And so it begins.
There has been a fair amount of rumbling around Fear The Fin about how important tonight is, and I couldn't agree more. San Jose just flat out can't spot Detroit a 1-0 lead, sit around for two days to think about it, and then be forced into a must-win situation a mere sixty minutes into the series.
Most important game of the series until eliminations, really. Tonight sets the tone.
Series preview can be found here. At this point, not much else you can say except what's already been said:
The Detroit Red Wings. Ponder that name for a minute. Let it marinate in your mouth. Let that red and white seep into your pores, let it consume your soul. Allow visions of Tomas Holmstrom and Chris Osgood to run wild in your mind; lifting Lord Stanley for all the world to see, drinking it's sweet nectar. Feel the Dark Side coarse through your veins. Accept it as a part of you, permit it entrance to the back of your throat till it becomes almost too much to bear.
Then spit that vile creature out.
Crush it beneath the soles of your shoes. Forsake every nightmare inducing memory from your cortex, erase the last four years of disappointment. Forget everything you think you know about your own dreams and aspirations. Understand that the next sixty minutes will not guarantee a damn thing. But understand that the next sixty minutes will show us everything.
Anyone who tells you tonight is just another game doesn't have a pulse.
Let's kick in the door and raise some hell.
Bold Claims with Gary Busey: Detroit Edition
- Joe Thornton has three goals and six assists in the Sharks series win.
- Thomas Greiss makes an appearance. Chris Osgood makes two.
- Dave Valentine will make at least one comment during the course of the series. Everyone will rec it. He will be flattered, and offer the entire community a Worther's Original.
- Joe Pavelski will be held off the board during the first two games at HP Pavilion, but will notch the winning goal in game three at Joe Louis.
- Brian Rafalski gives up his hockey career and finally pursues a life long dream of playing Cecil Turtle in a Warner Brothers motion picture.
- The Sharks only give up one power play goal at home all series long.
- They convert in the 35% range with the man advantage in HP Pavilion. Dany Heatley has two of those.
- Logan Couture has a breakout series. The "Bust" meme lives to see another day.
- TCY continues to misinterpret the meaning of that phrase whenever Couture scores.
- You watch this and don't know how to feel about it for a couple days.
- Tin foil sells out in the greater Detroit area by the end of the weekend.
Prediction: Sharks win 3-2. Goals by Heatley, Boyle, and McGinn. Douglas Murray and Niklas Kronwall collide at center ice in the second period, causing all remaining Sharks home games to be held at the Cow Palace.
Go Sharks.

After having to deal with obnoxious Wings fans down here for the past two weeks
I didn’t think my hatred for a team I’ve grown up hating in San Jose. We don’t need a reminder as to why we hate Detroit fans, but they remind you anyways. Exponentially. They invade. They taunt. They tell you that they are more righteous hockey fans. They disrespect the National Anthem. They pick on solo targets, while clumped together in packs of 3 or 4 drunkards. They play the martyr when you stick up for yourself.
If being a Sharks fan is wrong, I do not want to be right. I had to be the nice guy, as an ambassador to FFH. Here, I do not. And here, my passion is only outmatched by the fury that is coarsing through my veins, fueling my desire for not only victory, but pain. I want Detroit to be embarassed. I want them to go home with their tails tucked between their legs, knowing that San Jose will not stand for their narcssitic attitudes.
That being said, San Jose will win this series if they keep their feet moving in the defensive zone, and physically thrashing an already tiring Detroit team. The biggest mistake Phoenix made against Detroit was sitting back, and giving Detroit time to control the puck. Bodies must be sacrificed, emotionless and often. Playing in Detroit also presents challenges, as the crowd screams “OOOOOH” any time one of their beloved players gets so much as touched, as if the ref will call a penalty for sneezing. Detroit can run people after whistles, punch people in the face, and all but get away with murder. San Jose will not be allowed this luxury. And guess what? They don’t need it. They have rest, and they have energy. Detroit can be outhustled. Detroit can be outmuscled. And Detroit can be beaten.
And yes, I like Green Eggs and Ham, Sam I Am.
I like my goals like I like my booze..... Top shelf.

At least until the point where the crowd leaves the building. Even the Sharks’ boo-birds stick around until the end of the game, believing there is still a chance to turn things around. The sea of red seats during the entire third period of Detroit’s game 6 was pretty embarrassing. I guess the fans assumed they would have a chance to see them in Round 2. Crappy thing is that the damn cocky bastards were right.

The title...
“Toothpaste Makes My Orange Juice Sour”. I fear it is a long shot but please tell me that is a quote from an old Matches song. A now broken up east bay band that was really amazing. If so i say Sharks in 4, the bottom two lines are responsible for all the scoring this series and the red wings pull howard in the second period of each game and the matches get back together and win a grammy.

Sharks need to make Doug Wilson proud and win this round so that they can take on the winner of the Hawks vs. Nucks. I have seen the Sharks beat the Wings before (I was at the Tank in 94 when Arturs Irbe turned the tables on the President Trophy-winning Wings, one of my favorite hockey memories of all time), I know the Sharks can do it again. There is one thing that all Finheads need to take with them to the game…the “DETROIT SUCKS” chant!

Good idea Mark…tell us Sharks fans what we want to hear….oh, you’re not gunna do that?…ok…tell us Sharks fans why you think we will fail….oh you’re not gunna do that?…ok…make a cliche catch phrase and tell us Detroit will win because they have beaten us before…..PERFECT.
Fuckin’ genius that guy is.
Dude, lemme getchur keys.
I love his idea
of moving Logan up to a line with Thornton, because it makes great sense to have a rookie playmaker playing with confidence deferring to a veteran star playmaker who is struggling to put up points. His next move was to put Greiss in net and have Staubitz replace the Heater but the editor smacked him over the head.

ESPN-Pierre LeBrun's take
“Having personally witnessed the Game 7 carnage in Phoenix, this reporter just can’t go against these Red Wings, who are 20-6-2 since the Olympic break. But it won’t be easy. We also believe the Sharks are ready to show the hockey world they’re not the same team as in the past. Red Wings in seven games … in triple overtime.”
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/playoffs/2010/columns/story?columnist=lebrun_pierre&id=5145811
I love how he says this…
We also believe the Sharks are ready to show the hockey world they’re not the same team as in the past.
Followed by this…
Red Wings in seven games
Knowing full well that the Sharks losing this series in any fashion will lead to the entire national media calling us chokers yet again…including him. Sigh.

The whole seven games triple overtime is basically a cop out on his part. No matter who wins, no matter what happens, he’s basically hedged his bets and said both teams are good.
It's nothing but crumpled porno and Ayn Rand.
by strongrobot on Apr 29, 2010 10:01 AM PDT up reply actions
LeBrun is rooting for the Sharks, but doesn’t want to get burned again because he picked the Sharks to win the cup the past 2 years.
However, that idiot Hradek at ESPN says (on the Melrose line), “Detroit is rolling, Detroit in 5.” HAHAHA! Rolling? Because Phoenix collapsed in Game 7 after that Shorthanded goal? Detroit got crushed the game before.
Then known Sharks-hater, Barry Melrose, compares the matchup and says the matchup in goal is a wash. Let’s see Nabokov, a perennially top 10 goaltender against a rookie who gave up soft goals to Phoenix and has possibly the best defensemen in the league in front of him… A wash?
I think we can easily say that those East Coast hacks at ESPN don’t watch all of the Western Conference games.
Just another reason to fire it up!!! Go Sharks!

“The Sharks’ size up front will wear down the Wings’ defense. Combine that with Pavelski’s line providing secondary scoring, and San Jose will win in six games.”

As it should be
So this was probably inevitable that we’d meet Detroit at some point this playoff year. To win Lord Stanley’s cup, you need to beat the best and so we must destroy the Red Wings to advance. At least the Caps have fallen, giving us home ice throughout the playoffs.
I think we all know that Marleau, Heatley and Thornton will have to play big and step up their lack luster performances in round 1 for San Jose to stand a chance to win this thing. If we do steal game one tonight, there’s no reason why we can’t win this series. For the Sharks I think a lot has to do with confidence. Confidence that we can beat Detroit.
I’m looking for Murray to run Zetterberg or Datsyuk into/through the boards and for Jumbo Joe to throw down with anyone man enough to challenge him on Detroit.
Do I think we will win this series? No. Do I think we can? Yes!
If Thornton is fighting San Jose is screwed
that means things are so desperate that he has resorted to the role of someone like Shelley who is no longer even on the roster. If he is channeling that rage into battles on the boards or taking the puck to the net, Sharks win. If he plays -4 and decides to try and drop the gloves with a Sedin (last game of season) or a Duck, we all know how that turns out!
'It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.'
This is the series where it’s no longer cliched to say it’s do or die for the top line. Thornton’s going to play a huge role in the tempo that’s set in game 1 tonight. End of story. The key to success against this Wings team is to come out swinging from the drop of the puck. If they sit back like the Coyotes did, they’ll make it easier than beating an unarmed retard with a sack of doorknobs.
..:Fear The Fin:..
ouch. at first I thought that said No Arms, but either way..Ouch.
Joe just needs to get a massage and play hockey. Easy right? It always bugged me that Drew Remenda called him “the greatest hockey player in the world” when a Crosby transforms his game to meet whatever challenge is thrown at him. Or closer to home, when a Pavelski is rising to the occasion. There will be no greater test, measuring stick or opportunity to redefine his reputation. Obviously I am rooting for him.
'It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.'
avoiding eye contact with this series
my nerves are jangled. it’s much easier to look at vancouver/chicago and say “damn that’s gonna be a dog fight” than look at this game tonight but…
Detroit is the master. I don’t care what anyone says. They just flat out get it.
San Jose needs to pop that mystique bubble and see hockey players in front of them instead of playing through the Potential Consequences and Expectations and Playoff Failure labels. They can beat Detroit but they can’t beat Detroit if they are still battling themselves.
Pavleski, Clowe and Seto are the teal Excalibur. If they can help San Jose cut through this round, well, anything is possible.
Time to come out from under my desk. Go Sharks!

Papa Murphy’s for the cost, most every time. Second option is a couple local joints who kick the pants off any chain I’ve had. Round Table comes in after that, and then there’s Pizza Hut, Little Caesar’s, etc which I simply won’t eat outside of an event for which I didn’t provide the food.

I just hope the Sharks can use there size and speed against them-damn Wings. The Wings are much bigger then the Avs, but I think you still match up bigger and faster. I am also not sold on Howard (the Duck), they play such a puck possession type game, it makes all of their goalies look good (cough cough Osgood cough….)

They eventually released TMNT Arcade, which was good and then turtles in time on SNES which was all kinds of awesome.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Got to admit, the experience of playing the NES version made me not buy the SNES game. Guess it’s time to fire up an emulator to see what I missed.
It's nothing but crumpled porno and Ayn Rand.
Just so we’re clear, the one I’m hating on was a single player game where you wandered around in either top views or side scroller’s and beat random monsters that don’t make sense most of the time. If you died the foot then ‘captured’ one of your turtles and you had to swap to the next and hope to find and free the captured turtle later.
god was it bad.
The second level was a swimming level with electric plants lining the walls where you had to disarm a bunch of bombs to stop it from blowing up a bridge.

GO SHARKS!
I have a good feeling about this….kind of like an out of body experience. If we can beat the Wings, sure it’ll take a toll on our team, but if we can beat them I think this year will be our year! I’m nervous as hell but I’m ready…I needed this time as much as the players did to un-psyche myself out regarding DET. Kick some ass boys take their names and kick their asses again. You can do this! I BELIEVE!! Holy cow I can’t wait for the puck to drop. CLOWIEBELL GO DO YA THANG!

Ovi, Cindey, and Hank are the Hart finalists.
I can actually agree with Cindey and Hank being on there…I’m on the fence about Ovi.
..:Fear The Fin:..
OV was right in there stat-wise, even if I don’t think he was even the MVP of the Caps this year. The Hart is no longer about the most valuable, its about the best stats, and OVs were right at the top with these two.
I think Crosby wins, though.

From David Pollak’s WTW regarding the rally shirt color:
"I like it – but I just don’t understand why it’s not teal," Nabokov said, before quickly adding: "It’s not my decision."
Black T-shirts, Nabokov acknowledged, aren’t popular with goalies for the obvious reason as they make the puck harder to see. But teal or white or orange? All fine.

Purdy actually picks the Wings in 7 in his article, and then I am pretty sure he ends it with a “Toy Story” reference- pretty sure but still can’t believe it… that was painful.

2. Everyone is going to pick the Wings except for those here on this blog. Remember, the Sharks choke in the playoffs, the Wings do not.

I know. I went into this fully expecting everyone to just pick Detroit, especially after watching Game 7, but in reality, the only people that are picking them so far are the local media in Detroit and ESPN homers (remember, many of them picked Colorado over San Jose.. some bitter feelings there).
Everyone else pretty much says that the Sharks have to break through one year, and this year just might be the year. With more than one line clicking, and Detroit being very tired of travel between AZ and Michigan back and forth, the Sharks may take an early lead and bring it home.
I’ll stop here. Wait for an article at 1.

Message to Mark Purdy: nobody is biting on your little nickname. stop it already. you just embarras yourself – not that your writing doesn’t already do that.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll mention it again. The fans actually told him to stop. His response was basically…no, and I don’t give a shit what you think. Real smooth. Since then, I absolutely REFUSE to read his drivel. I would love if everyone did the same. The dude just likes to hear his own voice and read his own words.

But there are other writers other than Pollak worth reading, like Emmons.
I'm pretty sure
that at this point Purdy does it JUST to piss people off. I read one of his articles once when he just talked about all the hate mail he gets and he pretty much said that.
This guy at my school does.
I play hockey with him and he is pretty much a bandwagoner. After I heard him say that, I called him out.

I fully expect that by the time I land we will have a 1-0 series lead. LET’S FUCKING MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Redheaded Stepchild, No More!!
The Wings have been beating us like redheaded stepchildren forever. Its time for us to stop it now!!! We need to stand up to these bullies and put them in their place.
The Kids Need To Lead Us Now
I am so glad that this kids stepped up in the first round and proved they are the leaders and future of this team, not Slowfoot Joe and girlfriend Patty.
We go as far as the kids, Nabby, Heater, Manny, Scotty and Boyle can take us. Slowfoot and Patty just stay out of the way.
Due respect
But we need four lines going, period.
Detroit has more defensive depth than Colorado. We have to win the battle up and down the lineup.
There are no passengers. No one who can just “stay out of the way.”

The Sharks have faced the Red Wings three times in the playoffs before this series, if my math is correct. They have won once, and lost twice. Never, though, have they been the superior seed. I’m thinking it’s time to bring this back to even, and wipe the floor with the Wings…
GO SHARKS!!!!
This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time.
If Todd McLellan has any line changes in mind for tonight’s series opener against the Red Wings, he didn’t show his cards at the morning skate. Instead, it was the same forward combinations that started Game 6 against Colorado:
Marleau-Thornton-Mitchell
Clowe-Pavelski-Setoguchi
Heatley-Couture-Malhotra
McGinn-Nichol-Helminen
Love it!

in a bit of a repost from the other day
My Predators have failed. My bandwagon team, the Capitals, have failed. All thats left to this battered soul is raw hatred for Detroit and everything they stand for. They are, to a word, evil. It would provide me countless hours of enjoyment if San Jose made the Wings their bitch over the next two weeks.
I know Nashville and San Jose haven’t always been on good terms, and yes, I’ve hated you a time or two. But tonight that all goes out the window. Fuck Detroit, and go Sharks. God save us all.

Wait a minute.
I know you. You’re Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
I’m sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else.
My name is Roger Murdock. I’m the co-pilot.
You are Kareem. I’ve seen you play. My dad’s got season tickets.
I think you should go back to your seat now Joey. Right Clarence?
Nahhhhhh, he’s not bothering anyone, let him stay here.
But just remember, my name is [showing his nametag] ROGER MURDOCK. I’m an airline pilot.
I think you’re the greatest, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense.
And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try… except during the playoffs.
The hell I don’t. LISTEN KID. I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.
THE REGULAR SEASON IS A GATEWAY DRUG
Cuz lemme tell you, whatever the coming game is doing to my brain, it’s most definitely not sobriety anymore.

Great Start
Way to go Sharks to win that first one. Its so big for the team to gain confidence from this victory that they can beat the Wings and get the monkey off their backs.
Loved seeing Heater playing healthy tonight. Pavs is freakin awesome and so is Seto.
Keep the momentum going guys!!!
