Guest Writer: Finding Leadership + Thoughts on the Goon Squad

Great read, Tim!

Thinking they have to move the two big guys or give their letters back to them. Not a good move on the Sharks part IMO. This stuff blows up, typically creates a divide. I know Thornton and Marleau can put on a face to please fans but inside they are fuming. Sunshine is likely the only reason they are not demanding a trade.

Dan Carcillo is still available.

Goons are becoming a dying breed in the NHL, the newcomers who fight have some ability and hockey skill. So between the Sharks and Flames who intentionally brought in goons is a complete waste of a roster spot.

Also the Sharks should make Boyle wear the C....

Hey at least he doesn't chop at a guys knees with a stick like princess phill.

Sure, the Western Conference is a tough place to play, but do you really need John Scott?


No, you don't, he can't play and no one has to fight him. He's about as useless as they come in today's NHL.

Jumbo should get his C back if he has a good camp.

Hopefully the Leafs will only dress Orr or FML when we play the Sharks.

Good blog.

Interesting..... was thinking more mandarin

San Jose should go for Callahan, maybe trade Jumbo or Marleau. It would shake things up for sure.

"The way I see it: If the Sabres no longer want the behemoth that they let through the gates of the NHL in the first place then no one should want him."


Scott played for 3 different teams before playing for Buffalo. Started his NHL "career" in 2008, went to Buffalo in 2012.

Please don't pin him being in the league on Buffalo.

Marleau and Thornton take all the heat. But they are still the two best players and two best leaders on the team. The rest of the group needs to step up. Problem for the Sharks is that the guys behind them are good players but are not leaders. Letters dont really mean much. Natural leaders will lead whether they have a letter or not. And no one other than Joe and Patty have what it takes.

Haha yah Phil should of just let Scott punch him in the face like a "man". Seemed like a fair fight and Phil wanted to go as well.

Not like he was attacked but someone that absolutely no one would consider a real hockey player. 17 goalies outscored him last year. GOALIES.

You'd stand there and let the big useless oaf punch you? Or you'd be fine is say Colton Orr went after Reinhart?


Thought not...
