Sharks Gameday: True Believers

Sharks player = X-men character they are most similar to

Ryane Clowe = Wolverine

Douglas Murray = Colossus

Patrick Marleau = Beak

Joe Pavelski = Cyclops

Joe Thornton = Gambit

Dan Boyle = Cable

Michal Handzus = Xorn

Jamie McGinn = Cannonball

Brent Burns = Anole

Torrey Mitchell = Jubilee

Marc-Edouard Vlasic = Iceman

Martin Havlat = Nightcrawler

Prediction: Sharks win 2-1 in overtime. Clowe scores the winning goal from Murray, in the hockey equivalent of a Fastball Special.

(My 71st-favorite movie is X2. Yes, it's three slots better than Schindler's List.)
