These back to backs cause hell with the social life I pretend to have. As you are probably aware, whenever I don't have a whole lot to say I throw up a reference to some arbitrary song selection that may or may not apply to the upcoming game. After clicking "publish", I hope you, oh esteemed reader, will look past the glaring faults in the specific post and just enjoy the darn game.
There's been a lot to enjoy lately.
With the usual pessimism concerning the San Jose Sharks (where is the speed through the neutral zone! Where are the bodies in front of the net! Why aren't we shooting from the point!) basically a moot point right now, there isn't too much to touch upon. Last night's win against Dallas was fulfilling in a sick, twisted way. Besides seeing Chris Hansen bust some creep on national television, there's nothing I can think of that makes me grin from ear to ear more than watching Patrick Marleau capitalize on a Marty Turco error; throw in the fact that it occurred in the last 30 seconds of regulation, and you have a happy human. Well, make that roughly 17,496 happy humans. Plus all of you watching on television. Whatever- it makes for some happy times. Times so good that last night I considered the ill-advised idea of karate chopping Bas Rutten (seriously, click that link) in the neck due to the sheer joy of the situation. Fortunately for my family's upcoming Thanksgiving picture, I just sort of did an Elaine Benes esque dance in my bedroom. With the lights off. And the door locked. Lemme tell ya, it could have gotten ugly.
On that note, let's see what The Great One has to say about his team's upcoming battle against San Jose:
"First of all, I don’t think it’s a big surprise to anybody, their record," Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky said. "They’ve got a good hockey club. They have size, they have speed, experience, goaltending. They have good coaching.
"For a team that’s been so close, knocking on the door, you learn from that. I think last year’s loss in the playoffs was tough for them, and I think they’re a determined group right now that wants to excel. When you have determination and talent to go with it, you’re a touch team to beat."
Sounds just about right to me. Oh, and here's that song selection I was rambling about earlier. See how I tie everything together?
Prediction: Sharks win 3-0. Goals by Clowe, Roenick (!!!), and Brian "Waterboy" Boucher. Nothing like an empty netter, yo.
[Editor's Note]: If anyone knows a place to stream the Phoenix feed online, let us know in the comments. The usual suspects (Channelsurfing.net) are no dice. Fortunately, I'm blessed with Center Ice and will be getting the feed live (read: nanny-nanny-poo-poo). If not, the aforementioned sjsharks.com link will get you Dan Rusanowsky and Jamie Baker. Two of the best in the biz.
Go Sharks.

I KNOW WHERE A STREAM IS!!!

sorry
i might not be able to do the goal horning tonight, but i’ll probably be here for the first period
Slacking off first day on the job eh? I have two words for you sir.
No problem idunno :)
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
I’ve always been a big fan of watching other team’s broadcasts- the guy who does the Buffalo Sabres in particular. Amazing voice.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Michalek might have gotten a stick on it, camped out in the high slot. Pavelski with a solid screen in front of Bryzgalov.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
I've always really liked Shane Doan
Might be one of the most underrated captains in the league.

This game
We’ve spent more time on the power play that at even strength. Weird, wild stuff.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Tikhonov gets one back for the 'Yotes
Seemed to have bounced off Murray’s skate.
Fun fact: Tikhonov used to play with my buddy in San Jose

Pull up your britches
We’re in for a wild one with the desert dogs.

What a joke.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Not sure- I’m watching on Center Ice. idunno723 what say you?
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Another DUI Commercial
From a different lawyer? What’s the problem in Phoenix eh?
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
First Period Thoughts Anyone?
We’re not moving our feet at all, passes aren’t going tape to tape- we look flat. Flat like the Earth.

Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
It’s sort of a carry over from last night’s third period. We’re getting outworked on the boards.
Going to have to fight for the win tonight. I have a feeling Bryzgalov is going to turn it on.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
They sure do fall into lull's every once in a while.
And now Plihal is in the box…

Boucher
Has a really nice glove hand.
Ah, not that kind of glove hand.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Hamburger helper!
Definitely a candidate for game threads.
Possibly if a goaltender gives up a “meaty” rebound?
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
And the Sharks subsequently put the rebound in the back of the net.

I think this is his older brother:

Definitely- the Sharks looked like they got their legs back that period.

John Grisham just read this thread
“Time to bust out the ol typewriter boys”

Tonight, after Knight Rider...
it’s the season premier of LAW TIGERS. They’re loose cannon lawyers who DON’T PLAY BY THE RULES.
EXPLOSION!

By the way
This gets funnier and funnier the more I read it.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
I guess you could say the Law Tigers gave him a “novel” idea.
Ha?
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
I have to say- it took some guts to click on that link. Name looks like a whole lot of trouble.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
You read mine
Dirty old men’s minds Great minds think alike
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
At first I didn’t know what you were trying to say. Then I figured it out.
(calls mom crying)
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Looking forward to the third period
Here we gooooo!
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
We're buzzing right now
Getting some good opportunities, testing Bryzgalov. He’s passing the test thus far, but look for Joe Pavs to get involved in a goal. He’s looked solid.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Thorton looks like he could hit the twine soon too.

Sharks on the Power Play
Carcillo closes his hand around the puck- who did that last night?
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Some solid chances- puck seems to be bouncing on us a bit.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Final TV Timeout here in Phoenix
We’ve been looking good the last two periods. Three and a half minutes to figure out how to put one in the back of the net.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Boyle Takes A High Stick Penalty
Blood on the ice from the face of Carcillo. Four minute penalty- looks like we’ll be on the PK for the duration of this tilt.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Game, set, match
What a set of saves by Waterboy though- wow.
Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
Solid Final Two Periods
We had our opportunities, couldn’t bury them. Not a head-scratching effort at least.
btw for anyone interested- NHL Center Ice has a new song. And. It. Rocks.
