GAME 1: 6-1 Vancouver at Vancouver - Nov 26, 2010

That's depressing enough to me... I still remember that game... and I don't see how tonight won't be just as bad, sorry.

 

[KillerVee]

Spelled "defense" wrong.

 

[SJVP408]

This game is either going to give them some confidence going forward or be a reality check. Excited to see the two new guys.

 

[Cbrower91]

I wonder if mitchell is going to call it a career after the season. That leg just seems to be a problem

 

[sharksfan1135]

"scored in my own net" i think huskins should be on that too. Only goal he scored this season was in his own net.

Well, i hope sharks shows up for this game or else, it will be over before first period ends.

Nuckle heads are not in good mood after getting shut out loss to Minny and OT loss to avs.

 

[Destroydacre]

The Sharks will probably win this prompting Wilson to trade a bunch of draft picks thinking this is a "championship caliber" team.

 

[KillerVee]

This is sooooo off-topic but I feel like telling people. I just stood behind Barry Bonds in line at Walgreen's while he was buying Power Bars. And I couldn't think of ONE thing to say to him! I just avoided eye contact with him and his two entourage members he had next to him and pretended like I had no idea he was chilling right in front of me.

Whoa.

Now why I can't ever run into any Sharks?!

Maybe they don't shop at Walgreen's and/or eat Power Bars. At least they've played this season as if they don't eat Power Bars.

 

[rares]

Check local buffet places now that Wellwood is on the team/in town... :p

Just hang out in Los Gatos. You can't swing a dead octopus around without hitting one.

I don't know whether to or .

You should've said "do Power Bars work as well as the cream or the clear?"

OH!

Barry's reactions:

 

[KillerVee]

Los Gatos, eh? Don't give me any ideas!

 

[puckhead]

fyi.... UBC Thunderbirds goaltender Jordan White will dress and SJ's back-up, after Nitty was injured in practice today.
I don't know the details of the injury.

good luck down the stretch, but not tonight.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Sharks signed a university of bc goalie to an amateur tryout contract so he can backup
