San Jose Sharks second quarter highlight video

by pj48 on Jan 20, 2009 4:50 PM PST

Here is a San Jose Sharks highlight video for the second 20 games of the season to the song "Scary" by the Mad Capsule Markets. Running out of up-temp metal songs to use for videos. The highlight video for the first 20 games is up here.

The Sharks finished 14-2-4 in the second quarter, down slightly from a hot 16-1-3 start after the first 20 games. Also noted on my blog "Goals for dropped from 73 to 66 as the Sharks were held without a power play goal in 7 games, but goals against also dropped from 49 to 47 helped by a string of 26 straight penalty kills". The Sharks struggled somewhat in December, with faceoffs, scoring by the defense, and power plays dipping slightly from previous norms. Radio analyst Jamie Baker said today on Vancouver's Team 1040AM that it was also mental fatigue, and that any team would have trouble keeping up that dominant a pace whether they had injuries or not.

Been sidelined for 2 weeks with an illness, and while I am not 100% I am functioning well enough to order pho at a Vietnamese restaurant and well enough to operate the remote for NHL Center Ice and the NHL Network. Two necessities for modern living.

St Louis still has nightmares about Douglas Murray. Rudy, those Turco clips are for you.

Very nice!

Now if only we can do some of that against these Canucks … grrr! 3 minutes and some odd seconds left of 2nd period and still nada.

Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

So the team playing the Sharks handed it away

For the Nth time this season

Sort of. The Sharks played better for pretty much the entire game, it just took forever for a puck to find the back of the net. True, the Sharks did not play their best game, but they were still the best team on the ice last night. Those two aren’t mutually exclusive. I’ll never understand why people always think they are. Out of our four announcers, only Jamie Baker seemed to get it.

And hey, it beats having your own team hand it away for the nth time this season.

Turco kinda sucks this year. Good thing they traded away Mike Smith!

And Johan Holmqvist, and Johan Hedberg, and Dan Ellis. If you are 0-for-4 in talent evaluation on that foursome, you deserve to be fired. And if you are no longer in the organization, fire them twice.

This was too long ago to really count, but don’t forget that Manny Fernandez used to be a Stars back-up, too!
