Cleveland Bound

"1,000,000 bottles of beer on the wall 1,000,000 bottles beer! If one those bottles..." That's what the Sharks will be singing (we'll just call it that, it sounds more like donkey slaughter) for 5 hours as we head from Toronto to Cleveland for a hockey tournament tomorrow. We have gotten better as the tournament approached, tying with George Bell on Saturday 2-2 then losing a mere 1-0 to North Toronto, one of the leagues strongest teams, yesterday. If the teams in the tournament are weaker than the ones we are used to playing then victory is surely ours! Other than playing hockey the Sharks will go watch a Lake Erie Monsters play the Rockwell Icehogs, which are AHL teams. There is also a possibility of going to the Rock n' Roll hall of fame. See ya' in Cleveland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 Stars vs. North Toronto

Honorable Mention: Pants, for playin' through the pain.

Eight Year Olds Gone Crazy

I know, I know, I'm only the 1,000,000th person to talk about this, but this is the weirdest thing ever! The game was between Duffield and Niagara Falls. It all started when Duffield went out to congratulate their goalie for an 8-1 win. The kids at centre had gotten into a pushing match. Then all the Duffield kids went to centre ice and joined the shoving. Some of the Niagara Falls kids hopped the bench and then their coach opened the door to let the rest of them out and it turned into a full-fledged hockey brawl. The video at the top of the blog doesn't show it, but one dad was actually screaming "Go get 'em!". Then a hockey mom from the bad part of Niagara went on to the scene after the brawl and started punching one of the coaches. That was (pop tarts) CRAZY BAD!

21st PLACE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sharks have scored their 1st point of the 07/08 campaign a tie against the George Bell Titans!
After allowing a goal in the first period the Sharks climbed back and scored 2 in the second while conceding 1. The dying seconds of the game were extremely dramatic, Wesley L. had a spectacular breakaway chance in the last 30 seconds.
From now on I will have a 3 stars of the game :
Star #1:Wesley L.
Star#2:Chris G.
Star#3:Alexander G.

Leafs in BIG Trouble

As you may have noticed I live Toronto so I'm talking a lot about the Leafs. I know there is not much to talk about, only the fact that they stink, but since everything that happens with the Leafs makes headlines around here it's hard to find news about anything else. So here is some Leaf news.
Right now the the Leafs are in big trouble and not just your normal big I'm talkin' Hal Gill sized trouble. In fact Hal Gill is involved. During a practice after Saturday's 5-1 loss to Phoenix, Gill and newcomer Jason Blake exchanged blows. Now, when it is do-or-die for the Leafs, the team turns on each other instead of finding strength in numbers, they are DOOMED. This is resulting in talk of firing GM John Ferguson Jr. and coach Paul Maurice (which wouldn't help at all).

The Sharks were hoping for revenge against Avenue Road. We decided to use a new strategy, Phase 1 : We would lull the Ducks into a sense of false security by allowing them to score 8 or 9. Phase 2 : Strike with a merciless barrage of sudden goals. We executed phase 1 of the plan perfectly, unfortunately phase 2 didn't go so well.
Next up : The George Bell Doohickeys face certain defeat at the hands of the awesome Humber Valley Sharks.

The Great Big Gloat

What did I say??? Oh yeah, that Pogge stinks compared to Rask and Raycroft is a bench warmer! Then on Wednesday what happens? Raycroft is sitting on the bench Pogge is in the minors and Rask wins his first NHL start! And did I mention Rask was FIRST STAR, I am psychic! John Ferguson Jr. is doomed, that is embarrassing! I wonder what Leaf fans are thinking,(I don't know I'm not a Leaf fan) but one thing's for sure the Leaf Nation is angry! JF Jr. won't like the Leaf Nation when it's angry!

Despite two spectacular periods of hockey the Sharks allowed two in the third and the York Mills Muffin Men prevailed yet again (sigh). Peter B. did deliver a crushing body check that that left the York Mills player crying for his mommy (well it's something).

Hockey on Saturday

Strangely enough the Leafs beat the Sens 3-0, Vesa Toskala getting his first SO as a Leaf. Even more strange Bryan McCabe played well, recording 2 assists. Jason Spezza had an off game which was one of the reasons the Leafs won. In other games Martin Brodeur recorded his 500th win joining Patrick Roy as only the 2nd goalie to reach 500. He and his Devils convincingly defeated the Flyers 6-2. In his first game as a Coyote Ilya Bryzgalov shutout the LA kings. If this keeps up Pheonix will gain some much needed goalie help. Some advice to the LA GM, get Jose Theodore. You have no starting goalie and Theodore is looking to revive his career. LA would be the perfect place for that. Here's one reason to fire Leaf's GM, John Ferguson Jr. The guy he got for goaltending prospect Tuuka Rask, Andrew Raycroft, is sitting on the bench, while Rask gets ready for his first NHL start. He could have traded Justin Pogge, another goalie prospect, but Pogge was Canadian so he ruled that out. Now Pogge is the AHL backup. This stupid move makes Ferguson look dumb now...OR DOES IT? You decide in my poll.

After some encouraging signs in the game against the Ducks (What's with all the horns Avenue Road parents? Are you five years old?) the Sharks suffered ignominious defeat at the hands of York Mills. The faithful continue to ask - when will the real Sharks show up?
