45 years barely qualifies as a warmup for disappointment. Congrats. I really enjoyed watching them pull it off.
-
Glad someone could fill me in. I always record the games because they start before I get home. I was able to see two of the overtime periods. And then the recording was over...

Patrick Kane "game issued" size 58+ ? He's 5-11 180 lbs...

What has seemed consistent in the NHL recently?
-
Yes, that plan to combine the NHL and the WWE was brilliant!

More of a cry than a laugh... http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-Authentic-Vesa-Toscala-San-Jose-Sharks-Koho-Size-60-Hockey-Jersey-Mint-Sewn-/150782497759?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item231b5653df I struggled mightily with this. I love that jersey but, in the end, I chickened out on the stripping job.

If you look at this less-than-ideal photo, you get a hint that the numbers may be right: http://blackhawkslegends.blogspot.com/2007/04/dirk-graham.html Now look carefully at this link: I think they are correct.

There are some easy give-aways on Sharks thirds. Counterfeiters frequently botch the laces: The laces should be white The grommets should be black. Counterfeits often have white or metallic grommets. The grommets on counterfeits are often placed too high relative to the NHL shield.
-
The border on the shoulder patches is too thin. The 8s appear to be too close together - That can just be the customizing but the counterfeits always seem to have that issue...

If you limit the search to title only, you will get rid of the ticket sales. Unfortunately, I find that the CL adds in my area consist largely of ridiculous fakes and people that think a signed replica is worth $300+. That said, good deals pop up here and there so I keep checking.

I wasn't really upset with Joe - the reason he didn't sign my jersey was that I let all the kids have first shot. If I _really_ wanted Joe's signature, I could have approached him in the parking lot or gone to practice another day. The accessibility for the Sharks is amazing. Unfortunately, one bad story like that tends to wipe out a lot of positives. Hockey players are generally very generous. I think it is part of their "sports upbringing."

I was 4, I don't remember it, which is a drag considering the Blue Jays' fortunes for, well, the last 18 years. When they reach a century, I might be able to offer some sympathy/empathy.

With time, you might find that the shoulder "patches" on the Premier annoy you nearly as much as plastic numbers. Be sure that you are OK with that. You asked specifically about a Sharks jersey - SportsK did a nice job with mine about a year ago. Why did I pick them? They were the only place that 1) had the jersey I wanted and 2) had positive feedback in this forum.

I'd like to thank Legend for "authenticating" this for me. This was listed on Craig's list and the pictures were pretty grainy. So many bogus jerseys are listed there... I was having trouble contacting the seller so I was looking at other options. Glad I persisted, the jersey was worn one time; the seller was terrific. So this marks my entry into CCM (and some eye-rolling from my wife). It was nice to be able to try the jersey on without having to mail order. I have been wanting to get some calibration on CCM sizing. This is a XXL - I was pleasantly surprised by the fit. Very nice! Shorter in the body than the Premier XXL or Edge 60 (no surprise) but the sleeve length (how far down my arm it hangs) is about the same. I might make it into a Clowe.

Thanks much, I finally managed to reach the seller - I plan to pick it up tomorrow.
