(Don't forget, FTF will be having a "Live" Gameday party at Stanley's Sports Bar in San Jose)
This is a big one, folks. (TWSS!)
Game day is going to be relatively short today, but don't think it's because this isn't an important (if not overly hyped) game. I still haven't touched my copy of Mass Effect 2 as I sit down to write this... that alone should let you know the (percieved) magnitude of this one.
No, there hasn't been a more hyped game this season than tonight's tilt against Chicago. That's for a reason, though. Chicago's really the only team (besides Detroit) that has exposed the Sharks 2009-2010 weaknesses: an inconsistent defense and top heavy scoring. And, oh yeah, they're second to only San Jose in points. The media/NHL is doing a great job of pushing this one in the common fan's face. The four day break for San Jose didn't help with the buildup, either. You would think Steve Jobs is dropping iPad 2.0 while surfing on a Zamboni during the second intermission.
That being said, this is just another game in an 82 game schedule. In reality, it shouldn't mean much in the long term, unless you care about ESPN Power Rankings (in which the Blackhawks are 1, and the Sharks are 2) and the like. Although the players are giving it a little bit more than the usual lip service, they speak more to the challenge of facing a good team (which is important)... but they aren't thinking further than tonight. It's not a make or break, if you know what I'm saying.
It will, however, show how much McLellan has prepared for Chicago after being dominated by the team practically the entire season. Can McLellan limit an offense which unloaded 47 shots on his team in late December? Can the Sharks, who struggled through a 7-2 embarrassment the day before Thanksgiving, put together a solid game? Will Nabokov be able to stand on his head, again? We'll find out tonight.
Rosters will change from now until the end of the season. Players will get healthy (like Dan Boyle, who's most likely out tonight), others will get injured, and trades are bound to happen. Perhaps Logan Couture and Jason Demers play well enough tonight and for the rest of the season to stick with the squad for good. No one can say for certain. That's why I can't stand the "If the season ended today" talk. Yes, San Jose and Chicago are 1-2 in the conference. That doesn't mean they'll meet again later. It doesn't mean they won't. There are no guarantees either way.
Look, I'm not saying the regular season doesn't matter. Far, far from it. I wouldn't spend hours of my time watching and writing about meaningless games if it didn't. I'm only masochistic to a point. (I did, however, watch Club Paradise starring Robin Williams and Twiggy, end to end last night. Eugene Levy and Rick Moranis... shirtless. I've never seen nipples trying harder to escape chest hair in my life. Steer clear, folks. Steer clear.) But in the grand old scheme of things, a home game against Chicago in late January isn't going to mean dick. It's a challenge that needs to be faced, but a loss isn't debilitating. And a win won't catapult the Sharks past the second round.
It would feel awesome to stomp the Blackhawks in regulation in a game. It would leave little doubt who the superior team was. It's just not all that important if they do or don't. The games will change once the months that shall not be named roll around.
I'm just enjoying these matches as they come.
Go Sharks.
Prediction: Sharks win 3-1 on a hat trick by Logan Couture, who shakes the bust label and is awarded the Calder in a ceremony after the game.

It would be amazingly awesome if the BUST had a big game.
I guess this mean we’ll have a 4th line of Shelly/Stuabitz-Couture-Mitchell.
I’m glad they’re not rushing Boyle back though. To be honest, I’ll be happy if we aren’t completely out-matched without Boyle. He’s probably the single most irreplaceable member of the team. If Vlasic, Blake, Demers and Murray step it up to the point that they aren’t embarrassed, I will be very pleased.
Looks like TMac agrees with me.
“It’s a big game for both teams,” McLellan said. “But a lot of things can take place between now and the end of the season. It can change so much.”

Go Sharks!
insert obligatory comments about the gravity and meaning of this game, followed by a brief and contradictory waving-off of any such importance
I really hope they can manage without Boyle if they need to; the last two games, they’ve shown they can get by without him in a general sense, but Chicago is an entirely different animal. These are two dynamite teams, and both want to prove something to the other, whether or not it’s “important” in the “long run”. (After all, the players always say they’re only looking ‘at this one game’…)
Go Sharks!
Whether or not they pull one out tonight; here’s to hoping Hossa curses his 3rd team come playoffs.
I'll drink that! oh...I'll drink TO that.
Go SHARKS!
Regardless of it’s an ‘not so important’ game or not I’d like to annihilate them as much as we can…I think they’ve beat us enough this season. Little redemption doesn’t hurt..though I’m really nervous of the outcome of this game.

I’m still in the learning stages of my curse…but from what I can gather…I was at the first game in Chicago, and at the pre-Thanksgiving Day Massacre…both of those turned out poorly. I stayed home and watched the second game in Chicago on TV, and while they got outplayed, at least they won. Now its time to test whether I can watch on TV when they are playing Chicago in San Jose.
I really hope I can watch without cursing the team, because itll be a long and painful WCF were the two teams to actually meet there…

If you really ARE a curse, and you really DO stay home in a potential WCF matchup between the Sharks and the Hawks, I’ll buy you a Cup Final ticket. The least I can do.

you’re called flat more times than you can count, everyone assumes your suffering from an eating disorder, or irrationally hates you and dumps all their body image baggage on you because “you’re thin.” Which I guess is code for “stupid skinny bitch, you can take it.”
Guys don’t even so much as look at you unless you find a way to inflate your breasts 3 cup sizes. And who wants that dude? I mean, bleh. Or they’re like you’re dad’s age, which is really creepy.
You can’t win. Just be happy with what you have, work to stay healthy, and leave it at that. Find a good tailor, understand no one fits their clothes perfectly off the shelf, and for the love of gawd, don’t show any crack. Thank you.

Drew on NHL live...
Said even though the word is Boyle is doubtful, he has a hard time seeing Dan Boyle not playing tonight…

Isn’t this exactly what happened the last time Chicago came to San Jose? Boyle was doubtful for the game, but then decided to play because the game was too important…

wont make Stanley’s. Working late tonight. Thank god for DVR. Anybody else ever watch the game and then read the entire game thread afterward?
If i can’t catch the game by radio/tv/internet live, I simple don’t watch. I just read the recap and get the highlights.

Interesting..
Our Nabby mask story is on the very front page of SB Nation. Not sure how often that happens?
It's a rather nice mask
I personally think Nabby is superstitous and feels jinxed by the black version of his mask.
He even switched it to his regular mask for the third period of a Vancouver road game awhile back.

Go Sharks!
I see 80 comments and thought to myself, “Yeah, makes sense. Chicago’s a big game, people are excited.”
Then I start to read and it’s about fat people, the superficiality of each gender, fake breasts, and what each of us like in the opposite sex.
Feels like I’m on a match.com message board or something haha. You guys are nuts.

You gotta read between the lines
“NO FATTIES” is a code-phrase requesting that Nabby not give up any ‘softies’ tonight. From there, I’ll let your imagination fill in the details.
I like it. Way to swing that one around back to hockey.

I chimed in this morning, went away to do some real, actual work…come back, and it turns out people were hella bored today and spent the day on this thread talking about fat chicks, rich dudes, and titties…

but it’s useless if he can’t hit the net on a breakaway. I’m rootin’ for the kid. I just catch myself facepalm’in a lot while watching him. It’s like a hump he hopefully will get over. I just don’t see him getting over it. Maybe a change of scenery, and he can have a career like Ray Whitney.
