Just when you thought the Sharks were half past dead, they come along and play a game that shows you why they are the best team in the NHL.

With a win over Edmonton last night, the Sharks showed me that they still have the all important “fire down below”. Sure, you could argue that some of the fights were unnecessary, but I like seeing that the Sharks can flip the kill switch if they need to. For example: In the second period, it seemed as if Joe Pavelski was marked for death... I can't even remember how many cheap shots he took. However, the Oilers quickly found out that no one is above the (unwritten) laws of hockey. Unlike in recent games, the Sharks actually fought back against a team that was trying to push them around. Lemieux and Semenov, acting almost as if they were mercenaries for justice, took it upon themselves to defend their team mate. Although Lemieux lost his first fight as a Shark, I think we all caught a glimpse of why he was such a feared player in his career. He had a look on his face that said "Theo Peckham, today, you die." Creepy. I don’t know if you need to have both Shelley and Lemieux on the same team, but he’s a nice guy to have around while Shelley is out. Nice, but still creepy.

This quote from Lemieux pretty much sums up what the FTF readers have been saying for weeks:

“There wasn’t much emotion in our game at all and we needed something going. You got the group motivated to be a little more physical and that’s what we needed. . . . It’s not about fighting. It’s about being physical, it’s about being intense. And it’s got to start somewhere." - Claude Lemieux via David Pollak, SJ Mercury News

It's unrealistic to believe that the Sharks can be that physical every game. The penalties against would turn into goals sooner rather than later. However, they need to show that "hard to kill" attitude on a more frequent basis if they want to continue to dominate play.

The game wasn't all physical, though. Biggest plus of the game? Marleau showing that he's a dangerous man no matter who he’s on the ice with. As mcmylife pointed out in the game wrap, Marleau had more goals coming into the game than his line mates (Grier and Cheechoo) had combined. No matter, the man can still score. I wouldn’t mind if that line was rolled out a few more times over the current home stand. It’s good to test these things out, just in case. That shorthanded goal was amazing.

With that being said, it's time to look ahead. The Los Angeles Kings will enter the belly of the beast, as they skate on deadly ground tonight at HP Pavilion. The Sharks have fared well against the Kings this year, boasting a 3-0 record over their Pacific Division rivals. However, this is a different Kings team than witnessed earlier in the season. Although a playoff spot was almost always out of reach for the Kings of old (think 2001 on), this new, hard working LA squad is chomping at the bit. They're coming into San Jose after beating Anaheim last night, and they're hungry for their first playoff appearance in five seasons. How hungry you ask? You need a lengthy, diluted metaphor? Alright.

You roll out of bed at 4:40, and walk into the kitchen for breakfast. You're brimming with childish anticipation as pull down your box of pebbles (fruity or cocoa, it's up to you), and pour a bowl only to find that the sugary stuff at the bottom is all that's left of your delicious box of wholesome, rainbow colored goodness. Although that's usually an added bonus to your morning bowl, cereal dust without cereal to go with it is useless. It mocks you.

Turns out that your live in girlfriend ate the last of the pebbles and put the box back empty. You'll deal with that later. You search around the kitchen and find only a box of stale Kashi "Good Friends" cereal (quite possibly the worst food ever forged by mankind) that your parents "gave you" a year ago. Was it a year ago? Could have been longer. Whatever. You look up and see your reflection in the microwave. Due to the exhaustion, you swear that you hear your reflection say: "Don't do it Matt, it's not worth it". You pour a bowl anyways. You eat it. You were that hungry.

The Kings would eat that disgusting Kashi with a smile and ask for seconds. They're only three points out of the 8th spot in the West, and every win matters. This won't be easy.

Who will be in net for the Sharks against this surprising LA team? Even after Nabokov’s 24 save performance last night, the keeper has been submerged in a slump for about three weeks. Although seemingly invincible before, Nabby’s play has been under siege by the FTF readers lately as his shoddy play has been brought into the sun. The sentiment to start playing Boucher over Nabokov has gained some steam around these parts, but barring any significant executive decisions, Nabby is "the guy"for the time being. Regardless of who starts tonight, I still think that Nabby should be our number one goalie. He’s struggled, no doubt about it, but when he’s on his game he’s near unstoppable. That being said, I do think that Boucher should be getting some more starts, one of which should come tonight.

According to WTC, some of the Sharks are recovering from the exit wounds they’ve incurred. McLellan has said that there’s a good possibility that Lukowich, Roenick, and Shelley could all make it back before the current home stand is over. Although the defense has played well through the injuries, having Lukowich back out there with Boyle will be good for my ticker.

If the flow/tone/style of the pre-game seemed a little different today, here’s three reasons why that might be:

Plank has a midterm, so I took a stab at it. (Good luck man)
I got a little carried away with the metaphor in the middle.
The titles of 22 movies staring the same actor are included in the text of the pre-game. The person to both identify the actor (an awkwardly sexy picture of said actor is a necessary part of any answer) and the most movies, wins. Have at it folks.

Predictions: Sharks win 5-2. Goals by Michalek (x2), Seto, Marleau, and Boyle. Anze Kopitar gets pistol whipped (sans pistol) by Doug Murray.

Go Sharks.

And good luck Plank. The metaphor in the middle is still fantastic even if it’s a little long. The Kings worry me. They’re the kind of team the Sharks tend to pull their Jekyll and Hyde routine against. And not the good one that’s fun to watch. The embarrassing one that leaves you feeling empty and disgusted when it’s over.

I’ll be at the game, so I won’t be around here today. If anyone else is there you can find me in 210 row 10. I know who the actor is but since I don’t have time here to list all the movies and find the pictures I’ll leave it for someone else.

GO SHARKS!

Nice GDT

Only little mistake I caught was that the Sharks have played the Kings three times, and won all three times (besides the back-to-back, there was also the game in December back when the Sharks could actually win in a shootout).

Oh, and I predict a low-scoring affair. This season, the score has been 3-1, 1-0, and 3-2 (SO). They played pretty hard last night against Anaheim (seeing Quick get checked by Scott Niedermayer was definitely not something that you see every day), but for some reason they always seem to give us trouble.

I watched the last two Kings games, both very exciting

Kopitar has certainly been on fire and Quick is more than capable of making those OMG saves that force opposing fans at home to throw their uneaten bowl of Kashi at the 50" Samsung, spraying those little whole grain nuggets across the room like Styrofoam peanuts from a packing box.

Yep! He fancies himself as quite the blues man.

I read an article in a guitar magazine a couple of years ago about how he spent his youth in Juke joints listening to gatemouth brown and a slew of other blues artists.

Because you know, he wants to be seen as a credible blues artist!

According to Sharks official website:

Defenseman Brad Lukowich participated in the morning skate, but Coach Todd McLellan said he won’t be in tonight’s lineup. Lukowich, who’s been on Injured Reserve since Jan. 9 with a sports hernia injury, didn’t comment to reporters after the skate.

On the other hand, center Jeremy Roenick, who’s been out since Dec. 13 with a shoulder problem, is hopeful for a return on Saturday vs. Atlanta.

"If all goes well and I get a good day in today and tomorrow, we’ll shoot for Saturday," Roenick said. "I’ll keep my fingers crossed."

Wow

When I stopped watching at the end of the second period, it was tied 2-2. Lots and lots of scoring in the past ten minutes, I’m guessing.

Also surprising? The Lightning/Devils game is actually close. True, the Lightning cannot get out of their own zone, but the Devils cannot get any sustained offense going (kind of contradictory, but if you watch the game you’ll understand). Hence the 2-1 Lightning lead.

I'm here

Dinner was early tonight (i.e. more than 5 minutes before the game), so I wasn’t able to get on in fear of my teenage brothers and dog eating everything (believe me, they will).

I liked the jump early on, and late, but the middle was sort of eh. Too much passing, too few guys crashing the net. The key to this game is to get the Kings tired – playing the Ducks last night should have worn them out, and just putting bodies on the players should wear them down for the third period where Marleau scores 20752 goals.

Habs update from Mirtle

UPDATE French radio reports out of Quebec indicate that police are waiting for the Canadiens to arrive back in Montreal at the airport. More information is expected to be available by 2 a.m.

UPDATE Now it seems there’s been much ado about nothing. Apparently the Kostitsyn brothers have some sort of a connection to previous arrests that were made recently.

I’ll post if the full story manages to come out tonight, but it appears quite a few people have been making a mountain out of a molehill with this one.

Updated update

UPDATE RDS.ca has more on this now, essentially reporting that the Kostitsyns are linked with “a suspected member of organized crime” named Mangiola Pasquale who was arrested for drug trafficking. The police have several conversations recorded between Pasquale and the Kostitsyns and he’s described as their “great friend.”

His elbow never left his side. It’s not his fault Patrick Marleau leaned into the hit. It’s exactly the same as the Phaneuf hit on Ebbett.

Guess he sees things differently.
