Sharks Gameday: Black Jerseys, Huh?

So, you may have heard there's this little thing called, erm, BlackArmor debuting against the Caps on Saturday night. It's black (duh) and not a heck of a lot different from the old black jerseys. Guess those early reports were wrong.

(The good news? There's not a Seagate logo to be found. Fortunately, Euro-style sponsorships haven't crept into the league as some had feared.)

Still, you guys know that I'm just a teeny tiny bit superstitious. The old black jerseys were seemingly cursed, at least for the first few seasons. I don't have specific numbers but I believe that the team's record when wearing them was roughly 0-19573893-2. They did eventually start winning with the black jerseys on, so whatever curse they had was apparently shaken off.

History does tend to repeat itself though, and with the Sharks wearing the new duds on consecutive nights (Caps and Wednesday night against the Blackhawks), I say this: if you lose both games, burn them. Burn them all and never speak of them again.

Oh yeah, and some dudes named Alexander Something-or-other are going to be skating. Fingers crossed that Jose Theodore will be in net. What are the odds of a Donald Brashear/Jody Shelley fight -- and what's the over-under on number of punches Shelley actually gets in before Brashear takes over?

Some of us weren't mentioning the curse of the black jerseys because we didn't want to see it repeated.
If they lose tomorrow, I'm blaming you.

Sharks are slaughtering Washington. Safe to say the curse is DEAD DEAD DEAD.

The Blackhawks game this Wed will definitely be a tough one. Simply a question of who wants it more.

So sold on the new 3rd jerseys. Very slick.

Sharks started off a bit sloppy, but eventually got things together. Ovechkin should've spent more time trying to get shots on net than passing the puck to Patrick Mraleau and hitting Douglas Murray.

The 3rd jersey is very sick.
