Yesterday I went to the Sharks/Blackhawks hockey game with Timber's dad and we watched an interesting game. You can watch the video highlights here. The Sharks dominated the entire game by playing solid defense, getting good goaltending from Nabby, passing the puck well, and taking lots of shots (with 20 % of their shots going in the net) to end up scha-lacking the Chicago Blackhawks 7-1. The guy sitting to my right was a Blackhawks fan, and he must have been pretty miserable throughout the game. Billy Guerin ended up getting his first goal as a Shark and then decided to add two more to make it a hat trick. I'm kind of suspicious of the last call which gave him a penalty shot with 12 seconds left to go in the game but at the end of the day 6-1 or 7-1 doesn't really matter. All I can say is that I hope the Blackhawks learned something from this experience and get better. I generally like to watch competitive hockey games but I'll take a blowout like this every now and then as long as the Sharks are the ones winning.
