GO SHARKS! One more against LA and they are on good path. Have to cover the sting of 2014 at least a little...:))

And the Warriors are too boring to watch...And the Giants are being pathetic, will return to them in after August, when things matter. lol

There is no game today. Last night was off the hook though. Hope there are more games like that one, mid week. Completely different than watching baseball. How can you even put the two in the same post?

Pro Sports, the ultimate in ball-cupping. . .

Glorifying climbers is ball cupping too, as glorifying individual athletes is. Although, I don't have an issue with recognizing an athlete, or a climber has skills or passion worth the attention. Organized sports are composed of individual athletes who practice their craft as an artist would, as a climber would. Admiring different kinds of sports, arts, actors or whatever is not too bad, as there is something to learn from all sorts of activities out there.

Hope to see a great game tonight..!!!!!!!

Yes, for someone with a good amount of extra cash! I did go to a playoff game several years ago, which we got a great deal on, but honestly, I enjoy watching the games in comfort, on TV at home. I can do some productive stuff on my laptop and eat good food that doesn't cost me a fortune.

If Sharks win today in LA, they will advance and play against another team with schedule TBA. If not, next game is in SJ in a few days.

As a western PA native I grew up with the Penguins (well ok so I was almost grown up by the time the franchise started)...

Moving to Santa Cruz I became a Sharks fan from their inception.

I run into the same problem when the Niners and Steelers meet. etc. etc.

DAMN. Tough two losses in very close games. Hope they blow them out at SAP!


When I was a kid I remember watching an action movie about terrorists (?) that planted a bomb at a Penguins Stanley Cup game (?). It was back in Ukraine, I was a child and don't remember the name, or the plot. But remember it was the Penguins playing in overtime. Watching that made me think of the Penguins as NY Yankees of NHL haha. So it is kind of cool they are playing vs the Sharks now. Hope we can have a 2-2 tie after the following two games!

Sudden Death! That movie is so awful but also so good. Some people that I used to live with had a goal to watch every John-Claude Van Damme movie, which is the only reason I know that :)

YES! I think every kid in the Ukraine that was a male watched every single Van Damme movie. As well as every Arnold movie. Terminator 2 was likely the most popular movie for 11 year olds when I was there...have to watch it again some time.

The Sharks just gave up, got out skated, one lapse at the end of the 3rd.



Now, 1:25, to go , Sharks empty net, and they are pressing. . .

Shot , shot shot, no icing back to the other end . . .

but that's it - over 3 to 1
