VS.
Every once in a while, real life rears it ugly head and keeps Gray from being able to get a game day post out. When that sad thing happens, something awesome occurs: Mina gets to make a Game Day Post!!! While my artistic skills are severely lacking, I scour the internet looking for relevant photos for you our dear reader. (It look me close to 14 pages of results to find this awesome Hurricane picture. All for you kids. The Whale Shark is a tribute to our dear friend Mr. K, who apparently really wanted to see one during his visit to Atlanta.)
Today's game is at the ungodly hour of 10.30. I was planning to be up anyway to watch my Niners play my AFC team, the Colts. I'm hoping for wins in both but I'm more optimistic about the Sharks than I am about the Niners.
The Canes are having a rough start to their season, having only collected 2 wins and 7 points 12 games into their season. In fact, they have lost 8 in a row, 3 of them in OT. This looks like a game that the Sharks could win easily, but they have a nasty habit of not kicking teams when they are down. There are several players on the Canes that are underachieving and looking for a breakout game. Cam Ward's numbers aren't bad this season and he sat last game, with hot Michael Leighton getting lit up by the Flyers for 6 goals.
What does this all mean? It means the Sharks still need to be on their game and do what they do best in order to win. Solid goaltending, physical play, and winning faceoffs. And scoring first. And Nabby keeping his legs closed. And Clowe staying hot. And me waking up in time to see the game. Should be easy. Go Sharks.
Gray should be back for the next Game Day post. We won't subject you to me too often.
