Welcome Back Former Sharks – Now We Kick Your Ass
December 2nd, 2008, 8:13 am
Tonight marks Ron Wilson, Rob Zettler, Tim Hunter and Vesa Toskala’s first return to San Jose since they were all let go by our mastermind Doug Wilson. We welcome them back to the Tank tonight with open arms, I expect all of these men to get a huge ovation out of respect for their contributions to the Sharks over the years. I hold no animosity towards Ron Wilson. His system just plain didn’t match the talent Doug Wilson had in the cupboard. Plain and simple. I will give him a nice round of applause and then join my fellow Sharks fans in hoping we kick the Maple Leafs ass all the way back to Canada.
You don’t think this game has been circled on both teams calendars since the beginning of the year? This is Patrick Marleau’s chance to kick Ron Wilson in the nuts, and I have no doubt that he will show up and be tonight’s number one star. Ron Wilson will see first hand what the San Jose Sharks could have been and are this year, a legit Stanley Cup contender.
So I welcome back the former Sharks, except for Mark Bell who was here last summer serving prison time, so he’s already had a homecoming. Plus, he’s playing in the AHL for the Toronto Marlies right now. Say hi to Kyle McLaren for me, Mark.
Welcome back to San Jose boys. Now watch us kick your ass. Go sit in the corner and cry about what could have been. The Sharks are really good at bringing back former teammates, having them over for dinner and then crushing their hopes and dreams. This is my favorite quote of the year.
“I had a little dinner at Joe’s last night. It was good to see my old bedroom.” – Brian Campbell.
What are you, a six year old girl? “It was good to see my old bedroom”. Is Joe your mother? Dan Boyle makes his own bed, Brian. I heard he can even eat a PBJ sandwich, with the crust still on. I think I hear Patrick Kane honking the horn outside, Brian. Your ride is here.
SHARKS 5 LEAFS 2

A+ for the enthusiasm, but lighten up dude. What are you an 8-year old boy?
Loved that last part of the post today – had a hard time holding my laugh here at the office.
This is a game I have long been waiting for. I can’t wait to see Ronnie in the 3rd period walking back and forth with his arms folded without saying anything to anyone when we’re up by 5 goals with a hat trick from the Captain.
We have to win this game, if we don’t I’m sorry guys I am going into witness protection because I’ll never hear the end of it 🙂
Juicy,
Nice to see a new name around here. But careful with grier- he’s actually 9 and 3/4, and will throw his Hannah Montana action figures at you.
I loved this post. It is so true that we HAVE to win tonight. Please remember that the Leafs’ new GM is on their road trip with them getting to know the team. They came back and won last night. The “heart” they are playing with can’t last long so lets take it away from them in this game, plus lets help them get closer for the Traveras sweepstakes by winning the game. I really don’t want to listen to my husband make fun of my team because his team beat mine all the while they suck this year.
The Leafs are under-rated, and Toskala is hot right now. I’d say the Sharks under-estimate the opponent, and in their over-exuberance one of them injures a hand while trying to push it through the back of Ryan Hollweg’s face.
Sharks 3-2 in a shootout.
Well its end of the first and its 4-0 Sharks.
First… to hell with rogers sportsnet for blacking it out. Thank god for the internet. Grier you nailed the score man way to go! Most importantly I am not going into witness protection.
grier, nice job on predicting the final score of the game!
I was pretty amased when they ended up scoring with 30 something seconds left int he game to arrive at your predicted score.
I recorded the game so my husband can watch it, lol. Its funny because SportsNet kept talking about how the Leafs won the 2nd and 3rd periods. Who cares they lost the game. Guess they have to find something good in their awful season.
I guess there’s only two guys who read this article as a cheap, tabloid piece.
“Welcome back to San Jose boys. Now watch us kick your ass. Go sit in the corner and cry about what could have been. ”
What is that?
“What are you, a six year old girl? “It was good to see my old bedroom”. Is Joe your mother? Dan Boyle makes his own bed, Brian. I heard he can even eat a PBJ sandwich, with the crust still on.”
Weird.
Bush league.
I have to agree with you, Teddy. Who writes this bush league, tabloid trash?
Read the Wall Street Journal, meat.
I’ll translate for grier: the post is snark, and meant to be taken as humor. You do have a sense of humor, don’t you?
