I was googling "Patrick Marleau awkward" today like I usually do, and I came across a "Marleau facts" tumblr. Unsurprisingly they're rip offs from BoC. Can BoC legal sue them?!

And on another note, this thread from HF Boards showed up and was hilarious. A user there found the original Patrick Marleau facts "highly insulting." We can only assume that Patrick Marleau himself made that comment.

Fear The Fin Gameday Thread: Sharks @ Lightning


I don't have a prediction for the final score but I do have a feeling Logan Couture scores an early power play goal.

Here's an open thread to discuss the 49ers and all their playoffness!

Fear The Fin Sharks battle against the Wild, lose 5-4 in the shootout

Well that was a bizarre game.

While watching the game and taking notes to write this recap, I was prepared to write one for a win.... and then a loss... and then a win loss win really bad loss win tie and then finally a shootout loss.

This game really was a roller coaster. In the first two periods, the Wild outshot the Sharks 22-15 which is very uncharacteristic of both teams. The Wild are 28th for shots for per game (26.7) and 30th for shots against per game (31.9). The Sharks are 1st in the league for shots for per game (34.9) and 5th in the league for shots against per game (28.6). Things would later balance out after the third and overtime period with the Sharks leading shots 38-31.

The Sharks didn't have a strong game. Antti Niemi wasn't particularly sharp and neither was the team in front. They allowed four goals to a Minnesota Wild team who typically struggle to score goals. Despite those struggles it was great to see the Sharks come from behind and tie up the game.

Shootout losses aren't necessarily something to be ashamed of. They're essentially a coin-flip and they definitely don't indicate team strength. However, the one point between a shootout win and a shootout loss feels like a lot. It's a bummer to lose, but let me remind you that the Sharks have earned points in 12 of the last 13 games (H/T Soloact). 20 out of 26 possible points in that span. Also the PK went 3-3!

Feel better now? So do I. Breakdown of the game after the jump.

Fear The Fin Brent Burns scores in OT, Sharks win their fifth straight

If you were expecting another fast-paced Sharks game like the one against Detroit yesterday, well you were right for the first 17 seconds. Imagine the following: The game starts with a Logan Couture faceoff win. Sharks have possession in the offensive zone and Couture draws a cross-checking penalty from Steve Staios. Ten seconds pass.

Pause.

Sharks on the power play, faceoff in the offensive zone. Faceoff is lost but the Sharks get the puck back. The puck is brought to Dan Boyle at the point at he fires a shot. It hits the post and Joe Pavelski is there to pick up the rebound. Rick DiPietro is out of position and it's 1-0 Sharks. Seven seconds pass.

Pause.

At this point Sharks fans were getting themselves ready for an exciting game but nope, didn't happen. Tonight the Sharks expectedly looked like a team playing the second night of a back-to-back. For only the third time this season they were outshot. It was an uncharacteristic game but Thomas Greiss was there to make 35 saves on 37 Islander shots. The Sharks were fortunately able to support him with 3 goals on 30 shots.

Shortly after Pavelski's goal, Dan Boyle was sent to the penalty box for a hooking call. The Sharks penalty kill held strong limiting the Islanders to 3 shots on their power play. The first five minutes set the trend for the rest of the game. It was back and forth action all night with both teams playing strong but neither outright dominating.

Fear The Fin Trade Targets?

I was doing some research on some players and was thinking of ways on how to improve the team. Anyhow I made a list and you guys could tell me what you think.

Steven Stamkos

Nicklas Lidstrom

Alex Ovechkin

Zdeno Chara

Pekka Rinne

Sidney Crosby

Pavel Datsyuk


I assume Doug Wilson will go after some of these player because they would immensely improve the team and make it more better. Some of the names might be a stretch, like Rinne, but I'm sure the Sharks are interested in obtaining such players.

As for trade bait this gets a little tougher. I'm thinking the Sharks will definitely trade some 1st round draft picks because historically they're not really good drafting early (as evidenced by the 2008 and 2009 1st round draft picks not contributing anything to the organization yet). I'm thinking the Sharks are willing to part ways with a guy like Torrey Mitchell so he could be part of a package with draft picks and maybe even some minor leaguers.

so what do you guys think? Should the Sharks trade for one of these guys?

Fear The Fin Why the Sharks should trade Logan Couture (April OT Thread)

Just kidding, here's your April OT thread!

As you all know, the Oakland Athletics are having their home opener tonight so I'm pretty excited about that... The other team in San Francisco called the Giants (which the media talked a lot about last season for some reason) played yesterday. For me, April is a great time of the year. Baseball season starting, hockey playoffs nearing, and summers almost starting. And just out of curiosity I'm putting a poll at the end of this post...

Here's part II. Also a highlight video of the Cheechoo train in Worcester.

I don't know if you guys saw this yet and if you haven't you should definitely watch this. It makes me miss Cheech. Such an awesome guy, hope he makes it back to the NHL somehow.

Fear The Fin FTF Community Guidelines

Dun dun dun... Yes, we're making a Community Guidelines for FTF. Aren't you excited!? Don't worry though, this isn't a result of anyone or anything's behavior. We're not going to get a whole lot strict all of a sudden, but we figured it would be nice to set some guidelines for everyone to follow. They'll be pretty straightforward, basic rules.

The Community Guidelines will put a lot of emphasis on "Community." That means if you think something is wrong or out of order, flag that comment, or even send an email. The moderators will see it and take action if necessary for the issue.

Leave your opinions in the comments!

Ack, I was meaning to do this sooner and make a whole recap (sortof) but I barely have time!

Anyway, here was me on my Awkward Night at the Tank.

I didn't get too many reactions though. I guess people thought I was just... awkward. The Sharks lost the preseason game but I didn't care. I got to see people get beat up people on and off the ice (A crazy lady got kicked about for being CRAZY).

It was an enjoyable night to be back at the Tank and once again, many thanks to Mike! Oh, and your seats in 205 were very nice!

Fear The Fin Teal and White 2010 Recap

Posterrto_medium

20th anniversary poster handed out upon entering the building.

Last night the Sharks played the Sharks in the annual Teal and White game. As usual, the game was very exciting. This could be attributed to the fact that the 7,300 STH's and friends have gone through a whole summer without any hockey . Other factors include seeing top prospects you often hear about, and you finally get to see them play live. Also, this isn't like most exhibition games where players take it easy and put on a show for the fans. The younger players were fighting hard, trying to impress. It was fun watching the "no-name" kids throw  big hits on the "super-stars."

The game ended with the Teal team winning 2-0 over the White team (Rosters, highlights, and other photos can be viewed here). Joe Thornton and Tony Lucia scored for Team Teal. Antero Niitymaki and Alex Stalock each played a half for the Teal combining for a shutout while Thomas Greiss and Antii Niemi each gave up a goal in the half they played. SOG were 21 Teal, 23 White.

It's the off-season and everyone is crazy. Anyone wanna watch hockey?

Anyone miss game threads and actual hockey? Last off-season Plank had a very good idea but it never went through. The idea was for everyone to have Hulu on and watch Game 7 against Calgary from two season ago. Then we would have a game thread rolling and well, it would be awesome! Now how many people are interested? That's the first part and the second would be, what is a good time to do this? Discuss!

Someone mentioned this before, but the whole "Joe Pavelski 2.0" comparison is at a whole new level.

HI welcome back to Dropping the Gloves. There hasn't been one in... a REALLY LONG time.  Reasons why it went on a hiatus?

  1. I have a life (stupid bloggers). Seriously, who has a blog?
  2. School and such.
