The Lesser of Two Evils

*Note: I intended to publish this before the playoffs started, but life got in the way (I had to get life out of the way before the playoffs started, so there was much to do).

Today the NHL released the official list of the 20 or so referees who have been assigned to officiate the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Given my love for referees, I immediately had to open that link...

"Paul Devorski... Eric Furlatt... eh not a huge fan of Greg Kimmerly... Steve Kozari... CHRIS LEE?!?"

Those who frequent this blog may have noticed that Chris Lee and I tend not to see eye to eye when it comes to officiating an NHL game, so when I saw that he'd been assigned to work the playoffs, I was a little bit disappointed, to tell the truth. Given that he tends to work Western Conference (especially Pacific Division) games, there is an unfortunately high likelihood of his working some of the Sharks-Kings series.

This.

Is.

Bad.

This Post Hates Corey Perry

I may or may not be posting simply for the sake of posting. That is for you to decide.

We played the Ducks last night, in Anaheim. 4-3 win. Jonas Hiller pulled after letting in three goals in about 12 minutes in the first. Couldn't have happened to a better goalie. The end of the game was kind of sloppy, and we're going to have to pick up the pace if we want to compete with Boston on Saturday.

Playing Anaheim reminded me of something- Corey Perry. In case you were curious, I hate Corey Perry.
One of the guys on the right is Corey Perry, who I hate.

Back in November, at the Tank, someone had a sign that read "Corey Perry is a tool." And it had a picture of a hammer. Excellent. Since this blog features the Sharks, it is aimed mostly at Sharks fans. Sharks fans don't like Corey Perry*. Therefore I can mention this little tidbit.

That November game at the Tank? Yes, it was an overtime loss on a bad icing call, but I had a pretty awesome time because I got to hang out in the broadcaster's booth with Dan Rusanowsky. Sometime in the game Perry did something Perry-like, and during the commercial break Rusanowsky turns to me and declares, "That was Perry. Everybody hates Corey Perry."

Fantastic quotation.

Also congratulations to Al Stalock for his first NHL win. Awesome job, dude. (But seriously, he was awesome.)

*Truth. Disliking Perry is actually a prerequisite to being a Sharks fan.
