He would never try to hurt anybody.”īig boys lead comeback as Sharks start homestand with critical win So, it looked a lot worse than it was there. When they clicked, Kevin lost his balance and came backward and his whole momentum took (Bozak) down. He was trying to get leverage and their skates clicked. “I understand what Kevin was trying to do,” Boughner said. San Jose was then put on its heels and fell behind 1-0 on the ensuing Blues power play.īoughner, though, also felt there was no malicious intent on Labanc’s part. Labane was given a tripping penalty on the ice, and Boughner thought it was an awful penalty to take 200 feet from the Sharks’ net. Louis Blues center Tyler Bozak in the first period of Thursday’s game. LABANC’S SUSPENSION: Boughner said he had two ways of looking at the one-game suspension the NHL gave to forward Kevin Labanc on Friday for slew-footing St. You would think that he’s scored enough goals from the half-wall while they’re on the power play, but he’s still popping them in. “So obviously he works on the skills that he has every summer. “You look at his numbers, and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down,” Ferraro said. Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro agreed with Couture that Ovechkin will break Gretzky’s record, which was established over 20 seasons.
The elite of the elite are still able to do what they do in this game.” “Players are still able to do that and contribute. “We saw (Joe Thornton) and Patty (Marleau) play very well into their late 30s and even into their 40s,” Couture said. 12, scoring once and adding an assist in Washington’s 4-3 win over Columbus.

Don't let my awkward playing fool you, this bass is full of inspiration.San Jose Sharks say Alex Ovechkin will pass Wayne Gretzky And you just don’t get to see something like this everyday. The overall package is mind blowing, the craftsmanship is top notch and makes this bass a piece of fine art. This Marleaux Contra is on par with any of them yet has its own entity. I’ve played some of the best fretless basses out there such as Rob Allen, FBass, Fodera and Ken Lawrence. I was literately shocked when I first plug this in. It’s not the most grawly sounded fretless, but it’s probably the most rich one so far. This bass defaults in passive with tone control, and can be switched to active mode with a 2 band EQ.
The amount of resonance from the semi-hollow body is crazy, it has a full, rich and sweet overall sound plus a very unique air-ness in the sound quality. But don’t get me wrong, this bass sounded extremely musical and unique. Action is low and tight.Īlthough it’s built in the construction and look of the upright, overall sound is still like an electric fretless, mostly because it has 2 magnetic pickups and not some kind of piezo system.
The neck joint is carved nicely that it’s effortless to reach all position throughout the fingerboard. Balance perfectly in both standing and sitting position. The shape and design is tasteful visually and thought after ergonomically. It’s on part with any of the highest end, most expensive basses out there.
Contra is their semi-hollow model, comes in both fretted and fretless form. There’s the Diva with unique look, the single cut bass, and many other models that covers all kind of bass needs. Marleaux bass has been around since the early 90s building hand made instruments, They’ve been building very unique instruments that you’ve never seen before, and only few dealers in North America has a few of their instruments. There was first the Violin bass by Hofner in German, then until recent year, another German luthier Marleaux had build a semi-hollow electric bass with upright bass in mind. Throughout the years, there were many variation and improvements over all kinds of combinations and designs. It was first made with frets on so that it’s easier to play, what’s also why it was called the precision bass.
They were initially made to do what the upright bass do in a smaller, more portable package. Electric bass was first invented in the 30s by Paul Tutmarc, then it was mass-produced in the 50’s by Leo Fender and the rest was history.
