Blades are leading the IHL as of the last info I have."
 
maybe this is a reeeeeeeally stupid question, but since the Blades are leading
the IHL, and the Sharks are currently in the basement of the NHL, shouldn't
Shark management get the idea to. . . do a little creative reapportioning of
talent?

is E. J. Powers related to Buddy Powers, the RPI coach, who played for Boston
University from about 73-75?  (And presumably was part of a beanpot-winning
team at least once.)  Anyone know?  Thanks.
