So I went with some Army buddies to Dallas to watch the Sharks. They lost in overtime, but it was still an awesome experience. They aren't kidding about the playoff atmosphere and croud. It was awesome! This was my first playoff game ever, so it was cool.
This marks every arena in the Pacific Division for me. The Sharks are in the Pacific, and I have seen them play in San Jose many times, Anahim twice, Los Angeles thrice, Phoenix four times, and now Dallas once.
By the way, I was threatened by some fans during the second intermission. They tried to start a fight because I was wearing a Sharks jersey. Little did they know that I hadn't been drinking (which is normal for me), and I'm in the Army, and so are my buddies. I just sopped paying attention to him, but kept him in my perifial just in case.
The other arenas I've been to, there are more Sharks fans than opposing team fans, so you don't have to worry about stuff like that.
I'll post some pictures soon. I remembered to bring my camera, but left it in the car, drat! My friend took some pictures with his phone which he said he would email me. When he does that I'll post them.
It's easy to get playoff tickets in Dallas. In San Jose they sell out in four hours. I bouht mine 48 hours after they had gone on sale and still ended up with a good seat.
The game was great, we should have won. The ref lost sight of the puck and called the play dead just before we scored. Our defense was great, but the Sharks ran out of gas in the Third. The shorthanded goal by Marleau was incredible. The refs took that one away from us. I hope the Sharks will be the third team in histor to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win. I don't know if they have it in them, but I do hope. Last night gave me an inkling of hope.
Go Sharks!!!

Did you see last night's game? The one that went on for like 5 hours or something??
Yes, by the time it ended it was a disapointing Monday morning. I loved the heart that the boys showed. They are a better team than Dallas, they should never have lost the first 3 games in the first place.
I did like seeing them fight though. I hope they resign Roenick, what a playoff hero. They need to figure it out. I know they can do it, they just need to put together a solid performance when it counts.
