Sharks win in Anaheim

The Sharks won last night against Anaheim, 6-4. The game wasn't televised, so I couldn't even TiVo it. I think it was on the radio, but I had a hockey game of my own, and there isn't really a TiVo for radio. Well, there is, but I'm not that hardcore. Kind of eerie that it's called the radio SHARK.

But I digress. Cheechoo had a hat trick, his second against Anaheim this season. To continue the thread I was talking about recently, The Sharks committed 10 penalties, and 2 in the last 10 minutes. The Ducks had 8, with one in the last 10 minutes. Found some cool stuff on NHL.com. The interface is kind of clunky, but you can get much more information than on ESPN.com. I like the ESPN box scores much better though. Anyway, the Sharks have been shorthanded 253 times this season, the 2nd least. Only the Devils have been shorthanded fewer times. I say that's definitely a testament to the Sharks discipline. Perhaps my recent observation that the Sharks commit to many late penalties is just me being frustrated about bad losses. Can't generate a report that breaks down the penalties by period yet.
