Without the San Jose Sharks, my life outside of teaching would be a tedious existence - which is why I express my thanks by attending as many home games as I can. One of these days, when my teacher salary permits, I'll splurge on season tickets of my own. For the time being, over 20 games is what I'm averaging - and that's not counting road games. Twelve NHL arenas down, 18 to go...

San Jose Sharks Matryoshka
Oh the things you can buy in Moscow...
Sure the Sharks logo looks a little squished, but dude - pure genius to have Ryane Clowe be the final matryoshka.
Three of these players will surely be with us next year - 4 out of 5 wouldn't be bad.

Mr. K. as a kid, with Sandis Ozolinsh
I drove to my parents' house in order to carpool to my grandma's, and guess what I find on the counter = this photo of Sandish Ozolinsh, my little brother, and yours truly. Circa 1992-93.
While this should help my street cred, I have to admit = I have literally zero recollection of this happening.
Neither would Sandis, I imagine...

Stanley Cup Finals Game 7 Open Thread
Can Gary Bettman you believe it?
The Penguins have tied the series yet again, and the series returns to the Joe Louis Arena for one of the most exciting things in hockey - a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
What could more exciting, you ask? Game 7 in overtime.
But I'm getting ahead of myself - the game is Friday, which gives us 72 hours to salivate and battle hypertension while mulling over hypothetical scenarios.
In the comments, please place your final vote BEFORE THE GAME STARTS as to who you think will win the Conn Smythe. Will it be Evgeni Malkin, win or lose? One of the Wangs?
And of course, there's our standard poll (sorry to beat this issue to death) =

Stanley Cup Finals Game 6 Open Thread
Yeah, this thread is going up almost 48 hours ahead of time - I'm getting ready to leave on my summer trip, and I don't want to forget about this in the midst of my personal craziness.
Also, this could be the final game of the season. While I certainly hope that it's not, this could be the last gameday thread until September (preseason). It's been great chatting with you all, and though I won't be around this summer (unless I log in from Mother Russia), Plank and TCY will undoubtedly have you happy and well fed with Sharks roster shakeup news and discussion.
I hope this "goodbye for the summer" of sorts is premature (i.e. - GAME 7, PLEASE) - but given how Detroit slaughtered the Penguins in Game 5, I'm beginning to feel pessimism.
All the same - GO PENS.

Stanley Cup Finals Game 5 Open Thread, plus points leaders
Amazingly, the Stanley Cup will not be in the house tonight - and for that, we (except ang6666 who sold her soul to the Winged Wheel) are grateful.
Keys for a Pittsburgh win? In no particular order = the Penguins need to continue to exploit Detroit's weaknesses with special teams. Marc-Andre Fleury needs to continue to play like Chris Osgood played in the first two games. Marian Hossa needs to be reminded of the bad karma, because I guarantee you the thought has crossed his mind since Game 4 ended. Pittsburgh needs to win one away from home, because if the home team keeps winning, it's Wings in 7.
Game 6 will, of course, be an elimination game, and the Stanley Cup WILL be in the Mellon Arena on Tuesday. The team that faces elimination will be decided tonight. GO PENS.

Stanley Cup Final Game 2 Open Thread
Hmmm... I dropped the ball on the fanpost for Game 1. Much like the Penguins with their power plays...
