commentary...

in the case of Brad Stuart going to the San Jose Sharks,from the Detroit Red Wings,with a chance to sign with them,there is a personal note to this:Stuart played for the Sharks,his first six years in the NHL,and his family never left San Jose,so he made it clear,to basically everyone "in the room" that he wanted to play closer to home... out of respect for Brad,i will cheer,and smile for him the first time that the Sharks play the Red Wings,next season,per my custom,but i know that beating the Sharks,is priority number one,outside the Central Division,because i "despise" the Sharks(laughing),but do respect them no doubt... to get back to Stuart,for a moment:he came to the Red Wings,via a trade deadline deal,with the Los Angeles Kings,in 2007-2008,played nine games in regular season,for them,and then twenty one games in playoffs,on their run to the Stanley Cup,in 2008,so for that,i am grateful,for his name is on the Stanley Cup... my opinion:i hope the Red Wings beats San Jose,all four games,next season,but knowing how much the Sharks play like the Red Wings(at least last season),it will be tough...
