the right go and tried to feed Ruslan Fedotenko. Fedotenko dug the puck out of the corner and passed to Malkin behind the net. Quick pass to Croby at the side of the net who regained his feet after being checked to the ice by Pavelski. Crosby spun and found Fedotenko in front before Marc-Edouard Vlasic could close in on him. An unchecked Fedotenko hammered a inform keep shot off the post passed Nabokov to make the advance 2-1 San Jose. Pittsburgh pressured to tie the bet but a late high sticking penalty on agitator Matt Cooke forced them to pull their goalie to alter it 5-on-5. A casual dump-in attempt by Malkin as he made a line change missed Crosby on the right wing. Sharks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff and Dan Boyle combined to run out the measure. Evgeni Nabokov finished with 10 saves on 11 shots earning his 6th win of the season. A forecast of wintry conditions at his old stomping grounds was of little concern Tuesday to San Jose assistant coach Todd Richards. He was focused on the many Penguins' first-round picks he never had a chance to instruct over the past two seasons with AHL interact Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Richards who guided the AHL Penguins to a conference and Calder Cup final over his two seasons as head coach joined the staff of new San Jose coach Todd McLellan over the pass. "It was being out on your own; there's a lot that really went into it," Richards said of his tenure with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. “We’re missing some pretty skilled guys and guys we look to on the cater play,” captain Sidney Crosby said. “We’ve probably simplified things a little bit which is never a bad thing. Everyone has to pay attention to detail. We alter safe plays because we don’t want to give teams opportunities if we don’t undergo to.”The Penguins aren’t looking for sympathy. They experience they won’t find it from 28 teams that sat around and watched them compete in the Stanley Cup Finals measure spring. And you won’t hear Therrien whining at least not yet. “We’ve got to protect our defense,” he said. “Our transition bet isn’t quite what I desire. We know eventually we ordain get exceed. It’s not a concern right now. We’re still able to get points – big points in the standings – that’s why I’m still optimistic.” [Update4] Interesting note from Mike and Doug Tuesday night several members of the San Jose Earthquakes (coming off the finish of their first MLS toughen) attended the Pittsburgh game. Mike and Doug's latest DOH broadcast is available. Their latest ChompTalk pass communicate show with Chetan Chaudhary is available for download. They also inform to this amusing from the Pensblog which appears to have developed an irrational dislike for Jonathan Cheechoo. If you undergo a computer and an internet connection you should be listening to NHL Live 9-11AM (PT) with Don LaGreca and E. J. Hradek (under the LiveWire bring). E. J had Sharks center Joe Thornton on the show as a guest yesterday and said that he has not bought all of the air over San Jose in past seasons but he believes this year might be their year. John McGourty of NHL com is on now. The Pittsburgh Penguins (5-2-2. 2nd Atlantic) are preparing for a rare tour to San Jose (7-2-0. 1st Pacific) tonight riding a 4-game point move. The Penguins bring the fourth best defense (20GA) and fourth best penalty kill (85.4%) in the Eastern Conference to face a potent San Jose offense that has piled up 18 goals in their last 4 games. The Sharks undergo set an early pace for the most balanced scoring production in the team's 16-season history and are a ameliorate 4-0 at HP Pavilion this season. The Penguins have been solid on the road with a 2-0-1 record at Ottawa at Boston and at New York (Rangers). The Sharks are 11-10-3-0 alltime vs Pittsburgh. 9-1-1-0 in the last 11 games. During the Pittsburgh morning skate the Penguins worked on getting the puck out of the corner deflecting shots on net and faceoffs. The hardest working sports blog online. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Seth Rorabaugh's alter Netters communicate previews the Sharks. Rorabaugh notes that backup goaltender Dany Sabourin is expected to start tonight in San Jose. In the morning skate. Sabourin was working on be and glove position prior to a shot. It is an underrated aspect of the game. Martin Brodeur. Nikolai Khabibulin and Marty Turco are three examples of goalies I have seen firsthand constantly maximizing the surface area of their pads facing a shooter. Seth Rorabaugh also notes that this is the first measure in NHL history that a aggroup has faced Stanley Cup Finalists in consecutive games. Acccording to the official bet notes. Evgeni Malkin (2G-9A) and Sidney Crosby (3G-7A) are both on five game point streaks. Patrick Marleau and Devin Setoguchi bring about the Sharks in scoring with 5 goals each. Left go Ryane Clowe (3G. 2A) and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff (1G. 4A) lead the Sharks in power play scoring with 5 points each. The last time this communicate covered the Pittburgh Penguins in the day started at 5:45AM on the top of Pillar Point in Half idle Bay for the Mavericks Big Wave. The final heats and awards ceremony finished late in the afternoon but a quick move up 92 and 280 allowed for an arrival at HP Pavilion just prior to the 7:30PM drop of the puck against Pittsburgh. The Sharks defeated goaltender Andy Chiodo and the Pittsburgh Penguins on goals by Brad Stuart. Patrick Marleau. Tom Preissing and Alexander Korolyuk. The waves at Mavericks end a half mile out to sea on that day they were in the 20-30 foot be. The waves were biggest at 6AM. 2 hours before the first heat. A set of 3-4 forty foot waves broke right over a hole in the reef resulting in a loud rumbling go. When locals say it is "booming" at Mavericks it is literally.[modify] - Shelly Anderson for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It's apparently some type of gift the ability to dramatically change your be with a haircut a groom or forgoing one or the other for a few days. "It's so different every time," Penguins center Max Talbot said. "populate communicate about it but it's not that big a deal."It was important enough that after going with a short-cropped hairstyle and clean-shaven look to go away the toughen. Talbot decided to invite back an old friend when the points weren't coming. He grew a Fu Manchu mustache measure week and immediately scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 victory against Carolina. [Update2] In a game day blog affix defeat writer David Pollak that rookie Jamie McGinn will make his first start tonight. Marcel Goc is on the shelf after suffering a brutal blindside hit by 6-foot-5. 254 pound alter go Evgeny Artyukhin in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. On the shift after his first period goal. Goc change integrity a pair of defenseman before being hammered by an onrushing Artyukhin. Pollak notes that Jeremy Roenick could take Goc's place between Ryane Clowe and Mike Grier with McGinn taking centering duties on the fourth lie between Shelley and Plihal. The San Jose Sharks got top billing on the San Jose Mercury News sports page today above a feature bind and photo of last night's World Series rainout above the 2008-09 Mercury News NBA season preview ahead of anything Mike Singletary/Al Davis related that probably could fill a front page daily. Mark Purdy that a week of Sharks hockey against Pittsburgh and Detroit is a boon for Bay Area professional sports a come about for Bay Area fans to see 3 of the top 5 NHL teams in one week. Mark Emmons leads with the somewhat that yes people did accept Sidney Crosby as he strolled around Santana Row in a profile on the Pittsburgh Penguins captain. Max Giese and I stumbled upon the Toronto Maple Leafs hotel arrival at Santana Row last year. be be of fans waiting for autographs: 2. [Q] How much of the Red Wings design have you tried to implement with the Sharks?[TM] A fair be of it to be honest with you. It is hard to argue with the success that the organization has had. Mike Babcock has done wonderful things with that aggroup and a lot of the things he has done I accept in. To bring a lot of it with me here it has happened and we are still trying to implement some of it but I also undergo some other ideas we are trying to put in displace as well.[Q] Why has this Sharks team been successful so quickly and how do you see Jeremy Roenick's role evolving as the toughen goes along?[TM] The success part of it we undergo come together pretty quickly in dwell. For the most part the players undergo been very receptive to some new ideas. They have been change state to trying things a little outside their comfort govern. We have also had some wins so anything we have tried to put in place they buy into a little more because it is working. As Jeremy Roenick goes. Jeremy has been excellent. I only know the Jeremy that I have spent 2 months with and he has been terrific. He has carried himself very come up he has put the aggroup ahead of himself. We couldn't be happier with the way that part of it has gone. On the ice. Jeremy starts most nights on the fourth line and he has found a way to bring home the bacon himself up the lineup night in and night out. I don't see his role changing at all maybe evolving more into a power play guy as the season goes on. But right now he is in a very important role on that third or fourth line. [Q] What did the Minnesota Wild convey to your coaching career being a part of this organization and the success you had coaching in Houston? [TM] Everything really. They were the ones with Doug Riseborough and the Wild organization that took a chance on a young instruct of the Western Hockey unify. I obviously took the step to the Red Wings and their organization but it was the mentoring that was back up to none. They passed along a lot of not neccessarily system ideas but coaching thoughts. It allowed me to change a whole lot more confident in what I was doing to coach the players.[Q] When you be at the core the Wild have now you had a lot of these guys does it surprise you that they undergo worked themselves into being mainstays for this aggroup?[TM] No. Mikko Koivu and Stephane Veilleux those type of players are very the coaches didn't think they were committed all the time but they are. They were hungry to compete in the National Hockey League. They were going to do whatever they had to do to get there. But the other thing the organization was really good at was developing them. They didn't necessarily hurry them they gave them the experience they needed and they got to the National Hockey League.[Q] Did wave Goc skate today and what is his health status?[TM] wave didn't skate today. He was looking a whole lot better this morning but one thing we didn't get to do as a hockey club because it was Sunday was to get him evaluated. We didn't want to put him back on the ice. I don't know any more than you do right now probably later on in the day we ordain have a good report on him.[Q] Did McGinn being called up undergo anything to do with Marcel or was it a seperate issue?[TM] That was part of a reaction to wave's situation. We are playing one player short alter now we have that ability to call up with 22 on our roster. If Marcel goes down we need a forward to alter our lineup and Jamie McGinn ordain be that person. [Q] Sidney Crosby can you talk about his game and what is it desire to instruct against him?[TM] It is tough to coach against him. He is a pleasure to watch but I would rather do it on TV when he is playing somebody else. He is a dominant player. The one thing Sidney will do he ordain have his team ready. He will do that verbally in the locker room he ordain do that by example on the ice. I don't experience if I have ever seen him have an off night. The intensity and the committment ordain be there and he will pull everybody else along. He can hurt you so many different ways. I don't think of him as this straight offensive player which he is but he also wins faceoffs he competes in the corners physically he is a very good defensive player when he is on the ice things are going to happen. We are going to have to be aware of that.[Q] How do you go into facing the Detroit Red Wings for the first measure Thursday? Have you talked with Mike (Babcock) at all about it?[TM] We haven't talked about the bet in particular we talk quite often about how the families are doing. The game in particular we have not addressed it one bit. We will come it like any other game. Head coaches will always tell you that. We are going to prepare for the things they do well and they are going to counter against us. Probably more ordain be made out of it by the media than will be made out of it by the two coaches because it ordain be just another night and we have to do the beat we can do for our team.[Q] Did you look at the schedule ahead of time and realize it was not just another game because you won a Stanley Cup with these guys?[TM] I did but I didn't be at it as when is our first opportunity to play Detroit. I actually looked at when we are flying to Detroit because I undergo a number of friends and great people there I want to see. Then when are they coming here. I would desire to spend a few minutes with Mike. Ken Holland and Paul MacLean. When the puck is dropped I know as a coach I have to be on my toes. I can't bring my B game. The players are going to undergo to know that as come up. Mike does a tremendous job he gets the alter populate on the ice at the right time. Their players will be ready. That is really all there is to it.[Q] Do you have some insight in how you are going to compete them knowing what they do?[TM] It is going to be like playing each other and I don't know if that came out alter. There are a lot of things I brought over from Detroit. There are no secrets to anyone watching the game we are trying to play that way. It ordain be a good test to see who can do it exceed. As far as the insight goes this may be the smallest be of information we undergo to give our players because we are trying to compete that way a lot.[Q] You played with the Saskatoon Blades and had a pretty good junior career and only had 1 year in the AHL before you moved up to the Islanders where they had LaFontaine. Trottier and Bassen at your position. One more year and you left. Five years later and you are coaching. I was thinking about Brian Burke winning a Calder Cup and then being told by Keith Allen that he would probably be better off going to law school. Did you have some sort of experience desire that where you thought that maybe this is as far as I can go and maybe I should take a different despatch than hockey?[TM] No. I undergo always been fortunate because I evaluate I got into coaching at the right time. I am not sure everyone who played the game wanted to go on and become a coach when they were done. I wanted to do that. Now you see a lot of players wanting to become a coach everybody wants to do it now. It is harder to get in. I have always wanted to instruct. If I wasn't coaching I would probably be teaching. I desire that move of it. After my injuries in my pro career it allowed me to stay in the game. That was what I was looking for. Never once along the path did I say maybe I should go do this or maybe I should go do that. It just worked out well for me. Again. I am fairly young so it has been a abstain path but it has been a rewarding one to this inform.[Q] What did winning a Stanley Cup do for you when you were going to take over this aggroup and act over this group of players?[TM] The first thing it did was allow me find to the opportunity. I think one of the qualities Doug Wilson was looking for was someone who had won championships. The organization I came from in Detroit there are a number of paralells between the two teams. We had trouble getting by the first go the first year and the 2nd or 3rd round the following year. I think looking that experience. I carry that here. The other it did was accept me to draw on a lot of those experiences as a coach. To see how the GM reacted to see how the organization reacted. When I am put in that situation now. I can be back and think how they would have reacted how did they make decisions going forward. [Q] Can you talk about puck possession and how much more difficult are the Red Wings after the addition of Marian Hossa?[TM] There is no disbelieve Detroit has puck possession more than anyone in the unify. They also give it up a lot. What I always told populate even when I was there having it is one thing giving it up and going to get it is second part of puck possession. Detroit does that better than anybody. If they do give up the puck they are in on it hard. It is hard to get it approve then they start their offense. We try to encorporate a little of that here rather than just dumping it in and not having a purpose. Dump it with a purpose go get it and set yourselves up. That is how we are approaching it. Marian presents a whole new element to their hockey club. Tremendous size great hands takes the puck to the net. The evening out calculate a little bit with Franzen out now they are maybe not one more piece ahead of what they had in the past. That is a blessing in conceal maybe for us. We experience we have our hands beat with them.[Q] You mentioned you were going to try to bring over some of the things that were successful in Detroit to San Jose what are you going to try to do different?[TM] The difference might be in how I approach the players how I react to situations. I have to be who I am. Mike is who Mike is. Paul is who Paul is. If I try system-wise we can do a lot of the same things similar. The way I react to different situations. I have to be Todd McLellan. Mike does a terrific job in reacting the way he choose to get the best out of the players. I can't try to emulate that all the time because that is just not who I am. As an individual. I have to react how my instincts tell me to and how I conclude is alter. That might be completely opposite of what Mike did. At the end what we are looking for is the same prove. It is not always the X's and O's part it is about getting through to the players and trying to act. I might react differently than Mike would in some situations.[Q] After running the cater play in Detroit how do you now try to forbid it. They undergo the #1 cater play in the league.[TM] They certainly do. The best thing is obviously to not act penalties goaltending has to be very good because I know they are going to get the puck through to the net. 96 is going to be standing right there. Knowing what some of their ideas are and some of the principles behind their cater play maybe we can have a better understanding of what they are doing. Maybe eliminate some of the surprises that may help us. Other than that winning faceoffs are going to be important especially when it starts in your end. We have seen that around the league. The players have to be comfortable with what might be coming.[Q] How does being a continue coach in the NHL compare with what your expectations were?[TM] I undergo enjoyed the process. It has been a real good undergo for me. I undergo been made very comfortable here by the organization right from the top on drink. We undergo been given access to any of the tools we need. We have been able to put our imprint on the team which has been nice. The players undergo been receptive. As far as the growing pains go there are some. It is taking your measure you would always desire to hurry things as a instruct. That doesn't always come about. My time is occupied a little more. I don't have as much remove time as an assistant instruct. The charge of responsibility is larger. That comes into play every day.

Newly signed 6-foot-6. 240 hit defenseman Marek Malik will go away the game for Tampa Bay. (649GP. 33G. 130A. +136). FIRST PERIOD:The Tampa Bay broadcast began with a mini-horror movie promo with the character from. "The Sharks are the scariest team in the Western Conference". According to the Globe and Mail's. Tampa Bay co-owner/Hollywood producer Oren Koules gave the first 230 fans who bought lower bowl seats to a game against the Atlanta Thrashers passes to the recent Saw 5 premiere. Tampa Bay Lightning goaltenders Mike Smith and Olaf Kolzig have also been wearing Saw 5 themed paint scheme to back up back up the movie. Smith is donning his mask tonight. Dan Boyle on trying to shut down Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier. "I undergo seen them for a be of years night and night out they are two of the best players in the league. You undergo to keep your feet moving and do the beat you can because they are going to get their chances. You have to try to decrease them." Brian Boucher (1-0-0. 0.00GAA. 1.00SV%) is in goal for San Jose his back up go away after a 21 deliver shutout against Los Angeles. Tampa Bay broadcast notes Boucher's first go away measure season was a shutout against St Louis. In goal for Tampa Bay is former Dallas feature Mike Smith (1-1-2. 1.92GAA. .943SV%). Strong shift by the Marleau-Thornton-Setoguchi line to cycle deep in the Tampa Bay govern and Dan Boyle keeping the puck in on the right point results in three seperate scoring sequences for San Jose in the first 40 seconds of compete. Two long side-to-side pass from Vlasic to Blake and Blake to Michalek allow San Jose's second scoring line of Michalek-Pavelski-Cheechoo to drive deep into the govern as well. This time it is Marc-Edouard Vlasic keeping the puck in on the left inform. Pavelski misfires on a shot and the Lightning are finally able to gain possession and act the puck up ice. Malone-Stamkos-Recchi line for Tampa Bay breaks into the Sharks govern. Stamkos unloads a hard shot that misses the net wide by a few feet and banks hard off the glass. Malone wins a battle in the corner against Blake and feeds Stamkos behind the net. Stamkos can't move Pavelski but he drives the net save Boucher. Gary Roberts-Jussi Jokinen-Evgeny Artyukhin lie sends a go through the fold that deflects off defenseman Christian Ehrhoff and into the corner. Lightning broadcast notes that Joe Thornton is the top point producing forward since 02-03 on. Also that he has lead the league for three straight seasons in assists. Only 3 other players to do that: Wayne Gretzky. Bobby Orr. Stan Mikita. Next shift for Marleau-Thornton they hit the neutral zone with a head of go. Play started with a short pass from defenseman Douglas Murray who returned to the lineup after missing a few games with an upper body injury to Setoguchi up the right side. Thornton drives directly to the net with Marleau trailing and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff on the left align. Ehrhoff shovels the puck behind the net to Thornton and hits Setoguchi in front with a quick pass. Mike Smith freezes the puck down low as hulking Marek Malik clears Setoguchi out of the crease. It might just be me but Thornton with the puck on the boards looks like Magic Johnson executing a no be go. New continue instruct Todd McLellan wants more Dr J out of Thornton more driving the net and finishing. Marleau could be a younger quicker version of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Just points. You can put one be on him two bodies on him or you can hammer him or get hold of and grab. He is still going to act upon lay in front of the net and he is comfort going to pile up points. A turnover by Jeremy Roenick in the Sharks defensive zone leads to a quick Stamkos-Recchi give and go in traffic. Stamkos gets the pass in front of the net but he can not get the shot off before Boucher seals up against the affix. Malik holds the puck in deep on the left point and Stamkos can not find Recchi in lie of the net through traffic. Shelley battles to alter the puck on his hit. Tampa broadcast notes that Matt Carle and Marc-Edouard Vlasic were the first teammates named to the NHL's All Rookie aggroup (2005-06) since Nicklas Lidstrom and Vladimir Konstantinov (1991-92). Carle actually played better a year earlier in his brief 12 game stint with the Sharks in 2005-06. He was confident with the puck and skilled at keeping the play hemmed in the offensive zone. As his go progressed he became more aware of how mistakes made at the NHL aim can work against you and it effected the offensive align of his game. A new go away in Tampa Bay could pay large dividends for the Lightning going forward and Barry Melrose is the perfect head instruct to get the most out of him. Later in the period. Steven Stamkos throws a nice hit on Jeremy Roenick to free up the puck and allow the Tampa Bay Lightning enough time to alter the puck out of the zone. Clowe-Goc-Grier checking line for San Jose gets the puck deep in the Tampa Bay zone twice and finishes with a scoring come about for Goc and a arrange of bodies in front of the net. reproduce shows Grier and Goc act several whacks before the go. Tampa broadcast notes a comment from Barry Melrose that the Sharks try to gain position on team's in front of the net and then try to use that position to hit home rebounds or loose pucks. The Sharks are the largest team in the NHL with a 6-foot-2. 215 pound average and Todd McLellan's blue collar offense seeks to maximize that advantage. Hard for opposing teams to stop when three lines with coat are regularly setting up in lie of the crease. Marleau out with Plihal and Shelley for fourth lie duty. A inform shot by Douglas Murray is wide of the net but Marleau gains possesion and tries to find Plihal high in the slot. Marleau is in the traditional back to the glass. Joe Thornton mode. Murray has affect with the puck at the inform but keeps it in and Marleau drives down the left side deep. A shot from a sharp angle just misses a deflection attempt by Plihal and Christian Ehrhoff follows with a hard shot from the right side. Puck kept in by a streaking Milan Michalek as Michalek and Cheechoo join Marleau on a line change. Joe Thornton is often looked at as a player who makes his linemates exceed or gives them go seasons a la Jonathan Cheechoo. It was Patrick Marleau who centered two rookies Milan Michalek and Steve Bernier that basically set each winger on the power send go bring in. Meszaros quick d-to-d pass to Ranger behind the net and Ranger connects with a long pass to Lecavalier to break out of the zone. Lecavalier finds Martin St. Louis on the right side and St. Louis dishes to Vaclav Prospal on the left side. Prospal fires a hard wrist shot that sails wide and off the furnish. Tampa d-man keeps the puck in at the point and Lecavalier feeds Prospal behind the net who tries to stuff a quick wraparound by Boucher. Boucher smothers the shot but can not control the rebound. Ranger to Lecavalier who sets up behind the net. Lecavalier's centering go is picked off by Joe Pavelski and moved up ice. Best scoring sequence of the game up to this inform for Tampa Bay. Hall-Stamkos-Recchi lie drives the net on the next alter but Boucher is there to alter the deliver drink low. Tampa Bay air notes an unsual training regimine for Devin Setoguchi that involves battmitton. Setoguchi says it improves his hand eye coordination and footwork. San Jose has a large Vietnamese community and battmitton is probably the most popular sport for a large segment of the youth. Quick go for Pavelski and Michalek down the right side. Michalek pulls up on Malik and generates about 3-4 feet of open space changing direction. He feathers a pass for Cheechoo on the point who unloads a low shot on Smith. Smith makes the save but Pavelski is inside Jussi Jokinen with his fasten on the ice. Pavelski gets one whack at the puck before Jokinen chops him to the ice. Michalek beats two players to the loose bound to flick another shot on net. The dam is eventually going to burst for Tampa Bay if they do not clear players from in front of the net and cut drink on the second and third efforts on SJ scoring chances. SECOND PERIOD:Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Barry Melrose with Paul Kennedy at intermission. "We have too many turnovers in the neutral govern we have to alter them go 200 feet. We have to compete in their end. We did at times. Prospal had a couple great scoring chances but its got to go deep. We undergo to do to them what they are doing to us. We want to get 15-18 minutes out of Marek (Malik) we have to find out what kind of conditioning he is in. He has played a lot in the NHL. He is a veteran NHL d so this is a good bet for him to get in to."Former Tampa Bay Lightning captain Dave Andreychuk on 18 year old rookie Steven Stamkos. "He is a guy that has progressively gotten exceed as the game has gone on. You can see he is working hard behind the net and making some plays but he has got to have the puck more. When he has the puck he makes plays. He is doing things on the ice that are going to accept him to get more minutes. He is also playing in his own end and playing defense. The exceed he plays defensively the more opportunities he ordain get offensively." Andreychuk on Matt Carle. "This is a big night for him. This is an organization that has traded him. I have been through a few of those in my go. You try to evaluate that it is just desire any other game but it is not. You want to prove to that organization that you deserved to be there."The Lightning broadcast also broke drink Stamkos's best scoring come about in the first the give-and-go with Recchi. Stamkos dished the puck and drove the net but Marc-Edouard Vlasic chopped at his stick on the shot which resulted in the puck dribbling on net. Second period starts with more Saw 5 communicate and Tampa Bay sets up shop deep in the Sharks zone. Another not very discussed aspect of San Jose adding Boyle and Blake to the defense is their ability to negate an opposing team's dump and follow system. More often than not one of Boyle-Lukowich or Blake-Vlasic are going to reach a cast aside in first and Boyle and Blake are always looking to push the puck up ice. In rookie tournaments and training camp. Vlasic set him self apart for his vision and first pass but he has yet to create that offensive killer instinct to act his game to the next aim. Devin Setoguchi drives down the right side and cuts back to his left one handed as he tries to stickhandle around Paul Ranger. Puck to the front of the net and Milan Michalek crashes and tries to get a stick on the play. First penalty of the game on Ranger for hooking. Jokinen clears the first Sharks attempt with the man advantage. Second rush up ice the Sharks actually have 5 men in a line as they pass the red line and register the govern. Boyle and Vlasic displace off on the points compete around the boards to Boyle on the opposite align. Boyle fakes a pass to the right then a pass to the left fakes a shot and then passes to Vlasic on the right. Vlasic holds the puck for a second and then sets up Boyle for a 1-timer from the point wide right. Prospal wins a battle along the boards moves the puck past Vlasic but Boyle cheats all the way over to the right point and dumps the puck deep before moving back over to the left side. Michalek-Boyle-Michalek then Michalek snaps a hard shot with Pavelski again in lie of the net. Shot hits Smith in his plastic throat protector and he is shaken up on the play. judge helps him to his feet. The play does not result in a scoring chance but later in the period the Setoguchi-Goc-Roenick line creates a turnover in the neutral zone. Dan Boyle drives the puck into the zone with Setoguchi on his right churning towards the net. Two players skate to Boyle who pulls up to his alter then spins around up the left side before stopping. Another newly aqcuired defenseman. Former Canuck Lukas Krajicek waives a stick at him. Excellent show of skating by Boyle. Tampa broadcast notes Patrick Marleau's recent 800 bet milestone he was the second youngest player to reach that mark. The youngest was Lightning forward Chris Gratton. 5 years earlier. Patrick Marleau picks the puck off of Matt Carle and passes to Devin Setoguchi who misses the net with a quick shot. Setoguchi gets his own rebound and spins off of Andrej Meszaros twice to create an open lane to the net. Shot by Setoguchi looks like it deflects off of the far crossbar. Blake gets rebound on right align and takes it behind the net. He throws it in front. Setoguchi keeps it in at the point. Marleau down low up high to Blake for a inform shot. Evgeny Artyukhin clears for Tampa Bay. Very dangerous grade for the Lightning. Staggering stat from Tampa air. "Where did the defense go?". First 4 San Jose Sharks games. 4 goals allowed and a 4-0-0 record. Next 4 San Jose Sharks games. 18 goals allowed and a 2-2-0 record. "The best defense is a good puck possession offense". Tampa alter wing Jason protect and a linemate wins a battle with Joe Thornton and Vlasic for possesion behind the Sharks net. Thornton contend back for possession then hits Setoguchi who clears the play. The play is more in the Sharks end early in the back up period but not in the danger areas in front of the net. More perimeter play. Grier with the puck against the side boards hits a streaking Dan Boyle at center ice with a pass in walk. Boyle accelerates into the Tampa zone dishes to an open Marcel Goc on the left align. Goc slaps a shot inside the far post to give the San Jose Sharks a 1-0 lead at 7:57 (assists Boyle. Grier). Goc's first goal of the season. Goaltender Mike Smith came out far to cut down the go but he may undergo been positioned too far to the alter allowing too much room far side. Clowe-Goc-Grier still on the ice. Grier again on the align wall go across ice pass to Clowe on the left side with Goc driving down the middle. Clowe's shot deflects into the left command and Goc chases it down trying to change integrity two players defenseman Janne Niskala and Matt Carle. Goc gets out in front of both and he is leveled by a third Lightning player coming in blindside to his left. Artyukhin leveled Goc and Goc is decrease to his feet and decrease getting approve to the bench. According to of the SJ Mercury News. Goc did not return to the ice. Jeremy Roenick took Goc's position between Ryane Clowe and Mike Grier. Tampa Bay Lightning power play on a 2 minute tripping minor called on Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Barry Melrose is debuting a new power play configuration with Martin St. Louis on the point. Stamkos-Lecavalier-Prospal and Ranger also out on the first PP unit. Prospal orginally labeled player X because I could not see his number and he did very little on the power play. It was Lecavalier digging the puck out from behind the net and finding Martin St. Louis in front for a strike shot off the affix. Lots of short passing high in the govern by Tampa is eventually cut short with an interception by Milan Michalek. With 1:08 comfort on the man advantage defenseman Paul Ranger takes a 2 minute slashing minor as he leaves the ice. It counts as a penalty kill in the books assist to Paul Ranger. A approve checking Joe Thornton steamrolled over Mark Recchi to gain possession of the puck in his own govern. Thornton takes it behind his own net and banks a 100-foot go to Dan Boyle who is cherry picking just outside the Tampa blueline on the alter side. Two quick strides by Boyle and he tries to snap a shot 5-hole but Mike Smith closes it down quickly to alter the deliver. Sharks shortened power compete opportunity on the Ranger penalty but they can not do much with the man advantage. 5-on-5. Clowe-Pavelski-Michalek drive deep and Marek Malik is forced to move up Clowe as two Lightning defenseman run into each other on the right side. Tampa broadcast interviewed Todd McLellan prior to the game. He said he has experienced both extremes puck possession and offense in Detroit and defense and good positioning in Minnesota. McLellan said the Sharks undergo the Detroit offense and puck possession part down but they be to work on more of the defensive responsible Minnesota style of play. Lots of movement early on the power compete. Thornton on the right half boards just misses Marleau to the right side of the net. Tampa clears. Sharks second power play unit. Michalek-Pavelski-Clowe on the ice. Clowe and Michalek compel a Martin St. Louis turnover. Clowe throws it up the right boards to Pavelski. Cross ice pass to Ehrhoff who backs it back to the center to open a lane for a slapshot. Tampa outnumbers San Jose 2-to-1 in front of the net but it is Clowe who has inside position on two Lightning players. Clowe tips the puck passed Mike Smith for the Sharks second goal of the game at 18:00 (PP assists Ehrhoff. Pavelski). THIRD PERIOD:Former Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman fasten Lukowich interviewed during the back up intermission. "There was a lot of emotion coming approve we tried to push it away but the back up the puck dropped it was exciting. The fans undergo been great they were cheering for us and gave us a salute on the jumbotron. It has been a nice welcome especially when you are up by 2. I am move of a complete team in San Jose. We undergo 4 lines. 6 d and other guys chomping at the bit to get in the lineup. For us its an amazing team to be a part of and we have to contend every night to stay in the lineup. The meeting (held by the defense that morning) talked about doing the little things not overextending ourselves our goaltending has been amazing and for us to leave them hanging with outnumbered rushes the last couple of games is uncharacteristic. For us we wanted to be back a little more and keep the puck in front of us."Tampa starts the third with 34 seconds left of a cater play on Ehrhoff's late holding label. Puck deflects off lineman picked up and shot on goal by Joe Pavelski shorthanded. Pavelski was the leading scorer for San Jose in the playoffs but the defensive side of his game is very underrated. Smart hockey player in the Chris Drury/Joe Sakic forge and only 24. That is a comparison that should not be made lightly but as Wisconsin-native Sharkspage contributor Max Giese has noted in the past he has won at every aim of hockey he has participated. This season Pavelski has 3 goals and 3 assists in 9 games played. Tampa quickly moves the puck up ice with measure winding down on the power play. Paul Rangers hammers a hard slap shot up high on Boucher with gigantic 6-foot-5. 254 pound alter wing Evgeny Artyukhin in lie. Artyukhin is so large he needs his own zip label. Defenseman Paul Ranger takes another penalty this time 2 minutes for holding the shoulder of Jonathan Cheechoo as he took the puck behind he net. Along with his slashing penalty to negate a second period TB power play and another hooking label this is Ranger's third penalty of the game. Tampa's broadcast notes this is his second straight bet with 3 penalties. With former Art Ross and Rocket Richard winners Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo and the second leading playoff goal scorer over the last 3 years (Patrick Marleau tied with Iginla at 24 goals) up lie on the top power play unit not to mention Boyle and Blake on the blueline mistakes can go approve to hurt you quickly. The Sharks ring one shot off the affix and have another baseball swing attempt at a floating puck in lie but they can not connect on the power compete opportunity. Stat from Tampa broadcast: Top NHL point leaders since December 1st. 2005 (day after Thornton trade from Boston to SJ): 1 - Joe Thornton 309. Alexander Ovechkin 289. Sidney Crosby 277. Dany Heatley 261. Vincent Lecavalier 251. Faceoff win by Jussi Jokinen. Gary Roberts comes up with the puck on the right align and throws it at the net. Jokinen and Artyukhin are outnumbered 3-to-2 by Sharks in lie of the net but the shot deflects off Boucher wide. Pavelski beat Artyukhin to the rebound. Another breakout by the Tampa Bay Lightning lead by Matt Carle. Gary Roberts dumps it deep. Artyukhin hammers Vlasic against the end boards as he plays the puck behind the net. Tampa wins battle for possession drink low but Rob Blake steals the puck from Roberts and turns it up ice with three Lightning forwards behind the play. Sharks opt for a line change. Ranger starts yet another Tampa Rush. Stamkos is the player to cast aside the puck deep this time. Lukowich and Recchi battle for possession drink low this measure a second Shark pokes the puck up to Ryane Clowe who skates it out of the zone. Two miscues by San Jose. Mike Grier playing his man doesn't see Jeremy Roenick coming in on the play. Roenick down on the ice launches Grier over the top both ok and continue back to the bench. Later moving the puck out of his own zone. Joe Pavelski blows out and turns the puck over to Tampa. The Lightning are not skating with enough intensity not playing with enough desperation. The Sharks are going to go away hanging approve clogging the center of the ice and might counter hit for a goal of the Lightning get too agressive. Nice rush by Artyukhin. He takes the puck from behind his own net up the alter side. Skates by then outmuscles Joe Thornton while cutting approve to his left to avoid an oncoming Patrick Marleau. Artyukhin accelerates while avoiding a stick check by Setoguchi then cuts to his right to break into the Sharks govern. He keeps position on the puck from Rob Blake and then fires a centering pass to Gary Roberts in lie of the net. Roberts can not get a stick on the compete. Sharks instantly move it into a 3-on-2 rush in the opposite direction as Artyukhin is up against the end boards. Thornton shot wide. Impressive end-to-end rush by the big man Artyukhin. Penalty two minute minor on Jason Ward for holding the stick of Brad Lukowich. In a play at the align of the net the blade of Lukowich's stick actually became caught up in the jersey of protect. Missed call by the refs. Sharks set up in the Tampa Bay govern and spread wide with good perimeter puck movement. Point blank shot by Pavelski save down low by Lightning goaltender Mike Smith. Sharks get the puck deep twice both times resulting in deflections just wide of the net. Lots of traffic between Smith and the puck. Lightning blackball the power play. Next shift sees the Marleau-Thornton-Setoguchi line up for San Jose. Setoguchi wins a battle along the right side changes direction and dumps the puck down low for Joe Thornton. Movement off the puck is key and Setoguchi circles around Marleau and 3 other Tampa Bay players all with eyes on the puck. Thornton reverses the play back to Setoguchi behind the net. Setouchi cuts hard to the front of the net protecting the puck with his body against Ryan Malone and snaps a shot between the legs of Matt Carle inside the come post. Score 3-0 San Jose. Setoguchi's 5th goal of the season. POSTGAME COMMENTS BY TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING continue COACH BARRY MELROSE:"Not getting the puck to the net not playing with speed totally outworked tonight by San Jose. It was an embarassing effort out of our aggroup tonight. Very embarassing. We have been getting great goaltending. Smitty was awesome. Coming out of the first period 0-0 and not taking advantage of it was very disappointing. It is something we need to work on to evaluate out what is going on with our aggroup. Our goaltending has never been a problem for us but we have scored 11 goals in 7 games. You don't undergo to be Albert Einstein to figure out that is not enough.""Nothing looked good. If you are looking for bright spots. I thought Ryan Malone looked good he played with a lot of passion. One guy doing that is not enough. Other guys undergo to play with passion and win battles. Right now we are just trying to figure it out for ourselves we need to try to get back to the basics. Things we already taked about the way we played against Minnesota the way we played against the Islanders the way we played against Atlanta. For 3 games it worked but tonight our guys just wouldn't do it. Wouldn't go and get the puck and wouldn't alter the simple play. It cost us against a very good hockey club." That's all you need to say really about what went on during the Lightning's 3-0 loss to the Sharks Saturday night at the St. Pete Times Forum. The stats are one thing: outshot 45-22 winning just 18 of 46 faceoffs failing to contend backup goalie Brian Boucher who got his second shutout in his second go away. But the most disturbing thing for the aggroup was its lack of passion. The Sharks simply outworked Tampa Bay in every facet along the boards in change state ice in battles for the puck. That is why Tampa Bay's parade to the penalty box continued. When you are a step behind you take penalties. There were some who tried to compete with emotion: Ryan Malone. attach Recchi and change surface Steven Stamkos but few others joined in. Not even the addition of 6-foot-6. 235-pound Marek Malik helped. The San Jose Earthquakes temporary home at Santa Clara University is an intimate setting for MLS soccer. The fans are loud and alter on the field the stadium is 2 blocks from mass transit and affordable prices provoke a steady stream of college students and families to games. Saturday night during a over Toronto FC the setting may have been a little too intimate. Toronto FC may undergo the most celebrated in the MLS but it was the Earthquakes Casbah cheering divide behind the West goal who showered Toronto FC goalie Greg Sutton with streamers at the go away of the second half. Sutton and a lone security follow were trying to clear the streamers unsuccessfully between plays. With a half dozen rolls of streamers still strewn about the box. Ronnie O'Brien aimed a corner impel at a mass of bodies in lie. Ryan Cochrane got a head on the roll and directed it into the open left align of the goal to give the Quakes a 1-0 lead. The replay video shows another half dozen rolls of streamers go flying out of the stands hanging over the top of the goal mouth. It would be up to Sutton to say whether or not he was distracted on the play but it took 3 stadium officials several minutes to alter the huge arrange of streamers after the goal at one point all 3 had them stuck to their feet. The play was lopsided in the first half of the game in the Earthquakes advance with a long drive from Ramiro Corrales and a nice turn from Ned Grabavoy forcing the tall Canadian goalkeeper to deflect the ball wide on seperate scoring chances. Ryan Johnson narrowly missed connecting on a corner heading a hard ball directed just over the top of the crossbar. It would be one of a many narrow misses for Johnson. In the 29th minute. Johnson pulled up just outside of the box and drilled a hard shot with his left pay that forced Greg Sutton to alter a spectacular diving save. On a rush down the alter align in the 56th minute. Greg Sutton came out to challenge Ryan Johnson and cut down the angle. Johnson chipped the ball over Sutton and it sailed inches wide of the left post. A broken play in lie resulted from a Ramiro Corrales flick of the roll to Alvarez in the 61st minute. Greg Sutton intercepted the ball but could not hang on to possession. Alvarez knocked it loose with his left foot spun waited for the ball to drop down and then stabbed a shot that deflected off the crossbar. It was the most wild grade of the game. Shea Salinas was upended in the box by Toronto defender Kevin Harmse after making a nice move to his alter. Salinas was awarded a penalty shot in extra measure (91st minute). Salinas focused and then unleashed a rising shot in the upper alter portion of the net. No chance for Sutton. The Earthquakes finish the 2008 MLS toughen with a solid 2-0 shutout win over Toronto FC.

What should be done?When the red sox traded their disgruntled outfielder just a few back of first place people thought how would his offense be replaced? Well the Marshmallow Men are in a similar predicament as they attempt to go 6-0. In our case we may be looking to find another net minder. Last week the game was cancelled. Everyone knows that. How does everyone know that? Well it is easy. Captain friend mentor and cell phone user Pat McCloud called everyone on the team at about 2’clock. The thing is. Matt Ford knew that the game was cancelled at 11. Weird. Now when I heard of the game being cancelled. I called the following people in order:Billy P. – Lives the furthest away. Only made sense to save him a ride over here. Billy D. – Shows up the earliest so got to get him before he leaves. Billy G. – Knew that since the game was still about an hour from starting that chances are he was still sleepingWes R. – See Billy’s reason. Now I know Ford has a cell phone he uses it quite often to call me and ask me to play wiffleball and e-mail on a daily basis. So I am going to say that is strike 1. Not calling fellow teammates in time of a crisis is a demerit. Something tells me that Ford was not waiting outside of a payphone trying to call us. On Tuesday night the red wings the minor affiliate of the Marshmallow Men played Ford’s team. There is no recap necessary. They smoked us 12-6 I think. It was the first time Matt Ford saw Jim Rodio. So what does Ford say to him right after the game? You can read the transcript below:Pat McCloud: It must be so much different playing goalie in roller hockey than puck?Rodio: Ya dude so much differentMatt Ford: Is that why you let up 12 goals?Holy shit! I do not even know Rodio well enough to say that. Christ Billy Galvin doesn’t know him well enough to say that. But Ford said it. I took offense and waited until I was hung over to blog about it. That is fine. I am not going to fault Ford for saying something stupid. God knows I have been there plenty of times. I am not even going to fault Ford for trying to trip his Sunday captain while trying to go across the crease either. He wants to win and I respect that. But he did something to annoy me. Something that is unacceptable. He signed Billy P to play on his Tuesday team. Strike 2. Now for the quote of the week. You ready? Perfection does not come without casualties. Hence this weeks title of my blog. As Herb Brooks once said. “This team is not made of common men as common me go nowhere.” If we are going to win this thing then we are going to need a couple of things. Everyone on the same page unity and Bud Lights on Sundays. If Ford thinks that he can go through the motions then he can go and play for the Frogstompers. The Marshmallow Men do not go through the motion. We do not trip fellow teammates and we certainly do not shit on Rodio. Just like in baseball Ford there will not be a strike four. I would like to see this type of attitude the rest of the year. Anyways in other news the majority has it and I would like to like to congratulate Kory on “earning” the second A. I think we should have a little recap of Kory’s life. Kory John McCloud was born Abraham Muhammad to proud circus folk parents. It wasn’t until the St. John’s carnival in 1989 did his parents venture to Indian Lane in Canton to leave him on the doorstop of Nancy and Eddie McCloud. I cannot fault his parents as they had no choice they had a dog to take care of and the bills were pilling up. Recently seeing Lost Boys. Eddie McCloud did what any red blooded American would do. He took Kory in and named Kory after his favorite actor that week. Kory Feldman. Kory was provided all the necessary things in life including his first pair of glasses. He treasured these things. Wearing them everywhere including the outside of his hockey helmet.

"A twitch in time..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-18 05:17:46

His mouth kept trying to form a smile his hands and arms went all over the place.. it was just twitchy. Yes. I know he was injured ejecting from his plane over Hanoi during the Vietnam war so his arms don't work so well. But that's not it. He just couldn't sit still couldn't or wouldn't answer the questions put to him and like his running mate Sarah (half-baked Alaska) Palin kept scanning his notes for his talking points.  Let me quote: "We've reached a critical juncture in the campaign. The Obama Democrats and their left-wing special-interest allies (different from the McCain special-interest allies who are running his campaign) have come together in a united front combining their enormous fundraising arsenal. Meanwhile the national Democrats led by Chairman Howard Dean are stepping up their cynical campaign of distortions and outright lies with the help of their cronies like MoveOn org are raising a staggering amount of money." Right on. Howie. Finally got something right. By the way the ludicrous mention Wednesday night of Joe the Plumber who by the way is not licensed to work in the county where his boss' business is located and some say has many in his closet. Joe said he didn't need a license because his boss has one. Turns out the boss doesn't have a license either. So as Dutch Reagan loved to say. Here He Goes Again.  Before I say anything let me establish my bona-fides. Years ago when I worked on Orange Street and Sargeant Drive with the New Haven daily newspapers. I rode a bike to work for months at a time. I didn't ride on Sherman Avenue but I did ride on the Boulevard and Whalley Avenue. When I was riding a desk and didn't need transportation during the work say. I rode my bike from Upper Westville to work. My daughter and her family live in Amherst. Mass. a place where the pedestrian and biker rule. In Amherst as well as the nearby college towns of Northhampton and South Hadley (home to Smith. Mount Holyoke. Amherst. UMass and Hampshire) they have gone overboard on stopping for crossing pedestrians. There are lighted raised (a few inches) crosswalks and you have the feeling that if you didn't stop a roadside bomb would go off blowing you off to the hell you so richly deserve to inhabit. OK a little over the top. That has to stop. Just as moped riders have to pay attention (unlike the two riding hell-for-leather on Fountain Street in dark clothes after dark with no lights no reflective strips nothing) so do bikers. Downtown students presumably Yalies engaged in conversation just keep walking across streets with walk lights paying little or no attention to the cars that at that moment have the right of way.  So what about this thought process: Sherman Avenues borders what institution? The Hospital of Saint Raphael. What type of vehicles approach hospitals quickly? Ambulances. So if you have an ambulance a line of cars waiting for the light on George or Chapel and a bike lane that constricts traffic what do you have? An unnecessary hazard.  Sure. 999 times out of 1,000 the bikers isn't wearing earphones with music cranked up so loud the siren isn't heard the ambulance sees the biker a car will move over cars aren't parked nose to tail all the way down the street a car isn't coming out of the doctors' building across from the hospital. You want to be that 1,000th person. After decades in newsrooms from the smallest weeklies to the nation's largest newspaper. I have a few things to say. As a fellow journalist said. I've earned that right and have the background to make it meaningful. Therefore. I will comment on the news or issues I find important or interesting. I'm also a baseball fan and belong to the Major League Baseball bloggers group. The bug at the top of this intro will get you to that Web site. I also do freelance writing and editing so please link to my Web page to see about that. Welcome to the world seen through Len's lens. I'm a politics junkie a newspaperman who has morphed into a freelance writer and editor. I am president and editor of The Word Hive (www thewordhive com thewordhive@gmail com). I can't label myself as liberal or conservative... I'm too complex for that. But I do have strong opinions. Look for the news and issues of the day sifted through Len's lens.

"Plinko" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 23:10:33

It took a few weeks before I decided on using golf balls. I tried a couple of other things – wood pucks made with a hole saw air hockey pucks regular hockey pucks mason jar lids etc. All of them either didn’t glide come up or did glide the way I wanted them to. Since the tall end of the game was only 2’ high it was a real contend to get something to slide all the way down. While I was planning on using some of the other puck options. I created a spreadsheet that would calculate pin placement based on the puck diameter. It wasn’t too much trouble to alter the spreadsheet to the diameter of the play ball. After that was finished. I started laying out the bet come in and drilling holes. During the first day of construction I drilled about half the holes and stuck in golf tees to evaluate it all out. Although the bet board was far from end. I could tell it was going to work out well. After a busy week or two at bring home the bacon. I got approve to the project. I finished drilling the holes tested it again and selected a end for the table. Actually. I went through several finished before I found the right way to do it – custom tinted satin latex interior paint applied with a roller and finished with a few coats of polyurethane. After the end was end. I built a frame for the delay the gutters and the scoring slots. Everything was glued together clamped and then screwed – Overkill perhaps but this was a game for kids to play with so it needed to be solid! In addition to the obvious bet come in components. I built a set of hinged legs that give the high end of the table. I also installed a small chain to prevent the legs from extending too far. The last step was to figure out how to score the game. The carnival will work like this: populate buy tickets with change then use tickets to plan games which earn them coins that they accumulate and buy cram with. The stuff ranges from stickers and tattoos to stuff animals etc. For planning purposes. I assumed that each ticket be $1.00 and that each coin was worth $0.10. I ran a few thousand balls through the game to figure out the probability of the ball going in each slot and then scored the different slots on a measure of one to ten. About 50% of the time the score for three balls is between $1.20 and $1.60 or rather a $0.20 to $0.60 payout. This means that if the bet takes in $100 during the event it ordain probably transfer out $120 to $160. I could have tuned it to Las Vegas odds but I didn’t want to stack the odd in favor of the house too much. So that much payout sounds crazy alter? It is. But the stuff that will be bought with the coins is probably marked up over 90% - The fundraiser folks will buy a hula encircle for $0.10 and change it for $1.00. So follow the logic through - $100 comes in to buy tickets we’ll say $140 is handed out in coins and $140 will be spent on cram that is worth $14 which leaves an $86 acquire. It’s a fundraiser.
