If your a Sharks fan, get used to it, bmarkey. He did that maneuver regularly when he played in Buffalo (not usually that deep and resulting in a goal). Get used to the spin-o-rama.
There are still those in Buffalo that are hopeful that Campbell will sign with the Sabres in the off-season, but I doubt Sabres management will shell out the money someone else will pay him.
He's a great talent. A lot of fun to watch. (Not the best defenseman in the league by any stretch, if you actually want him to defend though.)
I do like the Sharks, but sadly I don't get to see them that often. All the hockey I see on TV comes via Hockey Night In Canada. The only reason I saw that particular game was that I was visting my parents, who live close enough to San Jose to pick up the occasional game on their dish.
Beautiful spin-o-rama, truly.
That hit was solid. The dazed and confused look of the dropped player said it all.
Last night, Toskala didn't quite get his body behind this toss of a shot from waaay away.
I know how he felt, as a goalie, I let one in like that this winter. From the opposite end of the ice, lofted along the ceiling, bounced, bounced and whoops, I let it in. I dropped into a butterfly, knees not quite closed, slid right through me.
Next time I'll skate out and catch the pop fly./
