15 minute meltdown, Kipper flubs the quick turn around shot by Prucha, Gio gets pwned by Pyatt!?!?, no goal support and the Nashville game is history long ago. Lame.

Kipper count.

Let’s not ho hum into San Jose please, otherwise what should be a great road trip could go off the rails in a hurry if we’re taking a two game losing streak into LA.

Too many soft plays last game.

Thinking about this game in San Jose and playing against Heatley, Marleau, Thornton makes me want to curl up in a ball and die. I can’t remember the last time I was so nervous about a regular season game.

I said it in the game thread, but the penalties to Regehr and Moss were just embarrassingly bad calls by the officials. Yeah, we got lucky on the quick whistle on the first pk, but the Coyotes likely would not have scored their first goal if the officials don’t make such an atrocious penalty call on Regehr. In the end, the same result: a horrible penalty affected how the game was played.

The third period was the most disappointing. Even though we were up 5-2 in shots at one point, it just had that feeling. I was hoping we could get it to overtime, but thanks to a few boneheaded plays on one shift, highlighted by Giordano’s wonderful pylon impression, we couldn’t quite get there.

Hope the Flames get a good sniff of California because they won’t like what’s waiting for them when they get back here.

I will be in attendance tonight.
I am convinced that the big three media darlings on the Sharks (H-T-M) love it in SJ …. because they are removed from a hockey-intense atmosphere, where the media don’t get in their face and make them accountable. Oh … and also the incredible weather here LOL.
The fans here (yes they are loud), are used to regular season dominance and flashy hockey. The End.

Shelley is out of the lineup tonight … I’m just hoping the Flames don’t play McGrattan. Not a big fan anyway … now it would be a huge waste for him to be out there. If the Flames have their game they had in Nashville and crank it up a notch … could be a dandy. I’ll take Kipper over Nabokov any day of the week and into the playoffs. adthe.net is free but it sure ain’t nothing compared to being there.
