Patrick Marleau and/or Joe Thornton, I will happily bear your children.
BECAUSE Y’ALL FUCKING ROCKED IN LAST NIGHT’S GAME AGAINST THE RED WINGS.
Not only was your team awesomeness personified (Thornton and Couture, thank you, thank you, thank you for getting two goals and tying up the score!), especially my dearest Nabby, who is the best NHL goalie I’ve ever seen--okay, maybe tied with Patrick Roy, but regardless, you’re bitchin’--and who deserves dozens of accolades for his performance, but that overtime was. just. holy shit.
I swear I was going to die of hypertension when the Wings were heading towards the Sharks zone, but then Nabby deflected the puck, and because the Wings were cocky and sent most of their players down for backup, there was only one lonely defenseman and the goalie back on the Detroit side. And Thornton and Marleau proceeded to do what they are fucking perfection at, Thornton passing the puck as fantastically as usual, and Marleau tapping it into the goal, past Howard who was too aggressive and made the faulty assumption that Thornton would shoot.
Marleau, as if he weren’t my hero since he joined the Sharks in ’97, has upped his awesomeness quotient ad infinitum. Thornton as well (but Marleau’s my homeboy of homeboys). Even if you aren’t a hockey fan, you must appreciate the beauty that is this shot:
And you know what this means? The Sharks not only won against Detroit who had HOME ARENA ADVANTAGE, but they lead the series 3-zip. SUCK ON THAT, RED WINGS.
MARLEAU. THORNTON. SHARKS. FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WINNNN.
