Sharks Gameday: Quick and Painless

Warning: this video contains mild Deadwood spoilers as well as graphic and awesome violence.

For this video to have the proper effect you need to imagine that Nicklas Lidstrom is ordering the whiskey and Pavel Datsyuk is ordering the beer.





Megalodon's Sunday Special - Keys to the Game

1. Score more goals than the Red Wings.

2. Don't let the Red Wings score a lot.

3. Hit people.

4. If possible, run Nicklas Lidstrom over with an ice cream truck.

 

Prediction: A happy San Jose crowd gets to see a handshake. Sharks win 3-2, with goals from White, Thornton, and Pavelski.

Such violence...

…and depravity (and subtitles). I like it!

Possibly too graphic for this Hallmark® holiday.

I suppose you could’ve used a Lovejoy clip, circa 1987. Much more mom-friendly, and McShane’s mullet would bring some good hockey mojo.

LET’S GO SHARKS!

I won’t press play as I’m just finishing Season 2 (Wolcott just announced that Hearst was arriving)…

BUT I’ll be there tonight, thanks to my awesome wife giving me a pass on Mother’s Day. It helps having her stepdad’s entire side of the family be hockey nuts, including some of my cousins-in-law on the traveling Junior Sharks team and Junior Olympics In-Line Hockey Team. Let’s bring it home tonight and let Nashville and Vancouver beat each other senseless for another two games.

Personally, I don’t mind if there’s a big spectacle made or if it’s the quietest, most anticlimactic thing ever seen. If it ends tonight, I’ll be happy. I just don’t want to have to face my coworker Red Wing fan if Detroit pulls this off.

I had this 13-year-old kid sitting behind me who was swearing up a storm next to his dad. Every other word out of his mouth was an f-bomb, which was super funny because his voice hadn’t changed yet. His dad was pretty bad too, so I guess it runs in the family. He was screaming with rage at the fourth Wings goal. I mean, I was pretty pissed too but to have a kid do a non-stop f-bomb rant for 30 seconds, all ending in a “ARGGGGGGGGGGH” was pretty amusing.

I think father and son have to do some family bonding in anger management.

Roenick always rubbed me the wrong way.
And he’s always been a media attention whore.

The way they’ve been writing about him on FtF you’d think he was given the key to the city and petitioned for sainthood in San Jose.

I get it. He’s American. He was really good on the Blackhawks 20 years ago. He had one good playoff game in San Jose against our “arch-rival”(?) Calgary.

Somehow none of that ever made him seem like any less of a jackass to me.

Defend Marleau; but still like Roenick

I think this should be the consensus opinion. I’ll back JR for his brief stint in SJ; he was fun to watch as the “old guy”, and gave the fans something to cheer for; made the club stand out.

Plus, me thinks his mentoring on Seto, and to a lesser extent Mitchell, seems to have paid off.

by yinhole on May 9, 2011 2:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

Roenick, of course, has been needling Marleau ever since he retired. So I asked him if there something personal between them.

"This is totally on the record," he said. "I am not a Patrick Marleau fan. I’m not going to pretend to be. But I also will tell you that he is an incredible, incredible talent. I wish I had the talent he has. If I had the talent Patrick Marleau has, I wouldn’t even know what I could have done. But I have my opinion of his determination and effort level, especially with the amount of money that he makes. I respect people’s opinions, but I have one, too. I really feel that the San Jose Sharks, the fans, and Doug Wilson deserve a better effort than they have gotten on a lot of nights in this series. And I have the ability to say that. This is not an act. This is me speaking my mind. Patrick Marleau has a lot of fans. I just happen to be not one of them."

Yeah. Okay. Maybe this one time you are right. Rest of the article is here.

I always joked that if you could somehow fuse Todd Harvey and Patrick Marleau, you’d have the ultimate hockey player.

You’d also have a gap-toothed awkward smile with a unibrow.
