Actually had chills watching that
Awesome work. I think of all the alter egos we have on the Sharks (Angry Joe, Cocky Nabby) I think Pumped Patty is my favorite. When he’s showing emotion, it’s serious.
Gotta love “Wah-Wah Ryane Clowe” followed by the Amazing Setoguchi at 0:48. Great stuff.

Until playoffs. Then everything matters.
Last year, for example, every SoCal game I attended we won, every one I missed we lost.
I was at game 3, couldn’t get to game 4. I was a wreck (and quickly bought tickets to game 6 after we took 5)… I still blame myself a lot for game 4… game 6 is all on the Sharks, I was there until the end.
I’m insane when it comes to playoffs.

Is there a final word on what determines whether the game’s blacked out on CSN-CA or not? We have DirecTV, but don’t have a package that includes Versus. Will it still be blacked out on CSN-CA, since Versus is technically available to us?
..:Fear The Fin:..
It’s the other way around in the first around, at least for Nor Cal market.
They run the game on CSN and black out Versus.
In the past they also switch to West coast games if you’re on the West coast, even if East coast is still in progress.

Well as of midnight last night
none of the CSN (reg, CA, +) channels had the game listed in the guide. Work determines that I record it and there’s nothing to record. Frustrating…
Just checked
I just checked the listing for CSN-CA on Comcast. They now have the game listed at 7:30 PM as well as pregame at 7.
Oh good

So since the Sharks game will be “Joined in Progress” and the Yotes game starts at 7 PM, does that mean we have to wait until the end of the Yotes game?! If so, are we only getting maybe the last period tonight in LA?
Thats what is looks like. You can probably find an online feed for the first two periods, and just hope the Yotes game doesn’t go into OT…

Not sure if you have any spare funds lying around, but this might be a good time to purchase a Gamecenter package. No clue how much it costs though, and it would probably only be useful for the first round.

And behind you are the ghosts of springs past
They matter not
For on this day, on this sacred patch of ice
You begin the great adventure
There will be those that will stand between you and your goal
Slaughter them all
Take no quarter
None will be given
Fear no failure
For victory is sweet
Pain will be your companion
Despair your shadow
Heed them not
For glory is your objective
And it lies before you
Not behind
You are not one
You are one nation
One goal
One will
One dream
You march not alone

They're not getting this kind of coverage at "Hockey Night In Canada" folks! - Randy Hahn
by ElvisVF101 on Apr 14, 2010 10:34 AM PDT reply actions 3 recs
Solid. At the risk of repeating myself, here are some more inspirational words for tonight:
The Stanley Cup Playoffs aren’t a sporting event. They are a lifestyle. Jobs, even in this tumultuous economic environment, will be sacrificed. Playoffs over paychecks. Classes will be missed, significant others put on the backburner, social lives reduced to rubble in our perpetual hermitude.
It’s a socio and psychological war. A hotbed of malice and malnutrition. A war which will be fought coast to coast amongst the masses, with countless casualties littering the landscape. A tide of emotion that harbors no qualms in capsizing even the swiftest and stoutest of vessels.
We must be strong and steadfast. We mustn’t waver. We must pledge our allegiance not to the stars, nor to the spoils, nor to the sweet nectar of glory. To do so would be ill advised, a mockery of the sweat and blood the warriors, our warriors, have shed since April 27th of 2000.
We will live and die game by game. Hit by hit. Goal by goal, shift by shift. We will live and die, not as a group of individuals, but as one iron-clad entity; an entity that will see great things, tragic things, moments that deserve much more than a synthesization of rational thoughts.
These moments will define us.
So take a minute and let all the snapshots of past playoff travesty encompass your entire being. Allow the poison to run rampant throughout your veins, the hollow memories of hope and faith to tumble from the sky one final time. Realize that in five and a half hours, all of this means absolutely nothing.
The eve of war is upon us.
The guns are steadied, muskets drawn.
From this moment onward, it is not the second round that is overrated— it’s the motherfucking past that is.
God save us all.

Definitely shave today.
Last year I used the week head start method and look how that turned out. I shaved last night (I shower at night) and from today forward I will retire my razor.
Last year
I shaved on gameday. This year I shaved at the end of the regular season (Sunday night)

Does anyone have any experience with water color as a playoff beard?
I feel that I gotta put something on my 21 month old. He’s really into the Sharks. Every morning, he hands me the remote control and says “Sharks? Sharks?” We went to visit my parents on Easter, and when he saw the game on he went into a mini-panic trying to find his hockey stick and puck, which we left at home. My dad ended up improvising with cardboard and some old wall molding, and the kid was very happy.

Because I see more people picking the Avs as I read everything and anything, just thought I'd throw this out there...
A team has only been upset 2 straight years three times since 2000.
None of those upsets were of the 8 seed over 1 seed variety. Only the Capitals (2 &3 seeds 2000-2001), Flyers (4&2 seeds 2001-2002), and Predators (4 seed 2006-2007) have been upset in 2 straight.
Of three teams since 2000 to be upset as the 1 seed, two (St. Louis and Detroit) made it to the Conference finals the next year.

Here’s the funny part… not once does he mention the fact that the 1 seed in the west is 6-3 since 2000. Instead, he goes with the Sharks record, which everyone knows is poor to begin with. And when people say “since the lockout” that’s only 4 years of data. Pretty terrible sample size.
That isn’t a statistical analysis by any means.

I'm so pumped for tonight, but first a story:
I was watching the NHL network Western Conference Playoff preview show and of course they brought up the Sharks playoff pasts. They showed an image saying that incorrectly stated the team’s positioning going into the playoffs. It said we had been first like three or four times already, and that in 05-06/06-07 we were the 1 seed, even though we were the 5 seed. Has our “choking” made such an effect that the people at a network RUN BY THE LEAGUE can’t even get the facts straight? To say that this had me a little peeved would be an understatement.

EH
The latest WTC is up and I don’t like one of answer Joe gave when asked if it was true that the Sharks will only go as far as he carries them. He said:
“"I don’t necessarily believe in that so much," he said. "Everybody knows that the most important position is goaltending and Nabby’s a big part of this team. Todd has said in the past that t’s not one guy that’s going to carry the load, it’s going to be the team.”
Sounds like he’s trying to pass the pressure, or possible future-blame onto Nabby, and then he almost contradicts himself by finally giving the canned response he should’ve given from the beginning that ‘this a team effort’ blah blah.
such passion
such fire
really this is patty time, pavs time, heater and nabby time. If they show the sharks will roll
Hansel: "Who are you tryin' to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco? "
The only reason i’ve kept my sanity after reading these comments are because we got so many studs on the team these days, even without Joe we should be able to go all the way.
If other guys step up and play like how we all know they can, we should be unstoppable even without Joe. Super Seto we need you!
I don’t like the comment either, I think he should have fronted more of the blame. However, I think this was Joe trying to say that they need the whole team to win, and not just him. The man operates differently from the rest of the world, see his shirtless interviews as an example.

Ugh, all of his comments on here aren’t making me feel very warm and fuzzy. He sounds like he’s completely satisfied with how they played in last years playoffs.
When asked if they need to ‘bring it’ sooner in the playoff series than they did last season Joe said:
"As far as lighting the fire under your ass a little bit earlier . . . I thought we didn’t play too bad. We outshot them in games 1 and 2 but it just didn’t go in the back of the net for some reason."
He might as well have said “No, we should just play like we did in last years playoffs.” I mean wtf, just say “YEAH WE NEED TO BRING THAT SHIT HARD RIGHT AWAY”.
God i’m getting depressed just reading this. I’m gonna pretend like this interview never happened and get pumped for playoff hockey again.

1. He’s actually right; everybody in the locker room has to contribute, starting with him and his linemates.
2. We don’t have Mark Messier, we have Joe Thornton. Go hang with Flames fans on the sidelines if you want to pin all your hopes on a warrior leader who will get pissed and try to win a series single-handedly.
3. Lidstrom and Datsyuk and Zetterberg just play well, they don’t have to answer questions about whether they need to put the team on their back.
4. Quotes to the press aren’t scored in the game of ice hockey. Sorry.
Go Sharks.
Like it or not
This IS Joe Thornton. It’s part of who he is as a player. He is, generally, the calm, cool, collected, relaxed part of the team.
It’s us as fans and the media that want him to be Messier, Howe, Chuck Norris and Barney Stinson all rolled into one.
It can frustrate us, but it also brings us to the forefront of the contender category each year, something we couldn’t say before he got here.

I don’t expect him to shoulder all the Shark’s playoff hopes or anything. The whole ’It’s a team effort’ stuff IS the correct answer. I just hate his first knee-jerk reaction was to put the blame on someone else, then he came to his senses and gave the right answer he should’ve given right away.
It’s like they asked him, ‘Joe do you need to carry this team on your back for playoff success?’ and he said, ‘UhHhHh, no! Nabby does! That his job not mine!’ ‘I mean…uhh…it’s a team effort ya know?’
I’m sure Iginla would have said he’d carry his team on his back and get the job done. That dude’s won like 7 Stanely Cups or something. It’s not like he’s lost in the first round every time since losing in the SC finals that one time. You remember that time, when the goalie on his team carried the entire team on his back? Yeah, Iginla is the kind of leader that doesn’t let his team fail in the playoffs.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
safe to assume this is a sarcastic poke at any joe observations?
Iginla is pretty beloved because he is willing to shoulder the burden of being the team’s best player. Too bad for him he doesn’t have a supporting cast like the Sharks have. He looked great at the Olympics when surrounded by the Canadian studs and like shite back in that mess of team.
Hansel: "Who are you tryin' to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco? "
Sharks fans will always resent the Iginla comparisons
Patty and Joe are frequently compared to Jarome, and the comparisons are never made favorably.
I personally do feel Iginla would thrive if he ever had a real team behind him, and he’s been made the face of a franchise in ways few other players ever have been.
It’s easy to forget that Iginla is not all that big for a “power forward.” And for the past 5-6 years, he’s pretty much been the only legit scorer on some truly awful Flames teams. Everyone knows the book on shutting Calgary down starts and ends with keeping Iginla off the score sheet.
And the guy would basically score anyway.
He might not have the cups, and he has just as many as Joe and Patty, but it’ll forever be a great what if to ask if Joe and Jarome or Joe and Patty had switched places, what would the fate of each franchise be?
Great hypothetical, lousy basis of comparison though.

I just like Iginla period. Not relative to the Sharks or possible moves. I feel bad for that kind of player in a crappy situation. Cal and Phi looked to be really well positioned to dominate this year. Phi can suck it, but I was concerned how that preseason Cal team would impact the Sharks run this year.
Hansel: "Who are you tryin' to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco? "
Eh, I find it hard to bag on him for that. The Sharks did get pretty Hiller’d in games 1 and 2. They didn’t play super well, but an average or even above average goaltending performance by Hiller, and its 1-1, or even 2-0 us heading back to Anaheim. Whole different series. And he shouldn’t have to single handedly carry this team, and its good that he doesn’t feel like he needs to. I don’t want him playing with some super level of stress and the weight of the entirity of Sharks Nation on him. He’s shown some edge in the last few games, and that’s enough for me.

exactly.
as long as the top line is tying up the top colorado d-men, more room for the sharks depth to decimate the colorado lack of depth. thats the big difference this year, Joe can say it s all about the team and depend on that saying to actually work.

Blackhawk fan here.
Wishing the best of luck to the Sharks. I used to live in the Bay Area and Fresno, now living in Chicago. The Sharks were my favorite team and I always wanted to see them do well. A couple years of being a ticket holder for the Hawks has moved me to the red and black side. Would love to see the Sharks go all the way, just as long as they don’t beat the Hawks when they do it. What a matchup it would be. Beat the Av’s!

Greetings from MHH
Just a diehard Avs fan saying hello. To be completely honest, I’d have to say I think you guys will take the series. However, I also think it’ll be much closer than you expect (think 6-7 games).
Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.
Predictions, paper analysis and conventional wisdom all say short series
But this is the playoffs. All bets are off. Strap in.
Welcome, and due respect, but I hope your team gets crushed!

"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Avs forward group has me concerned, especially if Mueller returns for game and Duchene isn’t too banged up. If this becomes a shootout of a series where we are seeing 5-4 scores I think the Avs could definitely push it to 5+ games. At that point, bounces play a huge role.

no worries mate, we have Blake. Just ask Mueller.
Hansel: "Who are you tryin' to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco? "
Don't forget Stewart
That kid was money for me in Fantasy. A lot of the scouting report on the Avs forwards has been focused on the injured Duchene and Mueller, but they still have healthy guys named Stastny, Stewart, and some old mutherfucker named Hejduk.
Just saying, these guys should be on the Sharks radar. But then again, I don’t mind any of them having an appointment with Captain Shoulders either.

oh okay
Muchos is pretty good too. Much less heralded, but has been around for a long time (I wanna say at least 15 years) Unfortunately, I think they also tried cashing in on their own version of the orange sauce which is not quite the same. But yeah, I used to frequent both places when I used to work downtown and if it came down to eating pure burrito, no salsa, no sauce, I’d have to give Muchos the edge.

Hmm
The eyebrows are certainly Marleauesque. He just needs an awkward smile, and to be nervous, and he’ll really pull it off.

I'm check ing out MHH's series preview, and I can say that they are seriously underestimating our secondary scoring
Over the past month or so, most have our scoring has come from lines 2-4. Not to mention our second line would be a first line on most teams. Pavelski I think is about as good as Stastny, especially if you give him Stastny’s minutes. Nichol is a fucking beast. Those who deny that have no souls (think Red Wings and Ducks fans).
They also say Nabby isn’t clutch, despite them also saying his career playoff save percentage is .915, which is higher than his regular season percentage.
Also, don’t forget, we can break up the first line and roll with 3 #1 lines, When Mclellan did that to end our 6 game skid, I felt the Sharks were playing their best hockey of the season.

Pittsburgh in 5

"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
I've been hoping for the Kings, Sharks, Preds, and Coyotes too.
Mainly so the fanbases with the loudest “sharks are chokers” fans, would get to see their own teams choke right in front of their eyes, it would be fuckin hilarious.

Sorry again for not doing Playoff Pick Em this year guys— just too much of a hassle last year, and I have a feeling I’d have to track 100+ submissions this year. Not gonna happen.
We have a lil BoC battle going on that I’ll publish tomorrow though. Should be good times.
Anyways, here’s my picks, and a picture from gmail with a time stamp.
Sharks in five
Hawks in six
Nucks in seven
Wings in six
Caps in five
Flyers in seven
Sabres in five
Pens in six

Detroit is definitely up there – everything a Wings player does is brilliant, everything the other team’s player does is stupid. The Ducks crew is bad, especially with Hayward. Washington annoys the hell out of me. Oh, and Chicago’s crew pisses me off as well.
