Ever since Sunday, this week has felt like a month. Something tells me Friday and Saturday are going to feel like a year.
Not much can be said about today. It's literally the moment that the city of San Jose has looked forward to all season- from the fanbase, to the coaching staff, to the players themselves. Below is some of the work we have done over the past week, as well as a couple other previews we liked (namely because they picked San Jose to win).
- FTF- San Jose vs. Anaheim: A First Round First Look
- FTF- Sharks Playoffs History: A Statistical Retrospective
- FTF- The Long and Winding Road
- FTF- Fireside Chats: Randy Hahn
- FTF- Twenty Four Hours
- Puck Daddy- Series Preview
- OTF- Series Preview
- Sjsharks.com/NHL.com Series Preview
It's the NHL Playoffs. If you need to read one more post about how these two teams match up in order to get electrified, go ahead and jump into your bathtub with a toaster.
Doesn't get any bigger than this folks.
Go Sharks.

GO SHARKS!
It takes a big man to cry and it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. -Jamie Baker
this is it Sharks
now I want to see the Sharks team that bashed the Bruins and not the ones the got crushed by the Coyotes

Hey Guys...
today is already dragging along…. ugh.
I will be in the thread tonight, but since I’m doing the wrap up, you’ll probably see less of me than usual.
I cannot wait for this game… cannot wait.

I don't like you Detroit.

Ditto
Black third jersey, from the old(ish) days. Curtis Brown. That’s right…I think I own the only one.
Good for you picking up a Curtis Brown Jersey. He was one of my favourite Sharks last season.
Here are the reasons:
Face offs (better than Mike Grier)
Speed (Better than Mike Grier)
Goal Scoring (Better than Mike Grier)
I wish he was a current Shark.
Got my 2002 jersey on, no name or anything.
Can’t freaking wait for the puck to drop.

Go Sharks!
Unfortunately, I am going to be out of town until Sunday night.
Good news is, I’m going to be in LA/Anaheim, so I’ll still be able to watch the game tonight (oh, and my dad – who’s driving – is dead set on not missing any second of Sharks playoff hockey, so that’s another plus).
Bad news is, I have to listen to Brian Hayward. Ugh.

I really am sorry that you have to go through that so much. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Except for maybe my sophomore English teacher.
Well, I suppose the good news is that I’m so neck-deep in Hayward homerism that I can largely ignore it — the whining goes right past me now.
It took a while and a lot of hard (liquor) training, but I think I can say that I’m successfully numb to the guy now. It’s an improvement.

shows Sharks on CSN-BA at 7:30; Vs. shows Calgary/Chicago at 6:30, with Ducks/Sharks joined in progress at 8pm. (First game at 4pm is C-bus/Detroit which should be an interesting matchup; are the Jackets and their young goalie for real or is it a case of their reach exceeding their grasp?)

Nervousness
You know how you guys said you had it for a while a few days ago? Yeah I thought I wouldn’t get it. When I woke up first thing on my mind was PLAYOFFS! now I just have to wait 8 more hours.
I'm lucky enough to be back in the Bay Area
for games 1 and 2. Even though I’d rather watch the Sharks than listen, I’m digging that I get two games with Randy and Drew.
By the way,

I'm a stalker...
I work in north SJ but took time to drive by the Shark Tank, there was a really large square banner laying in front of the tank, couldn’t read it, perhaps they’ll hoist it as I think it’s wrong to stomp on players faces. I got all giddy driving by. Here’s to the Sharks dominating; otherwise you may hear Sasquatch like screaming coming from the redwoods in Felton, CA.
I'll drink that! oh...I'll drink TO that.
They usually have some sort of sidewalk artwork
or logos — the Stanley Cup Playoff logo and the “This is Sharks Playoff Territory” signs; could be they were covered up to be revealed as part of the pre-game festivities (I think there was going to be a rally on Autumn Street as per usual practice; thought about going down there but I’m trying to get rid of a cold that lasted a couple of weeks).

Yeah
I think it’s their third CCS Football title. First one since 1990 or 80 something.
As for soccer it is still dominant. They won CCS. My bio teacher is the varsity soccer coach so my class gets the inside scoop. He tells us that they sometimes have to hold back to not embarrass the other team. He said he never lets the score go to double digits and tries to only win by 7 at most.
but
they didn’t get selected for a bowl because of a certain blemish on the record. your welcome. serra 31-23.

Padres Ring The Bells
Bellarmine’s football team was undefeated, ranked number three in the state by CalHi Sports and number one in Northern California by all polls going into Friday night’s game at San Jose City College against the Padres. The Bells are undefeated no more as the Padres headed home up US 101 with a 31-23 hard fought victory and a three way tie for first place in the WCAL. It was the second straight year the Padres have played the Bells when they were undefeated and the second straight year they knocked them out of those ranks.

As most of you know I go to school at UCSB. Central California, split 50-50 with kids from Norcal and Socal.
Today it was insanity. Pure insanity. At least 40 kids apiece from both fanbases wearing jerseys (yours truly included). Talking shit at lunch. Talking shit on the bikepath. Talking shit in lecture. It’s a goddamn circus out here.

Junior year, can’t wait to get out. Not because I dislike it (I love it actually), but because Sharks season tickets will most likely be my graduation present.
On an semi-related non-Sharks note, I think it’s ridiculous parents get their kids graduation gifts after helping to pay for their education. I’ll take it now, but if I don’t pay my dad back by the time I’m thirty I don’t know how I’ll be able to live with myself.

We'll get season tickets
for the 2011-12 season; my husband retires in June of 2011 so we’ll actually be able to get to weeknight games (and we’ll sell the tickets we can’t use to offset the cost). With his schedule, we’re pretty much limited to Fri/Saturday nights or Sunday afternoons, unless we’re lucky and the Sharks are home during a vacation week (like beginning of March).
Birds have been banned in the city.
I like that!

Here is the order I was thinking…peas, carrots, string beans, broccoli, and then hit them with the big guns/corn.

I can see
lots of movement tonight, especially if something is not working. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Patty on the 3rd line some. By the same token, don’t be surprised if Big Joe does some double shifting too. Of course, all that depends on how the game is going.

From WTC, and why I love McLellan
For what it’s worth, head coaches rarely come out and watch the other team’s morning skate. That task falls to the rest of the staff. But as I type, McLellan is standing aobut 10 feet to my right, in the opening where his team will skate out in about 7.5 hours, arms folded across his chest, and watching the Ducks.
So awesome.
Fear the Fin: Approved by ESPN and Logan Couture
That sounds like an epic fucking picture. One man, arms folded, back straight as an arrow, with the entire opposing team’s roster out on the rink in a circle around Carlyle in the distance. Shadows playing off McLellan, his back is shrouded in darkness but you can make out his figure.
Chills.

Chicago wins about 15 seconds into OT, right after the announcer said, watch out for Martin Havlat, he’s the only guy to have scored an OT winner on either team…
Here's how I'd put a hit on the Ducks
Dress up Hiller as Nabby, then slash Perry right next to Hiller. Hiller=dead
Then jump Pronger when he’s alone (me and my associates that is) couple of elbows to the head and Neck. ha ha irony . Before hit on Pronger, make it look like Selanne is a Sharks again then release a statement that claims Selanne just called Pronger’s wife "sloppy seconds. Next team practice, Selanne is carted off on a stretcher.
And somewhere Earl Sleek turns into a masochist.
