I finally made it to the Shark Tank. I attended the games against Phoenix on 12/18 and Anaheim on 12/20. The game on the 18th was fantastic- kick ass action and J.R. literally kicking ass, stepping in to defend Steve Bernier when he was 3rd manned. J.R. pounded the dude, actually knocking him out. He's a welcome addition of energy and leadership.
Big changes at the Tank. The most noticable, a GIANT new HD scoreboard. This thing is totally amazing. There were a few times I caught myself watching it, even when the action was right in front of me! Changes at concessions in the club, too. You've to go upstairs for cheesesteak now, but the new, freshly prepared sandwiches are worth the change. The chicken club is good stuff!
Went with brother on the 26th to the Staples Center for the Sharks/Kings game. The game was alright, the Sharks dominated in a 3-1 victory.
Behind us, was, without a doubt, the most amusing fan I've ever seen. He was a middle aged man with a Russian accent. He kept shouting the entire game, while also listening to it on the radio. His catchphrase was "For CRYING OutLoud". You'd also hear assorted tidbits like: "Idiots!" "Communicate with each other" "Left, look to your left" "Why do you do that Stuart?" The quote of the night had to be, "Faster. Run faster. What's wrong with you? For CRYING OutLoud!!!!" "Run faster." HA! Run on ice. I love this man. By the end of the game, he was perched over his seat, with his feet on the seat in front of him.
The whole section was filled with characters, actually. SuperFan's kids were nearly as chatty as he was, though sadly without accent. Another dude starting singing "All we are saying...is give us a fight" totally randomly. The guy in front of Scott was pointing at shit the whole game. Who knows what he was trying to show his friend. Section 309, sit there.
