"The demons weaving amongst the rafters above. The cold, unforgiving sheet of ice below. The Red Army lining up eye to eye, wooden bayonets poised at the ready. Many have fallen here, torn limb from limb under piercing lights, casually thrown aside like the masses before them. And if history repeats itself? If history has provided a compass to navigate this treacherous terrain tonight?
Then history has damned our very souls."
At some point in the season, there comes a time when a team is faced with an opportunity to make a statement.
Tonight is one of those nights.
The Sharks have yet to register a win against the Red Wings this season, a team that has struggled with injuries for the majority of the year and currently sits two points out of a playoff spot. They're definitely a potential opponent in two months times, and a dangerous one at that; with the success San Jose has had at Joe Louis Arena over the years there's very little here that would make a seven game series appealing on any sort of level.
Discluding a sadistic obsession with pain and suffering of course.
I'm no psychologist, but I have a theory that a small pocket of Sharks fans actually enjoy the losses more than the wins on some primal level. If heartbreak is your escape than I'm sure you'll be tuning in tonight eagerly pinching your nipples and biting your lip in anticipation of what, if the past eighteen years are any indicator, should be a prime opportunity to find some sweet sweet solace.
Assholes.
At any rate, I would go as far to say that Detroit is the second most dangerous team amongst the Western Conference pool of contenders, with Chicago obviously taking the crown in that regard. Niklas Lidstrom may have a receding hairline but is still the best shutdown defenseman in the league today, Pavel Datsyuk makes your deity of choice green with envy, and Henrik Zetterberg is always available to pick your pocket like Winona Ryder on a Tuesday afternoon at the mall.
They're a damn good team on paper, and with Johan Franzen making his return from a knee injury this week, they just got even better.
So I guess, if I were to sum this up, I would say this-- with the history at Joe Louis, current playoff picture, middling record against playoff teams, and performance against the Wings this season, tonight is the biggest game the Sharks have played in 2009-2010, the closest thing a team not fighting for a playoff spot can consider a must-win.
Grab your jockstrap. It's time to make a statement.
Prediction: Sharks win 3-2 in overtime. Goals by Marleau, Pavelski, and Clowe. The sky doesn't fall, angry Fanposts without proper punctuation are put on hold until April, and some guy in south San Jose continues to massage his nipple, all the while wondering what could have been.
Go Sharks.

The only problem I see
Is that this is the 2nd game in 24 hours, game five of a six game road trip through miserable traveling conditions with the weather and all. This will be a tough game for the boys. I wish them well but I’m not holding my breath….
At least Nabby's fresh...
But boy oh boy if we don’t win this one… sigh. I don’t even know anymore.

Shitshow! Funny. “Discluding”, and nipple pinching all in one post. A good start to my day. Last nights game was the first I have walked away from in years mid period. The third period’s effort was simply busy work. They looked good but 20 minutes of effort won’t fly against any good team!
I hope it was a case of cruising while looking ahead for the Feds.
When I think about posting, I ban myself.
I actually see this as one of the only things going for the Sharks in this one… They play better on the 2nd night of b-2-b’s… They play simpler and quicker.
I really want a definative win at the Joe though… not this 3-2 OT crap…

Go Sharks!
I’ll be genuinely missing this one, at the office until ~6 when it comes time to head to a business meeting, but I’ll be tuning in to whatever I can to keep an eye on it.
Obviously, this leaves me little chance to eat a themed food, but maybe the company’s provision of BBQ meat and beer will suffice.
Either way, I hope we get ’em good. Nabby, give ’em hell.
We need Demers back, how does everyone think Helminen played?
I thought we looked flat until the 3rd.
Helminen is cheaper than McGinn, and we needed a callup to take Malhotra’s spot. I guess…

not by much, people still count the kids bonus structure when we call them up for some reason… There is absolutely no way any of them hit those bonuses this year.

Its possible McGinn hit the frequent flyer miles cap for the year and now they’re letting someone else bank some miles….
McGinn is going to take a sweet vacation this summer after we’re done playing in June. Hell, he could take the entire team on a sweet vacation on his miles!

We have yet to win against the refs this season. We have come close, but have always been thwarted. This is our last chance to beat them, to say, “Hey, remember 1994? Well that’s how it’s going to go again.” Nabby needs to be Like Wall tonight, and someone (preferably Patrick Marleau or Joe Pavelski) needs to take on the role of Jamie Baker.
Oh, did I type refs? I meant to say Red Wings. Not that there’s really any difference.
And the Detroit feed has been picked up every single time this season. I swear, if I have to hear those pricks proclaim that Datsyuk shits perfect dekes one more time, I’m going to have to hurt someone.
Just to warn you guys, I’m a little angry this morning because I’m in that horrible state of being sick, but not sick enough to skip classes.

I hear ya there… Wish there was an option to see Randy and Drew on Gamecenter. I am so sick of hearing the other teams announcers try to pave the ice with gold at how amazing those pricks are.
I’ll be at a trade show till 4 then need to pack it all up and sit in LA traffic all night. Hopefully I’ll be back for the 3rd…
Go Sharks!

Agreed. When I had Center Ice to catch the Sharks (and other) games that weren’t on CSN Bay Area/Bay Area Plus+ (that plus shit sucked), the Detroit announcers were one of the worst and most biased that I listened to.

Ugh, the Redwings announcers have to be near the top as far as irritating guys to listen to. I put them slightly below Hayward (of Ducks fame) and probably about on par with those douche bags that call Capitals games. I hate the Canadiens and after listening to the Caps announcers I hoped the Habs would win almost as much as I want us to win tonight.
Oh, Fuck Detroit.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
After the last 4 years I’ve matured to the point where regular season games don’t mean shit. There have been times when we definitely made the statement, times when the statement got pasted on our foreheads and times when the referees whipped out their steel “statement” and gave it to us all night long. In the end, these regular season games mean little more than the accumulation of points resulting in playoff seeding.
The playoffs are an entirely different animal. The game is different, players are different, the atmosphere is different. Making a statement tonight against Detroit would deny them of 2 points in a tight playoff race. Making a statement tonight would not quell my concerns about our defense, our lack of focus, our sloppy turnovers and our streaky offensive domination. But I’d be dammed if it didn’t make me reel really, really good.
Fuck Detroit, their fans and the referees they’ve paid for.
Go Sharks!
We just traded who for who?!
Statements
Funny how statement games work…Chicago beats SJ and goes on to lose their next 3 in a row…I would rather see less need for really high Highs and less of the low Lows that seem to typify SJ (see last night’s game for a low).
When I think about posting, I ban myself.
Kind of like when we beat Boston last year
Then shit the bed on the rest of the games on that road trip.
"iaT"S FUCKINGE LIEK CONICO DO MAYO!!!!!111"
Mr. K. 5/5/2009
It’s been the curse of beating SJ this year. All those big losses we’ve suffered this year (Chicago, Detroit, LA), the team who’s beat us has gone on to shit the bed immediately after playing us for a little bit. It’s actually been pretty brilliant. Although it also goes to show you how “up” for games with the Sharks teams tend to get…they’re bound to suffer a letdown after facing such an elite team and beating them.

Blasphemer
The good news then is that if someone beats the sharks in the playoffs they will roll over in the next round?

Aha, but if we lose big in game 1 of a series, I’d think the curse would immediately take effect, and they’d roll over for the rest of the series!

Let's Go Sharks
Need to step up their game and win.
No more raining on BN's rainy parade, they took their ball and went home, lmao.
Is it bad that I almost hope Detroit wins tonight so they can get 2 points and start their march into the 5th or 6th seed so we don’t have to face them in the first round of the playoffs? Every time I think the Wings are about to start a run, some crappy team (see: Ducks, Anaheim) destroy them, and I’m left wondering wtf!
Or maybe we should beat them so senselessly that they lose their will to fight on and miss the playoffs completely. Yeah, I like that one better.
GO SHARKS!

I would maintain
That there is a very small subset of circumstances within which it is acceptable to root for the Red Wings:
1. They are not playing the Sharks
2. They are playing the Ducks
3. They are fighting crime
4. They are playing someone we need to lose
5. Their winning might get you laid
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
#1: Yeah, I’m hoping for soul crushing, spirit stealing destruction tonight by the Sharks. Seems like the best way to play this.
Even #2 is questionable. Now, while I preferred last season for the Wings to win that series, I was really just rooting for a huge natural disaster to wipe out whatever arena they were playing in that night. Sigh.
If #5 comes into account, I’m clearly trying to sleep with the wrong girl (not that it would stop me, but at least I’d realize it…)

While all of this is true
I have to agree to some extent with ZeroIndulgence…
Obviously rooting for them tonight is not a viable solution, but this team will make the playoffs, of that I have no doubt.
At their current pace though they’re going to finish in 7th or 8th and could end up being our first round opponent… while I’m fine with the concept of beating the best to win it all, I’d rather not do it in the first fucking round, which means Detroit needs to start winning some games so we can beat up Nashville or something.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Truth...
Having Detroit play Chicago in the first round would be ideal. At least it would guarantee we wouldn’t have to face one of them.

The more appropriate question is, do we have anyone who isn’t a sarcastic poster with a scathing wit?
Which isn’t to say that more wouldn’t be welcome, of course; after all, even the most egocentric of us needs new ears to listen in on how great we are as fans and, more importantly, as people of the internets.
I’m a sarcastic poster, but I wouldn’t qualify my wit as scathing… probably more along the lines of uncomfortable

You’re obnoxious, but not insulting (not including Ray Fatto), which i think everybody is basically okay with.
I still don’t know if I can accept Hayward being in your icon though… seriously, I hate that guy, no matter how cool the art on his mask was.

I hate Hayward
I just want the Shark mask to be a stpale orf the franchise, and no one has the balls to emulate it. Even Curtis Sanford’s Canuck mask ( voted in by the fans) is awesome.
There is no fucking reason why a Sharks goalie does not have something almost identical to that.

It is important to win tonight because
If we do face Detroit in the playoffs (early round) we need to know that we can beat them because we’ve done it before. Not sure I want to just hope we don’t face them?
We’ll probably need to beat Hockeytown and Chitown to get to the finals.
Me thinks we need one more defenceman and perhaps another scorer.
Also, we’ll be missing Malhotra and Pickles tonight, so that pretty much sucks.
When was the last time Jumbo Joe dropped the gloves and laid someone out? I’d love to see that!
GO SHARKS!!!

yeah, I agree
That in the big picture it doesn’t mean too much, i.e., they’ll have to do it all over again in the playoffs and prove to 1 and done that they have what it takes to win it all. I guess it’s pretty obvious that I’m gripping already.
welllll
I does mean a lot. Beat a team that owns you. In their den. beat a team that sees the finals regularly. break some very nasty habits…ie floating passes to own blueline even if you lead the world in assists. End a losing streak at 1.
lots of reasons to make this important and not blow it off
When I think about posting, I ban myself.
We'll be ready
It would be nice to smoke Detroit on their ice.
Especially since we wouldn’t meet again until the playoffs.
I left for maybe 5 minutes to walk back to my room from class, and the comments explode. Before that? Maybe 10 comments per hour. Geez you guys, great timing.

I did. I never jumped in on gameday threads for football, because I’m usually off with friends doing the whole Sunday thing. I don’t swear a whole lot, but sometimes it accurately accentuates my point. And sometimes I’ll say something that I don’t believe to be a swear, and still get decorumed.
Not to say I don’t post over there. And the weekly prediction games are fun (hell, I won the FFA for the playoffs), but I’m just not as attached to it as I am to FTF.

I also watch everything he watches, so as to weed out everything. For the record, he’s not allowed to watch any Sesame Street that’s not 15 years his elder, either; you wanna talk about killing your childhood, flip that on sometime and cry.
If you ever want to get songs stuck in your head, find Higgly Town Heroes. Having to sit through retakes for that show was crazy.

American Experience. Which I thought was just going to be a socially-focused exploration of American history, but it turned into a conspiracy theorist, “Everything you’ve every learned about history was wrong and your history teachers suck!” class. Too bad that my teachers already taught me everything you’re trying to present to us as, “the truth you’ve never learned about before.”

Reminds me of a sociology class I took
It was about immigration in the US. I tried to pay attention at first, but after the first test I realized I could write that class off.
example test question:
Which of the following is a true statement:
a) The US has treated immigrants equitably.
b) The US treats both citizens and immigrants equaly.
c) The US exploits immigrants that travel to this country for cheap labor and forces them to live in lower income housing, making it take decades or even centuries for them to become on par with current residents.
d) The US follows it’s idealistic statements of the founding fathers.
I’m only barely exaggerating

Thoughts on Wallin?
I didn’t see the entire game last night, but I caught the 3rd period. I had a hard time picking him out of the rest of the lineup because my stream was poor, but I saw him jumping in the play offensively a few times.
What do you guys think about him so far?
by BringBackNolan on Feb 11, 2010 12:48 PM PST reply actions
Small sample size
He’s been largely unnoticed. That’s a good and bad thing. Good in that he’s not making mistakes. Bad in that he hasn’t made an IMPACT. Slow and steady may win the race though. Tonight, against an elite team (I’m considering Detroit elite even though their record doesn’t reflect it due to injuries) we’ll get the best indication of what he’s worth.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
Not bad
I liked a lot of what he does. reminds me of Murray. Made some strong, solid plays. I may be wrong but I think he was with Boyle once when Dan jumped into the offensive zone and Wallin looked a little surprised, was a little late to recover, but made a good adjustment. It was a good read and not just a play he gave up on like some of the younger guys tend to do.
When I think about posting, I ban myself.
For all of the comments slammin a guy like Kaberle, teams like Chicago and Detroit have exposed the Sharks inability to keep up with the puck when it really gets moving. Wallin is big and able to get in the lanes…but someone with great anticipation and/or skating ability to close on the puck may be a bit more useful than the Wallin types. I do like him though.
When I think about posting, I ban myself.
Look at the game thread
I fucking hate him worse than Huskins. The only thing that’s saving my sanity is the fact the Brad Lukowich is the worst San Jose pickup of all time. If it weren’t for him, I’d be going nuts over the terrible-ness of Wallin.
I never thought I’d say this, but for Plank, TCY, and any other mod: THE SHUTTLE IS WHAT WILL SAVE US.
We don’t need trades. We need these kids we’ve brought up countless times throughout the year.
We could bring in a half-assed 20 goal scorer on offense or defense via trade, OR………..
We bring back ths kids who know the system, have some legs, and have some sense of urgency.
I don’t care who loves or hates who. McGinn, Demers ( who I hate, but is a step up from what we have), Joslin ( kid can skaaaaayyyaaayte), Ferriero, Prince Logan ( Shelley’s in the NHL. Couture is not. That’s brilliant.) , Dirty Joe Callahan, and whoever thios new guy is who looks like a mini-Staubitz. They’re all good together, and would be better than any trade DW could make at this point.
Bring up the kids that can skate, right now. They have something to prove, and they have too much skill to be left marinating somewhere in Massatooshits.

I'm not a Huskins fan, for one reason.
He’s average. That being said, it’s actually a good thing. He stands up odd man rushes, is solid defensively, and it takes a brilliant play to beat him. He skates juuuuust good enough to be able to stop any star player on a break. His stick skills are juuuuuuuust solid enough to break up passes.
Offensively, he’s a dork. he has no clue what to do once the puck crosses into their zone. IMO, he’s a defensive specialist. When we’re down by one, don’t put him on the ice. He won’t keep the puck in the zone on clearing attempts, because he’s covering for the other defenseman who’s pinching.
But for me, cynicism and all, Huskins is probably the best defenseman to have for a ’we’re out of stars and need some defense’ type of system.

We'd all like him a lot better if his cap hit was $1M I think
And he makes a decent first pass. He’s just a touch on the small side and can get bodied out. Teams love to run him because he’s sure to crack. He’s gotten better, but he’s at the point where he’s probably already played his best hockey. The cap makes him a worse player than he actually is.

At least Huskins earns his paycheck. He’s been sadly associated with Lukowich, which brings his value down solely because of the words ‘brad Lukowich". It’s like being Jessica Alba, then marrrying Mike Rathje,

That's just it.
We got him to fill in, be beefy. We’re not asking Wallin to be a scoring threat, but we are asking that he plugs a leak defensively. And from what I’ve sen, he’s a Swedish cro-magnon with hands of stone.
He’s worse than Lukowich, and that’s where he stands, in my book. The Sharks worked their balls off for that trade, and with that kind of work, at least give us back a Craig Rivet.
Why has nobody heard of Wallin before this trade? Because he sucks balls. Duh.
Sure, he’s on the Sharks and we should accept him as one of our own.. But seriously? Are you that blind to the track record, and what we’ve seen to stoke that fire?

Our backup goaltender only surrendered 2 goals last night
I have a hard time believing that Wallin made any really horrible mistakes last night, or in his previous game against Toronto (another 2 goal game).
Wallin is supposed to be a more reliable version of Kent Huskins, who I have to imagine Doug Wilson is trying to ship out along with some other contract, in which case, he’s exactly what we’d want in a 6th D-man. Size, and some stay at home capability. And we gave up no roster players to get him. I don’t see how he’s that bad.
Luko started his season with us pretty decently. It was post surgery his game tanked. And, if you’re going to pick up Dan Boyle, you need something to keep Boyle happy. In that particular case, it was a teammate and D-partner he was comfortable with. I have no issues with Lukowich ever being a part of this team.

I was going to agree

I'd have to go back and check stories
But I’m pretty sure this is fact. At the time he was traded, the whole situation was pretty contentious. Boyle wanted to stay in Tampa, and he was really run out of town. I think he may have had a NTC, and having Luko, who was his D-partner in Tampa if I recall (at least, when he was playing at even strength) shipped out with him, had to be part of the deal.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
Yeah...
I always thought that argument was weak at best. He was brought in because Wilson needed to replace McLaren who was done.

It's also not Wallin's fault
That our forwards can’t figure out how to pass the puck tape to tape and keep turning it over to the other team, leading to sustained zone time for them.
They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
That's the other thing I hate about playing Detroit
Watching a team that proves passing pucks accurately is possible for players not named Joe Thornton. Sometimes I try and excuse the rest of the Sharks for not being able to pass because that’s Joe’s gig.
Last year I watched Lidstrom Slapshot pass the puck, through the air, from the circle to the tape of a breaking Zetterberg at the opposing blue line, who skated on a breakaway and scored… it made me cry because I knew nobody on our team could even dream of doing that.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
While I’m still reserving judgement on Wallin, I actually agree with the overall sentiment that we really didn’t have to make a trade this year. Cohesiveness and chemistry are really important for hockey teams. I thought in the last few years, the moves that were made, while fine at face value, didn’t work because the new players were never really a part of our system, didn’t really have time to fit into the system, and we’re pretty out of place.
The Sharks have an amazing roster as it is. They have the scoring potential, they were doing just fine on defense. Wallin wasn’t really an upgrade on anything. Maybe they would be better just standing pat and seeing if the people they already have could bring us a Cup, rather than feeling forced to always make a deadline move.
That being said, I’d think a defensive d-man would actually be easier to fit into they system than anything else. We’ll see what happens.

"I thought Helminen moving up gave that third line some speed," McLellan said after the 3-0 loss. "It’s nice to see him with his legs and his energy take somebody else’s job. It makes it competitive."
Somebody else’s job?
During the final 10 minutes of the game, Helminen skated several shifts with Scott Nichol and Torrey Mitchell while Jed Ortmeyer didn’t play much if at all. Neither, per usual in these circumstances, did Jody Shelley or Brad Staubitz.
Guess we’ll find out when they drop the puck — though if I do have anything earlier to pass along, I will.
FTF Trade target's Hejda's take on playing us last night:
"I don’t want to say something stupid, but in the second period I was thinking, ‘Why are they playing like this?’ They weren’t as dangerous as they usually are," Hejda said. "Maybe it’s because they are going to the Olympics and didn’t want to get hurt. This is not normal, they are different."

One of the highlights
last night was Shelley cruising in after the puck…when he is your most active player you know the team has taken a night off. Other than Shelley, the biggest hit of the night was Seto after the whistle.
When I think about posting, I ban myself.
I kinda tuned out after the first period…spent most of the rest of the game talking on the phone to people with the game on mute. Figured I’d just jump back in if the Sharks showed a spark and made things interesting. It really was a lackluster performance.

I grew up in San Jose, and played hockey at Eastridge before the Sharks were a reality.
My folks being from illinois, I had to hear about the ‘hawks all the time. As soon as the Sharks were in town, we were fixtures at the Cow palace. Kelly Kisio and DW’s kids used to play at my club in Belmont, and DW was the nicest guy in the world. He used to consistently commend me for figure skating before my hockey practice.
I’m probably the world’s biggest Sharks fan, and I’ll debate it with everyone here. I know we all have diehard allegiance, and it’ll just end up a pissing contest.
When I moved to AZ, it was because of my dad, his job, and his multiple open heart surgeries. With the plight of the ‘Yotes, and their lack of fans, i took a certain responsibility as someone who loves hockey to adopt the ’Yotes. I teach hockey and figure skating down here, and Coyotes hockey is better than no hockey at all. I’ve skated with Ricci and a few others to help their rehabbing, but only because I had my gear around after teaching early morning figure skating lessons.
Truth be told, I miss San Jose. My whole life is there, and I left it to live in the middle of depressing BFE, Arizona. My dad is okay now, so I want to save up just so I can move back home to San jose.
The Yotes players are some good guys ( besides Mueller. Skated with him, he’s a douchebag, and my out of shape ass schooled him). I wish them the best, and hope they do well.
But if it comes down to SJ/PHX in the playoffs, you know I’ll be wearing teal to Jobing.com.

I've only been appointed for a little over a week now.
But Odin knows I’m one of the few people down here in PHX that know my shit as it pertains to playing hockey.
We’re not 100% sure, but I think odin actually took my beginner adult hockey class a few years ago. Therefore, I “may” have taught him how to play.

I'm sure plenty of you saw this already, but...
The February 21st game between Canada and the U.S. will not be shown on NBC, but instead is being shuttled over to the cable station MSNBC in favor of ice dancing. Seriously.
Who gets the blame for this? Women, of course.
Sigh. Hockey gets no love.
"I want people to be afraid of how much they love me." ~Michael Scott
Well, the bit about how it won’t be interrupted by other events is justifiable – I wouldn’t want to have the US-Canada game interrupted by a record-setting bobsled or luge run., which would happen on the main NBC channel as they explained.
That said, the women thing is somewhat unfortunate. The post by “Ishkur” in this link has a rant on how NBC’s Olympic coverage is slanted to keep older women happy.

I watched part of one ice dancing routine once. It was the most excrutiating 20 seconds of television I’ve ever witnessed. And I used to be a competitive dancer back in my wee years (not on ice, but same difference). I just couldn’t stand it. How that can get better ratings than two of the most popular international hockey teams at the olympics this year is beyond me…
