Crosby with the Conn Smythe, I have mixed feelings on for sure. I am not as against it as others, but I think it could easily have gone to Letang, Murray, or Kessel as well.

Also, how the **** did you end up a Sharks fan?

I usually watch at least some of the Stanley Cup, but they were 3 games in before I realized it was going on. I caught about 10 minutes of game 5 the other night. 4 goals had been scored in no time.

But yeah, that game 5 first few minutes was insane.

That's how I learned players names back then. We turned the penalties off and just go at it, so I don't really know all of the nuances. When the Blue Jackets came to be, I lived in Columbus & went to a few games. It's awesome live. I really like playoff hockey. I'm kinda disappointed I missed the series.

As for how I am a Sharks fan, 7 years ago I was at a bar in DC. I decided that I didn't like this whole Caps bandwagon and people pretending they were all the sudden hockey fans, so I said "next team on TV is my team". It was the Sharks. Do I really follow hockey or understand all of it? No, but I started watching as many games this playoffs as possible and have followed their seasons online every year since.
