I finally made it to my first game of the year last night (albeit a pre-season game) and I realized that, come next Saturday, I’m gonna be jumping on that roller coaster that is the San Jose Sharks National Hockey League Campaign for 2011 through 2012. Things are gonna be different this year:
Full season tickets: [...]
Okay so I know I said I’d post about this last week but I got busy and just could not find the time to write. But I’m here now and wanted to continue on with my experience as a *new* full season ticket holder. A few days before the first pre-season game the San Jose [...]
I’ve been a partial season ticket holder to the San Jose Sharks going on my (I think) 4th season now. It’s been a great way to get regular tickets to the games, have access to tickets to one game per round in the playoffs, and generally feel like you’re part of the franchise instead of [...]
It has been way too long since I’ve last written anything. Being a part-time blogger means that my paying gig – also known as ‘My Job’ – has a direct effect on my ability to post. Lately it has eaten up so much of my extra time that writing on a regular basis [...]
Sunday morning my friend was driving down to the South of Market area in San Francisco. There’s an intersection where, on one side, you have AT&T Park – home of the San Francisco Giants. On the other side you have the CalTrain train station. My friend noted that a group of Giants [...]

It was Tuesday, April 22 2008. It was the first time in San Jose Sharks history that they hosted a playoff Game 7 at home. It was against the Calgary Flames and the Sharks, although winning by a final of 5-3, put up 4 goals in the second period to enter the second [...]
A week ago I wrote that history was repeating itself - the San Jose Sharks were meeting the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Semi-Finals for the second year in a row. The post was titled ‘It Is The Red Wings…Again’. Well as you all know it’s EXACTLY the same thing again. [...]
I have to pick a side. If I don’t then what’s the point of watching sports? And when picking a side I have four buckets to choose from – The San Jose Sharks (Bucket 1), teams I hate (Bucket 2), teams that don’t bother me (Bucket 3) and teams I don’t care about [...]
