Second game at the Shark Tank while on vacation. It was round 3 of 8 in the Sharks / Ducks battle for the Pacific Division. The Ducks came in 10 points ahead of the Sharks. Nearly a playoff type atmosphere, this was the most thrilling game of the season. Both teams played a fast, tough game. In the end, the Ducks played a little bit harder. The 3-4 loss was the first loss I've been to this year. Sadness.
Sharks goals were scored by Steve Benier, Partick Marleau, and Christian Ehrhoff. In an unexpected move, coach Ron Wilson abandoned his every other game goalie platoon and started Evgeni Nabokov for the 2nd game in a row. It seems the gamble didn't pay off.
Went to the game with my Mom. Seems she didn't think I should be stealing all the season tickets when I come home. What can I say, I think I'm an addict. I also think I'm addicted to cheese steaks. Here's something strange- I think I'd trade a little of the heaps of meat (not a bad thing, don't get me wrong!) for a little more cheese.
Christian Ehrhoff was my star of the game. He played a gritty game on both defence and offence- keeping the Sharks energy high. His season high 28 minutes on ice was an impressive feat as well. Props to Mark Bell for his physical play. Maybe he'll start scoring now. No props for the dude sitting next to me. He was a no-nothing know-it-all who should have kept his mouth shut. Maybe he should try coaching/playing/being a ref before he talks anymore!
