And people wonder why I'm such a defeatist when it comes to the Sharks.

The subtitle on this thread is a lyric from a song.

This song was used at the end of episodes of The Adventures of Pete & Pete that came to a hopeful conclusion. It sums up my mood.

In this sense "She" is the Stanley Cup and she is, at this moment, unattainable. I'm not sad. That's not the right word, because I expected to lose to the Penguins. I'm more proud of the team and I'm hopeful for the future and this season and playoff series has been very encouraging.

Sharks have quit

Just like they do every year. This isn't at all surprising.

Remember also how the Sharks were up 3-0 on Detroit in 2011, let the Red Wings force a game 7, and then won in a great game 7. Coming back from 3-0 in hockey is not as absurd an idea as it is in the other sports that play series. See also: Boston-Philly 2010, Vancouver-Chicago 2011

Man, the 2011 playoffs were really really good.

I am smart.

This team is a disgrace.

When are they not?

Yet, the Sharks will prevail in Game 7. Fans will jump back onboard, only to get tortured again by their boys in teal in the next round. Count on it.

Seriously, I don't get how any LA fan could've been in any way unhappy after Game 4. They won, they stayed alive, they have a championship pedigree and winning four in a row is not impossible.

Here we are now on the precipice of Game 7. The good news for the Sharks? Much like against Detroit in 2011, they are at home for that game. They blew 3-0 in 2011 but won Game 7. They should be given reasonable odds to win that game. Me? Not a chance I'm picking against Los Angeles but, then again, I picked Los Angeles at the outset of this series so of course I'm not picking against them.

Niemi or Stalock? I hope the answer is obvious.

Sharks fans: Fire McLellan?

Contraction is probably best at this point.

What bothers me, is the body language I've seen from San Jose since game 4. I didn't watch the game live, but I taped a replay and what I saw was a frustrated and defeated team at the end of the game. It's like they knew they couldn't win another game. I realize anything can happen in game 7's, but the body language from the Sharks seems like they gave up after losing game 4.

I mean last year they fought hard till the end, despite the fact that they were down a couple of players and forced Quick to stop them in Game 7. The year before, honestly, they weren't that good.

The Sharks have to go back to Niemi, right? I thought that was a panic move before, but you know what? This is a panicked team.

BTW, I want San Jose on Wednesday. I, as a Ducks fan, want no part of the Kings now.

Remember after Game 3, there were a lot of people reaffirming the Sharks as their Stanley Cup pick and that it might finally be destiny? Told you all that was jumping the gun.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me.
