Are you a superstitious Sharks fan? Then you're not going to like this.
SUSPENSE OVER: With Joe Pavelski wearing No.8 on his jersey, Brent Burns will be wearing No. 88 for the Sharks next season. -@pollakonsharks
Hmmm. 88? Really? Are you sure? Not 18? Not 81 or 80?
Well maybe I'm reading too much into this. I mean, just because the most famous player to wear the number 88 had some minor concussion issues in his career doesn't mean -
| Eric Lindros | Brent Burns |
| 6' 4" | 6' 5" |
| First concussion at age 25. | First concussion at age 24. |
| A second concussion soon followed. | A second concussion soon followed. |
| Clashed with team over medical treatment he received. | Clashed with team over medical treatment he received. |
| Zodiac sign: Pisces. | Zodiac sign: Pisces. |
| Chinese Zodiac Sign: Ox. |
Chinese Zodiac Sign: Ox. |
Uh oh.
Damn it, Joe Pavelski, once again your selfish ways have put this team in jeopardy!

Born to lead, Ox people can be quite stubborn — but also stubbornly loyal to those they love. However, when opposed, their fierce tempers are legendary. So always follow this very wise advice : never cross an Ox!

Who’s really leading, the Ox or the guy whipping the ox?

The ox, cause eventually he’ll get tired of the guy whipping him and throw him off them stomp him to death.
GO SHARKS!
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

I don’t think anyone rides an ox. You should know that, Angy.

Either way, the ox will still stomp the guy to death. Ox wins.

But what about
The President’s trophy curse? Or is that Sharks only? ;)
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Washington Caps too. And, ahem, that trophy didn’t fare too well for the Canucks. Buy yeah, just life really. :)

Well, I wouldn’t qualify getting to G7 of the finals as a curse necessarily.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Of course YOU wouldn’t, but the curse just wanted to make it extra painful that time. ;)

I’m not really superstitious but I like superstition:) A big diff between Lindros & Burns: back in Lindros’ day the NHL didn’t believe in concussions. For all the fuss he caused, he did help bring attention to it, even if no one liked him enough to want to care what he was saying.
Personally, I am more bothered by the other 88. Now that little punk is just creepy.
yeah I wouldn’t cry if Kane got a concussion.

I prefer to think he’s trying to estimate how many points he’ll score next year on the power play.

zero?
You wanna tell me that to mah face?!
Seeing as he scored 9 with the wild…
I’d say at least like 513 with the Sharks is a sufficient estimate.

The Pisces thing isn’t that unusual, since an unusually large number of NHL players are Pisces, but I can honestly say the Ox thing was a surprise. As I was looking it up I thought, ‘It would be funny if they also had the same Chinese Zodiac sign, but there’s no way…’

It’s the “NHL Birthday” thing that Malcolm Gladwell made probably too much of a deal about in his book “Outliers.” Canadian NHL players are disproportionally born in January, February, and March. Supposedly it has to do with cut-off dates for kids getting into junior hockey or something.
This is a table containing players from the 10-11 season separated by birth month. If you sort it by the total number of players you’ll see that February and March each have over 10% of the total players, and January is next with 9.5%.

it seems like everybody i know is born in february or eary march.

Just goes to show you that Bobby is the only intillegent hockey player in the league.
If Burns hadn’t had concussion problems, he’d wear 53. =)
Is there supposed to be a connection between sentences one and two of that comment? Cause I don’t see it. Also who is Bobby?
by meetyourmako on Jun 30, 2011 11:27 AM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
I’m stumped, too. Only player to wear 53 for Anaheim ever was Brett Festerling; Bobby Ryan once had 54, though.
Jesse Fibiger 2003-2003
Joe Pavelski 2007-2007
Ryan Vesce 2009-2010
Interesting Pavelski’s there, but that’s not really it, either.
www.battleofcali.com
He’s saying that Bobby couldn’t wear 9 so he wored 54 (5+4=9). Burns should wear 53 (5+3=8) but he’s too concussed to do the math.

2. Most McNuggets he’s had in one sitting.*
3. Most hockey player dicks he’s seen in one road trip.**

Oh – looks like basketball is having issues.
Union chief Billy Hunter says “it’s obvious the lockout will happen tonight” after players and owners failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, potentially putting the 2011-12 season in jeopardy.
So football & basketball, what other winter sport can we get rid of and just leave hockey. :)

88 is a symbol for Neo Nazi’s. H is the 8th letter (Hail Hitler). Be wary of white dudes with shaved heads sporting 88.
