I guess my vendetta against the AJC has been revealed! Foiled again by you meddling kids!

Alan — It’s strange that your posts get blocked while the people who pimp their websites get through at least once a week.

Maybe you should stop uploading viruses in each post.

I think Vivlamore actually hired Trixie’s evil sister, Nixie, which is why some of my posts get nixed.

Vivlamore needs to hire Trixie, to rescue it.

Another posted comment, another comment that landed in Blog Purgatory. Hope at least Chris sees it.

Dominic Moore played with Minn before Toronto.

I do like Dominic Moore, as well. I think he came up through Toronto, then got traded to Buffalo. I’m not sure why SJ didn’t make the qualifying offer to Goc, other than … that … perhaps they wanted to sign him for less than whatever the percentage of raise is required for a tender. Or, maybe the Sharks are thinking of pulling a trade, and they need cap room? I’m very leery of guessing what the Sharks will do. Last year, I wound up with egg on my face, predicting them to win the Stanley Cup, while watching them get eliminated in the 1st round, by Anaheim. San Jose won the President’s Trophy last year. Several internet and TV voices suggested changes were coming to SJ. Now, I’m not going to blame the opening round loss on Goc. Truthfully, I don’t know where to pinpoint blame. Honestly, I thought the Ducks played very well, and had a tremendous playoff campaign. Let’s not forget … they were tied with Detroit, in GAME SEVEN, with 3:00 left in regulation, before that series slipped away. If Anaheim had scored instead, they would have met the Blackhawks in the CF. So, in that regard, perhaps SJ finds a measure of comfort. They didn’t lose to a BAD TEAM, at #8 in the playoff field. All that … was caused by the St. Louis Blues leapfrogging up to sixth, from 13th in the Conference at Christmas. That pushed Columbus down to 7th seed, and Anaheim back to 8th. I doubt any Sharks fan really wanted Anaheim in the 1st round.

Brendan, fair enough on Goc. But I just didn’t see it with him and that SJS didn’t even make him a qualifying offer makes me more gunshy. I am still hoping for Malhotra myself and someone above in this blog or another one mentioned Moore and I would say he seems like a decent plan B. I want to stay away from the old guys like Grier though. Why get them if Moore is out there or even someone mentioned Comrie?
