San Jose Sharks Win Big Game 7

Last night at the San Jose Arena, aka The Shark Tank, our beloved hockey team sent the Calgary Flames packing with a big time Game 7 victory. Why was it so big? Because the Sharks have been playoff underachievers for quite some time now. They’ve had Stanley Cup dreams several times entering the post-season, and have always managed to be one of those squads that just can’t quite get it done, ala the Dallas Mavericks or Phoenix Suns in the NBA.

If the Sharks had been defeated last night against Calgary, it is my contention that the team would have suffered dearly next season, simply by tacking on yet another year of failed glory. The well will always run dry of hope after a long enough period of blown chances. I’m not saying that the Sharks are now definitely headed to the Cup; it’s just a damn good thing they didn’t fuck that series up, being the 2 seed and all.

Favorite moments of the matchup would have to be the Game 4 comeback, and then Jeremy Roenick’s go-ahead wrister last night. But really, it’s all about San Jose announcer Randy Hahn’s Game 4 call of the Sharks second and third goals. If you don’t want to watch this entire clip, just shoot forward to 1:15 for first class sports broadcasting.
