San Jose @ Detroit
4:30 PM PST
SJS: 4-3-0
DET: 5-2-0

Hockey Haiku for this preview...

Lidstrom plays defence
Pavel Datsyuk can dangle
Howard likes the snow.

But Thornton can pass
And Joe Pavelski can score
Nemo is super.

Detroit is a pit
It is really kind of sad
But now they've Lions

The Joe is quiet
It doesn't rock like the Tank
Home ice advantage?

No, I do not doubt
I don't doubt the Red Wings fans
But Sharks are better.

Go Sharks, Go! Tonight
Run circles around the Wings!
Come up with big saves!

Tonight, Go Sharks, Go!
Play the best game you can play
Try to get that W.

Prediction: Sharks win 4-3. Goals by Pavelski, Couture, Havlat, and Burns.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

So apparently Jimmy Howard doesn't like snow showers.

An Epic Snowshower by Jumbo Joe on Howard

This might be why he gets snowed more than any other goalie in the league.

But it's not a new occurrence.

The Sharks (and Joe Thornton) were already practicing snowing Jimmy Howard last season in the playoffs.

And frankly, I'm totally down with it if it means Howard will continue to do stupid stuff that could lead to penalties. So,

Let it Snow,
                   
                     Let it Snow,
