Working in Downtown San Jose, I'm subject to a lot of casual Sharks fans.

You know the kind. The people who think Tim Kawakami and Mark Purdy write about the Sharks all year long. The people who are quick to jump on the bandwagon, but even quicker to leap off. The people who throw around words like heartless, gutless, and chokers. 

Makes me sick.

It's tough being around those people, because they're the people who jumped off the train when Dan Boyle chipped one past Nabokov, only to climb back on as the team beat Colorado in six and then Detroit in five. 

In my opinion, that's why it's tough to be a Sharks fan. Because everywhere you look, there's someone turning their back to the team, writing them off after a two game losing streak against one of the best teams in the league.

Hell, I'm as disappointed as the next guy (or girl). Falling down 2-0 in the series at home isn't the way I wanted this to happen, but it's the reality we're faced with. But instead of joining the pack of calloused Sharks fans, I find myself in the minority: one which believes that the Sharks can recover from a two game deficit to rally and defeat the Blackhawks. Call it faith.

My prophet? Dan Boyle. A man who many believed should have been captain showed once again that he is the heart and soul of this team, leading a closed door meeting after a game two loss and throwing some pretty heavy quotes at the media this week. For everyone who claims that this team "doesn't care" or "doesn't have the heart", look no further than number 22.

Now, words aren't going to win any games, and I think the Sharks understand that. There are a laundry list of things that went wrong in game two: stupid penalties, shoddy defense, sub par goaltending, lack of physicality, facing a hot goaltender and little to no flow in the offensive zone. Those are all problems, though, that the Sharks have been able to overcome during the season and the playoffs. And looking at how well they played in game one, there is no reason that the Sharks can't right their game and steal two in Chicago. 

That's where it starts, though. If the Sharks drop game three, there is little to no chance of coming back (unless you expect another Philadelphia type miracle). 

I think the Sharks know that. But even if they don't win game three, I won't count them out until all opportunities have expired. Maybe that puts me in the minority, but I really don't care. I just spent the majority of the night getting sloshed with my grandma. 

Prediction: Sharks win 5-2. Goals by Boyle (x2) and one each from the HTML. 

Go Sharks.

I'd like to see the Sharks do what the Habs did last night:

Completely dismantle the opposition, solve their goaltender, get in their heads, and show everyone that we’re still in this. Gonna be a loooooong day until 7pm CDT rolls around.

With that said, I’m oddly calm this morning. Maybe it’s like an I-don’t-care attitude, almost feels like I’m numb to the outcome, if anyone catches my drift. Maybe all those walls I built around my fragile Sharks-watching psyche are finally kicking in. Good day for a win, Go Sharks.

Yes!

I think we could definitely take a page out of the Habs book. They looked great last night and seem to play better with their backs against the wall. Even if we were to drop tonight’s game, there’s still hope. Where’s it written that two teams couldn’t come back from a 3-0 series in the same season?

The history books

not specifically, but it’s probably right there next to “Nabokov is not allowed to have shutouts” and “Mike Grier is not allowed to score on empty nets”

I hear ya though, but I don’t want to think about going down 3. Hawks are a much better team than the Bs, although the Sharks are a much better team than Philly.

Forget about...

…getting in the Hawks’ heads. That’s not how you beat them.

Based on their pattern of 3 good games/1 steaming hot mess, tonight is the Hawks’ hot mess night.

The Sharks need to score first & early, take the UC out of it. The UC is basically the Shark Tank with an extra 5000 people in there.

Keep rolling the HTML and hope QStache keeps throwing Bolland’s line out there. QStache likes matchups,and Kris Versteeg and his dangling can lead to some costly Hawks turnovers.

Get bodies in the slot, and keep sticks on the ice. Make Keith & Seabrook work for it.

Do not – and I can’t stress this enough – pinch the Dmen. The Hawks were starting to use more stretch passes as Game 2 went on, and if the Sharks’ Dmen cheat in, Nabokov will be left alone too many times.

The Sharks can take tonight’s game, them they have to play an absolutely perfect game, combined with luck, to take Game 4.

Prediction: Sharks 5, Hawks 2. Huet plays the 3rd.

I disagree

I think the Sharks get killed if they keep trying to rely on HTML to carry the world on their shoulders. If they win tonight, it’ll be because McLellan wisened up — why hasn’t Couture played more? And I know he’s not necessarily thought highly of, but there’s a reason why Demers has been labeled a “Hawk killer” by some.

Also, Niclas Wallin is my new favorite Shark.

And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough…the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go!

I like it!

I wouldn’t even use the words “steal two”, because I think they can win them by just outplaying Chicago as they did in game one.

The D is the biggest question mark, as is the lack of scoring, due in large part to Niemi.

Let’s assume the law of averages takes effect here, and Niemi is human again. We should be able to get 3 or more past him. Especially if ALL SJ players give as much as Boyle is giving.

As dissapointed as I’ve been with the lack of scoring, Chicago is beatable at the United Center 3-3 in this years playoffs. So let’s assume we win tonight, because we have to. Game 4 will shape up to be one for the ages.

Prediction: Nabby lets in a softy 10 minutes in. The UC crowd starts the sing-song chant “BOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAT”. Nabby goes Belfour on Buttfuggly’s calves, resulting in Nabby’s ejection and Buffy’s exit to the dressing room, not to return. Boyle scores two goals and gives the crowd what would obviously be two middle fingers if he wasn’t wearing gloves. Griess stops all that he sees. Sharks win 2-1.

Nice write up Matt.

And that’s a beauty of playoff system. One win can change a lot of things. Look at Montreal – I’d be scared to death after last night if I’m a Flyers fan.

And that’s all we need right now, one win.

If we could get a win in Detroit against the Red Machine, while being down 1-3 in the 3rd period, there is a reason to believe we’re fully capable of getting one in Chicago.

Keys to tonight

1. Contest your blueline: Chicago is a speedy team for sure, and the natural inclination is to back up and give them room. Team Canada neutralized Patrick Kane for large portions of the Gold Medal Game by collapsing on him as he entered the zone, forcing him to try and deke 4 guys. The US scored their first goal when he dished the puck wide. Take away the easy entries for Chicago and force them to dump and chase. Their forwards are much less effective without the puck. Not saying they’re bad without it, they’re just not lethal.

2. Stay in front of Niemi: Keith and Seabrook are absolutely owning the paint in their own end. Whoever is playing out there has to be stronger on their sticks. Force them into taking bad penalties, but more than anything, when Jumbo and Pavs are working their magic behind the net, the wingers HAVE to stay in front of the net with sticks on the ice for a legit pass. Jumbo and Pavs will get the puck there, someone has to be there to put them home.

3. Tune it all out: Bandwagon fans and East Coast Bias are fan problems. Taking the Sharks lightly is a fan problem. I guarantee, there are at least 19 guys who are NOT taking the Sharks lightly tonight, and they will all be wearing red jerseys and skates. Regardless of what has happened in the past, regardless of the score in the series, regardless of what will happen in the offseason, Chicago is going to come to play tonight. So don’t get caught in the trap of trying to prove yourself. PLAY YOUR GAME.

My one key is…

HIT THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF THEM!!! I mean, seriously, we have size, use it! Pummel them along the boards. Make them hurt everytime they try to contest a loose puck. Make them wince everytime they think about carrying the puck over the middle. Make it hard to play out there, and they will fold, and the Sharks will get back into the series.

Continue to play soft, and try to pass too much, and not want to hit…well, then we’re already dead.

Shaved a super epic beard…. and we won!!! Currently, my playoff beard is enourmous and thank the f*ck christ i work at a place that has no facial hair restrictions!

My beard got too heavy... that's why the sharks started losing...

It was seriously starting to look sloppy, and heavy, and not well together. Just like the sharks were playing – sloppy, slow, and not well together…

I just had to trim mine after those two losses… busted out the scissors and a comb and took’r down a bit…

Beard is lookin fresh. Lets hope the sharks are just as fresh and are smelling blood tonigtht.

What are the odds on the Hawks scoring first?

I feel like we play better when we go down (except Game 2), as many of the wins I can remember from this post season have been of the come-from-behind variety. I’d love to see the Sharks open it up early, and I’ll probably keep throwing shit around my apartment if we go down early, but I’m thinking we can get it done either way. Goodness I hope for the sake of my mental health that we win tonight. I don’t get sick or personal days at work, so I need to be able to come in on Monday without wanting to cross the street and jump from the observation deck of the Sears Tower into the river. Why is caring so hard?

Danny Boyle shirt. After his comments since game 2 I’m going again and rocking my Boyle Shirt proudly now and today. Game 2 was riddled with poor execution and trying to play Chicago’s style. I agree there is no reason to think the Sharks won’t bounce back and play a strong game tonight. Especially with an extra day off in there to have to sit on what went on in game 2. The Sharks more than almost anyone in the league can force a team to play their style when they want. Bring on game 3 and let’s get this back to the bay.
