Whose Broad Stripes and Bright BOOOOOOOOO

I look forward to doing that tonight. And it better not be that saxophone player, although he’s good. I’d much rather have the cracking tenor opera singer we had last round, so we can laugh and boo at the same time.
I’m hoping the Sharks can do a little role reversal against the Stars, playing a bit more of Calgary’s style since the Stars’ D are so banged up. Somehow, it has to be done without the dump and chase. Turco is a little bastard wizard out there when the puck comes his way. If anything, a soft dump to the goal line, and start the grind in the corners.
I’m not too worried about the PK coming back- Dallas doesn’t have the same type of PP. I am a little worried about the games being mind-crushingly dull though- Dallas has a way of slowing everything down. Even though it’s the playoffs, I have a feeling after the pumped up game 7 we witnessed, we might get a fairly subdued crowd tonight. But it’s Friday night at least. Drink 8 beers and get rowdy. See y’all there.
Well, it ended in a loss, but I’m still a lot more optimistic about the Sharks chances. It seems like they had possession most of the time and had a decent amount of chances, but Nabby just had an off night. He seemed to be chasing the puck too much.
Positives:
-Lots of time with the puck tonight
-Sharks seemed to be the more physical team
-Michalek looked pretty good out there
-Setoguchi is still working his butt off out there
-They still didn’t give up when time was winding down, and Cheech worked hard for his goal
