IDK if they are still doing that. I heard that they bought a blade master sharpener

Here's a link to Phil's obituary in the Ithaca Journal http://miva.pressconnects.com/miva/cgi-bin/miva/ithndetail.mv?ARCID=1366&speak=ambis&fyear=05 It says that their father held the patent on the All-Pro Skate Sharpener.

From the San Jose Muercury News:

The Sharks will also make a change on defense tonight. Rob Davison will replace Doug Murray, who has not shown his usual thump since returning from an upper-body injury that sidelined him for the three games before the Olympic break.

``With the layoff and the injury, it seems that he has struggled to get going,'' Wilson said of Murray. ``He needs a little bit more practice time. Even the first few days that we practiced during the break, he wasn't able to go full speed. So we'll give him some time to catch up.''

Murray logged just 6 minutes, 19 seconds of ice time Saturday as Wilson doled out more short-handed shifts to Christian Ehrhoff.

Leneveu picked up his first shutout of the season on Saturday night, stopping all 25 shots he faced.

Lenny has quietly compiled some solid stats this season:  he has 9 wins, 15 losses, and 2 shoot-out losses, with a 2.95 GAA and a .918 SV% (tied for 6th best in the AHL).  Considering he's playing for perhaps the worst team in the league (San Antonio has a .355 winning % and has scored a whopping 118 goals through 62 games, by far the least in the league), those numbers are more than respectable.

Elsewhere in the AHL...Ryan Vesce picked up a goal in a 3-2 OT loss on Saturday night, and then scored the decisive goal in a 4-3 shoot out win on Sunday.  Vesce's line for the season so far:  14 goals and 35 assists for 49 points through 64 games, with a -22 +/- (ouch) and 42 PIM

Dougie was back in the lineup last night versus LA.  He logged 11:26 of ice time with no SOG or PIMs.

Doug Murray hasn't played the last two games.  SFGate indicated that versus the Avalanche (last night) he was a healthy scratch.  Matt Carle, my vote for Hobey (Denver) just signed with the Sharks and is with the team.

Lenevue recalled to Phoenix.

Lenny is playing goal for the Coyotes tonight.  After 1 period in Phoenix, he's stopped 10 of 12 shots and the game is tied 2-2.

I love how the Yahoo! pregame write-up for this game is an all-out love fest for Curtis Joseph, including:

"A victory in this contest would be the 424th of Joseph's career and move him past Tony Esposito for sole possession of sixth place on the league's all-time wins list. Joseph has more wins than any other goalie to not win the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender."

Congratulations, he's not starting tonight!  Morons.
