As a fan of Not The Sharks it’s hard for me to keep putting all this pro-Sharks stuff on With Leather, but they’re doing some amazing things this season. I didn’t think we’d be able to top Tomas Hertl’s between-the-legs fourth goal in one game but he’s found competition in Antti Niemi, a man who is marching confidently toward the Vezina Trophy with an 8-0-1 record, a GAA of 1.64 and an early choice for save of the year.
Watch in amazement (three times) as Niemi shuts down Todd Bertuzzi of the Detroit Red Wings and wins the game for the Sharks. With a kick.
Unbelievable. Join us back here next week when a Sharks defenseman checks a dude mid-cartwheel.
Big Bert’s reaction about says it all.
As someone who loves the Sharks, but fucking HATED Niemi, last year really sold me on him as a top tier goalie and that save solidified it.
Aaaaand I can’t wait for all the hype of the season to steam roll them into the playoffs as #1 seed, only to be dropped by some random #8…
There is no #8 this year. It’s all about the Wild card!
“There is no #8”
There is only Zuul.
<————FUCK YEAH GO SHARKS
Great save. Why did the sharks (and other teams for that matter) take out the bottom stripes on their synthetics? They look like practice jerseys.
Because they needed a way to make their already ugly jerseys even worse. I miss the Owen Nolan jersey days.
Not as good as Fleury’s behind the back puck in the catcher from a couple of weeks ago

Martin Brodeur (from a few years ago) chuckles.

/Martin Brodeur from this year sucks.
That dude’s an AARP member now. Cut him a little slack. (Or maybe he should just retire already….)
I feel bad for this Bertuzzi character. Seems like such a standup guy.
As a Sharks fan, I am very much enjoying this season so far.
Bertuzzi can go choke on gorilla dick.
