TheFeeder is pleased to
announce an affiliation with Sharks Hockey Odyssey, an incredible new blog that
is published by Jess Knaster, a journalism major at West Valley College. Jess
decided that he wanted to approach the 2006-07 NHL season with a little twist
and that he's write about it along the way. The twist is that he'll be
attending EVERY regular season Sharks game this season.
Jess has posted to Sharks Hockey Odyssey after every game thus far, and has
added blurbs about some of the towns that he's been to during road games.
We wanted to offer him an opportunity to get a little more exposure, so we'll
be re-printing some of his posts throughout the season.
Here is his latest post…
11/7 SHARKS 3, minnesota 1
Last time the Minnesota Wild visited the Tank, they walked out with a solid, 60
minute victory over the San Jose Sharks. Tonight, however, it was the Sharks
turn. Led by Joe Thornton's third goal of the season, first at home, and 22
saves by Evgeni Nabokov, the Sharks skated to their 11th victory of the season.
Last night's game was a showcase of talent, as all professional sporting events
are, however, last night was a showcase on a family level. The newest member of
the Marleau family, Landon, attended his first game last night, and, at the
ripe age of 3 weeks, Landon won his first game. Getting to see his father with
a goal and an assist, Landon probably won't remember what he saw last night,
but, at least he'll have the game puck his father scored late in the third
period.
In addition to a father showing off for his son, there were a
group of sons showing off for their fathers. Sitting in section 123, there were
a group of men wearing the red alternate Wild jerseys, with names and numbers
on the back, one for each player on the team. The reason for this, of course,
was that each man was the father of the player who's name was on the back of
the jersey. (This was what was told to me by a few different Minnesota fans. If
this is not the truth, please let me know, and I will remove it from my blog.)
The Sharks will look to take their momentum on the road, engaging in three
divisional games on this four game road trip. Tomorrow (Thursday) sees the
Sharks take on former Shark Scott Thornton (cousin of Joe) and the Los Angeles
Kings. From there, the Sharks have a Saturday night matchup in the desert with
the Coyotes and former Sharks Mike Ricci and this past summer's free agent
signing of former captain Owen Nolan. After a rematch with the Kings Monday in
Los Angeles, the Sharks will cap the trip with a visit to the Mile High City
and the Colorado Avalanche.
I apologize for the brevity of this post as compared to my other posts, but I'm
feeling a bit under the weather, and I'm looking to just sleep all day as it's
much easier to be sick at home than sick on the road. If I had a suitcase big
enough, I'd be sure to travel with my bed. See you guys on Friday morning,
fresh from my weekly talk with the KFOG Morning Show at 6:15 A.M.
Go Sharks (Go sleep and go Alka-Seltzer)
