Sharks Gameday: Another Fact

Detroit Red Wings (26-19-10) at San Jose Sharks (36-10-9), 7:30 PM PST

Patrick Marleau was going to help me with my Gameday post for tonight's Red Wings game but he started typing with just his right forefinger. When I got frustrated, he offered a nervous giggle and started playing with the height adjustment on his chair. Instead of finishing our Gameday post, I left.

(In other words, work has been crazy today. Sorry about the short post, but feel free to leave more Patrick Marleau Facts in the comments.)

The Red Wing I'd like on my team: As much as Tomas Holmstrom bugs the crap out of me, I desperately want Ryane Clowe to play like him. So I'd take Holmstrom, extract some DNA samples, then infuse them into Clowe.

Predictions: Sharks 3, Wings 2. Goals by Pavelski and Marleau (two, one awkward and one not so awkward).

Plankdude’s prediction:

Sharks win 3-2. Goals by Clowe, Marleau, and Pavelski.

So you two agree on the score and nearly agree who scores each of the 3. Makes me wonder if you are pulling names from the same hat.

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

I have no faith in Ryane Clowe. That’s the difference. ;)

Go Sharks! I officially hate myself now.

For the first time in the history of BoC, Kings, Ducks, and Sharks are all pulling for a victory. That sucks.

For the Ducks, doesn’t it just really suck to know that your chance of making the playoffs may ride on the Sharks, the one team who doesn’t give a shit to help you out?

Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.

Holy Fucking Shit, Guys

I just got the Sharks yearbook in the mail.

The players model Sharks shirts and coats and stuff.

You can guess where the awkwardness comes in. I’ll have to scan some of this.

Marleau in the Sharks-themed smoking jacket, I’d guess.

I have a feeling that Patty missed his calling as the no. 1 model for Sears catalog.

I just realized why both Cam Fowler and Emerson Etem dropped so far in the draft...

Just look at the shirts those two are wearing.
