Sharks Win the Physical Battle and Reclaim the Lead in the West

What looked like an easy win for the Sharks with 11 minutes left in the game turned into the Fight Night at the Tank.
After a shaky first period, San Jose Sharks dominated the second with three goals and the game looked all but finished as the third period was dragging to its logical ending. It all started with a scrum involving Scott Nicol around the boards that put the sharks on a 5-on-3 penalty kill. Whether it was a border-line dirty play by the home team, or a frustration by the Canucks, as they failed to score during a minute of 2-men advantage - but all hell broke lose. The fights were starting one after another and at one point, the Sharks had six players sitting in a small penalty box. Who knew it could fit that many? When the third period was finished, both teams combined for 76 penalty minutes time, in that period alone.
But the game did not start this way.
Following the last road trip of the regular season, San Jose Sharks looked unfocused and tired in the first period of the game. Playing in his 70th start this season, Nabokov had to put another brilliant performance in the first half of the game to keep the game close. When facing 3-on-1 rush with just 8 minutes into the game, Nabokov came out with the biggest save of the game. He read the play before it happened and knew exactly where the puck would go. Tw o minutes later, he stopped two more breakaways against him as the Sharks were on a power play.
The good news is that whatever problems Nabby was having focusing at the start of the game are no longer there. The bad news is that the rest of the team still has them. I get concerned every time the Sharks go on a power play early on. Boyle finds himself deep in the zone, Sharks turn over the puck and no one is there to prevent a 2-on-1 or a 3-on-1, as was the case tonight. This may change in playoffs, as all teams begin to play a more conservative game, but it is still one of the team's weaknesses.
Nevertheless, the Sharks were first to score with the help of the Sharks' post-Olympics MVP Ryane Clowe. He stole the puck in the offensive zone, datsyuked it past two Canucks players and delivered it to Joe Pavelski, who was standing all alone in front of the net.
In the second period, Logan Couture did it again. His 5th goal of the season looked like his goal against the Flames. He was standing in front of the net, with his back to Raycroft, while taking hits from a defenseman. But when the puck was fired his way, he had his stick in the right place for a redirect. Couture now has 9 points in 12 games post-Olympics.
Not long after the second goal, Dany Heatley reminded us once again that he is the Sharks' second best passer. What a way to return a favor for all the goals Heatley scored on assists from Thornton this season, as two combined for the third goal to make the score 3-0.
As second period was coming to an end, Many Malhotra increased the lead to four goals, with his shot into Raycroft's 5-hole on an odd-man rush. With all respect to the Sharks' center, that goal probably ended Raycroft's playing time this season. For the Canucks, it's now Loungo or bust.
After the street brawl half way through the third period, the momentum of the game shifted to the Cancucks, as they came within two goals of tying the game. The turn of events was not shocking. In each fight and in each confrontation between the players, somehow Dennis LaRue penalized the Sharks with more minutes. The play went from 5-on-4 to 5-on-3 to 4-on-3 in favor of the Canucks after each stop during that memorable stretch in the game.
But the Sharks were playing at home and the fans were playoff loud, celebrating every block, every hit and every clearance of the puck and the home team prevailed.
Since the 6-game winless streak was over, the Sharks have gone 7-1-1, and with the two points earned tonight, the reclaim the no.1 spot in the Western Conference.
The post-Olympics hangover seems to be over. The Sharks are back.

Pavelski was the first goal scorer...
Just sayin. Although I agree Clowe deserves post olympic mvp.
added a quick clarification – “with the help..”
I’m still pumped after the win. I don’t know how players will be able to sleep tonight.

Good recap
In the second period, Logan Couture did it again. His 8th goal of the season looked like his goal against the Flames.
Couture has eight points, four goals. Seems like there is always an issue with one of our articles, and I’m just as much at fault as you and TCY. We need to pick up the pace here for the playoffs ;)
I agree that Nabby kept the team in the game early on. I thought it was a strong team effort, but he really did bail us out of a lot of jams.
How awesome would a series with the Nucks be? The shenanigans tonight (which got me and my buddy screaming at the Sedins with passion— the playoffs are here baby!) reminded me of a couple years back (maybe last year?) when there was that post-final buzzer mixup as the Nucks were leaving the ice. Bad blood brewing.
On a side note, Kevin Bieksa is pretty awesome despite wearing another team’s sweater. Always reminded me of Chris Pronger.

Haha yeah I know. It was just funny that as I was saying it always an issue for us, I go ahead and cite the wrong number of goals Couture has.

reminded me of a couple years back (maybe last year?) when there was that post-final buzzer mixup as the Nucks were leaving the ice. Bad blood brewing.
Think it was last year when one of the Sedins shoved Ryane Clowe at the end of the game. I also think it was the deathly boring game where the Sharks were losing 1-0 until the last minute and won in OT.

I think the chances of facing the Nucks before the Conference final are slim, but if it happens eventually, it’ll be a blood bath. Hopefully a Swedish one.
I always hated them more than any other Canadian team. Even more so now.

So, I was sitting around at home around 6:45 tonight, and had just made some dinner, getting ready to watch the game on TV, and my roommate rolls into my room. He’s all “yo, my buddy can’t go to the game tonight, get dressed, we have to go get his ticket.” So I threw on my Teal jersey, and we hit the road! Got to the game around the first TV timeout. Man, what a lucky break for me!
The Tank was pretty nuts tonight. And how could it not be with all the insanity going on! The team was feisty tonight, and looked pretty friggin good. I liked that they were all still engaged in the game with a 4-0 lead with the playoffs on the horizon. I love how they didn’t let Vancouver try to take liberties with them. I love that every line seemed to be scoring. We’re going to need scoring from everywhere, and between Couture being a beast, and Malhotra being a beast, and then Thornton GOT A GOAL! I mean, holy shit!
Anyways, I’m pretty fucking stoked after that game, and am ready for the playoffs to start. The Sharks are finding ways to win games. Have won 7 of their last 9, which is not a bad way to head into the postseason. Man, bring it on. Fuck it, lets do this!

I had the shittiest March in recent memory (aside from the Sharks slump) and was practically ready for a complete nervous breakdown. My good friend Chris called me last night and asked, “What are you doing tomorrow night?” and of course I knew what this meant and tonight off to the tank we go. So psyched when you think there is no chance in hell you are gonna make a game and then it happens. I am actually 11-2-1 at the tank this season! The hockey Gods are smiling upon us this April.

You said it. The Tank was out of control tonight; everyone ate up every one of those 73 combined penalty minutes in the third. I also loved seeing the effort level coming from all 4 lines, I loved seeing angry Joe, I loved Nabby’s play, and I loved the fact that Mitchell is finally getting some recognition for the effort he’s been putting in of late.
I don’t know how I’m going to sleep tonight. Just got back to Monterey from the Tank and the adrenaline’s still running high.

And yes; Southern California people say “THE 805” or “THE 101”. In Northern California, it still is said but usually it’s like, “Take 85N” or “Take 880 South until it turns into 280 North but that’s also called 17 South which is actually West.”

SoCal vs. NorCal
You don’t put an indefinite article in front of a proper noun. 101 is the name of the freeway up here. I don’t go by The Patrick. That would be dumb. 101 is just 101. People in SoCal just like to say The (insert freeway number here), and its just a point of contention between the two sides. We hate how they say The 101, and they hate how we say Hella. It happens when people live somewhere that doesn’t naturally have water and have to steal all of ours!

my only friends who use “the” have parents from down south or who lived down there for a formative period of time. However, my friends from LA never noticed that I didn’t say “the” until i pointed it out. so maybe one of the two is going on. Also maybe you being in the middle there changes things up

I’ve always understood the name of the free way to be “The 101 Freeway.” we just use a more formal version of it.

I think it’s because we don’t really drive on any single digit freeways like they do in So Cal. I mean it would sound weird to say “im on 5” or “take 5”.
I don’t think “I’m on 101” sounds right either… “I’m on the 101” When the freeways have actual names we ditch the ‘the.’ We’ll say “Take Imperial Highway 10 miles” or whatever, but a number doesn’t sound like a proper name, so we don’t treat it like one.

the is unneccesary
because the freeway numbers provide enough information.
There is only one 101 freeway in this state, and since the person you’re speaking to usually knows where you are based on earlier context, you don’t need a the.

That sounds a little weird with First, so let’s try Elm.
“Take a right at Elm Street” or “Take a right at The Elm Street”?
Isn't "The" actually on the sign name though?

Yeah, it’s on the sign, but if we were really true to not saying “the” we’d just say “Take Alameda until it turns into Camino Real” (can’t say “El” either!)
I guess I'm not true to not saying "the"
but true to what the sign says. Still making me more right than those silly socal people.

According to this indefinite article theory
The first line of this article should read as the following:
“What looked like an easy win for Sharks with 11 minutes left in the game turned into the Fight Night at Tank. "
Which, admittedly would be somewhat appropriate if Ivano actually wrote it, but it wouldn’t sound like correct English.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Lol what does this have to do with proper grammar? “take 101” is just how it’s said in Nor Cal, and it sounds right to anyone who’s lived here most of their lives.
Except that it was explained as proper grammar to leave out the ‘the’ in the post I’m responding to.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
And that we’re grammatically wrong for putting the ‘the’ in there when using the highway name.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Though, upon further research
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_%28grammar%29
‘the’ isn’t even an indefinite article, it is a definite article and it’s use before proper nouns was never in question. In English ‘a’ and ‘an’ are indefinite articles, and it makes sense that you would never say “take a 101 South”, that would just be stupid.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
What I'm trying to say is...
Suck it NorCal! WE HAVE YOUR WATER!!! HAHAHAHAHA
:)
Go the Sharks!
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
I miss our water.
Also, “the” might be both a definite and an indefinite article. Anyways, I was always taught that the indefinite articles are a, an, and the.
Also, this thread of conversation BLEW THE FUCK UP since I’ve been off toiling in safe mode on my machine for the last few hours. This is pretty awesome.

Oh it looked like you were responding to my post. When i said “im on 5” sounds weird, i didn’t mean grammatically, obviously both are incorrect. But Saying “im on 101” just sounds better than “im on 5”. “im on 5” is sounds too curt, and…just weird. I think because 101 has 3 digits, it almost sounds like you are including the article before the freeway name, at least in practice. “im on 101” almost sounds like your saying “im on the 01” or something.
Lol i dunno why i’m even thinking about this, theres no point in trying to rationalize it really.
When I'm on I-5
I refer to it as just “Five”. /shrug

we’re trying to justify the way we speak by claiming we speak rightly according to proper grammar. It’s a matter of pride. Each side wants to be justified in “being right” so each side claims to be speaking “proper” grammar.
It basically comes down to dialect. Much like one area of the country says “pop” (you know, the heathens) and the rest says “soda.” It’s contextual and region based.
I just took issue when it was used as a grammatical argument because that’s a load.
Though, I’m going to stop putting the in front of proper nouns now because it’s funny.

AWESOME GAME
It was the perfect game to play going into the playoffs. I really think we’ll end up first in the west by the end of this.
Nabby was brilliant, and everyone was scoring. HTML will get going again and our offense will look BANANAS.
AHHH! Soo excited for the playoffs!
Chicago
will be first. I can’t see them rolling over and giving up home ice. They just have to win out…

"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
The biggest indication of how chippy the third period got between San Jose and Vancouver came when the referee screamed at Ryane Clowe to sit down in the Sharks penalty box.
When Clowe yelled back there was no space left because five of his teammates were also in the box, he was told: “Sit on the guy’s lap.”
lol
I loved it when they had Clowe come out of the box. He skates halfway across the ice and then whips his head around like somebody insulted his mother. I thought one of the Canucks had said something and we were going to get another fight. Awesome game to be at. I’m still wound up from it.
I love him for that....
I’ve missed this feisty Clowe.

I shouldn't have said anything.
Hahaha you freaking yahoo. I never said Clowe doesn’t have good hands, I said that in no way his hands are as good as Datsyuk’s. Datsyuk probably has the best hands in the entire world.

classic?
Hate to throw around cliches but this should stand as the way to play a statement, pre playoff tune up against another highly considered contender.
The Sharks look like they were coasting and have decided to turn it up. Evidence? Nabby was jumpin. Either he was on something or he was just, on.
This was one of the first games in a long time where players names were being called out on the broadcast in proportion to their salary/status on the team. For example the only time I even saw Huskins was when he was sitting on the empty bench during scrap-a-nuck 2010. It was Heater this or Pavs that, or Jumbo is fighting eeeeveryone…which is how it should be!

Couture is a freakin Jack-in-a-box! Cross checked down popbackup and I would swear his body never hits the ice.
