Sharks Gameday: Southie Trash





Al Stalock, owner and proprietor of Stalock's Locks*, got hurt in a scrum in a Worcester game.

Uh oh.

That means that Niemi should start today against the Bruins, as Antero Niittymaki keeps re-injuring himself. Some kid named Carter Hutton will be the backup.

This brings us to today's real question: which is a better modern Boston crime movie: The Departed or The Town?

Prediction: Sharks win 4-2, with goals from Ben Eager, Kyle Wellwood, Patrick Marleau, and Logan Couture triumphantly returning from his battle with the flu.

In conclusion The Departed is probably a better film, but you could make a strong argument for The Town.

Get well soon, Stalock.

I agree that the WCE line was the best line out there today. I just wrote on FTF that Logan Couture makes ANY line better. No matter who he plays on a line with, they flourish with him. Last time I said that was in 2005- Joe Thornton.
