Next Up: Sharks vs. Coyotes

Thursday, Apr. 9 @ 7:30, TV: CSN-BA (HD (I don't care, I'll be there!))

After minimal internal debate, I figured that I could get away with skipping any weak ass recap of the Avs game and just post this:



That pretty much sums it all up. I'm amazed that I was able to wake up this morning after enduring that snoozefest. Fortunately, these individual skills competitions have no place in deciding real sports' playoffs. (Yes, that was absolutely a dig at soccer!)

So...

The magic number for the Sharks sits at 2 for the best record in the League and the $350K (Canadian) which the team will receive (and likely donate to a "reading is fundamental" program). [It appears that it is impossible to locate the Jeff Friesen G.O.A.L.S. commercial online. Rats!]

Just one point will win the Western Conference for San Jose.

The Coyotes are better than the Avalanche, but not by much. Cap'n Repro will apparently be back, as will everybody's favorite Newfie. These are good things. Add in the fact that we're gonna get free shit for Fan Appreciation Night, and it should be good times all around! (Seriously, it's gonna be hard to top those fleece blankets from last season. If they hand out fucking towels I will wipe my ass with mine.)

I am so ready to wrap it up and get going with the playoffs. I actually just considered blowing up the Staples Center so that the out-of-the-playoffs Kings would forfeit our last game and we could just wait for our WCQF matchup to be decided...

Go Sharks!

p.s. I used the old Coyotes logo because... it really sucks.

Next Up: Sharks vs. Coyotes

Saturday, Mar. 28 @ 7:30, TV: CSN-BA (HD (Yays!))

Here we go again. Rematch between the top and the bottom of the Pacific Division, this time on home ice. Hopefully we can pick up those two points the Red Wings left on the table last night. It'd help if one or two of our seventeen injured players made it back into the lineup. (OK, seventeen's a bit of an exaggeration, but sometimes it sure feels like that many.)

Let's see more of this:



and less of this:



Go Sharks!

Next Up: Sharks @ Coyotes

Tuesday, Mar. 17 @ 7:00, TV: CSN-BA+

Let's face it, the Coyotes suck. They are in rebuilding mode with no cash to rebuild with. It's a pretty sorry state of affairs for one grossly overpaid coach who also happens to be one of the best hockey players of all time.

Tough shit, O Great One!

The Desert Dogs poop their beds and the Sharks regain their scoring touch in one fell swoop. I'm thinking 3 goal differential at the end of regulation...
