Thank you very much. Be sure to look for my book of Haikus, entitled "Haikus? I Got Your Haikus Right Here", at better bookstores and gas stations everywhere.

TEAM MVP: I'm gonna go with Jeff Friesen. No doubt, he sucked in the playoffs, but he was the man during the regular season. Friesen led the Sharks in scoring with a career high 31 goals and 63 points. He also led the club with seven power-play goals, six short-handed goals, and seven game-winners. That's a nice season.

SURPRISE: Rookie defenseman Andrei Zyuzin performed above expectations. In 56 games, Zyuzin had six goals, 13 points, and was a +8. He should have a bright future in the Shark Tank.

DISAPPOINTMENT: He's one of LCS Hockey's favorite players, but Owen Nolan had a brutal season. Nolan clocked just 14 goals and 41 points in 75 games. Ugh, I feel sick after reading those numbers... somebody pass the Nyquil. It's the coughing, sneezing, Nolan sucked so you can rest medicine.

OFF-SEASON CHANGES: The Sharks have already taken a bite out of the free agent market, signing Gary Suter to a three-year, $10-million contract. Suter will be a quality addition. I'd tell you more about the Sharks, but it's not really my job. But if you'd like to hear another Haiku, just let me know...
