The Sharks’ next game after tonight is up in Seattle and it just occurred to me that in a very different time Amazon basically bought the naming rights to what’s now Climate Pledge Arena; I wonder with Bezos’ lurch to the right they regret that now

“Coal Burning AI Server Farm MAGA Arena” anyone?

As a fan the year offered precious little to get excited about (in a good way, that is)

Not managing to win, ever, for five straight months is not going to sustain enthusiasm for players, fans, sponsors, anybody really

This club has a lot of work to do before their third season kicks off next year

Louisville needed a win against Bay FC in the final regular season game to make the playoffs. They got it, 1-0. The finale for Bay was a bit of a snoozer tbh (time change didn’t help, probably)😴

Bay FC won a match the first week of June, then failed to win even once in Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, & now Nov

Somewhere along the line this stopped being a Halloween costume exercise and became some kind of sponsorship collecting commercial endeavor, but I still love/envy how much Heidi Klum enjoys this stuff and lives out her dreams

if our brains weren’t always being cooked by the horrors of real life this place could be Actually Fun and it’s so nice to get a glimpse of what happens when it is

even if you don’t like baseball this shit was fun, right? everyone getting swept up in the same thing? I missed this

This is a sensational book, one of the best I’ve ever read about Los Angeles history. If you’re the kind of person who appreciates the connections between sports and everything adjacent to sports, hunt down a copy

that was an omen

As I was waiting to exit the parking lot Todd McLellan and the rest of the Red Wings coaching staff walked by my car on the way out to their rental car. Nice to see TMac after all these years and also nice to see the Sharks give visiting coaches a parking spot kind of out on the edge of the lot🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️🚶‍➡️

Sharks celebrate on the ice

You’re not gonna believe this!

SHARKS WIN!

Kurashev’s second of the game sends everyone home with the win - and free tacos! Sharks 3 Avalanche 2

No scoring in the 3rd. BONUS HOCKEY!

Sheesh, elaborated upon bsky.app/profile/shar...

Shots on goal in the first period: 15 - 6 Avs. In the second period: 16 - 5 Avs. Sheesh

The score after 40 minutes, Avs 2 Sharks 2. Above-referenced MacKinnon goal preceded by Kurashev for the Sharks. Sharks continue to struggle getting shots on goal, while Askarov is really really busy. Liljegren did not return. Endless possibilities for the third period! Go Sharks!

In the second period, this happened: bsky.app/profile/real...

I don’t see Liljegren coming out for the second period ☹️

way better choice than a leafs jersey (no offense leaf fan friends but i mean...cmon)

The Avs started on time, the Sharks did not, but Macklin Celebrini’s late goal and big stops from Askarov make it 1-1 at the first intermission. Necas scored at 0:30; I think the shots got to 8-0 before the Sharks came to. Liljegren looked like he took a puck to the head on the bench, hope he’s ok 🤕

It’s the Native American Heritage Celebration today and the Chukchansi Powwow Princess is supervising the drum circle at the north entrance

Sharks warming up before today’s game

I think this is the earliest I’ve ever been in SAP Center for hockey. 1:00 start for the Sharks and the Avalanche. Can these Sharks possibly win two games in a row? We’ll see!

What are the chances that American media forgets completely about Texas after next Tuesday and focuses entirely on redistricting in California, which coverage is then used by non-Texas states controlled by the GOP to justify eliminating as many Democrat-held districts as possible?

Lindsay should put on seminars on how to accompany sports on the organ. I ❤️ this so much

Heck of a thread on the trajectory of things like the thing you’re looking at now

A free slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza if the Sharks score in the last two minutes of the second period

I was worried I was being too subtle. Very happy someone among my scores of followers got the gag! 👹

It was not the Devils’ night. Sharks finally notch a home win, 5-2 over New Jersey. Not only that, but for the second straight game both the tacos and pizza promotions pay off for the fans in attendance

Your correspondent will get another look at the Sharks on Saturday when the Avalanche rolls in
