Have you heard? Matt Nieto of the San Jose Sharks is from Long Beach. Long Beach, California. How crazy is that?! Pretty insane it seems, since every broadcast will remind you of that little fact every time he is on the ****ing ice. Randy or Bob, they both do it. One though mispronounces his name and the other enunciates it like he is a clown. But yeah, Matt Nieto is from Long Beach. Go figure. Of course Emerson Etem is from southern California also and plays for Anaheim. Boy, if the Ducks win their series, NBC is going to have a field day if Etem and Nieto line up against each other.
