I know nothing about this guy - All I remember was the first goal of the first meeting btwn these teams. Puck went into the corner, Pavelski pinned Russell to the boards, took the puck and made a perfect pass to Burns for a goal.

I remember thinking, 'well this guy won't last', but recently I've seen that he's been pretty popular around here, so I guess he season got better.
Sharks are still in pretty bad shape injury-wise, but looks like they have managed to get a second line centered by Marleau with Nieto and Wingels working pretty well - still, Couture's absence is HUGE.
New faces for you guys are Bracken Kearns - the oldest rookie around with a great hockey name - doing good journeyman work and Eriah Hayes - a big boy with some speed, but not much else (yet). A lot of minor leaguer mixed in this team right now, but it looks like they are holding together well enough. Just swept 3 games on the road.
I just loved seeing the clips of the VAN game - wow! Way to blow Tort's top! And that video clip with McGratten the cooler head... juicy stuff!
Don't think we'll see any line brawls tonight... Sharks should win this one, but have manged losses to CAR, BUF & NYI this year - they certainly have trouble with the lower end of teams this year...
