BoC Gameday: Dark City

(Today's gameday is a collaborative effort from Rudy and Meg).
Regarding the Kings:
The Kings changed things up a little bit in the game against Pittsburgh, giving Anze Kopitar an easy match-up against Pittsburgh's 3rd line while Mike Richards handled Evgeni Malkin and Jarret Stoll took on Jordan Staal (presumably in an attempt to kill poor Bob Miller). It worked in that Kopitar's line produced 2 goals and looked dominant... but Staal's line got a goal and Stoll's line ended up taking 2 penalties while defending. So it was good and bad.
Tonight, I expect the Sharks to look for a Thornton-Kopitar match-up while the Kings will hope to get Richards out against Logan Couture. Neither coach is all that interested in matching lines so I expect we'll see a consistent look all night. Should be a fun game! These two teams are awfully similar so it should be interesting to watch.
Regarding the Sharks:
Against the Penguins the Sharks had a really bad start but then came back to win the game with a strong finish. Against Nashville it was pretty much the opposite. The Sharks need to start putting together some complete games.
The team has tried out some line shuffling recently, and that may continue after the way the game against Nashville ended. Mixing things up might not be the best idea though, because a lot of the mistakes and miscues that have caused problems for the Sharks in the last few games are exactly the types of errors that can be reduced when guys on a line or a defense pairing get to know each other better and develop some chemistry.
Ray Ratto was on the Sharks radio broadcast between the second and third periods last game, talking to Jamie Baker. Both of them came across like fools, and it was awful radio. I will give Ratto credit for one thing he said though: when Baker asked him if he thought the Sharks looked like Stanley Cup contenders he said "Not yet." He explained that they still look a bit disorganized and unsure at times, and I think that's fair. The regular season is long, and the Sharks will have plenty of time to find their rhythm.
The rest of today's gameday is all about the movie Dark City.
Dark City is my 70th-favorite movie of all time. Rudy likes it too.
If you didn't see the movie or don't remember it at all, don't worry! Here is a brief summary, with some very slight modifications so it's about Teemu Selanne:
Duck City
Teemu Selanne's life has become a nightmare. He awakes on a strange team but can't remember how he got there. He soon finds that he has the incredible ability to score goals, an ability none of his teammates share.
Teemu travels around the city trying to solve the mystery of his past. His memories are jumbled and contradictory. He thinks he remembers retiring. He remembers playing for a team called the Jets a long time ago - but not the Jets that exist today. Nothing makes any sense.
He tries to get his teammates to wake up to the horror of their reality. He slaps Corey Perry over and over, he throws water in Getzlaf's face. Selanne screams at them to "Remember to play defense! Remember to score goals! And only pass to people on your own team!"
But it's all hopeless. There is a sinister force behind the scenes, working against Teemu:
To find out the exciting conclusion, go rent the movie!
A lot of people forget about Dark City because The Matrix has a very similar plot and came out about a year later. On that note, here is a list of popular things and other similar things that are pretty much as good that they overshadow:
Popular thing - Less popular but very similar thing that is just about as good
Matrix- Dark City
Ocean's Eleven- Confidence
Pulp Fiction- The Killing
Band of Brothers- Generation Kill
Any Guy Ritchie film- I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Survivor- The Amazing Race
Dark City- Equilibrium (Whoa...)
Super Troopers- Club Dread
Megan Fox- Bree Conden
Phillip Seymour Hoffman- Paul Giammatti
Robert De Niro- Gene Hackman
Justin Timberlake- Nick Lachey
Nicole Kidman- Naomi Watts
Kim Kardashian- Kourtney Kardashian
LA Dodgers- LA Galaxy
In 'n Out- Five Guys
Corgis- Pharaoh Hounds
Dogs in clothes- Dogs without collars
Golf- Disc Golf
Express- H&M
It's Always Sunny- Party Down
Metallica- Motorhead
Rudy- Meg (Editor's note: Hey!)
Earl Sleek- My balls
Marilyn Manson's Persona- Marilyn Manson's Music
blink-182- Boxcar Racer
Rick Nash- Tomas Vanek
Shea Weber- Ryan Suter
Willie Mitchell- Marc-Edouard Vlasic
Ryan Getzlaf- Nicklas Backstrom
Pekka Rinne- Niklas Backstrom
Dustin Penner- A Rake
Brothers- Teammates
Anaheim Ducks- Anaheim Ice's Junior Puckaneers
Brian Wilson- Any other unfunny asshole that isn't on TV
That's all for now.
Go Sharks!
Prediction: Sharks win 4-3 in OT, with the winning goal from Joe Thornton.

The dump I took this morning knows more about hockey than Ratto.
The '05-06, '06-07', and '07-'08 Sharks were not ever good enough to win the Cup. They were just good enough to lose in the 2nd round. That's not choking people!
That will change once Ratto eats it.

Yeah, Spade and I discussed “A Perfect Host” at length in his Fraser article. This is a great article, Meg. Dark City is an awesome movie. And to contribute to your list:
X-Files – Torchwood: Miracle Day
I’m home from work today on a sick day, and I’ve powered through 5 episodes of Torchwood: Miracle Day. It’s the best season so far, and much better than the first 2 seasons.
Enjoy the game tonight.

That was me who recommended 13 Assasians. I think it was the same day we discussed A Perfect Host. Glad you liked it – that movie is fucking badass!
Torchwood is a spin-off from (don’t laugh) Dr. Who. I started watching at season 3 of Torchwood and I’m watching season 4 today. Season 4 is great! Seasons 1 and 2 are skippable – they have the same cheese factor as Dr. Who.
All seasons are available on Netflix.

Ray Ratto...braying jackass
Ratto attempts to disguise his lack of knowledge about and interest in hockey by always disagreeing with anything positive. He fancies himself a hard-nosed realist, but he doesn’t know jack, nor does he know shit.
Just watch him. Anytime someone makes any sort of positive statement Ratto will come in with some bullshit disagreement or qualification, not based on anything specific, but by general impressions and references to other sports.

@shampeon
Regarding the line shuffling:
I’m not totally sold on the Couture-Thornton-Pavelski line. I don’t know if it’s wise to put our top 3 (arguably) forwards on the same line given that many teams have a defensive “shut-down” line. Given Havlat’s recent play I wouldn’t mind giving him a shot to play with Thornton and Pavelski. I could also see Clowe moving up, but he does seem to enjoy being Couture’s bodyguard so maybe they should stay together. I also feel that McGinn could probably fit with any line, since he has enough energy to make up for his limited offensive skills. I think Handzus and Mitchell are starting to develop some chemistry too, so I think they should be the bedrock of the 3rd line. Overall I think each line has 2 players who definitely belong, but that 3rd slot is up for grabs on each line:
1:Thornton-Pavelski
2:Couture-Clowe
3.Handzus-Mitchell
4.Desjardins-Murray
Marleau
I would also like to see what happens if we drop Marleau to the 3rd line. I’m not saying he’s earned a demotion, I just think there are diminishing returns with having a 2nd and then a 3rd star player on one line. Given that Marleau can create so much offense with his speed and shot, he may be much more valuable to us playing on the 3rd line going up against inferior defenders. To offset this move we could try someone like McGinn on the 2nd or even 1st line.
I think the Penner trade has worked out great.

Get well wishes to Ducks’ George Parros, who had laser eye surgery after being struck by deflected puck last week. Good guy, popular player
Indications are that he’s out 4 weeks. I hope his mustache is still growing OK…
I’m so glad they do mustache baselines now for all players for comparison after mustache trauma.

The PK is when we let the other team score a goal, right?

I think the PK could be better if the Sharks just try to really believe in themselves.

Never made one before – not sure the boys will like it. For myself I like it. But for the boys, I make pumpkin pies and cheesecakes (all kinds). Oh and they love cookies.
And they hate cakes.

I’ve made huckleberry cheesecake, brown-sugar cheesecake (which is to die for), citrus cheesecake – those are our three faves. Not a caramel one since my youngest doesn’t like caramel.
I’ve made others as well, but the three above more than others.

Would you mind if I just randomly showed up at your house? I’ll make sure it’s a Sharks gameday and I’ll bring whatever you like to drink.
haha! the boys don’t take too kindly to sharing their food :)
the first thing they do when they get home on Sundays is go thru the kitchen to see what I’m cooking for dinners that week, then each day they argue over who gets dinner first.

Folks at FTF were saying the same thing tonight. They were saying Hahn and Remenda have been too snarky lately.

True
At least if I was a Red Wing fan I’d probably be okay with Mickey. I can’t imagine any fan base that would want to listen to Hayward.

When was the last time you remember playing a game during the daytime?
Owen Nolan saw my cat.

The former Behind the Net site has a comment on the Sharks PK stats.
I was just settling down to watch the Sharks-Kings game tonight and CSN Bay Area started in on the Sharks because they’re “29th in the league on the penalty-kill.” Now you know and I know that penalty-kill percentage in the early part of the season is basically meaningless, but does anyone else know that?

Tonight, I expect the Sharks to look for a Thornton-Kopitar match-up while the Kings will hope to get Richards out against Logan Couture. Neither coach is all that interested in matching lines so I expect we’ll see a consistent look all night.
Does anyone know off-hand how this worked out? I know the lines were a bit mixed up for the Sharks, but I’m interested in which lines played against each other and how that worked out.

I wanna say that i saw Kopitar against Marleau a lot last night, but I wasn’t paying close attention. It’s possible that was just one or two shifts.
