Brian Boucher would have had a shutout last night. What a goaltender.

Oh Dany Heatley, you ol' devil you. A hat trick last night that comprised of an even strength goal, a shorthanded goal, and a power play goal. Has this ever happened in Sharks history? I can't recall any, and if it has, I'm sure you could count all of the times on one hand.

Too bad Heatley could have had four if he would have buried one of the three opportunities he had during that shift midway through the first period. Call it cynicism ladies and gentlemen, but I'm just stating the facts. Where's that "soft San Jose media" label now?

In other news during this brutally boring gameday lacking of insightful commentary, it turns out that fan who got into a fight over Scott Niedermayer's stick on Thursday night is professional skateboarder Mike Valleley. Not sure if anyone here was a big CKY fan back in the days before Bam's TV show and Jackass, but I was, and the first thing that came to mind was this clip of him going to town on four guys in a parking lot (video and music NSFW).

Damn shame Brandon DiCamillo didn't ride in on a fake horse and finish the job with a well-placed joust.

*****

I'll be meeting with Sleek, Spade, Evilducks, and a few others at Danny K's around five o'clock before the game tonight if anyone is interested in joining us-- email me at [fearthefin@gmail.com] to exchange numbers. I also know that the people taking the bus trip to Anaheim will be meeting at JT Schmid's before the game. Both venues are nice, although Schmid's can get a tad bit pricey if you're tight on cash.

Apologies for two lackadaisical gamedays in a row. Working on a big piece for next week that should hopefully drop sometime before Turkey Day (pretty sure that's a proper noun).

Prediction: Sharks win 4-2. Goals by Clowe, McGinn, Heatley, and Boyle.

Go Sharks.

GO SHARKS!!

And Plankdude, check out the stats it has listed for the Ducks above – 15-5-4, 32 pts, 1st in West … I think that might be wrong. :)

We’ll see you tonight. :)

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality? (boycott Hollywood!)

Heh, I’ll have you know — I never vote in the SBN power rankings spreadsheet, but I did go in this week to put a “16” next to Anaheim for western conference rankings. Didn’t even fill out anything else.

So I’ll second that “16th in the west”. :)

Go Sharks!

I just saw this news from the Yahoo sports thingy:

C Torrey Mitchell (tendinitis left knee) is on a conditioning assignment with Worcester of the AHL and is awaiting promotion, which has to occur no later than Nov. 24 according to rules that limit players to two weeks’ time in the minors or risk getting exposed to waivers.

!!! Did we already know this, or did I just not put the two pieces together?

I think we knew all of this except for the punishment for failing to activate/promote him.

I totally misread the Mike Valleley comment

“to town” and “down” look very similar…

Go Sharks!

Good luck to those of you going to the game tonight. We’ll hold down the fort for you.

Last night

does anyone have video from the murray smash from late in the 3rd…i missed it when powe got “powwed” also, the ice must have been terrible last night either that or the flyers play like the italian soccer team. Hartnell and pronger probably fell a combined 10 times.

It's not in the game highlights

and it didnt get replayed on the Sharks broadcast.

I rewound my dvr and watched the hit a few times. It was a little late, but if Powe was hurt he only has himself to blame. He turned his back to the play and got Crankshafted. Turning away from the hit is what got him all twisted up.

Reply fail to K. Although, this statement could just stand on its own.

A former Shark almost had a hat trick last night as well.

Let me guess: two went in, but fourteen shots hit the post or went wide.

some folks at the game told me the coaches had him playing forward to try and get him the hatty. Unreal.

And yes, I made the require Ehrhoffian shot jokes.

I had a weird dream

involving several FTFers and Mnemosyne (yes, Mina, that Mnemosyne.) last night. Plank, you’ll be happy to know you had a plethora of job offers when you returned from college.

How many of them were crawling along the floor?

by princessminako on Nov 21, 2009 12:28 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

oddly enough

none of them. I remember remarking about that in the dream. I think I was rather disappointed.

It think it might be problematic that that’s the only real memory I have of him.

It was a fairly epic moment. I wouldn’t be too worried.

You know, I kinda wanted to head down to Anaheim for this game...

But my friends, who were all jazzed about going down for it a week ago, all talked to their girlfriends, and all bailed (again…this same shit happened for Chicago, but I went anyways in that case). Anyways, I’ll be watching on the tube. Hope everyone down in the OC has an awesome time tonight!

I’m not in Anaheim either… was originally going to see two games in 1 day (Flames @ Kings, starting in 30 minutes, being the other game), but chica duty calls!

Fair enough.

I’m just gonna make up for it by heading to the Tank on Wednesday before leaving for LA for Thanksgiving. Seems like that should work just fine. I"ll just head down to Anaheim in March. Or maybe I’ll head out to Calgary and Edmondton in March…hmmmmm….

If you go to Alberta in March

I’m officially jealous of you… I’m heading to Calgary in April, but the Sharks don’t play the Oilers. I might still steal away to Edmonton because they play the day before and after the Sharks game, but it won’t be the same…

It would be epic, I’m not going to lie. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a travelling companion…maybe if I get in early enough the girlfriends won’t get in the way this time!
