KNBR Interviews, WCQF Game 1

I'm feelin' kinda gassed after yesterday's game. That first playoff game at the Tank is always a doozy. It's hard for me to fall asleep, let alone sleep well after that experience.

I'm not pissed about the outcome, just a wee bit disappointed. I'm not worried, though, Sunday will be a better day!

Anyway, here are some links for your listening pleasure:

Pre-game interviews (just to hear some Sharks brass regarding what's on deck for the playoffs):

Doug Wilson

Post-game interviews:
Mark "Los Tiburones" Purdy
Drew Remenda

Maybe WW will attempt to repeat this on Tuesday night... we could only be so lucky.

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!

Interview with Blake

I wasn't sure if everyone saw this interview on NHL.com with Blake.

Murray is a double fister

I found this little gem online, this was post playoffs last year....might explain the double buds.  In 16 games, they'll be drinking those beers out of a very large "Cup".

There was a little more distasteful picture of Murray after about 20 more beers which I will leave offline.  It is currently blown up, laminated, and hanging above my fireplace....

This may be the only "value-add" that More Teeth Than You can provide over every other Sharks blog on the interwebs:

Print this out and stick it up in your work box (i.e. cubicle). Or your bathroom (if that's where you normally conduct "your business")...

All times and channels are strictly Bay Area. Feel free to break out your favorite Sharpie® and modify as necessary. Sorry 'bout the TBDs, but I can only work with what they give me...

The Hockey Song

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

No, I don't mean tax season!

In hono(u)r of the beginning of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, I present to you: Stompin' Tom Connors' classic, enhanced with 110% effort!



Hanson Brothers/Nomeansno rule, btw...

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!

Why can't Sharkie do a cool commercial like this?
