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 4

Thursday, Apr. 23 @ 7:30, TV: CSN-BA (HD)

There can only be one...

LET'S GO SHARKS!!!

There's Something White on Your Eye

Labrador is in the same province as Newfoundland. Who knew? (Quiet, you 'nucks!)

The Hockey Gods Have Smiled Upon Us

Now I'm not normally one to gloat over things like this, but this is just too good to be true...

As I was making my way home up the 101, what did I spy with my little eye just before the Embarcadero exit? That's right, something beginning with D. As in duck. A dead duck, laid out smack dab between the second and third lanes.

When was the last time you saw duck roadkill?

Squirrels? Of course...

Dogs? Cats? Sadly, it happens...

This could have been nothing other than a sign of things to come for the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. I'm cool with that!

Get used to it.

Finally!

The first true Battle of California since the Oakland Seals played the Los Angeles Kings way-y-y back in the day...

A few thoughts:

Regular season series results: Sharks 4-2. Probably would've been 5-1 if it wasn't for the previously documented sewer breath in the second to last meeting...

Corey "Crybaby" Perry will have our killer power play on the ice more often than not. Unless he gets suspended at some point. That wouldn't be much of a surprise. Chris "Stompy" Pronger has his own history of League-imposed vacations during the playoffs, so perhaps he'll step out for a game or two for old times' sake. Lack of discipline, check!

We can likely count on Teemu Selanne to miss a critical wraparound goal at some point.

This series should be a doozy!

See you Thursday, Quacks!

I am going to attribute last night's performance by the Sharks to the guy sitting next to me up in Section 206. This guy had breath that would knock a buzzard off a shit wagon! I mean, it was as if a family of squirrels had crawled down his throat and choked to death on their own fecal matter... a month ago! HORRIBLE.

So, yeah, that's probably why the Sharks played the way they did. That, and the fact that I don't think Cyrus ever showed up. Section 201, Row 6, orange hat? Helllloooo?!?

Taking all of that into account, I predict a much better performance by our guys down in Anaheim.

Go Sharks!

Next Up: Sharks vs. Ducks

Saturday, Apr. 4 @ 7:00, TV: CSN-BA (HD (I don't care, I'll be there!))

Preview of Western Conference Quarterfinals or just an opportunity to send the Ducks to the golf links? There's a lot hanging in the balance with these back-to-back games. Anaheim's playing like they belong in the playoffs, San Jose's pacing the league despite the makeshift roster...

Hmmmm, where's my 12 gauge? It's time to go Duck hunting!

Go Sharks!

Next Up: Sharks @ Ducks

Moener returns to the Pond for the first time since being traded and comes away with a Gordie Howe hat trick. Sounds good to me, at least...

Ducks suck! Quack! Quack!
