The Pielmeier: Timo Pielmeier shines in All-Star game.


This picture is quite funny and sexy..He no longer plays for the team that is on his jersey


He was the property of a rival not only is it a sport rivalry(includes the MLB, , MLS (Major League Soccer), NBA and the NFL) but there's this whole contention between the two areas; Northern California and Southern California, long since competitors economic wise,  and particularly just in a general competition wise. Northern California has conspiracy theories against Southern California, from So Cal stealing its water (which would also account for electricity since that is how in part, electricity is run), to the fact that SoCal infected NorCal with the H1N1 (Swine Flu).The two places are different cultures, literally.

He pulled on that rival's jersey at the draft in 2007. A hording Shark swimming and aggressively biting a hockey stick on his chest. Goaltender Timo Pielmeier was acquired  by the Anaheim Ducks last season in exchange for Kent Huskins and Travis Moen. Huskins went over to San Jose still with an impeding, stubborn injury where he did not play the remainder of the season. Moen played with the Sharks for the remainder of the season, including the playoffs.Huskins has since signed a one year contract with the Sharks and Moen signed with the Montreal Canadiens.

Timo was one of the few Ducks prospects to be invited to the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) All-Star game. Shawn Weller and Eric Regan were also the other Ducks prospects invited to play in the ECHL All-Star Game; all three are part of the Ducks' ECHL Affiliate the Bakersfield Condors. Sasha Pokulok  of the Condors was also invited, he was second in the hardest shot competition, only one other player was in the triple digits A.J. Thelen topped him at 101.9 mph.   Pokulok's shots were 101.5 and 101.2. There has yet to be a player to beat out Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins' shot the towering 6'9 255lb defense man clocked the hardest shot in the 2009 NHL All-Star game at 105.4mph. The Western Conference would fall to the Eastern Conference in a shootout with the final score adhering to 9-10. Timo Pielmeier turned away 12 of 14 shots in the third period, two of those in an impressive fashion. Timo  was born in Dreggendorf, Germany and he is a highly regarded goalie in the Ducks organization, he was one in the Sharks organization as well. Pielmeier was one of the goaltenders invited to camp and attached to Jonas Hiller quickly, who fluently speaks the same home language as [Timo] the difference is small as Hiller speaks Swiss German and Timo speaks the original language. (Although, there are different dialects of German and accents, such as between Munich and Berlin)

Pielmeier is 10th in the ECHL with a 2.89 goals against average (GAA) and he is third with 16 victories. Pielmeier is smooth and quick in his transitions, he is athletic, confident and focused in just about every game he plays. Go Timo Go! He is pushing for the No 3 goalie which Justin Pogge, who came from the Toronto Maple Leafs virtually for free (just in exchange for a draft pick) Pogge is currently considered the Ducks' No 3 goaltender.
