Sharks Gameday: J.J. Abrams

From left to right: Odin, Johnny, Jason Demers, Brother Superior, and The Roofer.



 

Almost a week off between games 1 and 2, and then back to back games? Alright, whatever.

Here's the thing: I like to write my gameday posts a day or so in advance, if possible, and then make adjustments at the last minute to include the most recent scores and team news and stuff. But the Sharks are playing on a Saturday, and I'm going to be busy, so I'm not going to have time to sit down and write about the awesome victory/humiliating defeat against the Ducks on Friday night. If it were later in the season I could fake it and talk about recent trends for the Sharks, but that obviously won't work. It's still way too early to do any real analysis, and anyone who tells you different is a mad man.

It's a tough life, being a blogger.

I'll just throw a whole bunch of stuff I'm wondering about out here, and feel free to react to whatever you like in the comments:

1. Dallas isn't going to be a good team this year, are they? That can't possibly be true.

2. Why aren't the Kings scoring more?

3. How many goals will Joe Pavelski score this season? Probably a lot, right?

4. At what point did the writers of Lost decide the show was no longer about a complex mystery that they were going to eventually answer and was instead about the characters and their relationships?

5. If The Rum Diary isn't very good, will I be able to handle it without hurting myself or others?

After the jump I've got some amazing photoshop work featuring Sharks in the big city.

My 80th-favorite movie of all time is Cloverfield. While writing this post I found a really good Cloverfield-style picture of some of the Sharks walking around New York last year:

Oh, wait - that doesn't really work, does it? Cause I'm pretty sure that guy on the right is Devin Setoguchi. I'll just crop him out...

5v4zd2_medium

Hmmm...still not quite right...

5v4zd2_burns_medium

Perfect.

Prediction: Sharks win 3-1, with goals from Logan Couture, Dan Boyle, and Devin Setoguchi Brent Burns.

1. Dallas isn’t going to be a good team this year, are they? That can’t possibly be true.

Don’t fret about this one. The very fact that I have Kari Lehtonen in every one of my fantasy leagues means he’s going to tumble hard. He’ll be a KHL goalie before the season ends, maybe even a defenseman. :)

I have him in 2 of my fantasy leagues. The only one I don’t have him in is this one. He’s doing alight so far, unlike Luongo…

It's really strange

because I was thinking of something like that happening during the game last night before it did.

I was like “Wow, it’s amazing no when every gets stepped on when they’re down on the ice like that.” Then like 20 minutes later it happened.

Hopefully it’s just a cut and no tendons or anything were damaged.

Not really … some are too bitter over that very issue. They know it wasn’t intentional, but they choose to be bitter and hateful over it.
