  1. So where do things stand behind #sjsharks bench these days? The somewhat cloudy picture at blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/
  2. That said, still convinced McLellan will be returning and changes coming to #sjsharks at assistant level. Process just not complete.
  3. Reports that McLellan back behind #sjsharks bench? Marchment as possible asst? "You know that I don't respond to rumors," says GM Wilson.
  4. What is new this week is gossip cited by well-respected @FriedgeHNIC that Bryan Marchment could be new assistant. That started speculation.
  5. New reports saying McLellan coming back to #sjsharks, likely with different assistants. But nothing more definitive since I noted same 5/2.
  6. Here's their good-bye note to #sjsharks fans: fearthefin.com/2012/5/15/3021…
  7. Changing of guard at Fear the Fin. The hard-working duo about to depart brought -- gasp! -- responsible standards, smarts to blogosphere.
  8. @TSNBobMcKenzie says no question in his mind McLellan back w/#sjsharks, but not surprised if veteran assstnt joins staff. (See it same way)
  9. Ex-#sjshark assistant Todd Richards getting new 2-year deal to stay behind CBJ bench. See @Aportzline report at bluejacketsxtra.com/content/storie…
  10. Loser's lament: Such easy travel in LA-PHX WCFinals, but more importantly -- Yard House just a short walk from each arena. Lucky Pierre.
  11. Deities work in mysterious ways, no? @cjbarresi75 Great read. I often ask myself...why am I a sports fan? Why do I do this to myself?
  12. Wise and very funny essay in NYTimes this a.m. on God and the Stanley Cup playoffs. Check it out at nytimes.com/2012/05/12/spo…
  13. "@markedwinemmons: Another reason to love hockey. 49ers Randy Moss' only quote to reporters today: "Work is over, baby, we're outta here.""
  14. De nada. Happy glad to share my vast knowledge of all things shoe-polish related. RT @hbryant42 Thanks @PollakOnSharks!
  15. Just sayin' RT @CatSharkSherpa Good luck explaining that 2 local sports geniuses - Sharks lose so blame & blow up entire team, coach & GM.
  16. (Do over) Perspective? Nope, #Sjsharks off-season moves didn't pay off. But some other GM signed Ilya Bryzgalov to a 9-yr, $51M contract.
  17. Misread web site: That Bryz deal is, of course, nine years and $51M. My bad.
  18. Perspective? Nope, the #Sjsharks off-season moves didn't pay off. But some other GM signed Ilya Bryzgalov to a 4-yr, $30.5M contract.
  19. Hard to say from press box, but like Xcel, Consol best overall. HP right up there, tho. @dpowellphoto what's best building seating wise?
