Death Watch '08

Haven't had much to say about the series since Game 3. I figure there's not a lot to talk about when the only thing that matters is winning - winning every game, every period, every faceoff.

So to entertain you, the non-mainstream Sharks blog readers out there, I've been bringing you the latest omens and witchcraft affecting San Jose's wild ride through the playoffs. We've had visits from the pontiff, voodoo referees, actual shark attacks, and now this:

"A 30-year-old dolphin at Sea World has died after colliding with another dolphin while performing aerial tricks, the Orlando, Florida, amusement park said Monday."

CNN continues...

"The dolphin who died was named Sharky."

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Another Shark-related death? Maybe this doesn't count though - dolphins are mammals and his name isn't even spelled right.

Still, I'd feel better get S.J. into the witness protection program.

"Who is that masked mascot, anyways?"
