What a wild ride it has been eh? It seems like only yesterday we were gearing up for yet another grueling 82 game season, licking our chops at the prospect of some glorious hockey after four long months of not knowing what to do with ourselves. From Patrick Marleau's first goal to the 76 minute third period penalty parade against Vancouver last night, we've seen our fair share of ups and downs, peaks and valleys.

And the journey is just beginning.

A wise man once said that the playoffs are an event "that will test the very fiber of our existence" (okay that man was me), and this year is no different. The pressure on this team to make a deep run is enormous, and every single shift Wednesday onward is bigger than life itself. It is by far the best time to be alive.

Alas, I am getting ahead of myself. With Fan Appreciation Night at HP Pavilion tonight, another division title in the bag for San Jose, and playoff seedings yet to be determined, I would like to take some time today to thank you for continuing to frequent our humble corner of the world wide web. You really make this an easy job for me to do, and without that vast support, I can assure you TCY, Ivano, and I wouldn't be where we are today. Our passion for the team has grown thanks to you. Our desire to bring you the best Sharks coverage out there has grown thanks to you. And our hunger for fine wine and finer women...well, that hasn't been changed in any way because of you. But you've accepted us all the same.

To show my gratitude for all that you've given us, here's a song I composed late last night. It's in the same vein as the "I Can Make One Phone Call" track that hit store shelves last summer, and while it's probably not as good (seriously, how freaking great was that song), a parody of Bud Light's Real Men of Genius commercials seemed to fit the zany mood of this site quite well.

I'm obviously out of my vocal range on this one-- oh how it burns indeed. Lyrics can be found here.

Thanks again for everything. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to watch this team with during the next three months.

Prediction: Sharks win 3-1. Goals by Heatley (who gets number 40), Marleau (who could use a goal right now), and Demers (on the power play). San Jose keeps their first seed dreams alive and draws upon that passion from Thursday night all the way into mid-summer.

Go FTF readers, and most importantly, Go Sharks.

Playoffs

Hey all,

I know this is my first post, but I have a request. I’ve been an avid reader of the blog for the last 2 years. I love the sharks. I grew up in San Jose, but after college, I made the decision to join the military. I am an officer in the US Army, but I got shipped over here to Korea. Much like the last few years, I believe this is our year. Go Sharks!!! Here’s my question: is anyone planning on DVR or recording the playoff games? Any chance you could post them on a file-sharing site like thepirayebay.org? I would kill to be able to watch the sharks play in the playoffs, but hockey coverage is very limited here on AFN. If anyone has a solution to my problem, please let me know. Go Sharks!!

I feel your pain

There are tons of sites that stream sports, it’s a good time not to have cable. Two of the best that I’ve found:

http://www.myp2p.eu/

This is a great place to start, can find virtually any sport being broadcast in US or Europe

http://www.veetle.com

This site has by far the best quality streams, but selection is limited.

if you have some cash to burn (not much, at this point, the price is way down)

nhl center ice online is actually a pretty killer deal.

i dont have cable, so getting ice hockey on tv is not an option. but i can watch 95% of sharks games live, and 100% of sharks games 48 hours after the game, as every game for the past 3 seasons is available in the archive.

if that fails (which it doesnt…) atdhe.net is pretty reliable.

oh, and thanks for your service sir!

thats the downside,

and i may write a strongly worded letter to the folks in charge, as it is truly aweful watching a game announced by the d bags in pheonix or detroit.

tradeoff though, and id rather ignore the idiots and be able to watch hockey and not hope i can get a grainy jumpy stream on some random site.

At least with Detroit's win last night

we won’t have to worry about playing them anymore. Even if Nashville were to win its final game, Detroit would still hold the tie breaker.

Now we just have to worry about avoiding L.A. and we’ll be all good.

by CalFaithful707 on Apr 10, 2010 10:07 AM PDT reply actions

How does Detroit hold the tie break? They have 3 less wins than Nashville…. Unless the standings on the NHL website are wrong.

Nashville still has more wins than Detroit. So if CHI wins, and DET loses, Nashville gets ahead.

If Nasvhille wins and Detroit loses

both teams will be tied in points which will put them back to where they were before.

Detroit holds the head to head tiebreaker which trumps the wins category I believe. Both teams were tied in points before but Detroit was put ahead of Nashville.

by CalFaithful707 on Apr 10, 2010 10:52 AM PDT up reply actions

Actually nevermind about that.

I think ESPN and NHL.com only had Detroit ahead of Nasvhille because Detroit had a game in hand. I forgot that they put teams that are tied in points ahead if they played less games.

by CalFaithful707 on Apr 10, 2010 10:58 AM PDT up reply actions

Head to head doesn’t trump overall wins. If they tie in pts 1st tie break is wins.

by skilletboy on Apr 10, 2010 11:07 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions

Tie breaker rules are -

The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
The greater number of games won.
The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any “odd” games, shall be used to determine the standing.
The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.

Interesting to note the last time the Sharks won their season finale was ’04 vs LA, which required two last second goals by Stuart to force overtime and a beauty of a snipe by Vinny for the win.

Shit

So if the Kings win tomorrow against Colorado (who are probably going to be resting their guys since they’re locked in the 8th seed), and Nashville wins tonight against the Blues, we’re probably going to play Detroit in the first round lol.

I don’t think Detroit would really mind playing us, and so they might decide to just rest their guys up instead of having to play their asses off to beat Chicago who are fighting for the 1st seed. That will send Detroit down to 7th (they’d tie Nashville for 6th but Nashville has more wins) and set them up for a first round matchup against us.

So if Nashville wins tonight, our fate is in Detroits hands (assuming we win tonight, although i think we will) and we could be in trouble.

by Khaaz on Apr 10, 2010 5:10 PM PDT reply actions

I dunno...

a lot of things have to happen for us to face detroit.

Nashville has to win tonight (the game is currently scoreless after 1)
LA have to at least make it to OT on Sunday
Chicago have to beat Detroit in regulation

and even if those three things do happen, I’m confident the Sharks can take Detroit in a 7-game series, given our recent burst of secondary scoring and our somewhat-cleaned up defense with the return of Vlasic.

Well for the reasons i mentioned above, all of those things are fairly likely to happen imo.

Nashville is a better team than the the blues in general, and the Blues don’t have anything to play for really besides pride. Meanwhile, it’s a huge game for Nashville since it can make the difference between Nashville ending up as the 5th seed or the 7th seed, so they’ll be playing their asses off.

They say they don’t have the rights to the HD feed… They dont even have it via center ice…?! I think Comcast pulled the HD feed fir the game. It is on the NHL network in Hd, but of course that will be blacked out due to local restrictions…. ???

So basically everyone else in the US and Canada gets the game in HD except us I’m San Jose???!?

Anyone have that comcast complaint phone number??? I’m serious I can’t seem to find it…

Honestly

there are bigger problems in the world besides not watching a hockey game in HD…
