I think Meg’s problem is that Ducks fans are laughing at the Sharks for making the playoffs without winning the Cup for a bunch of years in a row, which doesn’t make much sense to outsiders. Then again, when you make it to the Stanley Cup finals seemingly every time you actually make the playoffs, it probably does seem funny. There’s the rub.
See, this is why I only make fun of other teams for being retarded or lousy fans. Those things are timeless. That’s the charm, the charisma, the essence of Rudy-ness.*

Yeah, this is more like it. I don’t care if you guys are happy with your situation, I’m just confused. To me the obvious response to Ducks fans trash-talking about this season is to see if the Ducks’ season was any better…and it was not. Not even close.

Meg, you genius, you’ve nearly figured out exactly which season we’re gloating about.
"Ridin’ The Meat Train & Dreaming of Jack’s Johnson All Summer Long!"
http://www.battleofcali.com/
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pointing out that expectations are higher for the Sharks. Your goal can’t be to get 8 wins in the playoffs. That was my original point. Canadians are laughing at Montreal fans, because that’s how far they’ve fallen; the once great franchise is suddenly overjoyed to have 9 wins in the playoffs.
On paper, the Ducks weren’t as good as the Sharks, so we didn’t really disappoint this season. It was clear our group wasn’t going to cut it in November. You guys looked as good as you always do: same perennial favorites, an abundance of regular season success, bringing on help, dealing away more draft picks, dealing away young players. And then you couldn’t even get a one win in the third round.
If the NHL season were a race, the Ducks had the classic disappointing finish, running out of the pack and finishing out of the pack. The Sharks finished the way only the Sharks can, out in front of everybody right up until the last leg of the final lap where they inexplicably pull up lame.

I’m not trying to beat a dead horse; Meg just has a horrible comeback. It begs the question. Meg said, ‘look at the standings,’ and I said, okay, looking at the standings since the Lockout, the Sharks have always had 99 or more points and have finished 5th, 5th, 2nd, 1st, 1st in the West, but have 6, 6, 6, 2, and 8 playoff wins respectively in those years. Unless your goal was to get out of the Second Round, I don’t see how you’ve finally lived up to the hype such that you can champion your consecutive 1st place finishes. I know the Capitals aren’t saying “look at the standings” to anyone right now.
The good comeback would be to point to the scouting that Tim Burke has done or how many NHL goalies you have in the pipe, as usual, both places where the Ducks are begging for alms. ‘Look at the standings’ is laughable, because the one time the Ducks finished in the Top 3, they won the Cup. The Sharks have done it three consecutive times for 6, 2 and 8 wins. You have as many wins in your THREE top three finish seasons as we did in our ONE. We didn’t make the playoffs, but you did, as usual, and as usual, you didn’t do anything when you got there.

it’s usually a word for something we didn’t have before the spanish came, like a spoon and fork for example.

well, this part of the thread started with Mike in OC’s comment, which I think was more about Meg getting upset than Spade’s cartoon. For the record, I think “at least we made the playoffs” is a perfectly valid comeback from a fan of a team that actually does something in the playoffs, or even one that hasn’t conclusively proven it can’t, no matter how strong its team looks in the regular season.

Haha, what the fuck are you on about? I was just kidding before but if you think the Ducks actually deserved or earned a Cup over the Sharks you’re fucking dumb as hell.
I think the Ducks had the pieces to win a Cup and won it, yeah. I honestly think the Sharks have had the pieces to win the Cup at least two of the seasons since the Lockout, and they have come up WAY short. I mean, they’re already starting from first in the west with home ice advantage. How good does their team have to be in the regular season to pick up even 11 wins for the first time?

As good as they were this year. Or the year before. Or the year before. Or as good as they were in 1998. Or as good as they were in 2002. Or it doesn’t really matter how good they are in the regular season since the playoffs are pretty random.
For any one or two years, the randomness of playoff hockey is DEFINITELY a valid explanation. But Thornton didn’t get painted a playoff choker for one bad performance, and neither did the Sharks. They’ve had lineups that other teams can only dream about. Look at the teams that won three consecutive division titles. How many failed to win a Cup in that time? It’s something like the Devils in the late 90s (after winning one), and the Capitals and the Sharks this year? It’s not luck to capitalize on being good.

Well, I meant ‘upset’ in the same context that Mike in OC used it. And for me, trash talk usually involves digs that don’t reveal glaring failings in your own team. And if you don’t find what’s happening to the Sharks funny, then I don’t know if YOU actually understand humor.

Yeah, that’s bullshit. The Sharks may have only gotten 8 wins, but I don’t see this as a loss only the Sharks can pull off.
You have the Devils who got absolutely destroyed by the 7th seed Flyers, who only made it in because of a shootout win against the Rangers. The 2nd in the East Devils didn’t even manage 2 wins in the first round. Even Nashville managed that.
Then you have the run away president trophy winning Capitals, favorites to go to the finals, eat shit against Halak after being up 3-1. Say what you want about Sharks vs. Ducks last year, we never looked like we would win that series, the Capitals had it all but wrapped up and suddenly forgot how to score goals.
If that wasn’t enough, the Bruins were up 3-0 on the Devils and then proceeded to get shut down by Boucher and Lieghton. Two goalies that are and probably always will be back up goalies.
“only the way the Sharks can”. What a load of horse shit, teams have been doing this for years. The Devils, Caps, Sens, Leafs, Kings, Blues, Nucks the list goes on and on for teams that do well in the regular season and then blow up in the playoffs. It’s like only 1 team can win and any team can get hot at a given time or something.
"Douglas Murray is a humongous human being." – Drew Remenda
Well, the only teams in the new divisions to win three straight division titles without winning a Cup during that time are the 94-96 Red Wings, the 97-99 Devils, the 07-10 Sharks and the 07-10 Capitals. Seeing as how the ‘97 Red Wings and the ’00 Devils won the Stanley Cup, if the ’11 Sharks or ’11 Capitals don’t win it, then yeah, they will be unique in recent history as teams that could not capitalize on being good. But I’ll amend it to “only the way the Sharks or Capitals can” if you like.

I count 7 teams that have won at least 3 division titles* in a row since 1994. That means 4 of 7 didn’t win a Cup during their division reign**. That means… something. If only I could figure out what…
*The Avs won 8 division titles in a row but went 4 division titles between their Cups in ’96 and ’01. I guess they lost their clutch during that time.
**The list: 94-96 Wings, 96-03 Avs (won Cup 96 and 01), 97-99 Devils, 99-01 Stars (won cup 99), 01-03 Wings (won Cup 02), 08-10 Capitals, 08-10 Sharks.
Uh, the Avs actually posted that streak in separate divisions so I don’t mind breaking that up, especially since those two Cup teams had different cores. And I’m counting the 06-09 Red Wings, so I guess your point is that the Red Wings went four years and the lockout without winning?
Point is, the few teams that have proven that they are good enough to win the Cup over a period of years have done it. The only glaring failure being the 97-99 Devils, who made good the next year. For a division title streak, especially in the Pacific, 16 total wins is pretty bad, luck or no luck.

Point is, the few teams that have proven that they are good enough to win the Cup over a period of years have done it.
No, because the Sharks and the Capitals haven’t yet. Neither did the mid-90s Flyers, the turn of the century Blues, the mid-ought Senators, the Hasek-era Sabres, the Iginla Flames, both iterations of the Canucks, and the current Devils. Not every good team wins a Cup.
I chose division title streaks because they’re rare and they’ve happened in very strong divisions. Those teams were great in a particular way year in and year out, and I wouldn’t argue with someone who said the Sharks had the same regular season greatness they did.
Compared to that list, the Sharks failure is peculiar. And even if you go one rung down to your off the cuff list, plenty of those teams made the Finals. The Blues won at least one Conference finals game and the Senators won three. You can’t convince me the Sharks failure isn’t special.

Right. Good teams that aren’t “great” lose in the playoffs.

Yeah, I think Louis CK once referred to it as the “chode” but ever since Jackass I prefer gooch, myself.
Nobody better quote me as saying “I prefer gooch, myself” either.

my chicks friend via facebook asked what the line is that goes from your nose down to your lips is? I jokingly told her its called the face taint. She told her daughter, cause I guess that who was really asking.
I am now not allowed to write stuff to her friends, cause I guess I write inappropriate things and it embarrasses her.
I still think its funny.

Overlapping circles, dude — It’s a sorting tool, sort of. Things guys have in common are put in the overlap section; things that separate one guy from the other get put in the non-overlap.

Yeah it’s too bad he can’t see the picture because it’s perfect.
So where the Earl circle and the Meg circle overlap it would include Battlestar, and where all three overlap it would include Civilization (and also “HUGE NERDS”).

Actually Earl and Rudy are the same size, but Rudy tends to stand about 10 feet behind people – so it’s a trick of perspective.
