New podcast here.  We’ve begun our season preview- in this episode, we talk about the Southeast and the Northeast.  Every show from here to the beginning of the season we’ll be doing one division, with the Pacific last.  However, we’ll be dealing with regular Sharks topics every show, as we always have.  If you want us to talk about anything in particular, drop us a line.

Apropos to none of this, I went and bought NHL09 for XBOX360 today.  I honestly haven’t spent any time playing a hockey video game since NHL’94, which I played on my PC.  That was back when the Sharks were bad, and I split my allegiance between the Sharks and Devils.  In my computer-generated season, I had over 100 goals with Bernie Nicholls.  Much has been made of how dominant JR was in that game, but good old Bernie wasn’t so bad either.  Plus, how many players do you know that had a goal celebration named after them?  Pumper-Nicholl, baby!
