Gameday Thread: Sharks @ Flames

San Jose Sharks at Calgary Flames, Jan 24, 2012 6:00 PM PST




Some excellent news on Brent Burns today, whose potentially disastrous injury last night has turned out to be "more charley horse than a knee" according to David Pollak via Twitter. McLellan mentioned that Burns may be able to play immediately following the All-Star Break-- whether or not that comes to fruition is nearly irrelevant in the big picture of course, as the main takeaway from today's presser should be that he does not appear to be looking at a long-term ailment that would take him into April.

Some other news and notes from today as the Sharks try and snap their scoring skid against the Calgary Flames:

Puck drops at 6:07 PM.

You know

Homework isn’t supposed to be used as a form of punishment; it just makes students not want to the actual homework either. It tends to have the opposite effect than is intended.

Just sayin’.

Homework shouldn't exist in the first place.

And I’m kind of a teacher.. or was.. or something. Close enough, anyway.

But if I know public school teachers...

I know that 90% of them refuse to do any work beyond standing in front of the class and writing on the board. Because they work so hard. Not like those lazy steelworkers.

That's the way I feel

I’m changing my registration to San Jose in May when my license expires, and sadly, that means I’m voting in a pretty safely blue district, so my vote there has very little impact on the House. I can send my choice of representative to support my candidate’s agenda, but control is decided in the 434 OTHER districts.

Very true.

But still, if people actually took an interest in what their government did, and we had 90%+ voter turnout rate, direct democracy would be the ideal situation, being as it would completely eliminate the need for representatives.

I see your point

But considering we seem to struggle with 40% turnout, and the sheer size and scale of the US Economy, I WANT a Republic. I think we need a class of professional politician dealing with the complex issues of government. I’m fairly distrustful of corporations, and I rely on Government to be the bulwark preventing them from exercising undue influence and power (naive, I know, as Government is far too often an instrument of corporate interests), and so I want people working full time on this stuff. I don’t think any population, no matter how well educated and engaged, is capable of that type of self-governance.

Question

When you watch a Sharks game, what is a CONSISTENT issue with their offense that you see? Good times or bad, its usually there.

The Sharks are built to play a very up-tempo posession offense

When the team is not skating and not covering as much ice as possible, they stagnate.

That’s my biggest issue with the team.

That can be legit. There’s a slight hook, and the player dives to sell the call. It discourages embellishment. Dunno why they never call it just diving straight up, though.

That is the exact same way the Preds game ended.. with Chicago getting a bench minor for too many men with the goalie pulled.

Er..

Not with the goalie pulled. But same penalty, same point in the game.

Alright, people. Good two points. Not the greatest win, but it counts.

See you all after the All-Star break. Remember to tip your waitress. Goodnight.

That episode is probably the most disturbing episode I have ever seen since “Party of One.” Even though depressed Pinkie/Pinkamena did lose her mind in “Party of One”, she was still one of my favorite characters due to her wacky sense of humor.

I’m trying to figure out what a general sports columnist like Ray Ratto or Steve Purdy offers any more, because there is literally no reason for them to get published. They clearly don’t know anything about the sports they cover in any depth, and apparently (despite enviable access to the locker rooms and front office) don’t care to learn.
