Sharks Gameday: Memories

San Jose Sharks (39-12-9) at Detroit Red Wings (27-21-11), 4:30 PM PST

Sorry for the lack of Gamedays this week. If you've been keeping up on From The Rink, you can see that I've been busy. That, coupled with the whole "writing that pays the bills" thing going nuts, has sucked away my time for the good ol BoC. And tonight's Gameday isn't much better -- it IS related to the Sharks/Red Wings match up, but no real analysis for you guys. Just this link (I can't embed the video); it is by far the greatest moment in Sharks/Red Wings history, and quite possibly the greatest incident to ever involve a team mascot.

If Wild Wing burned for more than a few seconds, that MIGHT have topped this moment. But alas, this is the one championship Sharks fans can claim that Ducks fans don't have.

The Red Wing I'd like on my team: Can I repeat my pick from the last Sharks/Wings Gameday? I'd still pick Holmstrom, though mostly for having him work with Ryane Clowe in practice about getting his butt effectively in the crease so he can earn that fat contract.

Prediction: Sharks 3, Wings 2. Goals by non-Olympians -- Malhotra, Clowe, and Blake.

That is fucking awesome — they should have left him hanging there throughout a game, just to scare opposing shooters.

And way to stay in character — I bet he won whatever the Masterton Trophy is called for mascots that season.

Knew what it was before I clicked on it. I tried to think of a Bailey moment where he wasn’t awesome but then I remembered one doesn’t exist.

Bailey’s always doing the safe stunts — carwashes and hamburgers. He’s like the Sean O’Donnell of mascots.

I don’t care if it was safe, that commercial was epic.

Ohh! You guys!

Should have followed it up with some sort of over-glamorized headline:

Some BoC news today. From Bob McKenzie:

Dallas claims Brandon Segal on waivers from LA.

That would be great if he was claimed by A&E to be on that cop show with Steven Seagal.

What’s going on with Patrick Marleau’s eyebrow in that picture? It looks like a tilde.

It’s like a bell curve with the middle neatly erased.
