Sharks Gameday: Let's Hurt Somebody
Hey, everything sucks right now.
Well, okay, not everything. There are some bright spots, if one is inclined to look for them. If one were so inclined, one could point to the strong return of Antti Niemi from injury, the quality play of Thomas Greiss, the impressive contributions of Brent Burns, the Sharks' league-leading 40.5 shots per game, or their second-best 23.5 shots against per game. All of these things could be the focus of an optimistic, sunny-side-up article, if one decided to write such a thing.
But this one (me) says screw all that.
I'm not happy with losing. I can rationalize it and keep it in perspective and all that garbage, but it's not fun at all. You know what's fun? When the Sharks beat the hell out of a team. When they score seemingly at will, get goalies pulled, and put together dazzling highlight-reel plays. That's what I want. Right now.
I want the Sharks to hurt the New Jersey Devils. I want the Devils beaten and broken beyond recognition. I want the New Jersey fans watching at home to change the channel out of shame, and I want the fans in the arena to consider giving up on hockey forever.
I want the Sharks to crush their opponents into a fine white powder. Then I want them to snort the power, and to use the unholy high given to them by the broken dreams of their foes to keep going at top speed, steamrollering over everyone who tries to stand in their way.
That's all I want. Is that too much to ask?
Fine, I'll settle for a win. Any win.
But the snorting/steamrollering thing would be awesome.
Prediction: Sharks win 5-3, with goals from Thornton, Marleau, Pavelski, Couture, and Clowe.
After the jump, misogyny.
You know what's more fun to talk about than how the Sharks keep losing? My 78th-favorite movie of all time, In the Company of Men.
I'm not going to try to describe the film here. If you like the clip below, and/or if you hate most people, then you should probably check the movie out.
Warning: Very very very strong language.

It’s early, no reason to panic, we’ll be fine, its only october, etc…
I understand all of that but I’m completely with you:
“I want the Sharks to hurt the New Jersey Devils. I want the Devils beaten and broken beyond recognition. I want the New Jersey fans watching at home to change the channel out of shame, and I want the fans in the arena to consider giving up on hockey forever.”
Lets kill someone. Fuck the Devils.

GO SHARKS!
Has anyone (and yeah it could be me if I was so inclined) done a comparison with how the Sharks are starting off this season compared to last season? Someone mentioned to me that they started out 1-3 just like now – and we know they made it far. But I didn’t confirm that myself.
I’m not worried. I see it as giving the less advantaged teams a chance before we take our rightful place.
GO SHARKS!

Hey Admiral Sleek.
I was perusing the LA Times today and came across this little nugget of interest. Had you heard about that project before? I’m curious to see what develops.

I hadn’t heard about it before, but considering Hollywood’s unwillingness for new ideas, not too surprising, I guess.
Orloff declined to elaborate on the project and would not specify whether the new film would update the original TV series or take off from Moore’s universe.
I sure hope so — that deserves another chapter, even if its in the middle of other storylines. And I want to see the same Saul Tigh for sure. :)

I don’t know how they’d continue from Moore’s universe.
I don’t have much of an interest in going back and seeing something that supposedly happened at some point during the timeline. I didn’t particularly care for Razor and I never saw The Plan but heard it was pretty “meh”

Is Joe Thornton A Hall Of Famer? Puck Daddy Commenters Discuss:
HELL NO… What has he won? Nothing… He’s A good player with great size! Nothing more than that!
He’s definitely a hall of famer. Joe needs to go to a team that has contention of winning the cup. ie Detroit or Vancouver. The Sharks this year aren’t the same without Heatley and Rob Blake.
“At 1,000 games, how do you assess Joe Thornton’s career?”
Meh.
hall of famer, RARE great player. a lot of great players never won a cup in hockey which is a TEAM sport.
Wait, how did that one get here…
This is a joke. The answer is NO NO NO. Jumbo Joe has consistantly been a big game flop. It’s like saying Luongo is a HOFer, just a joke. Just because you put up some numbers doesn’t put you in the conversation.
That’s better.
Keep losing Guppies!!! How about an ohfer on this six game roadie!!!
Thornton should still be suspended until David Perron can play again.
jumbo joe is a gaylord

I highly dislike the Sharks schedule. This is the fifth game in a row I will not see live. I’ve seen more Leafs, Kings, and JETS games live than Sharks. And I just noticed that I won’t be able to see tomorrow’s game live either.
Then, on top of that, I’m having nightmares of last January now and Wilson’s comments that the rush to actually get into the playoffs and get a good seed after that losing streak ended up costing us in the playoffs. Ugh.
You’re worried way too soon. We’ve only played a few games in a long season. They are going to get their groove with plenty of time for us to laugh at the rest of the Pacific Division.
GO SHARKS!

I didn’t catch it exactly, but the radio guy was saying something about how in each (or almost all) of the Sharks losses the opposing goalie has been the number one star of the game.
Owen Nolan saw my cat.

The opposing goalie had a .938 save percentage in the Sharks’ first 4 games this season. Hedburg has a .943 save percentage so far tonight.
If you didn’t include the Phoenix game, the opposing goalie has had a .964 save percentage.
