Five For HowlingIce Chips |
...a new fintastic point of view, no one to criticize Jumbo Joe, or ask where is Clowe, or say we're only dreaming.
Unbelievable fights, indescribable DW fleecings. Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling, through an endless diamond defenseman sky,
A bold newww worldddddd...
1) Joe Pavelski leads the Sharks in goals during the 2011-2012 season. Coming off a season that saw him log a shooting percentage well below his career average, log third minute center duties, and still manage to finish first on the Sharks in shots with 282, Pavelski gets placed on the top line alongside Joe Thornton, quickly falls in love with the reduced responsibility of playing wing compared to his usual center role, and finishes the season with more goals than any Sharks player on the roster.
2) The San Jose Sharks help to end the increasing issue of commercial courtesans in downtown San Jose, but then cause a spike in activity mere minutes later. With a rough economy and an elimination of the Vice Unit having some adverse effects on the streets of San Jose, the Sharks tight defensive game and rugged determination in the defensive zone seemingly ends the era of the red light district. Unfortunately, an influx of goals does little to help the situation; as the red lights flicker off and on, confusion reigns and the streets see chaos.
3) Thomas Greiss plays himself onto a full-time role with the team by the time Antero Niittymaki gets healthy. After a disappointing season abroad, Greiss makes a triumphant return to the NHL, helping to backstop the team during a rough start to the year from starting netminder Antti Niemi. With Al Stalock's injury healing at a superhuman rate (Stalock Saves himself this time, but rest assured he still plans to cure twice as much leprosy next offseason) and the Worcester Sharks receiving quality goaltending from Tomas Heemskerk, Harri Sateri, and Tyson Sexsmith in the AHL, the increased defensive acumen of the Sharks blueline complements Greiss' sometimes erratic and always aggressive style perfectly.
4) Joe Thornton finds himself in the Selke conversation for the first time in his career. Jumbo Joe starts where he finished last season. He leads the League in takeaways, sees his point totals return to a point per game, and does it all against the toughest competition amongst Sharks forwards.
5) Brent Burns is mediocre defensively throughout the year, but his defenseman-leading point totals and partner Marc-Edouard make those concerns somewhat irrelevant. Despite some rather glaring errors in his own end, Burns gets better and better defensively throughout the 2011-2012 season and sets the tone for what will be a Norris caliber campaign in 2012-2013.
6) Dany Heatley scores 35 goals in Minnesota while Havlat bounces in and out of the lineup with various bumps and bruises. After being traded from his third team throughout his career, Heatley takes a newfound passion in his offseason training regiment, enters the season on a tear, and proceeds to light the lamp with frequency alongside supremely underrated centerman Mikko Koivu. Havlat is an extremely effective part of the Sharks lineup when healthy, his speed meshing well with Couture and Clowe en route to a 21 goal season, but nagging injuries cause him to play 61 games throughout the year.
7) Despite the best Sharks roster in the history of the franchise, San Jose has to clinch the Pacific on the final week of the regular season. A Kings team blessed with health all season long doesn't slow down in November like they did last season, and various injuries to the Sharks top six throughout the year put pressure on their scoring depth. Backed by the goaltending tandem of Jonathan Quick and Jonathan Bernier, Los Angeles goes toe to toe with San Jose the entire year. It all leads to a home and home in the season's final weekend, where the Sharks manage to get three points and clinch their fifth Pacific Division title in a row.
8) Vlasic continues to go unnoticed across the League, and I continue to use the term "underrated" to describe him in order to childishly illuminate my "excellent" analytical skills. I come off looking like an egocentric hipster in the process, drinking a 6 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon every night while listening to whatever Pitchfork says I should listen to in order to dull the pain.
9) Jamie McGinn scores 6 goals during the year and we write a post like this after every single one of them.
10) The Sharks roar out of the gate, hit a midseason lull in mid December through early January, pick it up again only to run into difficulty during a 7 game road trip in February, but put the finishing touches on a 108 point season by catching fire all through the month of March. This is ultra specific so you know it's going to be right on the money.
*Disclaimer: Fear The Fin does not endorse, nor recognize, these predictions unless they come to fruition. If half of them come true, I will cherry pick the results and publish an article lauding my accomplishments later in the season.
Prediction: Sharks win 4-1. Goals by Pavelski, Burns, Couture, and Mitchell.

My single bold prediction for the season – Torrey Mitchell has a breakout year scoring 40 points and earns himself a mid-season contract extension of 2 years / $3.2mil.
That would be awesome.

Interesting take
A little “out of this world” but I"ll buy it. 108 points, seems likely and not far fetched for this years squad. Can we hire Hank Williams Jr now for a fantastical intro song? " a San Jose Shark can survive!….".

I like the predictions but your saying we will have to endure the BS from every LA fan that the Kings are a shoe in for the division even longer then last season, GREAT…
I could see...
Havlat getting off to a slow start offensively after all the down-time from the shoulder surgery.
And I could also see Greiss playing well—if he gets anything close to consistent playing time. There’s really no reason for McLellan to overwork Niemi (unless Greiss sucks)…but we all know that may happen anyway.
Ugh. I’m going to be spending a lot of time today contemplating the $160 for GameCenter Live. Well, whatever—I know I’m weak when it comes to these things, so barring a miraculous x96 return tonight, I’m sure I’ll give the league more of my money.

So to make things worse, the area I moved to in N.C. has Charter—but in our location they don’t even offer Center Ice or the NHL Network, so no preview for me.
At least I get Versus on the standard cable package. Yay. The small victories.

No contract with Charter right? Go get DirecTV- being in a contract sucks but they have the best programming and you can get Center Ice. It’s what I had for 3 years when I lived in NC (Fort Bragg area).

Agreed—and I don’t know if we’ll be in this place for more than a year, so getting the best deal on cable and internet for one year is best.
Anyway, I did it. Put out the money for GameCenter Live. This is addict behavior, but whatever—it’s going to be a long winter, and it’d be longer with shitty feeds or no Sharks games.

Gamecenter looks pretty cool (never tried it myself). I guess it depends on your internet connection.
And Center Ice looks like it would be worth it if you watched games other than Sharks games as well.

I have really good connection, but I would much rather take advantage of the 50" plasma screen than waste it on my laptop. Its looking like Center Ice is only about 10 bucks more expensive than Gamecenter though….
for the free preview on center ice, do you have to call or anything to set it up or will it automatically be on TV for comcast?

Does your laptop have HDMI-out? I wonder what the picture would look like if you tried watching Gamecenter on your TV.
It would have to be HD though. Non-HD hockey just isn’t worth it anymore.
"Logan Couture is a dirty, filthy man. Tell all your friends" - Mr. Plank
Welcome to the NHL, Atlanta Thrashers of Winnipeg.
Gamecenter is better in my opinion because everything you want is on demand. You can go back and watch every single game from earlier in the year without wasting DVR space. The only drawback is, like you said, the inability to use your TV.
The picture is crystal clear though, so if you have a hookup that can transfer your computer’s screen onto your TV, you could get a workaround.
Another thing to check is whether or not Center Ice broadcasts in HD in your area. When I had it there was no HD broadcast. That could be a gamebreaker, so make sure to do your homework beforehand.
TL;DR: I recommend Gamecenter but do your homework and find what works for you.

Also, if you get a set-top box like a Roku player, BOOM Gamecenter is on your TV. I think PS3 has the same capabilities, but don’t quote me on this.
But yeah, I feel like Gamecenter has a lot more bang for its buck than Center Ice, especially if you have a way to watch it on a TV.

I don’t have netflix or anything though. I feel like it would just encourage me to buy more packages…

Do you, or anyone else, know anything about hockeystreams.com? I just want a way to watch the sharks games in decent quality without having to pay for an entire cable package, but I live in the blackout region for using Gamecenter.
I hate cable companies so much.

and I’m in the process of getting the appropriate hookups to watch it on my TV.
Until then I’ll be glued to my computer.

Well maybe with the NBA lockout, more Sharks games will be shown that’d normally be reserved for Blazers games.
BEAT DAT BEAT

I never thought of that…thats so true. they only time they played hockey was when the blazers werent on… but like more than half of the time it was a canucks game they would air

not everybody who has cable is aware that Center Ice is free this week. We didn’t know until we read about it on another blog.
Adopted Giant: Eddie I Have It Grant.
TSFGWTWS DESPITE Botchy, not BECAUSE of him.
Center Ice is free until the 23rd
At least on Time Warner in Socal, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Center Ice promo so it should apply elsewhere.
For those of you asking
X96 is down for good this time, as trying to access it gets a 403 error.

I've been waiting for this day for months now...
So far today: Wake up late After playing Heavy Rain @ my buddy’s house on PS3 (crazy game), First thing, Read FTF. NICE.
it’s sunny and warm here in NY, which rarely happens in October.,. This has to be an omen from the hockey gods.
I also saw someone say CenterIce is previewing games free for the first two weeks… if this is True, then DOUBLE NICE.
Can’t wait for all the game day mojo and memes to start. I love October. I love hockey. I especially love FTF. This is the only place that gets me amped for the game, even if iI can’t see it.
KEEP THE FAITH- GO SHARKS!

Oh San Jose, how I have missed thee
Your tap water that doesn’t smell or taste like chlorine, your fresh and clear air, your passion for hockey, your lack of bike thieves… Why have I forsaken you?
Yeah, I’m going to be at the game tonight. I have really, really missed both hockey and San Jose. Tonight is going to be AWESOME.

Kings not looking so good...
They can’t get through the neutral to save their lives. So much for being a lock for the Pacific.
Anyone who thinks Doug Wilson and Todd McLellan are not masters of their craft need not burden us with their commentary.
It’s Game 1.
GO SHARKS!

Sharks Hockey?
If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
Heatley and Seto seem to be each other's favorite targets to pass to
Heatley has had a couple great chances but hasn’t scored yet.
Anyone seen the Sharks' schedule...?
they play about 20 games in the stretch of a month, from March 1-April 6.
that’s about 20 games in 37 days…kind of concerning. They don’t have that many games in October-November…about…20 games in those 2 months. But December to April…

You know, I never actually finished the series...
After you discover who killed Laura Palmer and that plot gets resolved, it turns into a stupid, dumbshit soap opera that has nothing to do with the amazingness that just happened. I understand it gets good again right near the end but… I just didn’t have the patience for that.

It did go off the rails a bit after ABC made Lynch divulge the killer
but I liked the back half mainly due to Annie Blackwood and Windom Earle.
Jamal Mayers continuing the tradition of fighting Dallas Stars players
But now is doing it in a Blackhawks uniform
This lack of hockey streams is disappointing
I really want to watch the Wild play, but there’s absolutely no way to do that!

The puck probably requested a trade to the back of the net.
