8. Kevin Compton and Stratton Sclavos, Sharks owners: Team's power structure became more clear in 2011 after Greg Jamison's departure. Ownership group has 10 people but Compton and Sclavos are at the top of the pyramid. Last year: Compton 6, Sclavos Not Ranked.

18. Doug Wilson, Sharks general manager: Always puts entertaining product on the ice that sells out HP Pavilion. Playoff games every year produce added dollars for an ownership group that implicitly trusts him. But the Stanley Cup remains elusive. Last year: 13.
4. Ted Griggs, vice-president and general manager, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area: Has built regional cable network into a must-view destination for Northern California sports fans. Partnership with the new Pac-12 network should bring even more influence. Last year: 3.
Comcast can go **** themselves. Sorry, I know that has nothing to do with the Sharks, but they can go **** themselves.

Is that why he was dropped five places? Seems a bit harsh if it is.

25. Larry Ellison, Oracle Corporation CEO and yachting major-domo: Wangled deal with San Francisco to host 2013 America's Cup races on the Bay, which he intends to dominate. Fans will get taste of sailing action with prelim races this summer. Last year: Not ranked.
He's on the list because he got a deal to host sailing races? That's just silly. Should have thrown in the Earthquakes GM instead.
Watching the Spengler Cup final on TSN and who should they be interviewing at the intermission right now? Sandis Ozolinsh!

PollakOnSharks 1:02pm via Web Couture (22) to Boyle (35) as they watch Alumni WC on locker room TV: "Danny, you should be playing in this game." Chirp, chirp, chirp.
Get to the Western Conference final again, and either lose in seven games or reward the few national people who keep buying what you’re selling and reach the Finals. You’re in a rut. Oh, and buy Brent Burns an adult crocodile.
i can't even remember the last time Ratto was positive. but don't worry, if the sharks ever do win, he will be on the post game show talking about it. pretty much ruining it for all Sharks fans.
David Pollak @PollakOnSharksAs #sjsharks go on VAN-ANA trip vs. teams they're 0-5 against, McLellan : "I’d like our guys to say enough is enough and find a way to win."
PollakOnSharks: Hmm. Niittymaki protecting one goal, Greiss the other as #sjsharks practice. Based on last week's info, does that mean Niemi sits one out?
