Remember when we all chalked up the loss on opening night to Joe Sakic's retirement ceremony? Turns out he's been channeling his inner Brett Favre and re and un-retiring before each game, because the Avalanche are 10-1-3.
James Mirtle put his career on the line yesterday (well, at least a potential one in Denver) when he mused about how sustainable this torrid pace would be. Behind The Net picked up on it as well, with both coming to the conclusion that things might not be as rosy as they appear.
Obviously, none of that matters tonight.
- Good to see Clowe bang the twine even if it occurred during the skills competition. I was hoping McLellan would call his name with the initial three to serve as a sparkplug to get him going this season, but a sixth round appearance worked out just fine in the grand scheme of things.
- The injuries have been a minor annoyance thus far. However, it's nice to see management taking a very methodical approach in getting these guys back out on the ice. McLellan seems to have learned his lesson from last season and I couldn't be more pleased.
- Speaking of which, when did I miss the ol' "Pavelski Goes On IR, Mitchell Comes Off" update? Assuming the official site can be trusted, there's no reason to activate Mitchell now because he is not playing tonight nor does the coaching staff expect him to make a game appearance any time in the immediate future-- you're eating up cap space for no reason at all. Bizarre.
- Patrick Marleau is a beautiful human being.
- One thing to watch tonight will be how well San Jose's defenseman can control the cycle. Los Angeles did a helluva job pounding the puck down low on Wednesday, and that seems like it's going to be opposing teams M.O. going forward. They've had some issues in this department all season long.
- Useless fact of the day: San Jose has six games on Friday this season, and played all of five in 2008-2009.
Prediction: Sharks win 4-1. Goals by Setoguchi, Pavelski, Mitchell, and Vesce.
Go Sharks.

Lol time zones are crazy...
These gameday threads are always so awesomely early! Love it :)
And since the Sharks’ loss got the Avalanche rolling (or retirement ceremony whichever) it may be fitting to have a Sharks’ win end their streak, because I’m with Mirtle.
Go Sharks.

Only way to control any kind of cycle is to gasp actually play defense. SOmeone call the Wiz and get Crankshaft on the list before the Scarecrow, and we’ll be set.

Has anybody noticed
That in Drew’s 20 questions players are consistantly picking Marleau as ‘the best player on the team’
Also, that fluff piece on him on the Sharks website was awesome… he let Heatley borrow his car… brave man.
Yeah, totally noticed that. Well, Boyle actually chose Murray, but he also chose Murray as a bigger offensive threat, so I’m just going to chalk it up to the running “Douglas Murray scored a hatty!” joke.

But, now thinking about it, Boyle’s comment about how Murray was probably the bigger offensive threat at that moment might have been a reference to his broken thumb.

Mitchell is still on IR
Despite the website, which hasn’t shown him on IR all season. I don’t know why, but I did notice that when they updated the pictures for the new guys that Mitchell wasn’t listed on IR then either.
They just suck at reporting about injuries at the Sharks organization, nothing new there.
All hockey teams suck at reporting injuries. Its just the way it is.

This is true. I don’t mind them not being specific with injuries to protect the players, but specifying if a player is on the IR doesn’t fool anybody except the fans- I’m sure every GM in the league has that information right at their fingertips.
Evilducks: So is Pavs on the IR? I’m on my phone and am way too lazy to try and search for it.

Pavs is on the Yahoo! Fantasy IR, which usually doesn’t lag more than a day or so behind official IR updates. He and Mitchell practiced today, though, according to WTC.
It's nothing but crumpled porno and Ayn Rand.
Yeah I saw that they’ve been skating with the team the last couple days but aren’t expected to be back until after the road trip.
Thanks for the Yahoo update.

The Sharks wont take anybody off IR until the day they return to the line up.

Assuming the official site can be trusted, there’s no reason to activate Mitchell now because he is not playing tonight nor does the coaching staff expect him to make a game appearance any time in the immediate future— you’re eating up cap space for no reason at all.

Great Quote
Great quote, from the Avalanche’s own SBN post. “The Avalanche, of course, are one of the worst teams in the NHL. Even though they currently lead the league in points with 22, and have set a new franchise-best opening record at 10-1-2, the wheels are about to fall off at any moment.”

Nobody on the MHH staff took Mirtle’s analysis personally, we just disagreed with his premise and his absolutist predictions of failure. The discussions we’ve had with him about it have been pretty civil and informative, I think.

I took it personally to an extent…last year was freaking ass painful. Persocet couldn’t even relieve that shit. So now we’re on a feel-good high. Let us enjoy it while it lasts, ya know? I think we earned it. Oh, and recognizing that the team is actually better than anyone gave them credit for…well, that would’ve been nice too.
Have a good game tonight, folks! Just don’t cry too much when you go 0-2 against the alleged worst team in the league.

You know, I really think there should be some sort of camaraderie between the two fanbases. I mean, you guys sucked in the regular season and got a bunch of crap for it, and we sucked in the post-season and got a bunch of crap for it. You guys are faced with the whole, “Yeah, they’re going to come back down to earth sometime,” and we’re dealing with, “It doesn’t mean anything until the playoffs, and then they’ll choke like always.” Two opinions based only on what happened last year.
Although, you guys do have those two Stanley Cups to fall back on. We don’t. So, nyah.

I was in your camp all year long (while we sucked rotten eggs, that is) and through the (short, sorry) playoff run, picking the Sharks to take the Cup. I had a few drinks the night your run ended.
And yes, we are in very similar situations right now. Camaraderie FTW!

Maybe to counteract the constant Joe Sakic retirment ceremonies, we need to have one of our own
I vote Vinny, Ricci and…………. are Friesen and Rathje officially retired now, or are they still playing somewhere?

Friesen was a duck longer than a shark
And I believe Rathje is still on long term injured reserve for Philly.

But then the Sharks traded him away for Scott Thornton’s cousin or something like that.

To be fair to Blake, he has channeled a little McLaren this year with some decent hip checks. Just have to work on that visor situation…

I'd argue
Blake has a longer history of hip checks of doom. Perhaps in a Sharks uniform Kyle was there first, but Blake has been introducing people to his gigantic ass for years.
But does Blake have a yellow visor? I think not. Therefore McLaren’s hip checks are better. Logical fallacies, FTW!

Marleau has kids now, so he doesn’t want guys to be bothered by them. I’d assume the same is true with Shelley, Nabokov, Blake, and Boyle. Thornton is a newlywed, and probably wants some alone time. Pavelski is somewhat of a newlywed as well. The rest of the guys are either new or young.
Anyways, he’ll get the news as to whether or not to find a place to rent in two days. I’m sure he can wait that long.

Put shot after shot after shot at what seemed like a brick wall until they finally cracked it and never stopped (well, until the last 30 seconds when I couldn’t figure out what was more retarded, failing to get an open netter or Danny flipping that puck out of play)
Seriously fun game to watch.
Av's announcers
Were actually really entertaining tonight. You lucky folk in San Jose can hear some of their stuff if you listen to the highlights.
I think my favorite part was they were talking about Blake’s rocket from the point (which was really effective tonight) and they were wondering if anybody from the Av’s had got the memo on number 4. Then somebody elbowed him in the head and made him even more angry then they go and knock out Thornton’s teeth and now he’s angry…
You hear on the hit in the 3rd they comment that they don’t think Joe is any less angry than he was in the second.
Finally… when Joe came back from the locker room and had blood on his face still did anybody else think he looked a bit like a brain hungry zombie?
Game was awesome … Anderson reminded me of Inspector Gadget with some of his moves … and unfortunately I like Gadget … so ugh!
Tomorrow I’ll have to tell you guys bout the guy on the train who spent over 20 minutes messing around with cleaning his glasses and fiddling with his other glasses in their case. Just anal as fuck.
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality? (boycott Hollywood!)

Ah, great game. The crowd was pretty in it tonight. Clowe’s goal definately got the loudest roar of approval. I think everyone was just as relieved that he finally scored as he was.
Also, Anderson is even better than I thought he was. And I liked him last year in Florida. He’s super quick post to post, solid positionally, and just a good all around goalie. He should keep the Avs in the playoff picture all season. They’ll be a force to be reckoned with if their scoring can keep up.
No better way to start off my weekend than a Sharks Win at the Shark Tank!
Sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're AWESOME!
