From Now Till Christmas
I think I feel the way we have all been feeling lately. This has been a challenging first quarter of the season. Some strokes of great play (for example the first game of the year) and some games that were very difficult to watch. Well good news is here (kind of).
The Sharks have pretty much ended an extremely dense first quarter of the season the sharks can now look forward to 11 home games out of 15 games between now and Christmas. The quality of competition seems like it will be easier (although as we have witnessed the sharks don't always play good against the bad teams, but can play really well against good teams).
The Sharks record right now is 10-8-2 for a total of 22 points... good, but not good enough when compared to what this organization is used to.
My feelings on the matter are that we are going to feel a lot better about this team when Christmas rolls around. I will guess a record of 19-11-5 when Christmas rolls around, and a decent climb up the ladder of teams in the Division.
Well hopefully this is more than just wishful thinking, But nonetheless:
GO SHARKS.

At game time tonight (presuming the entire city of Buffalo is accessible by anything other than sled dog) the Sharks will not only have played the most games in the NHL but they will have played more road games the the Panthers have played total games and they will have played as many road games as the Flyers have played total games. 16 out of 21 games on the road is an NHL record and that's not to mention four back to backs with at least the second game being on the road. Someone in Toronto from the schedule makers office is from Anaheim and they managed to slip this in and get it approved without anyone calling them on it. West Coast teams are already saddled with the burden of having to travel further than other teams on a more regular basis, this compounds that to the point that I'm just happy we have a competitive point total and positive goal differential.
i doubt it was done on purpose to fuck us over. if anything, its probably better for us, since a majority of the mid to late season will now be played at home when we need that final playoff push.
Really? You don't actually believe there's an Anaheim based spy threat active in Toronto with the soul purpose of destroying the San Jose franchise from the top down. The war has been going on longer than you think, take off your blinders, look around, then get out your tin foil hat and hit the trenches.
Edit: I'm just realizing I may have been kidding the first time around and don't think there's a secret plot against the Sharks, disregard above instructions.
If you don't believe there's a secret conspiracy headed by a collusion between Toronto and Anaheim that's been going on for years, then you're not a real sharks fan.
I like you. Additionally my tin foil hat is in the shape of Jonathan Quick falling on his ass outside of the crease, what's yours?
