Save-d!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Even the Pontiff is getting in the hockey spirit this holiday season. Here's hoping his holiness pulled that red sweater over her noggin and gave her a season's beatings.

Intent To Blow

Just like Jamie, I laughed. Then I cried. Hey refs, I've got something you can intend to blow.

Decapatation

TONS of good stuff on WTC today, including the requisite Heatley-Ottawa stuff, Patty's 900th(!) game as a Shark, and this ridiculousness. Sucks for Vokoun:

As for tonight's game, make sure to give Cheech and Milan a big round of applause, and let's make sure to show the Sens why we were glad to get Dany.

Ha, speaking of post-goal FAIL:

Wacky Ass Game

Was it me or was that game just all over the map?

• Manny Malhotra scores both for, and against, the Sharks
• Pickles gets in his first fight in 265 NHL games, with Danny Briere, his second fight in 606 NHL games.
• Dany Heatley gets his second hat trick of the season (both at home), when the San Jose didn't record a single one during their record-setting 08-09 season. And he wasn't even the 1st star?!?!
• That honor would go to Joe Thornton and his 4 assists, who made all of us look a little bit foolish for yelling "SHOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!"

San Jose leads the NHL standings by 4 points. Duck the Fucks.

Stupid Anaheim Ducks Fans Fight Literally Over A Stick

There's no way to improve on that title:

Nice find by my buddy The Mayor.

Other Blog Round-Up

Nice find by FTF - the top 10 saves made by skaters. Make sure to watch all the way to the end.

While we're at it:

• The Sharks Hockey Analysis guys moved their main blog over to Dudes on Hockey. Check 'em out. They actually know what they're talking about and understand the cap.
• Couch Tarts have been over at Bloguin for a little bit now. Check 'em out. They draw cool pictures and point out funny nicknames.

Straight Whuppin

The San Jose Sharks are the best team in the league.

Welcome back Joe Pavelski.
