The Sharks blue line is getting a boost Thursday vs. the Oilers, with Justin Braun and Dan Boyle returning to the lineup. Boyle missed Tuesday’s shootout win over the Ducks with some type of undetermined illness. From David Pollak: “Whatever it was, it kicked my ass,” he said after the morning skate. Boyle missed Wednesday’s practice but participated at the team’s morning skate on Thursday. Meanwhile, Jason Demers was activated by the team off the injured reserve on Wednesday. He takes the place on the roster vacated by Frazer McClaren, who was claimed off waivers by the Maple Leafs. Demers hasn’t played yet this season after breaking his wrist while playing in Europe during the lockout.

Via Los That Sports Blog  |  February 01, 2013
Tweet Eight days after 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick trademarked his “Kaepernicking” celebration, he’s already being mimicked in the sports world. On Thursday in the San Jose Sharks’ game against the Edmonton Oilers, Logan Couture scored a goal in the middle of the second period. To celebrate, he decided to borrow from the man taking snaps [...]

Via Outside the Boxscore  |  February 01, 2013
Previously on Outside the Boxscore, we featured a post talking about the art of "Kaepernicking" as made famous by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kapernick. During last night's San Jose Sharks/Edmonton Oilers affair, Sharks center Logan Couture scored a goal in the second period and decided to "Kaepernick" with his goal celebration: The Sharks...

Cam Gore: Sharks looking to keep streak alive against Edmonton

The Sharks put their undefeated 6-0 record up against the young but promising Oilers from Edmonton. People around the league are waiting for the Sharks to falter however they have been winning with experience from the veterans, solid and sound goaltending, and contributions from everyone.

Logan Couture scores then Kaepernicks (video)

Via Minus Twenty-Two  |  February 01, 2013
Logan Couture has been open on Twitter about his abiding and at times depressing (and maybe delusional) loyalty to the Buffalo Bills. But in Thursday’s shootout win over the Oilers, the Sharks forward gave a shoutout to the local 49ers. After putting the Sharks ahead, 1-0, in second period, Couture “Kaepernicked” by kissing his right bicep in celebration before he was mobbed...

All good things

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 30, 2013
Jason Demers is ready to play. He took slapshots Tuesday and Wednesday, and spent some extra time working with both Larry Robinson and Jim Johnson after Tuesday's practice.  Wednesday, he was practicing with a power play unit.  That would argue for Demers being in sooner than later.  My guess is that sooner would be even sooner if Boyle is still out Thursday.  Today, Frazer...
