Minnesota Wild at San Jose Sharks, Mar 5, 2009 9:30 PM CST
San Jose Sharks (42-11-9) vs. Minnesota Wild (30-27-5)
HP Pavilion @ 9:30 CST
Television: FSN
Radio: Listen Live
For the San Jose perspective, check out Fear the Fin or Battle of California
Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
San Jose Sharks |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Burns - Schultz Backstrom |
Marleau - Thornton - Setoguchi Boyle - Murray Boucher |
NOTES:
- Minnesota is in 11th in the West, but is within three points of seventh.
- Evgeni Nabokov has missed the last three games with the flu, and Brian Boucher has given up seven goals in consecutive losses.
- Minnesota has given up a conference-low 2.35 goals per game.
- Backstrom had lost all six of his career starts against San Jose before winning on Dec. 31.
- The Wild have lost four straight in San Jose.
- Patrick Marleau leads the Sharks with 34 goals, conversely Owen Nolan leads the Wild with 17.
Questions to Answer
- With Boucher in net, Moen and Huskins not yet in the fold, Roenick, Grier and Lemieux injured have the Wild gotten a break?
- Will the Sharks get retribution for the loss on New Years Eve?
- Do the Sharks snap out of their offensive slump?
- Will this be an 0-fer west coast trip?
- Will the team be inspired at all by the new member... wait ... they didn't do anything?

Great Question
My Guess…As much as I want Pittsburghs most recent coach or Barry Melrose…It will probably be Mike Ramsey.
Honestly
I think it’s going to be Kevin Constantine, unless Risebrough gets the can. If he does, then all bets are off.
The problem is, GMs aren’t fired too frequently in the NHL
Melrose?
What kinda coach would he be? Experience wise…

The difference
Every time the sharks put on pressure, they have 3 or 4 guys in the zone. When the wild go on offense, they have 1 or 2.
Can’t win with those numbers.
FFS
It only took the FSN douchebags 2 minutes to say who scored the fucking goal. Greenlay and Terhaar must die.
It's amazing
The Sharks keep pressuring the net instead of shooting from the point, and guess what? They create chances!
Well Hot Damn...a reason for me to not go crashing back to the pillow...
Maybe we can pull this one out
Ok, I am home
sitting in the dark… wife watching some dumb show… keep me updated…

Wholy Crap
Edina Beats 26-1 Bloomington Jefferson in the Section 2 AA Championship game in High School Hockey Action 5 rip.
Edina is the best team in the state
No matter the Jags record, Edina has the best line in the state, and that line can play 30 minutes a night.
And Dont Forget
This is an Edina team that is Missing Gopher Recruit Zach Budish this season due in an Injury…Imagine how More Deadly that Team would be with Budish in the Mix…Yikes.
Section Finals
1A – Lourdes 3-2 Red Wing
8A – Warroad 3-2 TRF
2AA – Edina 5-0 Bloomington Jefferson
3AA – Cretin 2-1 Apple Valley
6AA – Eden Prairie 4-2 Minnetonka
7AA – Duluth East 4-1 Elk River
8AA- Moorhead 5-2 Roseau
2A – Breck 7-2 Mound Westonka
5A – St Cloud Cathedral 5-1 Hermantown
6A – Little Falls 3-2 Alexandria
7A – Virginia 3-1 Hibbing
Scoring change on first wild goal
1st Period
San Jose 11:23, Joe Pavelski 19 (Ryane Clowe, Milan Michalek)
San Jose 15:15, Ryane Clowe 22 (Rob Blake, Milan Michalek)
2nd Period
San Jose 9:00, Joe Pavelski 20 (Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Milan Michalek)
Minnesota 17:52, Mikko Koivu 17 (Marc-Andre Bergeron, Brent Burns)
Minnesota 19:18, Pierre-Marc Bouchard 15 (Kim Johnsson)
Pavelski looks like he wants that hatty pretty bad

Last year
Went to the Sharks game… people sitting behind us screaming “JOEY!” All damn game long. Finally, about half way through the third we started making fun of the one lady who was screaming it like she was at a Backstreet Boys concert… the yelling stopped.

Atta boy
Nick Schultz was really working Thornton over, but my god Thornton is a beast with the puck
BIG WIN FOR THE WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They didn’t show up until about 5:00 into the second period, but they counter attacked really nicely tonight.
I think I may have yelled too loud
Woke the baby up.
Damn.
OK, gotta go. Night all.
