San Jose Sharks Are Finally In The Game
It is my uneducated, irrelevant opinion that the San Jose Sharks are finally into the playoffs. That doesn’t mean ‘physically’ in the playoffs - we’ve been there all along, but mentally in the game. Here are the budding symptoms as I see them…
‘Bouncebackablity’ - Remember the goal off Rob Blakes’ skate? Remember [...]
San Jose Sharks Versus “Hot” Wings
Okay I admit it, rockandrollnobody was correct, I was hoping the San Jose Sharks would not have to play the Detroit Red Wings in the second round of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it happened anyway. It’s not really that we have to face the Red Wings but more about how we ended [...]
Are Sharks Fans Resorting To Desperate Tactics?
Today I was listening to XM Radio’s ‘Power Play’, co-hosted by Scott Laughlin and Phil Esposito, when I heard the most unintentionally hilarious caller. First please understand that ‘Power Play’ is broadcast live from Wayne Gretzky’s restaurant in Toronto and you can quite often hear the ambient background sounds typical of a dining establishment. [...]
San Jose Sharks First In The West To The Second Round
During the two day lull between the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs there were a lot of musings about various topics on XM Radio’s NHL Home Ice. One topic of discussion was centered around who might be this year’s playoff surprise - that one relatively unknown guy that [...]
San Jose Sharks: Redemption And Renewal
There was little doubt that Dan Boyle would try to redeem himself, the bigger question was whether or not he could do it. I’ve been told that hockey isn’t quite as structured as you might think, that action on the ice is more chaotic and reactionary than, say, the scripted plays of a football [...]
San Jose Sharks: Speechless
I just realized the irony of writing a post entitled ‘Speechless’. If in fact I really am speechless, there would be no post to write. So I’ve decided I’m not going to write ABOUT being speechless, I’m going to write WHY I’m speechless.
It seems we’ve come full circle since my last post, where [...]
San Jose Sharks Four-Peat: Down 0-1 Again
When I was a kid growing up in San Francisco there were generally two places my family would go for vacation – Hawaii and Los Angeles. One of the things that always stood out about those trips was the weather. I always thought those two places were ‘different’ because it was always hot [...]
San Jose Sharks - Once More Into The Breech
It hasn’t been easy to write about the San Jose Sharks during the push to the playoffs. It’s not for a lack of news but because any and all musings around the regular season are absolutely irrelevant. When you’re a Sharks fan and you’re staring at the playoffs you know that nothing the [...]
Vicariously Rooting For The San Jose Sharks
Converting is always a gradual process. For example after using Windows for almost two decades I’ve made the switch to Mac. The switch was gradual - it started with an iPod, then the iPhone (3 generations), then a MacBook Pro. This past weekend I finally moved all my data off my Windows [...]
San Jose Sharks: Sinking Or Sunk?
Most of you have likely seen the original interview and if not you’ve probably seen it’s reincarnation as a beer commercial. After his team did everything wrong to lose a game, when asked Jim Mora responded “Playoffs?! You kiddin’ me?! Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game.” You could replace Jim [...]
