skipjack · Oct 16, 2008, 01:28 AM

Well, that's a jinx if ever I heard one:

1. Anaheim
2. LA
3. LA
4. Columbus
5. (Friday's game)

klb5090 · Oct 16, 2008, 11:33 AM

we all remember what happened when ottawa had an amazing 5-0 start to the year and then a 8-1 record....they lost to the Penguins in a first round sweep

ShortcutToMoncton · Oct 16, 2008, 01:05 PM

Opponent's Record: 2-8

This is the sound of one hand clapping

gumby5647 · Oct 16, 2008, 05:04 PM

Blackhawks fire coach Denis Savard after 4 games! WTF

ort888 · Oct 16, 2008, 09:30 PM

Screw the sharks!

Go Blues!

residentEvil · Oct 17, 2008, 06:48 PM

villalobos · Oct 17, 2008, 07:40 PM

Wings all the way. Of course.

Curse you guys.

ShortcutToMoncton · Oct 18, 2008, 09:27 AM

You do it to yourself, you do

olePigeon · Nov 7, 2008, 12:14 PM

GO SHARKS!!!

8-0 home games. They're 1st in the whole damn NHL. w00t!

That Blues game yesterday was AWESOME. Hockey at its best. Great saves by both teams, back and forth scoring, last second tie, and a win in the shootout.

ort888 · Nov 7, 2008, 12:22 PM

Whatever. Last night sucked balls. And your team has an unholy pact with the dark prince of the underworld.

Hey, last time I checked, Satan is playing for the Penguins.

iLikebeer · Nov 10, 2008, 03:29 AM

Boucher stood on his head the last couple of minutes of tonight's game.
That was a really exciting game, but the Coyote pups wanted it more.

olePigeon · Nov 12, 2008, 06:34 PM

So you're still technically undefeated if you tie a game, right?

DAMN close game. Lost in the shootout. Dang. Still 3 points up on 2nd place in the division.

GO SHARKS!!!

olePigeon · Nov 15, 2008, 09:55 PM

10-0-1

6-1 over Calgary.

GO SHARKS!!!

olePigeon · Nov 18, 2008, 01:47 AM

Mwuhahaha. Sweet revenge.

Go Sharks!

olePigeon · Nov 29, 2008, 02:11 AM

Death to Dallas, you cheating bastards. Hah!

olePigeon · Dec 2, 2008, 02:27 AM

Yehaw, that makes 7 in a row.

That double pad save by Nabby in the 3rd period was incredible.

They are 12-0-1 at home. GO SHARKS!!!

olePigeon · 02:01 AM

Sharks just tied the NHL record for the most points scored in the first 25 games, at 43. They are now the leading starting season points scorer in the history of the NHL. GO SHARKS!!!

Oh, make that 8 game winning streak.

olePigeon · Dec 5, 2008, 12:32 PM

Holy cow! Nabby was insane!

9 in a row. GO SHARKS!!!

klb5090 · Dec 5, 2008, 02:32 PM

This is me retracting all the bad things i said about such a great start, the sharks are playing unbelievable and without injuries they could easily run the table. To bad they don't play the pens till February

olePigeon · Dec 5, 2008, 03:24 PM

My secondary goal for the Sharks (if they don't win the cup) is to tie or beat yer Penguins at most consecutive wins.

My tertiary goal is for the Sharks to remain undefeated the whole season for home games.

I think it's cuz of their new Black Armor jersey. Everyone knows black makes stuff stealthier, faster, cooler, and more affective.

ort888 · Dec 5, 2008, 03:27 PM

I think the time is right for the Blues and Sharks to flip the flip roles and recreate the 2000 playoffs.

rickey939 · Dec 5, 2008, 05:45 PM

Blackhawks.

olePigeon · Dec 7, 2008, 03:54 PM

Nooo! OT loss.

Broke their winning streak. At least they still got a point.

olePigeon · Dec 15, 2008, 01:03 PM

Phew! What a close game. Mason looked like he was on his game in the 1st period. Got really worried. Nabbie wasn't doing too grate. By the 2nd and 3rd periods, both teams looked to be an even matchup. Then Marleau got that one-handed goal.

Man, that double check by Murray!

That was one of the coolest checks I've ever seen.

olePigeon · Dec 15, 2008, 02:31 PM

Alright, managed to make a short clip of that awesome check.

(wouldn't show my animated gif, so click on the picture to see the check.)

ort888 · Dec 15, 2008, 02:34 PM

Uh, that wasn't an awesome check by Murray. It was a missed check by the Blues player. You don't check people when carrying the puck.

And dude, you're talking to yourself in here. How long have you been a hockey fan? Just curious.

olePigeon · 03:21 PM

He collided into his own teammate just when Murray was hitting the other guy. It was still 2v1 and the other 2 were flattened out.

I've been an armchair fan ever since the Sharks were created. So about 20 years, but I don't follow it religiously. I don't really follow the other teams except towards the end of the season when I know it'll affect the Sharks. I've created other Sharks threads in the past, but usually towards the end of the season, and I participate in the NHL threads. Sharks are just doing incredibly awesome this year, so I have a lot to say for people like me who don't really follow the other teams.

I don't have season tickets, I only have one jersey, I don't follow player trades/salaries/personal fallacies. I just enjoy watching hockey more than any other sport except rugby (which I find just as entertaining.) I find baseball, football, soccer, and especially basketball boring as all hell. I'll occasionally watch college football, though.

Is that OK with you? Am I allowed to be a fan of hockey without taking my shirt off and painting my chest and face blue and white?

ort888 · Dec 15, 2008, 02:56 PM

You have my permission to be a hockey fan. Yes.

And the Sharks have been around for almost 20 years. I think they started around '91.

And again, Murray was fighting with Hinote for the puck, when [someone] came in for a check and missed. All Murray did was get out of the way.

I have to admit that I did not watch this game, so all I have to go on is your very blurry GIF.

Oops, I mean 20. Hit the wrong key.

Then hit the "last game" button, then click on the 700k link for the highlights.

olePigeon · Dec 18, 2008, 03:04 PM

No! Sharks lost in OT against the Blue Jackets. Blue Jackets have been outplaying the Sharks all year. Some good news, though, because that OT point just let the Sharks set yet another NHL record: Sharks now have the most starting points for the first 30 games in the history of the NHL, beating out the 1929-1930 Bruins.

GO SHARKS!!!

scottiB · Dec 18, 2008, 03:46 PM

The Red Wings are playing like utter dog-sh!+ in the defensive end, Osgood's GAA is above 3, and yet they are only 9 points back.

Sharks will burn out--see 95-96 Red Wings: 131 points and no Cup.

Good thing they got that record before tonight game.

6-0 baby!

Phew, ouch! Well, they had to lose some time or another. At least it was to a tried and true team. Luckily it wasn't a home game. I'm hoping for an undefeated home game season.

ort888 · Dec 28, 2008, 02:59 AM

What, no update today?

olePigeon · Dec 28, 2008, 03:24 AM

I just got back from my cabin. There's nothing that can be even remotely construed as internet access there. A friend of my mom's completely flipped out and I had to take her home early, so now I get to spend the rest of my vacation at home.

On the flip side of the Red Wings loss, Sharks just won 2 more in a row with a 5-0 win over the Canucks, but a loss in OT against the blues. Still got a point, though Boston is closing in.

villalobos · Jan 1, 2009, 05:41 PM

Hijacking your Sharks' related thread to say that the Winter Classic was pretty freaking good!

RobOnTheCape · Jan 1, 2009, 11:31 PM

and the Bruins now take the lead!

Good would have been if someone nuked Wrigley Field.

They're 1 game ahead, though. If sharks win their next game they'll be back in the lead.

mr. burns · Jan 2, 2009, 01:09 AM

i've lived in the san jose area for about 20 years and never been to a sharks game.
