Ohhhhhhh yessssssss!
Canucks 1 Sharks 4
Tonight's game was crazy. Tonight's game was aggressive. Tonight's came was insane...
TONIGHT'S GAME WAS INTENSE!!!
Big hits/big checks, 3 fights, 2 goals scored in the first 4 minutes of the hockey game, lots... and lots of penalties.
I didn't think there was anyone who hated the Vancouver Canucks as much as I do... well, I was wrong. The Sharks hate the Canucks just as much as I do... especially Ryane Clowe. Holy crap!
The game started out 4 on 4. Yeah, that's right, 4 on 4. Ryane Clowe and Alexandre Burrows both got 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct, before the puck even dropped. Finally, the puck was dropped... and Joe Thornton scored 43 seconds later!!! Vlasic and Stuart got the assists. Less than 3 minutes later, Joe Pavelski scored his first goal of the season (unassisted), making it 2-0 Sharks!! You read that right, the Sharks had a two goal lead, and it wasn't even 4 minutes into the game yet.
Those were the only 2 goals that were scored during the 1st period. The rest of the period was filled with penalties... as well as a 45 second fight between Ryane Clowe and Zack Kassian. That fight was long and sweet... especially since Clowe clearly won it.
I take notes on all of this stuff (yes, I'm a dork) but I'm lazy, so here's a screen cap from the Sharks' official site (http://sharks.nhl.com/club/boxscore), of all the penalties that occurred during the 1st period.
Yeah, Clowe and Stuart were absolute messes during that period.
More so, Clowe.
Alexandre Burrows scored almost midway through the second period (assisted by Hansen), which cut the Sharks' lead in half. That's okay, because Patrick Marleau scored a little over 3 minutes later!!! Oh, yes!! 3-1 Sharks!! Marleau had a little help from Vancouver's goalie (Schneider) but Patty was still credited with the goal.
Ryane Clowe was still a mess during the 2nd period. A giant mess. He acted like a rabid beast.
He was pissed as hell as he walked off the bench to the locker room.
A rabid, hot mess, indeed.
3rd period. Joe Pavelski scored his 2nd goal!! Thornton and Marleau got the assists. That was the only goal scored in the 3rd period but both teams made up for that by fighting. Yeah, we'll just call the 3rd period the fighting period. 2 fights occurred: Douglas Murray vs. Aaron Volpatt at 12:05. Andrew Dejardins vs. Kevin Bieksa at 16:26. Once again, this period was filled with penalties.
Yeah, this game was a mess... but it was absolutely wonderful. ♥
I am proud to be a Sharks fan.
There might've been a lot of physical contact between these two teams, but the Sharks still played it classy.
As my friend Ashley-Marie stated, "Clowe is all about that thug lyfe"... but even so, he is still classier than the Canucks. I hate the Canucks and I'm glad they lost.
ALSO, the Sharks were 7/7 on the PK (penalty kill)... that's pretty much miraculous. Tonight's game marked Niemi's 100th career NHL win, as well as coach McLellan's 200th career win. Sadly, Marleau didn't break the record... but he was damn close in doing so!! Still, he can proudly say that he's 1 of the 2 people to hold the current record.
But yeah, this game was epic. So epic, that I totally forgot those Sedin sisters were prancing around on the ice. hahaha! Seriously. Their names were hardly mentioned... for once they were NOT the main focus of the night. Thank gawd.
The San Jose Sharks are 5-0... still undefeated ♥
*P.S.- I only had to tweet 1 "note"... haha!
