Fingers Crossed

So I’m headed to the Sharks game tonight…and I gotta tell you, I’m a little nervous. Yes, that’s right, I said it…I’m nervous. I’ve never been to a playoff game before…and the thing that I’m worried about isn't the crazy fans, the high cost for food, or the traffic mess in and out of the tank, I'm actually really worried about…(wait for it…) getting all excited for the game, going to the game pumped up and talking smack, only to see the Sharks lose and suck it up. I mean, did you see the game on Wednesday night? It really sucked. Game 1 of the playoffs and the Sharks have home field advantage, more experienced players, and plenty of chances to score...and what do they do? With less than a couple minutes left in the 3rd period, they let the Avs score and win the freakin' game. Are you kidding me?

I know, I know, what kind of fan am I if I’m thinking, much less talking, about them losing again? But you know what? I’m being realistic. I mean, they're already one game behind, they're not really known for doing that well under pressure, and they sucked it up last year in the playoffs too. It's true, the Sharks went into the playoffs last year with the best record…and what happened? Yeah, they got knocked out in the first round by those damn Ducks. It sucked. Granted, it would’ve sucked even more if I had been at any of those games. But still. I'm gonna be there tonight.

You fuckin’ Sharks better win tonight. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
