MLK day today, which is nice. also, also NHL's lockout is finally over and done with. w00t. so that means sharks are back to playing! XD haha sorry about that, hockey gushing has nothing really to do with the story, so here we go ( Read more... )

some of this news isn't really all that new per se, but this is my first comprehensive sports post in awhile.

ok, so it's weird.  apparently my whole family thinks i'm depressed (except for my sister who knows better).  and it's spreading to my cousin now too.  i hope they haven't told their suspicions to my aunt and uncle too who were just visiting them ( Read more... )

haha so going into the conference finals, from the west will be seeds 1 (SJ sharks) and 2 (chicago blackhawks) and from the east will be seeds 7 (philadelphia flyers) and 8 (montreal canadiens).  that just slightly amuses me.

fyi on how it works: the top 8 teams on the east and the top 8 from the west qualify for the playoffs based off their ( Read more... )

so another hockey update.  poor sharks lost out 7-1, with 5 of those points scored in the 1st period alone.  ouchh.  i think i have a jinx where if i watch the beginning of a game i support on tv, they more than likely end up losing.  D:  it's horrible i know.  i was hoping that it'd be ok this year, but i guess not.  i finished watching those ( Read more... )

so, i know i'm a fan of the sharks, have been always will be since i was born and raised in (or around) san jose, but i used to respect the other fanbases too.  i like knowing that people can be understanding of losses.  that being said, i'm steadily losing my sympathy with the detroit fans.

( i'll spare the non-hockey readers from my long ramblings. this is just a product of my vented frustration on those people. )

they won they won they won!  i was so freaked out, because i didn't even know when the game started (i was confused by the time zones and such) and when i tuned in it was already 3rd period 3-1 wings.  and then two more goals (by thornton and then couture) and then the final overtime kill with marleau's goal.  final score 4-3.  AWESOME.  plus it's ( Read more... )

HELL YES.  los tiburones up 2-0 in the series.  pavelski's on FIRE.  (and he's pretty damn hot too, which helps whenever they flash his face up on the screen.)

sorry for all the hockey talk.  i love me some sharks though.  :D

update

i forgot to add, here's the wtf moment of the game, because every series needs one or two.  someone threw a dead shark ( Read more... )

haha so, i don't know if anyone watches the NHL stanley cup playoffs here, but i'm rooting for the san jose sharks all the way!  :D

i love that they actually made it past the first round this year.  i'm starting to think the president's trophy might be a little cursed.  (the president's trophy in case you didn't know is awarded to the team with the ( Read more... )
