Favorite Shark: Can I plead the 5th? Ummm...Rob Davison?
Favorite Shark Prospect: Since Davison doesn't count anymore, it's Tim Conboy or Milan Michalek (who only counts in a loose sense).
Favorite hockey moment: First Spiders game in Daly City. I was on the glass, it was cheap, and I saw Ozo with a goal and 3 assists. The Spiders lost 3-1. He was traded soon afterwards. Too bad the Spiders were also traded after that year. League MVP and no team. How sad. STEPHANE!!!

Does the Bible account for your use of the word "corban?" (An old Jewish word that meant that something was of religious value and hence couldn't be lived without...obviously led to some abuses of the word.)

[Hockeycrazed07]

I've got to say, another memory of mine was the Called Shot against Hasek. I was on the glass for that game. Absolutely atrocious that he didn't get the MVP and Recchi did, even though the East won the game. He called his shot against the best keeper in the world, at the time, at home, no less! What earns more than that?

~Crazed.

 

[Ender]

Cheech, my sister's fiance is from Martinez. That's a long way from the Tank, my friend!

It's only 'bout 3 hours of driving from there too the Tank.(when theres no traffic only 2 h., but when is that???)

 

[Serena587]

Age 35 oldest here.....great

LOL, that's ok!! Until jc4shrx (and now you) posted to this thread, I was starting to think I was the oldest here.

 

[Hockeycrazed07]

It's only 'bout 3 hours of driving from there too the Tank.(when theres no traffic only 2 h., but when is that???)

...meaning you get home at midnight for night games. Icky when one has to work or go to school in the morning. Even worse, my sis's fiance works down here in SJ, so he comes down, goes to a game, and then gets home at midnight only to come down again at 5 to get to work by 8. Poor guy!
