I don't have problems with folks who moved here from other places still holding the torch for their home teams, but Northern Californians who cheer for non- local teams at the local games run a risk of getting deported. Oh My God. Well, the noise levels of the folks in red started to get drowned out by a wave of teal feeding frenzy. When Patrick Marleau, that darling boy, scored the eventual game winner with under six minutes to go in the third, I was a nervous wreck until the horn sounded and our mini miracle on ice was a reality. San Jose Sharks 5, Detroit Red Wings 4.
Life is good sometimes.
Yesterday at work, I was talking real husky because I had screamed like a banshee at the game. Well, I was wondering if I'd get to see another win against the smogland scum. And Bernie Nicholls was a mighty warrior to behold, slamming the foe into the boards. As a fourth-generation native of the Bay Area, it is my duty to cheer against any LA team. We had an excellent streak going into this game where Anaheim was 0 for San Jose this season.
