BoC Gameday -- SBN Interactive: Drinking with Spade & Plank tonight!

San Jose Sharks (15-5-4, 1st in west) at Anaheim Ducks (7-10-3, 15th in west), 7 pm
Fear The Fin or Anaheim Calling, you figure out which is which.

Top-ranked Sharks.  Bottom-ranked Ducks.  Sound familiar?

Sharkphobia_medium
I can make fun of the Sharks from anywhere in the standings, apparently.

Of course, the spirit of this cartoon probably has it backwards -- it's not really that the Sharks played poorly against bottom-ranked Ducks; it's more that the Ducks have played up to top-seeded competition, or at least they once did.  And I don't know if the Sharks will escape my web mockery no matter how successful they play -- not only are they the most recent team that Anaheim has knocked out of the playoffs, it looks as if they'll retain that title for another year at least.

Then again, who knows?  The last time Spade and I went to a Ducks-Sharks regular season game, the Ducks lost a close one, I declared our season dead, and then the Ducks went on to nearly win out the remainder of their regular season schedule.

In that same spirit, I suppose, Spade and I are meeting up pre-game tonight with the notorious Mr. Plank and some of his FTF cohorts at Danny K's pool bar in Anaheim (here's Spade's rendition of our first meeting in April).  Feel free to stop in and say hello -- I'll be the dude in the lucky green shirt:

Luckyshirt_medium
0-2 this season, but whatever. I'm stubborn.

As for the game, I really have no idea where in the upper deck we're sitting, but hopefully we'll have a good view of Mike V's seats.

Prediction: Even though all indications are that he's thousands of miles away, more than one person offers a "Shut the fuck up" towards poor James O'Brien.  Sorry, O'B -- it's tradition now.  Also, Ducks lose a close one; I declare the season dead.

Go Ducks.

i took it easy last nite (one 32 ounce of bud ice) to make sure im primed for today…..lets hope sleek we dont lose 1-0 like last time and its more like the other sharks-ducks game me and obrien went to..although i remember none of it…our only solace for today is we seem to play up to compitetion…in detriot we kept up for awhile until we got stupid…so might be some sort of game…i think im going beer this time so i can remember the game and not freak sk out lol…see u guys there early…go ducks!!! is anyone suppose to come back today? carter? im hoping someone can bump calder…also if the whiz is still out does that mean eminger is gonna play? fuuuuuck

me and Brendan Mikkelson have a bromance happening...i hold his penis while he pees

I heard somewhere that Wisniewski and Koivu were hoping to play tonight — but who knows?

Eminger’s also got some back problem that kept him out of last game, so I don’t know if he can go, but I don’t think the Ducks recalled any defensemen — we’re likely playing with 5 1/2 or less blueliners tonight.

The only thing I’ve seen so far is that everyone is a big fat “maybe” except for Carter, who is a definite “no”.

True — I mean, even aside from Anaheim owning two more first-rounders for next year than the Leafs, I’m quite glad I root for a team where tickets are available for when I want to go to a game. I’d never get close to Row B in Toronto.

So I was thinking about posing this question in the post, but chickened out:

Do Sharks fans really want the Ducks out of the playoff picture? Yes, there’s satisfaction in watching Anaheim futility, but would you rather have another playoff matchup and get more direct revenge?

Because direct elimination does make for some sweet memories, I can vouch for that.

I can’t speak for other fans … but let’s just say I wouldn’t be totally unhappy if they missed the playoffs this season, and next season we kicked them out … :)

If we somehow managed to win the cup

By going through Nashville, St. Louis, Columbus and Ottawa I wouldn’t care. We’d have a cup.

I don’t want the Ducks in the playoffs, I’m perfectly capable of laughing from afar.

All that said, they have a cup, I only imagine one. I don’t talk crap to Ducks fans, I enjoy their misery, but that’s about all I can do.

I think video tributes to players that we traded last year contribute to our undoing. Consider the Chris Kunitz video tribute against Pittsburgh. Tonight, we’ll see if they will do one for Kent Huskins (I’ll be stunned if they do), and we’ll have future tests when the Red Wings (Brad May) and Canadiens (Travis Moen) come to town.

Well, the Sharks opened the season in Anaheim, but I don’t remember if there was a Huskins tribute then or not.

Hopefully for the Red Wings they make a “Thanks, Brad May / Screw off, Bertuzzi” dual-message video. With maybe even a “Hi, Miller” ending.

thats about accurate…I was pretty much the lone duck representative after the game…except for some drunk red-headed ducks fan..but he doesnt count cuz i didnt know him…things were blurry after the 4th patron shot…probally the funniest thing that happened was almost choking on that one…taking a shot with plank..evil duck and his brother…i remember thinking where do I shoot this throw up if i had to..and thought planks jersey would have been a great destination….would have been worth the punch in the face from plank I would have gotten I thought

a lot of shit talking was done..and a cup reference was brought up

as far as the game….damn sucked losing like that..i wish i had remember more but..i dont..i think i remember we were bottle up for the most part..i remember i was frustrated about our play..and to the best of my knowledge i didnt make a douche of myself by grabbing someones ass well they walked by to get to there seat…or curse too loud…but well have to let sk answer for that

I think you considered grabbing their asses. You definitely participated in some shit talking though. OH, and I think I had to remind you like 5 times that it was the 3rd period. haha!!

Did you remember the guy who was in the section next to us? He was pretty wasted and came up to ask the guys next to us if they were actually from San Jose, only to then reveal he actually was from Indio! LOL! After the game, that same guy got into a fight with a Ducks fan – but the best part was hearing him get chewed the fuck out by his girlfriend in front of EVERYONE. Classic.

Spade was a lot of fun, and it was good to meet Earl (for more than 2 seconds) – who was equally awesome.

Yeah, sorry I didn’t make it for anything afterwards — I was a mess. That third period I had a solid stomach battle between Guinness & tequila, and nobody really wins when that happens. Still alive, though — not so for the Ducks’ season, though.

Also, Ducks lose a close one; I declare the season dead.

Fulfilled.

BTW, not sure I’m going to have a gameday today — I may put up a quick placeholder, but my sister’s staying over this Thanksgiving week, and I may not get much computer time, at least today.
