My Ears Are Still Ringing

The Sharks played in game 6 like they didn’t really want to win that bad, and they did a full 180 degree turn tonight. The first few shifts were well-contested, but slowly, inexorably, it became clear the Sharks expected to win, and were willing to do what it took to win. JR had four points, and provided all the emotion that the team was lacking on Sunday. I don’t buy that crap that Ron Wilson sat JR because he was tired. I hope Wilson doesn’t make that mistake again. JR is incalcuably more valuable than Jody Shelley, although I do like Shelley very much.
The two obvious areas that the Sharks improved on were faceoffs and special teams, but I don’t think I’ll tackle that discussion just yet. It’s time to pop a brew and enjoy it.
Cheers.

What a way to end a good series. Not much time to celebrate as Dallas is ready to go, and unfortunately it looks like Zubov is back for them.
Cheers!
Great game, it was awesome sitting in grier’s seat (sorry buddy.) I’m hoarse and still have an annoying and concerning ringing in my ears. I love live hockey.
I want to jump on the JR worshipping bandwagon for a moment. Not sure if it was on TV or if anyone at the game caught it, but there was a moment, I believe in the second during our feeding frenzy,, that there was a faceoff right in front of us in 124 and Jumbo was tossed. He started barking at the linesman and JR stepped in to take the faceoff. Before he did he calmly told each and every Sharks on the ice to calm down. And they did. That was the moment I knew the game was over and we had more Sharks hockey to enjoy this season.
Thank you JR. Thank you Sharks. I feel sorry for the Stars.
