I'm excited to work with a franchise as strong as San Jose. They've had great success the past few seasons going far into the playoffs, and to create the opportunity for some of their NHL prospects to play on our team is not only beneficial to us on the ice, but also exciting for our fans.

As long as they invented football, I'd be OK.

It is the beginning of a regional rivalry, plus when two teams play each other four times in five days, it can get pretty physical. I think you're two tough teams which play hard.

This is going be a rivalry for a very long time because of the locations of the teams, but I've done my part to get the rivalry going. We've had great games with them, even though we won the series, and I know they want to beat us as much as we want to beat them.

He has a second-to-none work ethic. He takes very good care of his body. He's the first guy on the ice and the last guy off.
crowds exciting front great heard large type
We've heard about the type of crowds they get there, and I think it's going to be exciting to play in front of a large crowd with that type of energy. It's great for our league.

What does a Northern European, Native American and Southeast Asian mixture look like? That's a fair question. We're told the photographs are extremely helpful.

We're excited that the Sharks made us a part of this process and for the chance to see some of their young talent play in game situations. Not only will we be able to get to know some of the guys that might be assigned to us in the future, but we'll also be able to get a first-hand look at guys that we might want to recruit in years to come.
crowd goes
When he is announced, the crowd really goes nuts.
