Bay Area Sports
As many of you know, I'm a very big hockey activist. When trying to think of a nonpolitical topic to blog on of course hockey came to mind. With recent disappointments in Bay Area sports, I believe hockey and the San Jose Sharks are our only hope. With the Giants and Athletics both missing the playoffs, along with the Niners and Raiders, who can we look to for constant entertainment? The Warriors are constantly playing very interesting games, but are inconsistent and still don't make the playoffs. The Sharks, however, have consistently made the playoffs the last few seasons and despite postseason heartbreak, look even closer to winning the Stanley Cup (NHL Championship). I know baseball, basketball, and football all have their appeals to different people, but I believe hockey's hard hitting and fast paced game provides for great entertainment for any sports fans. Give it a try.

Sharks choke in the playoffs, wish they didn't because would like to have atleast one successful sports team nearby but they really do play horrible whenever the playoffs roll around. Need remedy plox.
A hockey activist? Standing up for the oppressed hockey masses? "With liberty, and justice, and hockey for all."
Hockey is bazillion times more fun in person than on TV. Go with a fan, or activist, and be the boor you always wanted to be.
Anders- Making the playoffs is a pretty good accomplishment considering most of the other teams in the Bay Area just struggle to get a win. This year however looks to be better for the Sharks as they have added more veterans and their new leadership is stronger than ever.
Mr. Silton- I had to look up the word boor and now am a little insulted that I'm a "peasant", but I guess that's what you get for playing a tough sport.
I've tried to watch a hockey game on TV once, but I just can't seem to follow it very well. As far as the Giants are concerned, I have high hopes for the 2010 season.
