Sharks Gameday: Oh God the Pressure

Oh god oh god oh god please be amazing again Niemi please please please





I don't know if I can do this.

I'm having a hard time finding the right words here. I've already done three straight posts about the Sharks trying to eliminate the Wings. I've gotten hyped up for each game, only to have my heart ripped from my chest over and over again. I don't have much strength left.

Each of the last three games has had a lot riding on it. First there was the chance of a sweep for the Sharks. Then there was the opportunity to win it at home. Then there was the desperate desire to prevent a game seven.

Now, of course, there's the danger that this could be the final game of the year for the Sharks. A week ago this scenario was unthinkable, but now it's a reality. The Sharks have lost three games in a row against the Red Wings and now they come back to San Jose and need to win in order to move on.

Oh God, this sucks.

My stomach hurts. I'm binging and purging on hockey news and analysis. I know I'm going to hate reading these cliche'-ridden, hyperbole-laden articles filling the hockey Internet right now, but I can't stop myself.

I'm starting to sweat. My vision is fading. There's a persistent tingling in my chest.

Oh - what's this? A package arrived for me, right in the middle of putting together my article down here at BoC Headquarters!

This is highly irregular. Normally I would never let something like this interrupt my writing, but since this day is already so crazy, what could it hurt?

Maybe it will be a bomb, and opening it will kill me. That would be...bad?

Anyways, let's see what's inside. Cross you fingers, folks.

 

Why look at that! It's my pet cat Chandler, here to help me write this post!

6410_101097879903338_100000093799699_31977_3930703_n_medium

Wow, this is great!

 

Star-divide

 

Come on out of that box, Chandler. It's so good to see you!

6410_101097896570003_100000093799699_31982_604896_n_medium

So here's the plan - I'm just going to continue writing the article I was going to write before you arrived, and you'll help me by acting out what I write in interesting ways. Sound good?

  150048_171889242824201_100000093799699_572795_4030484_n_medium

Hey, don't look at me like that. It's going to be fun, I promise.

149895_171889252824200_100000093799699_572796_3002042_n_medium

Whatever Chandler. We're doing this, whether you like it or not.

Okay, let's get started.

After the Sharks' performance in game 6 on Tuesday, fans were left feeling pretty depressed.

6410_101097903236669_100000093799699_31984_3928032_n_medium

At times like this, it's only natural to feel small and alone, lost in a big scary world that you can't control.

6410_101097893236670_100000093799699_31981_2231076_n_medium

To deal with the stress, some fans turn to overeating.

148996_171889212824204_100000093799699_572793_1803179_n_medium

While others look for comfort in distractions.

6410_101098543236605_100000093799699_32000_7974011_n_medium

Some people spend their time venting their negativity on Internet hockey blogs.

150357_175849159094876_100000093799699_595685_3959505_n_medium

  While others find that they're happier if they just ignore hockey all together.

Photo_3__medium

As for the Sharks themselves, this is gut-check time.

This is the biggest game in recent Sharks' history and, fairly or not, their performance tonight will go a long way towards defining them in the minds of hockey fans and the sports media.

 The Sharks are under the gun.

Photo_5__medium

They have to play hard, and keep their eyes on the prize (or sock, whichever).

Photo_4__medium

Of course it's important to eat a good pre-game meal.

6410_101097886570004_100000093799699_31979_6935703_n_medium

And the boys need to make sure to get lots of rest.

6410_101097913236668_100000093799699_31987_6793717_n_medium

And finally, now would be a great time for a big game from Patrick Marleau.

Photo_medium

Thanks for all your help, Chandler. You did a great job.

6410_101097876570005_100000093799699_31976_2048183_n_medium

Yeah, you can go now.

If the Sharks win tonight, then they'll face the Canucks in the Western Conference Finals starting on Sunday. Hopefully San Jose will be able to learn from the mistakes they've made against Detroit that have landed them in this precarious position. If they win they will be riding a wave of confidence and triumph into the third round, and I'd love to see just how far they can go.

And if the Sharks lose? Well then the team will be branded with the label "chokers" more indelibly than they ever have been before. Regardless of the realities of this series, ignoring the fact that all but one game was decided by a single goal, and that the entire series between San Jose and Detroit has existed on the knife's-edge of luck, the Sharks will be called total failures. They will prove once and for all that they "aren't clutch," despite winning five OT games already and staging a history-making comeback against the Kings during the first round. None of their accomplishments will matter, because they'll be called "chokers" with glee until the Shark-hating peoples of the world suffocate on their own smug self-satisfaction.

But so what? Is that really so bad, in the grand scheme of things? Chandler won't care who wins or loses, that's for sure. All he wants is some yarn and some food, and he's a happy guy. Even if the Sharks lose, won't I be able to find some small amount of solace in the sight of my cat losing his mind with joy while playing with a toy, or sleeping peacefully, ignorant of the ultimately meaningless troubles that plague me? Won't that help me feel better?

No. No it won't.

Not even a little bit.

Prediction: I'm either going to die smiling and drowning in buckets of champagne or I'm going to drag a rusty straight razor across my throat. Either way, it's going to leave a mess.

I have to admit, I watched the first season or two when it was more about witty writing and less about soap opera crap.

None of their accomplishments will matter, because they’ll be called “chokers” with glee until the Shark-hating peoples of the world suffocate on their own smug self-satisfaction.

I’m not sure that the comeback and OT wins won’t matter — they might make this potential collapse even more special.

Even with the breaks, the Sharks can’t catch a break — or something like that. :)

From my inbox:

Hello,

Wanted to let you know that tonight VERSUS will air a special hour long Hockey Central beginning at 8pmET just prior to Game 7. Normally just a half hour, Versus will air the special hour long show building towards tonight’s Game 7.

Would love if you could post this news today to give fans a heads up about tonight’s show.

Here is more info on the show.* Please let me know if you think you can use.

Each night the network televises a playoff game, VERSUS will kick off the broadcast with a Hockey Central pregame show. Hosted by either Bill Patrick or Liam McHugh with Keith Jones and Jeremy Roenick, Hockey Central will preview the night’s action. To wrap up each night, the Hockey Central postgame show will have the latest highlights, news, analysis, special guests and player interviews.

Thank you and all the best,

A few points:

-If Sharks win nobody will remember how they lost control of this series (still hear anybody talking about how Vancouver choked against Chicago in round 1?)

-If Sharks lose I anticipate a mild rebuilding process (especially regarding old and expensive players)

-Marleau needs to step up and score a few goals, then JR will stop riding him, the Sharks can win and Patty can ride his bike home and catch “Night Court”. Otherwise it’s laundry time! [that one wide-eyed picture of your cat looks just like him Meg]

Why does it have rats? Chandler obviously is not doing his job.

Story time: my neighborhood used to be overrun w/ rats. They were in the trees and running on the roofs and getting into garages and houses. But then last summer Louise brought her 4 kittens to the neighborhood. I felt sorry for them and started feeding them and then trapped them and got them fixed (they are feral). But we no longer have rats. LBK (short for Little Black Kitty) is the best ratter, I have seen him w/ a rat bigger than him. And the neighbors are ok with them cause of the elimination of rats.

Let's go Ducks.

by deb d on May 12, 2011 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

Who’s Louise? What if the Rats have something and the Cats get it? Isn’t there some kinda danger. I also don’t understand how people let their cats out the house for most of the day, letting them rome the streets then come back and lay on their kids laps. Pretty dirty if yah ask me.

by ScottyKnows on May 12, 2011 1:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

Louise is the name of the feral cat that moved into the neighborhood. Her and the kittens are not able to be touched or picked up and thus when the Humane Society fixed them they got one of their ears half cut off to tell the world that they are feral but fixed and vacinated.

(it cost me $10.50 to get them fixed and vacinated and tested for any diseases cause the city of Long Beach gave me a $50 certificate towards their fixing and the Humane Society has a discount for doing feral cats)

I have indoor kitties that don’t go outside. So I don’t understand people who let their cats outside (well except for feral cats which I don’t have a choice).

that should be $10.50 each.

My cats go outside – they will sit at the door looking pathetic until someone opens it for them. They will go do whatever it is cats do outside, then scratch to be let in, go use their little box, then go back outside. Annoys the shit out of me. Like they can’t crap outside. No! They have to stink up the place instead.

Have you been to southern AZ?

There is the Titan Missile Museum. (one of those things that is cool one time, but I wouldn’t go again).

Before 9/11, we had freinds on an AFB near Tucson. We got tours and stuff. I got to sit in an A10 Warthog cockpit. Sadly, that would now happen nowadays.

My first drink

was after my mom had some friends over, so there were wine coolers in the refrigeration. It never occurred to me that it was alcoholic until my mom walked into the kitchen and saw me with it lol. I thought it was just orange soda… I think I was 15?
