2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals Schedule

Sharks vs. Blues. Ahhh, this matchup brings me back...

Reminds me of Owen Nolan blasting one past Roman Turek from center ice in the year 2000. Those Blues were President's Trophy winners. This year's Blues came mighty close. The Sharks were probably overachieving back then. This current team, well, let's just say they sure as shit have better players than a 7th place showing in the West would indicate!

It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out. Going 0-4 against the Hitchcocks during the regular season isn't exactly a promising sign of things to come. Fortunately, San Jose has won seven of their last ten games and might just be hitting their stride at the right time. But as the old saying goes: regular season results don't mean dick come playoff time!

Here's the printable schedule. Let's do this...

2011 Western Conference Finals Schedule

Holy crap, what a series against the Red Wings! For the second season in a row, the Sharks have knocked off the flying wheel thingamajigs. A classic for the ages...

Up next, a battle of vicious ocean predators. And ginger twins (seriously, a pretty creepy genetic variant if you ask me!). The last meeting between these teams during the regular season was a fantastic match which ended with the 'Nucks winning in a silly skills competition. Expect some tight games (we should be used to this by now, right?). Both these teams have something to prove in the playoffs after disappointment last season. Who wants it more?

May Christian Ehrhoff shoot wide with great regularity!

GO SHARKS!!!

2011 Western Conference Semifinals Schedule

Rematch of last season's WCSF which the Sharks won in five games. Do the Wings still remember how to skate after sweeping the Yotes? Considering their advanced age, do they even remember last season's playoff exit?

Here we go again... Should be an epic series!

2010 WCQF - Sharks (1) vs. Avalanche (8)

Story "borrowed" from Puck Daddy

Staubtiz scores. Oh.. I picked him.

Heatley Bitch!

That's right ....6'4 224lbs, 2x 100 point scorer is now rumored to be a part of the San Jose Sharks. In a deal that sends Marleau to LA, and Frolov and Stoll to the Sens we look to kill the post season cancer the has grown on us for the last two seasons. Any season ticket holders wondering why Marleau was not pictured on your tickets...now you know. Thanks for the good times now fuck off to LA. Wondering why Nabby was not on the tix either? Correspondent Godzilla has assured me of another possible trade with Boston(no fuck Tim Thomas) for a possible back up goalie to make sure Nabby gets it done this final contract year...or hit the fuckin road too. No one is safe, I have no more love until you fucking redeem yourselves.

09-10 season sneakin' up quick.

One month to go.

WOOT!!!

Stanley Cup Finals

OK, I'm making a brief appearance. Don't expect many more until next season.

It's rematch time!

I was already rooting for the Eastern Conference once the Sharks were unceremoniously removed from the playoff proceedings. Problem is, I was all about the Hurricanes. That (obviously) didn't work out so well...

I have to say, though, that this year's Pens are not the same as last year's Pens. I must give credit to Sidney "Sack Puncher" Crosby and Evgeni "Cro-Magnon" Malkin for their dominant play in these series.

I don't know how long Nick Lidstrom is going to be out, but I honestly don't give a shit. I hate the Red Wings. They are the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL. They can go fuck themselves in some creative train formation. "Hockeytown" is a real shithole and getting worse. Their fans don't know when to sit down. On TV broadcasts from "The Joe", I see more people moving around in the stands than I see play on the ice...

Shit is still shit any way you slice it.

FUCK DETROIT!!!

LET'S GO PENS!!!

p.s. I was gonna include some witty links, but I'm too lazy (and bitter) right now.

Fuck you, Sharks.

WCQF Game 6

Monday, Apr. 27 @ 7:30, TV: CSN-BA

They hate us.

We hate them.

Blocking a shot may be the difference between reaching Game 7 and reaching for your putter. Making a save might be the difference between attaining greatness or maintaining sameness. Firing the puck may be the difference between taking the lead or taking the loss.

Leave it all on the ice, boys...

LET'S GO SHARKS!!!

WCQF Game 5

Holy crap, there was a game yesterday?!?

WCQF Game 3

Tuesday, Apr. 21 @ 7:30, TV: Versus (HD)

Look, things got (admittedly) a bit ridiculous last season when we were invoking the power of 33 in the series against Dallas...

Nevertheless, I will quote David Pollak for a little perspective on where the Sharks stand at the moment:

Overall, only 12.7 percent of the 291 NHL teams that have trailed 2-0 in a seven-game series have come back to win it. That number nearly doubles to 24.4 percent, however, in the 66 instances where a team lost its first two games at home — a sign that the higher-seeded team has a better chance of reversing its course.

This is obviously not an ideal situation to be in, but I still believe that things will turn around beginning tonight. If the Sharks continue trending upward in the effectiveness of their play, the Ducks will have no answer. We have to expect that Anaheim will receive a little home cooking when it comes to officiating, which makes scoring on the reduced number of power play chances especially important. At least the seal has been broken on even strength scoring. If there's one bit of advice the Sharks need to pay attention to, it's "aim high on Hiller!". He covers everything down low. He's got trouble with high shots. Take advantage of this!

The funny thing is, if we had split the first two games and lost tonight, we would not be freaking out so badly. So if we win tonight (which I fully expect) we're 1-2 and things are not looking so grim. That's the approach we need to take...

LET'S GO SHARKS!!!
