I wrote a big email to the Long Beach City Council today asking that they pursue the Las Vegas AHL team, here's hoping I just brought back the Long Beach Ice Dogs

Okay, so what the hell is up with these pockets of empty seats in the lower bowl throughout the entire period.
I mean, the team has won the division like five times in the last decade, just got to the Finals for the first time, are almost second in the conference and we still can't sell out the prime seats on TV? The fuck is going on?

Yea, I think Irbe has a good point - in the few highlights I've seen at Kings games, they always seem to have a packed crowd
Granted they are benefitting from snowbirds, but considering how consistent San Jose has been since I've been rooting for them, which is going on 14 years now, I find it weird that they aren't really considering the Bay Area's hockey team. Sure, transplants will keep their hometown roots, but you have San Jose, Frisco and Oakland all within an hour or so drive. It just seems inexcusable to me.

The thing is that those tickets are, generally, all sold
It's just that they are being used. Bad optics, but the Sharks still are getting paid for the seats. Certainly, the 2015 debacle didn't help much.

I read a thing about smaller conference champs normally only getting 11 or 12 seeds
And Major conference schools still get 4 or 5 seeds and well ... get upset
Faceoffs do not matter... until they do.

If any fan is upset about 2015, then they shouldn't have spent any money on playoff merch last year
Outside of winning the damn thing, the Sharks have given the Bay as good of a run as any team, anywhere. Just hate seeing people not be able to watch the game and cheer the boys on

Steve Castle: Gutsy question. You're a shark. Sharks are winners and they don't look back 'cause they don't have necks. Necks are for sheep.

Given that what happens in the regular season doesn't necessarily translate to the playoffs,
here's the Sharks record so far against potential playoff opponents:
ANA 2-2-0 (1 game remaining)
EDM 2-1-0 (2 GR)
CGY 1-2-0 (2 GR)
LAK 3-1-1 (0 GR)
CHI 2-1-0 (0 GR)
MIN 0-2-0 (1 GR)
NSH 1-1-0 (1 GR)
STL 1-1-0 (last game tonight)
