Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

IMO, this candidate likely emerged following the Aeros receipt of a rejection FROM Trent Yawney (current Sharks Asst coach)....who wanted to remain with the Sharks in the hope of a Stanley Cup winner during the 2011-12 Season.

With the acquisition of Brent Burns and Martin Havlatt (from the Wild) through the Devin Settiguchi and Dany Heatley recent trades, the Sharks have improved their prospects to win the CUP.

Go Aeros!
