meazza Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Anyone see the game last night. It went into triple overtime and the oilers ended up pulling out the win. I think they will end up coming back to win this series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I like the fact that a team from a warm climate could attract some great fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm pulling for the Sharks. That way I'd get to go to a Sabres-Sharks finals game in SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegtapr Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 There are two options for a great hockey season. The Sabres win the Cup or a team from Canada does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I stayed up and watched the whole game. I have to admit that the Oilers were far more aggressive in their play last night. I kept on cheering everytime Vesa Toskala stopped all the shots that were coming his way. I started to think the Sharks would pull it out. Oh well, so we did'nt sweep them. We'll win in 5. Oh yes, I'm a Sharks fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't show them much on tv so i have had trouble following them put i really do hope that they pull off this series. Can't say I dislike the Sharks though, they have shown that even teams where the temperatures are always warm that hockey can succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely one of the louder venues, especially during the playoffs. Also, there is'nt a bad seat in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres win the Cup or a team from Canada does not. 689396[/snapback] It belongs as much in Canada as it does along the border or in the hands of an original six team... Anything below the Mason-Dixon line is farce in my books. Believe it or not... I will be rooting for (in this order): BUFFALO Ottawa Edmonton San Jose (I used to like the California Golden Seals... Linage with the Knox's goes through Buffalo... ) Now... Take your pick with the other teams from hell: Colorado... Even know they should be in the North American hockey mecca they call Québec... Anahiem (Hollywood or what??? It is like they are living on some movie-set that takes place on the Arrowhead of Minnesota (where the games really should be played)...) New Jersey (the old Kansas City Scouts, used to really make my blood boil... Who eff plays hockey along the MO-KS border???... On the other side of I-70, the St. Louis Blues are okay, St. Louis is a good French-Catholic town... ) Carolina... Are you kidding me? Hartford Whalers had a lot more class... /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that Colorado's GM Pierre Lacroix will be stepping down as GM and remain as president of the Avalanche. He also said they are in big trouble as they currently have 8 million locked up in 3 washed up players, Turgeon, Theo and Brisebois. He also said that Anaheim would be the new hotspot for free agents for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverNRed Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 He also said that Anaheim would be the new hotspot for free agents for some reason. 690433[/snapback] I'll take a couple stabs at this one. 1. Ducks players can play hockey at night and spend their days at the beach. 2. Ducks players are loved by the fans when they win. And when they lose, the fans just find something else to do besides jump all over them and try to run them out of town. (Take note, Buffalo). So basically you can live in Newport Beach, in the perfect climate, and play for people who only know how to love you and never figured out the concept of "booing." Oh, and women in Anaheim are gorgeous. So I'm thinking, yeah, I'd probably play in Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop living the Hollywood lie and move to the Arrowhead of Minnesota where the game should be rightfully played... Not some scripted movie plot... WTF is that all about? Call me a purist...

Also, there is'nt a bad seat in the house. 690374[/snapback] Shark Tank is a fantastic arena. Lots of space in the concourses and everywhere else. Lots of energy as well. What is curious to me is how this team has such a dedicated core of fans that fill the rink every game. However, here in the Bay area you barely know the team exists. Very little press coverage. Out here its all bastketball, football and baseball. Poor uncultured slobs. Anyway. Even though now the series is tied at two, the Sharks will prevail. The Oilers are a team that needs emotion and their home rink to succeed. They have really very few dependable skilled shooters. In fact , thier best player, Smyth, is anything but a pure goal scorer. Great player he is but not a natural trigger man. Its going to be a long series now but the Sharks will have to go 7 to do it unfortunately.
