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. 

 The headless hockey player

(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.

Had a Suite, Suite time at the Sharks/Blackhawks Game! 2/1/14 Part 3

So my arm is finally a lot better.  It still hurts and gets numb when I type too much, so I probably won't be doing as much typing in this post.  

Quick Recap since it's been over a month:

• Went to San Jose
• Gave Blood at the Sharks & Stanford blood drive
• Won tickets in a penthouse suite & a parking pass
• Sold the tickets I already had
• Bought a mystery puck and it was Alex Stalock
• Watched warmups on the glass
• Drooled over Patrick Sharp while talking to two dudes from Chicago

And then we went up to our suite...where we had a nice view of the banners.  #SoPretty

This is what the ice looks like from our corner suite.

Yeah, I had a "leaner" and yes, leaning DOES matter if you sit in front of someone in the upper level at the Tank.  Luckily for us, she switched seats with someone when the game started so she wasn't in front of us.

Sharkie!  

...O'er the La-and of the Freeeeeeeeeee!  And the hommme of the...brave!

I liked the view of the flags with the shark head.  An angle you don't get to see every game.

According to a sign in the suite, it is Marty Havlat's personal suite which he donated to the Stanford Blood Center.  That was cool because I am a big Mach9 fan from back in the day. 

Several people besides us wrote nice messages to Marty. I wonder if he really saw them? Of course, me being me, I told him he was really handsome.  Here's a closeup of the sign #GingerPower! 

Don't worry Sharkie, I yelled quite a bit.  Couldn't talk very well for a few days.  Sharks ended up winning in a shootout with my three FAVORITE players on the Sharks scoring!  Pavs, Patty, Jumbo.  It was awesome.

After the game we headed back to our free Marriott room to relax and get a good nights sleep for our Mystery Spot adventure the next morning.

Last Home Game - Part 2 - Moar Pics!

Holy hell, the Sharks just beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 in game 3.  AMAZEBALLS!!  I am soooooo excited because I am going to game 4!  That's right.  Adrienne's wonderful friend Kyle gave her two tickets for the game for her birthday.  And then he couldn't go.  So Mama benefits!  Happy mother's day to me. :-)

This is Adrienne....

And this is me...
