Quick Robin! Stand Around and Do Nothing!
Swamps are BAD!
Hockey: Which team will show up tonight? I cannot handle the ups and downs of this series, so I am going to the bar to drink and hopefully not think about hockey (much). For some reason, my team does better when I don’t do anything to show my support of them… it’s a weird superstition.
The Sharks have been up, then down, then up, then down in this series… I hope tonight they’re back up. I’m trying to be optimistic. Really. If the Sharks lose, Hinan will spend days, possibly even weeks (seriously… it takes him that long), trying to come up with a joke. It’ll be brutal. Mostly because my retort will take me mere seconds and will probably make Hinan cry.
If they win, I get to send Hinan The Picture That Makes Him Crazy and maybe some others of the Leafs, Canucks and Flames golfing. Order in the universe will be maintained.
The last time I wrote a rant, Los Tiburones won a key game. I’m not saying I’m magic, like Jesus, but I’ll try anything.
Notes for the Sharks:
-
Skate like you mean it.
-
Put big bodies in front of Kipper and fire away. You guys are the biggest team in the league. Use your size to your advantage.
-
Give the puck to Marleau and Clowe and let everyone feed off their energy, effort and drive.
-
Hit everything.
-
Defense: Pick up your man in the defensive zone… stop standing around watching the puck carrier.
-
Scratch Michalek.
-
Play 60 minutes. Or more than that if it goes into OT. It shouldn’t need to if you play 60.
-
You lost momentum last game. Go back in and get it back in the first five minutes. Do something that gets the crowd jacked up early.
Of course, if they do win, I’ll have to deal with Portard AKA Mr. Casual Hockey Fan AKA “Oh, the Stars won last night? How about that!” But then I like Portard because at least the verbal sparring is on equal footing.
Oh, and the Sharks will have had advanced. That would be awesome.
