Who Are You Guys Again?

(apologies for the delayed post. So much hockey news this past week and I decided to catch the flu. Terrible timing, really)

One of the more meaningless losses of the lockouts was my normally encyclopedic knowledge of who is on the team. Sure, we've got your Joe Thorntons, Joe Pavelskis, Douglas Murrays, Ryane Clowe's and Patty Marleaus, but we picked up a few new guys over the summer didn't we? There was a summer right? It wasn't just some blurry lockout induced dream that I created in order to cover for the fact that there was no hockey. (and if it was, why didn't I come up with something better?)

So who the hell IS on the team these days? Well, according the official Sharks website, these guys are:

Who is Bracken Kearnes and why isn't his name Kracken Bearnes instead? Matt Tennyson...wait, he's a local boy? Holy crap! When did that happen? No really, when, because I apparently missed it. Number 80...try out or just a lover of high numbers?

In other news, Shark Pak schedules have been released, via email anyway. All Shark Pak holders will get six of their original ten games. Mina and I have plan A and we WILL be getting opening and closing night it looks like. Nicely done Sharks staff.

The rest of the Shark Pak game schedules can be found here.

Six games is better than the five I assumed we'd be getting. Not currently sure if these games will come at the same price of a full ten game pack or not. If anyone does know, please drop me a line.
