Sharks Gameday: Screw Cali, Nashville sounds pretty good to me.

There's nothing like a complete ass whooping to put things back into perspective, is there? Last night's game was one filled with turnovers, botched breakaways, poor puck movement, shoddy goaltending and defensive miscues. Whoops, let me fix that: Last night's game was filled with Sharks turnovers, botched Sharks breakaways, poor puck movement by the Sharks, shoddy goaltending by Nabokov and Sharks defensive miscues. *Shudder* On Friday, Plank and I were asking each-other: What's better? To sweep Anaheim and all but surely knock them out of the playoffs, or lose both games and hope for the Ducks to grab the seventh or eighth seed? We couldn't decide. As Plank brought up in last night's GDT, he asked Mike Chen too. They couldn't come to a consensus, either. Well, the Sharks decided for us... and sweeping Anaheim is out. However, even though I contemplated the benefits of dropping both games before last night's tilt, I don't think I could find any sort of joy in a Sharks loss tomorrow. The Ducks can still grab a playoff spot if San Jose beat them tomorrow... and now I sure as hell don't want to see the Sharks help Anaheim in. I don't want to see the Ducks team I saw pound the Sharks into putty last night. I was legitimately scared watching that game. I would have been O.K. with a loss. A 3-2 loss. A 5-4 OT loss. Hell, even a shootout loss would have felt pretty decent. What I didn't expect was for the Quackers to take the Sharks behind the shed and wail on them with a well loved leather belt. 'Twas a complete and utter beat down. I know Marleau is out. I know the Sharks have a six point lead on Detroit with 4 games to play (Detroit has 1 game in hand, Boston has 112 points and 4 games left) and are getting a little complacent. But they need to sack up, right now. If San Jose loses to Anaheim tomorrow, and ends up facing them in the playoffs, the Ducks will have a confidence that they shouldn't. That's dangerous. So, with that, I give a big-'ol GO SHARKS. I know they're up to the task. However, I'll provide a little mojo anyways... just in case. Prediction: Sharks win 3-2 with goals by Taber's Favorite Son (x2) and Tomas Plihal (on the correct net this time). Getzlaf puts his Joe Thornton impression on the shelf for now.

Kapow! Late night postings f t dubs!
While I agree last night (in reality it’s still “tonight” but whatevs) wasn’t the best of times, I don’t think it’s Chicken Little time just yet. Sharks looked fairly good in the second and the start of the third. The Ducks made some really pretty plays to get about half their goals- Nolan Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf are for reals. Definitely put on a clinic.
Breaking it down with the crew after the game (a nice mesh of Ducks & Sharks fans I must add), what it really came down to was goaltending and the team’s stars- completely cliche, but cliches hold some truth at any rate. Nabokov seemed to be fighting the puck in the first period (a perfect example would be when Perry took a shot in the first or second; Nabby had the post covered but was off balance and fell to the ice after making the save- anybody know what the hell I’m rambling about?). It sort of summed up the night for me.
The HP ice reared it’s ugly head again. Not making excuses, but I truly feel it puts the Sharks at a disadvantage. Worse ice conditions = less opportunities for skilled players to make plays. Anaheim is a solid team no doubt, and I’ve got a Benjamin riding on them knocking somebody out first round, but San Jose is hands down the team with better personnel. The ice levels that playing field. Please fix.
As I mentioned in Saturday’s thread, I expect a win in roughly 15 hours. There’s no chance Anaheim takes two from us this weekend. Just none at all. If that doesn’t happen, I just may start thinking about freaking out.
Stay tuned I guess.
Go Sharks.

The ice sucked. I know both teams had to deal with it, but watching the puck jump all over the place, rolling away when guys were trying to shoot, and seeing skaters fall all over the rink is just frustrating as hell. There is just no excuse for having those kind of ice conditions in a major league arena

The ice looked bad but I will not buy into the idea that it effects the Sharks game to the point where it makes them lose. It effects both teams. One could argue it effects the away team more because they aren’t used to it. The Sharks played poorly, and they lost. That’s how it works. Good ice, poor ice, no ice, pink ice, it’s all about how you play the game.
Crutch, I refuse thee.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com
Exactly.
If anything, bad ice at home should be part of the home ice advantage. They just have to be used to skating on it. The visiting team shouldn’t be able to come into your rink and out skate you because of the ice..
Pink ice you say? Norfolk did that.

I'm not using this as an excuse....
But the San Jose Stealth played the night before (I went – first time). It says clearly in the lacrosse notes that the “field” is placed directly on the ice. I’m not trying to make excuses for the Sharks’ effort (because the bad ice should affect Anaheim as well), but this might account for the quality of the ice.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not using it as an excuse for the loss. They sucked, they got outplayed. And, yes, both teams have to deal with the ice, so in theory it shouldn’t make any difference. But, if you take a long look at a team’s game, it could. What I’m saying is that our (Sharks) game clicks well when we can make sharp breakout passes and Joe can lay it on someone’s tape. When the ice sucks like it did last night I think that can make a difference in your game. Of course, they’ve gotta make the pass in the general freaking area (lack of that last night). Anyway, if the other team doesn’t depend on that for their game then the bad ice won’t affect them as much.
Anyhow…still not making it as an excuse for sucking. Just saying.

Stealth games aren’t new, and poorer ice conditions, if they are what is rumored, aren’t new either. I’m not willing to buy that the ice is that big a factor; it’s minute at best.
It always seems to be a relatively one sided thing. How can bad ice only be effecting one team? Especially when that team is the team that plays on it with greater frequency? I know a bunch of players fell down but that didn’t seem to stop the Ducks from scoring 5 goals. If the Ducks can connect with crappy ice then the Sharks should be able to as well. They didn’t which says the fault lies within their play, not the ice.
Is the ice perfect? No, probably not. But here’s the reason they lost: The Sharks played poorly. I’ve seen them play poorly in half a dozen other cities and I doubt that had anything to do with the ice conditions.
I.just.don’t.buy.it.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com
Let me reiterate
They sucked last night. No contesting that.
I just think that the ice conditions can have a bearing on the game. And the most important point, that has been lost here, is that for a team of this caliber, it’s unconscionable that the arena staff can’t have better ice. No matter who benefits
The winner is the fans, who see a much better game

that ice sure didn't hamper getzlaf,
but i agree with you the ice freaking sucks whenever stuff is going on within close proximity with the sharks, i know they are just trying to schedule as many things as they can to make as much money as they can but seriously the sharks are where it is at not the freaking stealth.
I don't like you Detroit.
I wasn’t saying that was the reason San Jose lost last night, but I think it does have an effect on the Sharks performance as a whole. They’re one of the fastest teams in the league, and skating in muck reduces that advantage and levels the playing field. Like Dave said, the transition game relies on quick breakout passes and moving the puck up the ice quickly- when the puck is bouncing around out there it makes it harder to execute that game plan. The Sharks have a large amount of guys who are very good at making cuts to the middle and crossing into multiple defensive areas of responsibility- when the ice is soft, it’s a lot harder to make those cuts.
Let’s be clear, it wasn’t a defining factor in the loss last night (as in the Sharks would have won with better ice), but the fact is shoddy ice conditions take away a lot of advantages San Jose has in their personnel. Just like any other sport, the worse the conditions on the playing surface, the more likely it is that a team’s advantages are going to be nullified. Snow and wind in football- a high passing team is going to have difficulty throwing the ball. Rain and bad field conditions in baseball- a good defensive team is going to have difficulty making as many plays as they normally would.
I just don’t buy the fact that it’s black and white, and since both teams have to deal with it, that means it’s a wash. I prefer playing on worse ice conditions because I’m not as good of a skater as other guys I play against, I can tell you that.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
and I don’t buy that it is enough of a factor for guys at the pro level that it needs to come up. I mean, I can enter a drawing competition against someone of the same skill and education level. We both get the same surface to work on, and while I’m more familiar with it, it’s a little messed up. I should be able to adjust either way, because my skill, not what I am drawing on, ultimately determines how well I do. Maybe neither of us will do our best work, but if we let the surface change our reaction, it shows an area of weakness and it’s something we’d need to work on.
Plus, it’s utterly ridiculous when teams can still play and preform well on outdoor rinks in rapidly changing conditions to mention ice quality. I’m just so over that argument.
Maybe if these guys weren’t all professional hockey players, I’d buy it. I know I skate worse on fresh ice, but I also don’t skate for a living.
I’m going to be annoyed by this argument for as long as people chose to make it or until I decide to ignore it.

If San Jose loses to Anaheim tomorrow, and ends up facing them in the playoffs, the Ducks will have a confidence that they shouldn’t. That’s dangerous.
Good point. They do seem to have that old swagger back don’t they?
All that being said, tonight is a good enough time as any to “make a stand.” The Honda Center has great vibes for me; a lot of that probably has to do with being in attendance when they clinched the division there last season (ah Brian Boucher, our first live experience together), but it seems like the Sharks play some good hockey there.
Whatevs, it’s too late to be up, and inebriated posts never seem to turn out as coherent as they seem once the morning light breaks through my window like a Scott Stevens body check. See ya’ll round fivers*.
*It’s funny, because at some level I realize that I’m just talking to myself at this point.
Go Sharks x2.
Fear The Fin: Where The Second Round Is Overrated
If you look at the standings tonight
These are matchups that (IMHO) favor the Sharks in Round 1 (My predicted winners would be in CAPS):
SHARKS versus Nashville – We’ve had great luck whupping on these guys in the playoffs.
Wings versus DUCKS – Anaheim is peaking, and the Wings are not. Plus, Detroit would have the pleasure of travel to the Left Coast which they despise.
Calgary versus BLUE JACKETS – Possibly the most interesting of the Round 1 series. No matter who wins, they will have tons o’ bruises from this one. Also, tons o’ travel in this one too.
CHICAGO versus Vancouver – Another series that will be fun to watch, but I just don’t see Vancouver having the legs to take out the Black Hawks. Plus, Chicago has righted the ship in the last 10 days or so…..
If this comes to pass, this would setup a Sharks/Ducks Round 2, very interesting to take them on after grinding one out against the Wings…..

I didn't even think last nights game was that physical, what did you guys think?
I don't like you Detroit.
I personally think
even though the sharks are supposed to be mentally tougher this season, I still think they have serious brain farts when it comes to a few teams taht have traditionally killed us. Namely the Wings, the Ducks, the Avs, and the Stars. Now I know we beat up on a couple of those teams this season, but considering their standings, not nearly as much or as dominantly as you might have assumed. Sharks just seem to tighten up and fail every time those teams come up
dont worry shark fans

Hopefully last night will help light that playoff fire...
One of those games that makes the team wake up and say “oh, maybe we have to show up if we want to win hockey games.” I’m holding out hope (after a good night’s sleep, anyways).
Awwww, crap, Detroit just scored with 52 seconds left in the game. I guess we’ll have to win to hold onto the #1 seed.
Sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're AWESOME!
Yeah, I watched the first half!
Then I had to go do stuff. I love futbol, not as much as hockey though.
I blame the wind for throwing off our game. We like to make long passes to the wings to allow our speedy and talented forwards to open up the game, but the wind was throwing off our passes.
I’m still happy we beat Houston though.

Time to join hands and collectively will this Sharks team to a physical and punishing win tonight. Let’s send a message to the rest of the league that this team is ready for the playoffs. I want hard checks, 3 or 4 gritty “go to the net” goals, and a message sent that the Sharks are for real. Let’s plant the seed of doubt in the Ducks’ heads that IF they face us in the first round, they are screwed. Who is with me?

Yeah, I just saw the replay. That really wasn’t deserving of two minutes in my opinion- they call that a slash? Even the homer Ducks announcers thought it was a bad call.
Bullshit. Now they score. Wow.

the refs should have controlled it by calling some of those penalties!
I have no idea why they didn’t stop play with Selanne down, or after Vlasic took a questionable hit. But that was way uncalled for at the end.

I really believe from that display that they are terrified of the Sharks in the 1st round. They are desperate to get any advantage they can, because they already know they are going to lose. LOVE IT!

The rule is basically that goalies aren’t allowed to leave their creases during line brawls/fights, not just goalies leaving the crease, period. Boucher did violate that rule, but it was completely justified seeing how he wanted to retaliate after Perry stomped/tackled him.

Wow
So, refs? Yeah, you are fucking retarded. You get hated division rivals playing back-to-back games in a playoff atmosphere, and so you decide to swallow your whistles at the end where there could have been at least 10 penalties called in the last thirty seconds, including Vlasic getting whacked multiple times in the face by Perry, and then Perry stomping on Boucher. No shit there’s going to be a line brawl!
Oh, and Perry is a fucking douche. I’m sure you could infer that from the previous paragraph, but I felt that it deserved a paragraph of its own, because of his massive amount of douchiness. He should be suspended. Probably won’t, since Colin Campbell is the definition of incompetent, but he should be.
No analysis tonight, since its all going to be colored by the retarded refs and the dick that is Corey Perry, and I have some homework that’s due tomorrow.
I was surprised we didn't boo him loudly last game...
next time Anaheim comes to town, we need to make sure that Perry gets the Pronger/Selanne treatment.

Perry didn't even fight Bouchier
he ran and hid in the corner after stomping on him
It warmed my heart
That I could hear the boos for Pronger in the background, even though its in Anaheim. And it was pretty funny how the Ducks fans attempted to drown it out with cheers, but only partially succeeded.
But, yeah. Perry is officially on my shit list. Not that he wasn’t before, but he gets moved up the ranks.
Possibly
It just doesn’t make sense on how douchey he is cause he doesn’t need to be. That’s Steve Ott’s job. Corey Perry’s jobs is to score goals. You don’t have to be a douche to do that
I remember

i just think it's funny that refs will call hooking all day and night and,
then something like this happens
I don't like you Detroit.
Just because they won't make the calls that would prevent this.
Seriously, if the league is serious about cutting down on fighting, there’s a simple solution. Don’t make new rules, just have the refs call the ones we already have consistently.

but more penalties
=too many whistles and stoppages in play
better than having a big brawl at the end and people could end up getting hurt

not sure if you agreed or disagreed,
but it’s stupid that they call chincy hooking but not cheapshots
I don't like you Detroit.
Refs have selective eye-sight
They could see when a stick taps a persons body but not when somebody throws an elbow to the head (or whacks someones head with their stick).
I did neither and merely stated a similar opinion.
And I think there’s a pretty simple reason for what you said there. The hooking rule change is new this season, so the officials are really making a point to call it. After the last few seasons of rule changes, it seems like as long as they call the new rules, the league thinks they’re doing a good job, despite the rest of the missed and blown calls.
The zebras are only human and are going to make bad calls or miss things occasionally. The real problem is when they see things and just don’t call it. They need to be consistent in making calls, and really, call the more serious infractions because they’re what get guys hurt.
Zebras are like defensive defensemen. You only notice them when they screw up.

Don't believe the hype!
If you focus on the non-calls or the douchiness of the Ducks, you are doing what they want. Don’t buy into the crap. The Sharks are a better team, and the Duc ks want you to forget that fact. The Sharks will eat them alive come playoff time, and they know it!
Old time hockey, just like Eddie Shore.
Man, I missed this game...
But I saw some replays, and wow. The refs at the end were amazingly awful. You have to see that shit coming and nip it in the butt before it escalates like that, not after the cheapshots have been thrown.
I kinda hope we don’t end up playing Anaheim in the playoffs now, because people are going to die. Literally…and we can’t afford any more injuries…
Sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're AWESOME!
Crap
Somehow it posted by itself mid-typing. Meant to say:
I think we’re all missing something here. For the first time since Phoenix (and that doesn’t really count), the Sharks scored more than 2 goals. Its not much, but it is a start!
This is true, and we have to start somewhere.
I’d like to see this team build up some steam going into the quarterfinals instead of coasting in. Sure the injuries don’t help with that, but if the rest of the team is counting on the guys out now, we’re going to be in trouble in another week.

Recollection of the game...
Ok, as i sit here with 4 pieces of toast, orange sauce from La Vics, and a major regret for the hangover I’m about to have… I can only think of one thing. F* Perry and his attempts at murdering Vlasic and cheap shotting Boucher. I understand that this may never be read, but I felt obligated to sign up for an account after 4 months of avidly reading FTF. What happened tonight (last night) was completly absurd. I predict a first round match-up with the Ducks and I expect something nasty to happen to Perry or else…
GO SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!

not gunna lie...
even though Perry is ALOT bigger than me, I wouldnt mind running into him in a dark alley. Show him what its like to get stomped on by a skate.
The guy is a cheap little pissant. Theres no other way to put it. He reminds me of those pricks in High School who think theyre the shit, and then grow up and continue to work at the local fast food restaurant, going to HS games picking “up dem fine bitches”

Geez
So I’ve been looking around the internet like I normally do post-game, and according to some people who were at the game, Ducks fans were throwing bottles and other stuff onto the ice after the game, aiming for the refs and Sharks. And apparently, a bottle hit Boyle in the head. BOOO.
Wow- stay classy Anaheim.
What a terrible excuse for human beings, the whole lot of em’.

As an A's fan too...
I’ve seen this kind of classy behavior from sports “fans” in Anaheim for years. Its just one of their charming quirks that makes me hate all teams from Anaheim all that much more.

it’s to be expected … even just reading the comments over at BoC, they have no issue with what was done … cause hey, they are the ducks … doesn’t matter if their players were rapists, as long as they play for the ducks, all is fucking good in their eyes. like I said, ducks players (and fans) are bitches
and to think, I almost felt sorry for them when they were going thru their nearly-year-long slump … stupid me

what?
isn’t there, you know, a penalty assessed to the home team for that? Don’t throw stuff on the ice people! Unless it’s a hat trick, and you’re just tossing hats.
Be interested to know if that’s true or not.

unfortunately
from what I can tell, there is pretty much no media recognition of Perry stomping on Boucher
in fact
most of the outcry i can see is people complaining that the refs take it easy on the Sharks and give them an unfair amount of powerplays to help them win
by a10dency2ask on Apr 6, 2009 10:08 AM PDT up reply actions
well, the refs did swallow their whistles at the end there
But I don’t think I’d say the Sharks get preferential treatment after watching them play all season. I’d say the refs made several mistakes at the end of the game which lead to bedlam.
I’m still miffed Perry is getting away with using Boosh as a carpet. 2 minutes isn’t exactly justice.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com
The only real bad no-call on us
was the cross-check that Ehrhoff gave to Selanne in front of the net. But I mean, how many times did Pronger do that to our guys throughout the course of the game without any call?
when Pronger does it, its not a penalty. This is what I have learned after watching him for several seasons.
resident cartoonist @couchtarts.blogspot.com
for the life of me I can’t figure that out. For some obscure reason, there are certain dirty players who have a reputation for being dirty that consistently get away with it, right in front of the refs, game after game after game. It’s like, once you get known for being a dick it’s okay to be one. Like, “Oh, that’s just Pronger, he does that all the time. It’s okay.”
I can’t understand how the officials, or even Campbell, can’t see how it cheapens the game, and puts the NHL in the WWF arena

people do that outside the game too
“oh, that dude’s a jerk”
“yeah, I know, but it’s alright. We all know he’s a jerk so we’ll just let him keep being one. Someone will stop him eventually.”
Someone punished said jerk for being a jerk.
All hell breaks loose to defend the guy, even though he’s a jerk. There’s some justification, honest!

WTC Update concerning the game
In essence, the brawl at the end of the game is being reviewed by the league, although I doubt much comes out of it. And the Sharks were less concerned with Perry’s douchiness towards Vlasic’s face, deeming it a hockey play more than anything else, and more concerned with Perry running Boucher.
On Pavelski’s goal, he said that it hit off of a defenseman’s stick into the goal. The only defenseman around? A certain Captain Elbows. Some things just work out so well.
As for Shelley’s penalty?
"I saw it was him [Parros] and I thought I’ll just go over and address it. I thought I’d tap him so we could dance or do something about it," Shelley said after the game. "It didn’t work out that way. It worked out to be a retaliatory penalty and that is something I don’t like to do."
it looked a lot more like a “tap” than a penalty, that’s for sure

Yeah, even the notorious homer Anaheim announcers were like, “Ehhhh, that’s a shoddy call.”
Whatevs, Ducks got burned on a couple too. What it comes down to is getting the W and getting out of there alive.
