I haven't had much time to watch any Western Conference games but apparently Bill Guerin is pointless in San Jose (login info.). He's been playing with Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski, so it's not like he's stuck on a fourth line. Guerin has been streaky since he left Boston a few years back. Injuries have been an issue but it's kind of a strange thing. He looked like a whole new player in St. Louis. The Sharks should figure out how to trick him into thinking he's still there. Maybe hypnosis or something.

Here are the quick hits:

• Road Hockey Rumble is a TV show! See what I mean here.
• Mike Grier is a patient, forgiving guy.
• SportsMemorabilia.com interviewed me.

Is anyone out there going to the Eastern Sociological Society meeting this weekend? Feel free to drop me a line.
