The Sharks recently released 20 questions with Scott Nichol, asked by television color guy Drew Remenda, which has some interesting answers. This is just a series that has already gotten answers from Dany Heatley and Dan Boyle.

Some highlights:

Drew: Most embarrassing moment in hockey?
Scott: Missing on an empty net.
Drew: When?
Scott: Me? I never miss on those!

Already an upgrade on about 2/3 of our bottom 6 last year. And I’m totally serious – the Sharks couldn’t score on an empty net if their lives depended on it. Mike Grier actually hit the post on an empty net breakaway once (and yes, he was actually on a breakaway).

Drew: At what age should kids start dating?
Scott: Boys or girls?
Drew: Both.
Scott: Girls, never. And boys, maybe 18.

If you didn’t know Scott had at least one daughter already, you do now.

Drew: Biggest offensive threat – Dan Boyle or Douglas Murray?
Scott: What are you going by, preseason or regular season? Dan Boyle, probably.

I have a feeling that Murray’s preseason hat trick is going to be a recurring joke among Sharks players this season. Hell, it’s already a running joke among fans.

Drew: Team you hate playing against?
Scott: Detroit.
Drew: Player you hate playing against?
Scott: All of Detroit.

And thus, Scott Nichol is a good product of the Central Division, and hates Detroit. He will fit in well here.
