http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/5059 Recent articles about Dan Hinote en-us - The San Jose Sharks announced 2 more training camp roster cuts on Sunday. Veteran Dan Hinote was released from his professional tryout contract and goaltender Alex Stalock was assigned to San Jose's AHL affiliate in Worcester. Hinote played in 3 preseason games and registered a goal in a 6-2 loss to Vancouver at HP Pavilion. Unfortunately he took a cross-checking penalty with 19.4 seconds left in the exhibition opener against Los Angeles, allowing Kings captain Dustin Brown to tie the ...

Dany Heatley is on his way to the Pacific Coast to be the scoring option Joe Thornton needs, and the Sharks are shipping two younger players to Ottawa in return, Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo. San Jose also yields a second-round pick and gets a fifth-rounder in return. Thus the Sharks lines project as follows: Heatley-Thornton-Devin Setoguchi, with Boyle and Huskins as the f...

Barring any trades, that should continue without significant changes for the 2009-10 season. One noticeable item on the top-6 forward chart is the fact that 7 players are listed. Despite being slotted as a 3rd line winger in one offseason depth chart, Devin Setoguchi c...

To some, the changes promised by General Manager Doug Wilson have not been plentiful enough. This offseason, the Sharks have waived good-bye to forwards Mike Grier, Thomas Plihal, and Marcel Goc, as well as defensemen Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich. Both of whom were traded to the Vancouver Canucks. San Jose has also lost the legends Jeremy Roenick and ...

The initial phase of training camp gets under way at 2 p.m. Saturday — and, yes, I’m advised the session is open to the public — when rookies skate for the first time. Veterans won’t be out there until a week from Sunday and that’s when the 32-year-old Hinote will begin trying to make San Jose the third ...

While professional sports are certainly far less significant in the greater scope of human history compared to the moon landings, the Minnesota Wild still need to take one more little step so it can take its giant leap to a true ...

Unfortunately if you live in Canada east of the Alberta Border you didn't get to see the best period of the 2008/09 season as you were still watching the Pens and Flyers battle it out in OT. I'm sure that was exciting, but I guaranty it didn't match what the Blues and Canucks were doing at GM Place here in Vancity. There were only 12 shots total in that epic first period, but it was th...

The majority of diving calls are actually reversed by the league office. Great vote of confidence to see the NHL de-legitimizing its own officials, and allowing scoring to be even more inflated. It's sad to see the NHL devolving. A bunch of guys who couldn't even keep the league afloat for a year are changing the rules of a game that has flourished for more than a century.
