Kick down the fuckin Kings front door, and start off 2011 with kicking the shit out of the La Kings!

Let's start off with the new year with a Win!

 

[Slimpikins]

Sharks need some of those in-division points.

LET'S GO SHARKS!!!

LOL. Is anyone watching this game?

Listening to Rusanowsky and Baker on the radio, old-school. ""

 

[Slimpikins]

Unfortunately I am watching it.

 

[shrksfn9192]

Hey, they finally beat Quick! 1-0

 

[Slimpikins]

Niemi with the Shutout. Well done Antti.

 

[SJVP408]

Tough road win. Niemi held it down when the Kings were carrying play. Seto has awoken which is great to see. Now if only the veteran forwards would wake up.

 

[MrChangoT97]

not much of a kick ass game, but a WIN is a win

 

[MrChangoT97]

I'm getting tired, of watching the games on the computer, it keeps freezing up!!!!!!! every 4 sec. UGH!!!!!!!!

CSNCA better get alt channels or do something so that Shark fans that dont have csnca have a chance to watch games on tv.

I agree. As always no complaints about getting 2 points. LA clearly didn't play nearly as well as they did the last time these teams played though. There's still lots of room for the Sharks to improve their game.

 

[shrksfn9192]

Solid defensive effort by Thornton and the rest of the team, especially in the 3rd period. That's the type of overall effort needed, unlike the come-from-ahead losses this season in Colorado, Dallas, Nashville, and Minnesota. This team should have over 50 points in the standings right now, but any win like the one tonight is a good one. Vancouver will be a tough home game on Monday.
