Next Up: Sharks @ Blackhawks


Wednesday, Mar. 25 @ 5:30, TV: CSN-BA+

The Sharks are on the road again for their last regular season tilt against the 'Hawks. Unlike those bums from Colorado, this team has a plethora of up-and-coming talent. On the other hand, going 3-5-2 in your last ten games with a win streak of one game is no reason to start sucking each other's dicks. Looks like a young team slumping at the wrong time...

The Sharks will be without Captain Reproduction for at least this game, but it sounds like J.R. might be back in the lineup. I worry about the old man. He slings a mean shaving cream pie, but those wings just ain't what they used to be. Let's hope one doesn't fall off if he does play. We'll need him in the post-season.

On a positive note, the Woostah kids that are up to fill in for the injured aren't killing us and all this live bullet action they're getting doesn't hurt one bit when one of our regulars goes down in the playoffs. Gotta have depth. Even shrimpy depth (5'8", my ass)...

The Blackhawks won't catch Detroit, Columbus probably won't catch Chicago, so they're fighting for the 3, 4 or 5 slot. I guess there's some motivation there, but it ain't as much as trying to maintain home ice throughout. The Wings just finished off a comeback against Edmonton, so they are back in the points lead, yet we have a game in hand.

Ready for more standings ping pong?

Go Sharks!

  1. Well put sir. It's crunch time and its starting to really show all across the league. I hope the Sharks have some sort of clause in there contract with Marleau that all his kids have to play for the Sharks in the future...you know they're gonna be good.

    Love the Pulp Fiction reference
