It's great to finally see the Sharks in the final. I don't really care whether the Pens or the Bolts make it, I just hope that whoever it is loses.

That was an awesome season and I loved it. Last game was kind of a downer but them's the breaks. This is also going to be a busy and hopefully entertaining offseason for the Blues but we can all be absolutely certain that Blues SAS posters will hate everything that happens.

Are any of us capable of happiness or an emotion aside from hate or crippling disappointment? In actuality though, I'm still happy we made it as far as we did and knocked out the Blackhawks and Stars. Just need a few days (and some alcohol) to get over it to be prepared to watch the Sharks beat the Pens (or the Bolts, but I really hope for the Pens).

I'm a Bay Area kid who liked the Sharks since they started up. But the last game I went to was that playoff game a few years back where they gave up 3 consecutive 5 on 3 goals and I couldn't take it anymore. That sequence broke my heart pretty thoroughly. Is it... is it safe yet? Should I go back into my hole waiting for them to disappoint me again? Would I be no better than a bandwagoner at this point? vibratingsheep fucked around with this message at 16:27 on May 26, 2016 |

Bandwagoners are good despite what "die hard" sports fans will say.

With the Sharks you're only safe when the series is 3-0, and they have a lead in game 4 that's physically impossible to give up. And even then, you still have to be a little concerned.

Hooray Sharks, really happy the team and their fans got to celebrate their first conference win on home ice, that was great. Man, teams I've rooted for are 12/13 so far, with the sole exception being the Panthers losing to the Isles. Pretty good playoffs!

Or you could be stoked even if we lose. If you looked at us last summer we had ABSOLUTELY NO GOD drat BUSINESS GETTING THIS FAR What a ride!

Wilson was actively trying to punt both Thornton and Marleau just a year ago like really loving trying and he was making GBS threads on him, and we had john scott and that other punchman I can't remember and SCOTT loving HANNAN and who the gently caress else was on defense I can't even remember. Also Nemo and STALOCK IN NET STALOCK WE PLAYED STALOCK. What an awesome turn around

Also Nemo and STALOCK IN NET STALOCK WE PLAYED STALOCK. This is why I will never, ever, ever not hate Doug Wilson. I don't care if the Sharks win the Cup, I will hate him forever more. From the year he did exactly dick at the TDL to this summer actively trying to sabotage the team, he's also done a lot of good things but he's clearly just a total dick who has no plan and no real idea what's going on or what the team actually needs. In some ways his tactical competence at trades and acquisitions makes his macro-level strategic idiocy all the more enraging. gently caress Doug Wilson.

I'm a Ducks fan since the Disney movies came out, I liked the Sharks back then too, but living in SoCal has jaded me. I have thoroughly taught my 6 year old that the Sharks are cheaters and chokers. Since the pre-season started last/this year, they have looked very different. I've been a closet Sharks fan this year and my kids think I'm a traitor that roots for cheaters now, whoops. I want to tell you it's safe, but as Ducks fan I can tell you it is never safe to put a lot of hope in a couple dozen guys. Go....Sharks!

His agent makes a huge demand in the offseason, Bolts reject it, trade him and an AHL forward to Pittsburgh for Kessel and his contract, Murray and spare parts.

Yes, start your injury prone goalie with no lights out backup. This worked swimmingly for the Stars over the past five seasons.

If the Pens make the Finals and lose to the Sharks I won't even be that mad. I'll just be sad that Philip "Hotdogs" Kessel will not get to fill the bowl with ketchup and relish for dipping.

Option 1: several thousand fans definitely watch a game at a watch party Option 2: stop the watch party, and those same people may or may not watch the game at home Of course the NHL chose option 2.

Wouldn't the people at the watch party actually be better viewers than people at home? They'd have to watch the commercials that NBC is trying to sell because they can't change the channel or go get a beer from the fridge
