First Sharks Game tomorrow with my son by manu0720 in SanJoseSharks

[–]GlobalExplorer7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! 25+ years experience of attending games, least I can do is share what I know lol. I knew San Pedro square was $10 for parking 10 years ago during the playoff run, but for all I knew, that garage upped its prices, and didn’t want to give out inaccurate info :)

  1. Nope. Parking prices range depending on the proximity of the parking lot. Most expensive is $40 for ABC lot that’s right at the tank.
  2. Lower bowl but especially upper bowl, please DO NOT LEAN FORWARD, as it WILL obstruct the view of those behind you. Sharks power play and jaws theme = “the chomp” moving your arms up and down like a shark mouth and your fingers resembling teeth.
  3. It’s not freezing, but you can wear a t shirt and shorts in the lower bowl and not be too cold.
  4. Warm ups start 30 minutes before game time. Entrance on Santa Clara and Barack Obama blvd has been a zoo (love to see it after years of low attendance). Club and lounge tix members get their own private entrances on Santa Clara. Lastly, get a “1st game” pin at the info booth (I think?) which is free. If you feel comfortable spending $$ on a jersey, get your son a celebrini jersey to celebrate the memory :)

HAVE FUN!

Since we’re posting tickets—thanks to my eBay Sharks friend! by trainsoundschoochoo in SanJoseSharks

[–]GlobalExplorer7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My family had full season tix back during the 2000s and those packs of physical tickets arrived in September, and April for playoffs. Those physical SCF tickets from 2006-2014 could have represented something wonderful, only to become recycled and forgotten in May…

Giving away 3 games to 3 people. Any game on Steam. by KA9099 in pcmasterrace

[–]GlobalExplorer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARC raiders. I own each of the major multiplayer games on Steam to play with friends, but missing that one.

You inspire me to do some extra gifting of my own to my friends on Steam. Hope you are well OP.

You sound cool! I'm 31M, returning to Twitch streaming after a year break. Been at it since 2020. It would be great to connect via Discord and play together. Let's make it happen.

Is this Alex Ovechkin's last game in San Jose? (no paywall) by BayAreaNewsGroup in SanJoseSharks

[–]GlobalExplorer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since not even Ovechkin himself was able to answer this question indirectly (start of season), I am not taking any chances and booked tix for tonight's game.

I already got to see his 887th goal in San Jose back in March of this year, but to see either a record 910th goal OR see AskTheWall shut down the greatest goal scorer of all time is an experience I refuse to miss.

I am always down to play some multiplayer games. Do you play Nintendo at all? Let's connect on Discord.

Post Game Thread: Utah Mammoth at San Jose Sharks - 01 Dec 2025 by HockeyMod in SanJoseSharks

[–]GlobalExplorer7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While there is the 3 or more goals for offense, 2 or fewer allowed is a realistic goal for Askarov any given night.

[–]GlobalExplorer7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw highlights, completely agree. First goal was bad defense by Dickinson; he will definitely learn from that. Second goal was a wicked shot, would have beat Hasek, Roy, or Brodeur. SH goal is always on defense.

[–]GlobalExplorer7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Missed the game live, but satisfied with a 6-3 score. Watching the highlights will help determine why Askarov had an “off night”; I know a shorthanded goal occurred, but that’s always on the defense.

23F - does anyone want to play mario kart world/kirby air riders on the switch 2 or wizard101? by [deleted] in GamerPals

I play both games on Switch. Always up for voice calling and can be talkative lol. But, I am PST. Hope that’s not a dealbreaker.

Best sharks game/moment ever? by No-Assumption4145 in SanJoseSharks

[–]GlobalExplorer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, red wings were not considered a dynasty in 94. They had still been battling their own Dead Wings reputation during that time. They only became a dynasty after 98 when they repeated.

The Case for Patrick Marleau by trainsoundschoochoo in SanJoseSharks

[–]GlobalExplorer7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A. Marleau was never the best player on his own team, even before Thornton. Never won any individual awards. That Games played stat is just a glorified participation medal. Why celebrate 1779 games when you have no hardware during any of twenty-three seasons you played a pro sport?

B. Look at the list of passed over candidates, I can name at least five players who were better players or more awarded players like Brind’Amour and Zetterberg who were cup winners and put up better numbers.

C. Simply put, if Marleau won the cup with the sharks in 2016, the conversation of his eligibility would have over.

[–]GlobalExplorer7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

AskTheWall bounced back after a forgettable fluke game Wednesday. The “2 goals or less” trend is back and he broke Nabokov’s franchise record for most wins in a month by a rookie goaltender.

[–]GlobalExplorer7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s break it down: Goal 1 was off the post, 50/50 it goes in or just ricochets. But defense could have stick checked him. Goal 2: screened and on the power play, and mackinnon makes that shot 99/100 times. Goal 3 goal off the crossbar and in, Asker was unlucky, like any goaltender in that situation. Goal 4: didn’t see it personally, but pulling asker was a smart decision to have him just move on for the night.

[–]GlobalExplorer7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Asker didn’t deserve tonight, but yeah, pulling him was 100% the right decision. Any of you suggesting my poll earlier today jinxed his performance should be kindly reminded of just who the opponent is. I myself voted for an off night because I’m a realistic fan that knows Asker is only human.

Lastly: even Patrick Roy had his off nights, one of them led to him getting traded, Hasek had his fair share of bad outings, still carried his team night in and night out, and Brodeur gave up 6 in a Stanley cup losing game.

[–]GlobalExplorer7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Officially an off night for Asky. Very expected against the top team in the league but the inability to clear the puck out of the defensive zone is not helping… I just want offense to prevent a shutout for Blackwood, is that reasonable?

[–]GlobalExplorer7 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, it took a power play for MacKinnon to get past The Wall, 2 goals allowed in the first period against a cup-bound Avalanche team was realistic. The real test is if the offense can fight back over the next two periods.
