Hockeytown rolls out the welcome wagon for the Sharks

Thirded

Agreed. I didn't get to watch the game last night, but after reading the GDT and some of the reports on mlive, I get the impression that it was Game 1 all over again, except this time the Wings blew a 3rd period lead. I am confident that the team can respond and make a series out of it again, but they have to start winning faceoffs, I literally can't remember the last time Zetterberg won a faceoff, even going back to the Phoenix series and regular season, he's been that atrocious, I'd say have Filppula take all the faceoffs for that line, but he hasn't been any better in this series either. I was livid after the Franzen penalty in Game 1 and it took me a long time to settle back down afterwards, once I came to the realization that the Wings have battled through similar adversity all season, and I feel good about their chances at home, but if the calls keep going this badly against the Red Wings, I don't think I will be able to keep my sanity. Win faceoffs = Win games. Our offense has been playing at the level they need to be, defense has been hampered by lack of ability to control draws in our own zone, PK could be better but they have been overworked, PP has been acceptable (at least the 1st unit, 2nd unit needs to step up), we can win this but we have to dictate the play instead of reacting to what is dealt to us, either by the Sharks or the refs, we need a fight early in game 3 to wake the team up, preferably Ericsson vs. Clowe round 2, but anyone will do. Maybe Eaves can fight Pavelski and throw him off his game :fingerscrossed:

I may be incurring the wrath of the mods by carrying on a discussion in the Photoshop thread, but if it makes you feel any better, the Red Wings have 4 Cups since the Sharks entered the league, more than any other team during that era as well.

Considering that my main job responsibility is to monitor the live feeds on GameCenter, yes I will keep watching, I just won't care anymore.

That is amazing. Where else but LGW could you get Scott Norwood, Tony Romo, Bill F(&!@ Buckner, AND C-Webb in the same picture as No Show Joe.

I hold no ill will towards Hudler, sure he put Holland in a tight spot, but if Kenny is excited to have him back, that's good enough for me.

If you eliminate us and Chicago beats Vancouver, I would definitely pull for you. If you eliminate us and Vancouver beats Chicago, different story, more players I like on the Canucks. All I really care about is someone please for the love of all that is decent knock the f'ing Penguins out of the playoffs, anyone will do, don't care if it is Montreal (yeah right), Boston, Philly, Vancouver, San Jose, even Chicago, just someone please get rid of them.

As unlikely as it would be, I kinda hope we play Philadelphia in the Finals, simply because it would be so much fun to do Photoshop Wars on Pronger, Carcillo, Hartnell, and Leino all at the same time.

The Governator shows his true colors

According to the article, Staal could possibly be back if the Penguins make the Conference Finals, which is a little bit less of a sure thing without him in the lineup. But, as the article also said, Markov missed 35 games with the same injury, so we'll see... Habs better take advantage of every powerplay chance they get, Staal is by far their best penalty killer.

That is simply awesome. Props to the 'Yotes fan for manning up and following through with the bet. After listening to the video, two things come to mind: 1) How long after the recording stopped did the guy wait to throw up 2) Gotta have more cowbell

Point taken, I forgot he plays for the Sharks.

More fun with word bubbles: +1 if you get the reference

These two are great. Who is the guy on the nickel?

Genius

Agreed, it's nice when opposing fans come on this board and actually have something to contribute instead of flame-baiting and trolling. Plus, some of the stuff posted in here by Sharks fans is very high quality work, I was checking out the Sharks forum, and that DLD guy has had some of his artwork published at HP Pavilion, quite impressive. Karma appeased, now back to the hatred

In honor of Devin Setoguchi's command performance, single-handedly drawing a 5-on-3 powerplay: He gets the oscar and a nice medal.
