The rebirth of promise. Of hope.
We were a fickle lot, consumed by carnal desires. Our eyelids grew weary with the weight of expectations we placed upon each day, a desolate march through the unrelenting summer sun. We burned and clawed at our skin until it was raw.
We became unknown even to ourselves.
The lack of sport can do terrible things to a man-- its embrace no longer warm, its eyes no longer uplifting, its voice no longer a symphony for the soul. To trudge along like a ghost became commonplace underneath the red August sky. So we weaved wreaths of gold and placed them upon our graves, graves of the men and women we had always hoped to be.
This shovel became our sabre-- this dirt, our destiny. From coast to coast the waiting game played out in a lethargic fashion as the days punched and bled into weeks and the months trickled by as we forgot to sleep. The cool breeze of ice replaced by stifling heat. The sound of goal horns replaced by casual conversation concerning ketchup and other assorted condiments. The nuclear blast of a Douglas Murray check substituted for stubbing your toe on the bedroom dresser as you get dressed in the morning. It was adrenaline, but it was empty.
Forsaken.
And so we dug into this dirt with the ferocity of lions. A quest to become whole again. Oh to become whole again, to taste the sweet nectar that supplies us with a purpose that extends beyond letters and syllables and words and phrases and sentences and paragraphs. The novel of our existence. The soundtrack of our lives.
It is our time.
And now we stand. The mountain peak reached, our blood and sweat mere vestiges of the unforgiving hell of the offseason. Where conversation and discussion is nothing but a substitute for what we were digging for all along. Thunder cracks softly, lightning misses its mark. We are free and pure. We are angels of ecstasy.
Rest now, my burning heart. For we are home. For we are here. For we are finally whole again. Like a phoenix we rise above the dilapidated shanty towns we called existence during the last three months. Our needs met, our thirst quenched, our song of sorrow finally forgotten.
A wise man once said all you need is love.
In that case hockey, all I need is you.
Prediction: Sharks win 4-2. Goals by Heatley, McGinn, Setoguchi, and Boyle. God it's great to be back.
Go Sharks.

I hate to be a downer
But I just don’t feel the shark “magic” that other seasons have blessed(?) us with. I don’t love the men between the pipes. I have Nittymaki outplaying Niemi this season, but unless something happens on the defensive side of the puck I don’t think we will go as far as we would like. Nabby will be missed.
Well, heres to a great season of fantastic hockey and a deep run into the playoffs with a Sharks win over the Pens in game 7! Let’s get new captain Joe a new big ass cup.
So excited. I'm giddy.
I saw the tweet about this Gameday and I went from six to midnight. Let’s do this.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Been waiting for this for a long time
Let go SHARKS

Don't be surpassed if...
…the lines spread the ‘wealth’ by breaking up the jumbo heated patty to three separate lines.
…the Sharks go 1-1 in the two games in Stockholm. The last two SC champs have split their Europe tour.
…Greiss gets the start in one of the two games in Stockholm. It’s not out of the realm for him to get the start Friday…unlikely, yes, but not impossible. In fact I say they will hold out Niemi until next weekend’s home opener vs Atlanta and Greiss and Nitty will split the b2b.
…I actually get some sleep before watching the game on the Vs Network.
…the 49ers actually win a game this weekend by beating the Eagles. Why? Because after the game against Columbus on Saturday, Patrick Marleau hops on a plane arriving in SF just in time for the SF/PHI game and QBs the 49ers to victory!! Hey… If Crosby can hit a home run then Marleau can definitely play QB for the 49ers :)
They are carrying 3 solely because they are in Europe. Greiss will likely be sent down.

I mean don’t be surprised.. ugh stupid fingers…I’d blame the ipad, but I want it to work, and I know better to talk mean to an electronic device such as a computer, phone or ipad, etc. they may soon be running the world, best to get on their good side.
Oh and just for the fun of it: my prediction for today’s game:
Sharks 5
Blue Jackets 2
I’m already happy because Turco lost! A little tricker off the pad into the net. I yelled at the TV image of Marty yelling “haha” Turco. Unfortunately Pronger’s Flyers won yesterday, but oh well.
Welcome back everybody!
The summer has flown by and another season has crept up to our doorsteps. Let the bantering begin!
God I missed these posts
Plank, your gamedays are what get me out of bed in the morning. On non-gamedays, it’s my alarm clock. I’m feeling good about the Sharkies starting tonight: Giants won last night, Hawks lost, and my family is coming into town this afternoon. It’s like an onslaught of good Bay Area juju.
I hope my boss doesn’t mind my productivity taking a hit today. Wait, I work for the State, so I already do nothing (only joking, don’t want some crazy whistleblower to see this).
The Offseason is dead…long live Hockey!
I had a lot of writing to take care of, so when I saw that it was 4 a.m. ...
I elected to just stay up, because I don’t trust my alarm clock to get me up in time and I’m not missing this game.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
FINALLY!!!!
It was a loooong summer without our boys in teal. So excited for today’s game and for another season of Sharks hockey!
GO SHARKS!!!!!

LOL—my thoughts exactly. So melodramatic it was good!
Anyways, here’s to the new season! I’m ready—no classes to teach today, my cold/flu is subsiding, and the sun is out and the temperatures back out of the 40s and into the 70s here in Ohio. Screw “hockey weather”!
Nice! Somehow a Sharks hockey day – even in Ohio – & even against the Jackets – was meant to be :)

I’m not going to get ANYTHING done this morning. I like that prediction, except I think Heater scores 2. Mason knows what Heatley can do to him, and it ain’t pretty. Just sayin’.
Go Sharks!

Last season Heater had a hat trick in his first game against Columbus.
Here’s to history repeating itself!
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Watched the Wild/Canes game? Yep. Watched the Leafs/Habs game? Yep. Watched the Pens/Flyers game? Oh yes. Watched the Battle of Alberta? Hell yeah.
Missing the Sharks game, which just happens to be taking place in a European time zone, because the missus arranged a dinner party at ours tonight? Afraid so….
Honestly, what kind of a catastrophic scheduling f*** up is this?! Enjoy the game guys and gals, I’ll be watching it on demand tomorrow morning.
Oh yeah, and I’ve gotta go and see my mother tomorrow evening, so I’ll miss the second game as well. For f***’s sake…
And you think you live in a non-traditional hockey market...
I caught the Oilers game between innings of the Giants game, and then the 3rd period following the Giants game.
The Oilers were actually fun to watch! Those kids…
Granted, Calgary really might suck this year—we truly might be able to poach a defenseman from them if they continue down this path—but the Oil will be the up-and-down ride of the year, I’m guessing.
Oh man, the Oilers really got off to a great start. Their rookies were just playing with no fear, which is always fun to watch. If anyone hasn’t seen Eberle’s fantastic goal they should take a look here.
And you think you live in a non-traditional hockey market...
That Eberly pickup
in second or third to last round of the FtF Fantasy draft is starting to look like a great idea. That goal was sick, even better that it was a shorty.

We feel you man.. I am stuck at work today and stuck playing in a soccer game tomorrow. Nothing worse than being able to watch Blackhawks – Avs last night (hate both teams!), and being unable to watch the Sharks live..
Stupid Europe trip. I knew there would be at least one reason I’d hate it.

On a slightly unrelated, but slightly pertinent note, the NHL desperately needs to release an app in the vein of the MLB At Bat app, the latter being the best sports app I’ve ever used. You can watch play-by-plays, listen to the radio feed from either team for free, watch video replays, and even watch live games on your iPhone/BB/Android/iPad if you subscribe to MLB.tv. The NHL would greatly benefit from a similar offering, particularly with regard to keeping the casual fan engaged.
..:Fear The Fin:..
I saw last night that the Penguins have an IPhone app for in house viewing that allows their fans to see multiple replays during the game.
I realize the demand is higher with Pitt, but yes. I agree. This is the silicon valley you’d think we’d have something similar.
by skilletboy on Oct 8, 2010 10:28 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I’d be willing to challenge the notion that demand is higher with Pittsburgh fans. It’s Silicon Valley, for the love of god.
..:Fear The Fin:..
There are definetly more iPhones here. I’m referring to the demand for more overall hockey media. The Penguins are way more popular in Pitt than the Sharks in the BA…
And yes we’re in the silicon valley. But then why can’t we get a decent WiFi at the tank?
by skilletboy on Oct 8, 2010 11:27 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
With NHL having an agreement with Verizon, not likely to see one anytime soon. I’d settle just for being able to catch the audio, especially when I’m traveling; hard to do without Dan and Jamie and haven’t found KFOX on any of my iPhone radio apps.
For keeping track of scores, the Hockey Night in Canada app seems to be pretty decent.

I have NHL Gamecenter live and I do not have Versus in my cable package. Because gamecenter live can’t play Versus games, I’m obviously trying to watch the game online. SO does anyone know where online is a good place to watch. Thank God I have pretty fast internet so streaming is a good option, for me at least…

Giants are in the playoffs once a generation, unlike the Sharks who seem to make it every year. An event to savor as long as possible.

Welcome to Fear the Fin...where we eat our own.
My Twitter
I have been counting hours for about two weeks. I may not quite be sure what to do with myself once it stops.
Except for that I’ll be watching Sharks hockey, so it won’t matter.
Count hours between games. Or start early for the playoffs or something.
Nic Wallin: as good as Nic Lidstrom... he just doesn't know it yet
I think my next counting will be for the home opener. And then it’ll get silly and it’ll be minutes between awkward Marleau moments or something.
I ended up wearing my Sharks shirt today by total coincidence coincidence. I had totally forgotten about the game in my half asleep state…. I was sort of ashamed.
No worries, going to class early so I can catch the game. Hooray for 20" TV and regular def VS.!

eh...
I used to get giddy for EVERY game… then we lost in the first round to the ugly ducklins and realized I’m not getting jacked up for every game until the Sharks make the SCF.
Ah, no… It’s that Raiders fan Guy Fieri on the aflac commercial. I liked him as was like he’s pretty cool, then found out he liked the Raiders and talked trash about the 49ers. Well, at least he’s not Ducks fan!
At least we'll see the best pro sport on a regular basis for a while.
I agree,its a long way till April. However the trip begins today.And technically it wont be morning when I crack open my first beer!

Parents...
My parents want me to help them clean the house this weekend. I told my mom that I’d help, but cleaning won’t get done til Sunday because the Sharks play today and tomorrow at Noon and then my Florida Gators play at 4:30, so Sunday before 5:30 is the only time to clean.
:)
Oh, hockey season is starting today. That's nice.
In more important news, the Earthquakes ARE FINALLY HEADED TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

So yeah, i’m still in futbol mode. But I’ll probably watch the game.

what time does the game start in Sweden? It says it’s 8:54pm right now in Stockholm, but the Ericsson Globe site says the game starts at 20.00 which is 8pm. So does that mean it’s an hour tape delay?!!
noon PDT, which is GMT -7.

that’s what I thought. They must have not known exactly what time they drop the puck. 8-9pm, really makes no difference I’m sure to anyone in Sweden. I knew it was noon in California. The only thing that sucks is I’m in Ducks territory.
New to the FIN SB nation but long time
but long time NINER NATION fan. I am rocking the Sharks hard this season here at work over at South Bay CRC off 90 Great Oaks Blvd suite 202. If you have your Cannabis Card come on by and watch the game! We got a nice TV and cool atmosphere. GO SHARKS!!!!

Pretty much. But before last season they were well within their right to call the Sharks playoff chokers.
Unless the bear is in a zoo…
“chokers” I think now clearly labels the Devils. They’ve done more “choking” than the Sharks have in recent history IMO.

Niemi to start.
The merc said the lines will be:
Marleau – Couture – Heatley
McGinn – Thornton – Setoguchi
Pavelski – Mitchell – Clowe
Wait, what’s the fourth line going to be? I know it will Wingels or Gogol with Nichol right? but who else? I know the above may not be the right positions, but I’m going on what the merc said and in the order they listed… though I’d suspect Pavs to be centering the third line.
pretty sure
pavs will be centering 3rd line
