[Open Thread] Game Six: Philadelphia Flyers at San Jose Sharks (Saturday October 18, 2008)



@
0-3-1 4-1-0
5th Atlantic Division 1st Pacific Division
15th Eastern Conference 1st Western Conference


Like last night, the Sharks opponent is a team that's struggled coming out of the gate.  Hopefully the result won't be the same as last night's 4-0 roasting by the Ducks.

No Milan Michalek or Douglas Murray tonight, with Tomas Plihal a maybe.  Expect to see Alexi Semenov (oh joy) and Brad Staubitz on the ice.  Also expect to see a more aggressive power play in terms of skaters planting themselves in front of the Flyers net, especially after last night's 0 for 7 with the man advantage.

As to the Flyers, expect it to be a toss-up as to which group will be more boorish -- the ones on the ice in Philadelphia jerseys or the ones in the stands with Philadelphia jerseys.  Not a lot of finesse with either group.

DVR-d it

I frickin love DVR. A-maz-ing game. I feel like punching semenov in the mouth, and am still wondering why he’s even on the team at all, but we’re good enough to make up for our(his) mistakes.

that game shows the character of this team, should be one hell of a matchup on wednesday.

Turning Points

It was a great game, I had the good fortune to be in the building. During the first period the mood in the building was very tentative. There was an undertone of “oh no, here we go again” (referring to the previous game in Anaheim as well as the overall team mentality). I think the no-quit Sharks we saw last night was hopefully in line with Todd McLellan’s championship philosopy (I elaborate on my blog if you’re interested). You gotta play like champions in October if you want to win like one come May.
