About Me

My photo
Proud single mom of one beautiful daughter who shares my love of sports and music. She doesn't share my love of the outdoors which I find weird. I love photography and wish I had a better camera!! Maybe someday...

San Jose Sharks Fan Appreciation 4/11/14

Hello.  I'm exhausted.  I'm watching the Sharks game and just trying to stay awake and I'm not going to make it to the end of the third period I fear. But I thought it was a good opportunity to post my pics from the fan appreciation portion of the last game of last season.

I have to apologize for the quality of the photos.  1) I just learned how to make my photos higher resolution when editing (sad, I know) and 2) if I remember correctly, my camera was not happy at that game.  Not sure why because it usually does okay in the Shark Tank.

I find Brodie Brazil a little annoying, but I love Sharkie.  Too bad the tshirt cannon wasn't pointing the other way.  (I kid!) 

Fun fact about Justin Braun:  His wife (now...then GF) was in the top four (I think) on Gordon Ramsey's Masterchef.  

As Captain, Jumbo addresses the fans.

(insert bad Jeremy Roenick joke here)

The next three are the guys with the fans who won their jersey.  


Two guys who I've loved for awhile.  Sadly, last season saw their huge talents diminished considerably.  Hopefully a new team and a renewed energy will rejuvenate their careers.

Man these pictures are terrible.  haha I apologize to anyone who's stuck with it this far. 
Who's wearing a kilt???

Of all the players, Patrick Marleau stays out there the longest throwing tshirts.  He has quite an arm too!  I saw him get at least one into the upper deck from the ice level.  
 Just look at that form. 


Nothing better than Tomas Hertl's smile!  Is dream!


 Burr and Daddy

 Brauny putting his all into it!  He has pretty good form too!
Wingels throwing the splitter.

Moar Patty!


And we'll finish off with Captain America. #LongHairDontCare 

I recommend any Sharks fan try to attend the last home game each season.  It's fun and really nice to see the guys interact with the fans.  

Till next time.

Fan Appreciation=Mutual Lovefest - Last Home Game Part 3

FAN APPRECIATION (fan uh-pree-shee-ey-shuh n) (NOUN): ________________________________
Thankful recognition, with an increase  or rise in the 
value of property, goods, etc., of the people who love
you with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal.

Sounds about right for Sharks fans.  Except for the "uncritical" part; Sharks fans are extraordinarily hard on their team, players and coaches alike.  I think it comes from being sooooo close for so long and not quite getting the job done.   The job?  This...

With this victory over the Dallas Stars, The San Jose Sharks clinched a playoff spot for the 9th straight year...second only to the Red Wings stretch of 22 consecutive years.
