Divine Intervention

Sunday, April 13th - The San Jose Sharks lose in heartbreaking and historic fashion, choking away a 3 goal lead to the Calgary Flames. The 4-3 loss drops them to 1-2 in the best-of-seven series, with another difficult road game looming poised to push the Sharks to the brink of elimination. It seems only a miracle will save them now...

Tuesday morning, April 15th - A miracle arrives...

Close, Your Holiness, but move your hands
up and down for The Chomp, not side to side.

Tuesday night, April 15th - The Sharks get miracle goals from Cheechoo and Thornton to even the series at 2-2.

Thursday night, April 17th - San Jose overcomes a satanic pact between Calgary and NHL officiating to take a 3-2 series lead.

Mere coincidence the Papal visit and the Sharks series turnaround happened at the same time? Think matters of sport are of no interest to His Holiness?

Think again.

Hat tip to Kenny for inspiring this post. Without his help, I would have never found a picture of a Pope holding a hockey stick, and for that I am forever indebted. Read his thougts at Ken's Thougts.
