Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Sharks Gameday: Altitude Sickness

Photo

"For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty,

many souls must be trampled."

 -Hunter S. Thompson



Star-divide

Game two was like those dreams I used to have when I snorted NyQuil. I only remember bits and pieces, but I think somebody scored a goal off of a throat or something? And wasn't Nabokov playing goalie nude? I'm almost certain of that.

The ending is a little clearer in my memory: Rob Blake pulled out a machete and chopped T.J. Galliardi into pieces, then Adam Foote got a penalty for baking a cake, and finally Devin Setoguchi scored and fireworks shot out of his dick. I think.

Anyways! I think plenty has been said about the chaos and insanity that was Friday night's game, so let's focus on the future. The Sharks skate into the world's largest Pepsi can tonight at 6:30, hoping to build off of the incredible emotion of their win. Although it was only a one goal win, you've got to think the Avalanche were pissed with their performance. They were badly out-shot and gave up the lead FIVE SEPARATE TIMES. Is that a record? I can't figure out what the hell to put into Google to find that out. Regardless, the Avalanche will definitely be looking to clamp down defensively.

How much can or should the Sharks try to change their game? They won, they showed incredible determination to keep clawing their way back into it, they got a ton of shots, and they dominated physically. However, there were some glaring defensive breakdowns (I'm looking at you, Douglas Murray) and Nabokov looked stunned for a large portion of the game. Since Nabby got his game back in the overtime, I'm not really concerned there. And since the defense did limit the Avs' shots so much throughout the game, that's probably going to be okay too. Barring any more freaky bounces or hockey-god wrath, the Sharks should be able to put up another win tonight.

To finish up here, I went to all the trouble of determining the average height and weight of the players in game two and then the stats aren't really notable one way or the other. I hate it when that happens. Well, if you're interested, here it is:

 

Sharks

Average Height - 6 ft 1 and 1/3 inches

Average Weight - 206 lbs

Average Age - 28.7 years

Avalanche

Average Height - 6 ft and 1/3 inches

Average Weight - 199 lbs

Average Age - 26.4 years

 

Yeah whatever, that was a waste of time. I should have just made a cartoon.

 

The top line looked much better in game two than game one, despite their lack of goals. Thornton had a sweet pass and Heatley and Marleau continued to be just on the edge of putting on in the net. I think tonight's the night when the big three show up big time, and I can't wait to see it.

Prediction: Sharks win 3-1, goals by Setoguchi, Marleau, and Heatley. Rob Blake sneezes and Avalanche fans piss themselves and call for his execution.

I found this blog post from the Denver Post amusing. It says the Sharks didn’t care much for the hit on Galiardi. Apparently Galiardi didn’t either:

"I shouldn’t have brought the puck across the middle in the first place," Galiardi said. "It was kind of uncharacteristic. I kind of lost it in my skates and all I remember is getting up and I didn’t have a helmet on.

As far as the lack of a penalty on the play, Galiardi said, "I’m a 21-year-old guy and it’s my first playoffs. I’ll let the officials do their job out there."

It’s weird how making a few key saves with the game on the line can be reassuring, but it is. The thing is, Nabby doesn’t need to be spectacular for the Sharks to win, and I’m confident he’ll be good enough.

Oh, he doesn’t need to be spectacular, but he doesn’t need to be awful either. Sharks and Avs have been tied eight times this series and seven of those times the Avs broke the tie. Five of those times it took them less than three shots to do so.

Certainly, I’m conveniently leaving out things like breakaways, shitty throat bounces, whatever — but so far, he’s gotta be the scariest factor.

He’s got a Cup though, if you insist on comparing those two.

It’s lovely not having any ties this postseason. Such an enjoyable bloodbath. But go sharkies anyway. And cyotes for that matter.

Well, technically, there hasn’t been a tie for years. Goddamn shootout circus show.

What’s crazy is that Nabokov has as many second-period saves today as he did last game: one.

Boyle made me want to cry, he went to throw his stick but stopped and just hung his head in defeat. I think he’s going to kill himself.

That was seriously one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.

I think I have mine all planned out already … go to the train tracks where it had a structure overhead that the train needs to go under … set it up with a noose and chair … take a bunch of pills that will do the job, get on the chair, put the noose around my neck and kick out the chair and time this all with the train coming … this way I’m guaranteed of death

just need to figure out how to get a shotgun in this mix as well

Maybe install a switch on the train track and connect it to the shotgun trigger so that it shoots when the train comes?

by Malurous on Apr 19, 2010 7:40 AM PDT up reply actions  

just aim for the passenger side of the train, so you got hit by “shotgun”.
