Attendees can receive one (1) autograph from each player in attendance on any item of their choosing for a $20 donation. All funds raised will be donated to the efforts to search for Sierra LaMar. Only cash will be accepted for admittance to the autograph session.

“We are all proud residents of the Bay Area and we want to send a message to Sierra’s family, her friends and the entire community that we have not forgotten about her and we are not giving up hope,†said Couture.

Britton Middle School is located at 80 West Central Avenue in Morgan Hill.

Come on down for this one everybody--Morgan Hill isn't that far. I make it to my house in MH from the Tank in 22 minutes most nights.

Saving on gas. Gave some $$ to Couture as donation to cause.

Thornton (with "C" intact) is on the foldout of the pocket schedules--at least the one I got yesterday:

Ice going in SAP Center today

 

[Led Zappa]

They just stripped him of the C so the youngin's can't use that as an excuse when the make him captain again

C is for Creativity. That's good enough for me!

I saw that "Thornton CREATIVITY" thing on a billboard and laughed out loud

The guy who spends all power play standing on the right wall waiting for someone to get into position

That's creativity

At least it works for him most of the time. So much better than when Boyle just stood at the point with the puck for 20 seconds.

^ Agreed, but it doesn't make the ad any less ridiculous

So I proceed with my ridicule

DUMB

It really should be something like "vision" but that's probably not as evocative as creativity. I don't really think of Joe as a creative type but this just might be me being jaded. It's usually more of protect the puck and a magic pass.

If that's what gets him 65+ assists every season on a consistent basis, he could keep doing that for all I care.

Heh...

“My issue isn’t necessarily with Patrick and Jumbo as ‘C’ and ‘A.’ We’re forcing some individuals that have these opinions to step up and show us. We’re kind of telling them, go ahead, repair things.

 

[SactoShark]

Heh...

I actually like that quote a lot. Even if it is hedging, once again, at least this time it calls out the finger pointers.

Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere, but the season tickets contain the rest of the buzzwords.

Thornton - Creativity
Nieto - Speed
Pavelski - Tenacity
Wingels - Grit
Braun - Composure
Couture - Drive
Hertl - Energy
Marleau - Dedication

Can't say I'm a big fan of this ad campaign, but it's not a big deal. They also applied variable expected pricing for the first time; it's really weird seeing different prices on the tickets.

 

[WTFetus]

Why did Todd say "Patrick" and "C" first?

 

[Nighthock]

Drive or Dive?

 

[Chairman Mallard]

Drive or Dive?

It's even weirder when the variable prices don't come close to adding up to what we paid. "Face" on mine was $260 per ticket over what we paid for the 43 games. It's not like they're trying to reflect what they charge the public either. For example: Chicago tickets on Ticketmaster are $75 higher than the price on my tickets and $95 higher than what I actually paid.

Thornton: #SJSharks spent last weekend at Tahoe for bonding session to address whatever divide existed in room. Story coming shortly.

 

[Hertl]

So they spent time sharing their feelings. I wonder if they ended the session bawling their eyes out.
