Don't make me come down there
You know what else really pisses me off about the Sharks? Their fans. Oh sure, they can yell and scream in the rink, but where are they now? Where is the witty banter? The mocking? The superior attitude that can only come when your team is up 2-0?
Of the five Sharks blogs that I could find:
This smug passive aggressive thing that they are apparently pulling doesn't work for me.
Of the five Sharks blogs that I could find:
- one doesn't like anyone linking to him,
- one hasn't been updated since April 28th,
- one actually agrees with the thrust of an article from the Edmonton Sun listing 28 reasons to hate San Jose,
- one just gives us a disgustingly non-partisan recap of the game, and
- one actually has a photo of Edmonton fans on his site in a non-ironic, non-mocking context.

I would bring the smack if Blogger would let me publish once without eating a post. Now it wont even let me attempt to post.
Oh, and if your fans think being witty is throwing a pot roast on the ice during the Canadian national anthem, or a porterhouse roast, or whatever the f they were talking about, you deserve to lose in the second round. And I wont even touch the "Show your pole for Stoll" rallying cry, although I think they use that chant in San Francisco periodically.
It is a war against OIL for game 3!
Hee- as a Sharks fan, and season ticket holder of many years, I WISH we had a larger more vitriolic presence on the blogosphere. You would think being in the heart of Silly Valley that we would at least have the numbers, if not the attitude.
Maybe we use up all of our energy cheering, none left over for the rest of it. Although I think if we were doing poorly we would have louder 'net voices.
Our other Bay Area sports teams suck big sweaty goat balls right now, so perhaps the hockey fans are just basking in the relative glow of happiness with a team that we can brag about, or maybe it is being so close to Berkeley and SF...all the happy liberal karma streaming down upon us mellows us out.
Except for PJ up there...he doesn't seem to have bought into the happy happy joyjoy that I have....
And what was that thing that was thrown on the ice?
That's the spirit pj! And jen-again, your trash talk is non-existent; but your use of the phrase "big sweaty goat balls" gives you a free pass for life. Well done.
The Alberta Beef thrown on the ice is a lame carryover from Game 1 vs Detroit. After the first octopus hit the ice, some wag from a local country music station thought it would be funny to throw a big Alberta steak on the ice as a rebuttal. And it was funny. The first time.
Against the Sharks throwing meat on the ice smacks too much of baiting the wild animals with the smell of blood -- not a particularly good idea.
