Yesterday Josh came over and watched the hockey game with me. The Sharks beat St. Louis in the second overtime period. Because the game was in St. Louis it started at 4:30 PM Pacific Time, so we planned to go out to eat after the game, but we had not planned on overtime. Especially because playoff overtimes are full 20-minute periods (although sudden death), and the second overtime was almost over before the Sharks were able to score a goal and win the game 3-2. We then went to The Dutch Goose and had burgers and fries, but we made it back by 9 PM and so were able to watch the end of the game between Phoenix and Chicago which also went to overtime, but Phoenix won. All three teams from the Sharks Conference won their first game playoff game (San Jose, Phoenix, and San Jose), so it shows that the Sharks had to play in the toughest conference, and it it no wonder they had to struggle to make the playoffs this year. I feel good today.
