Was this the day Thornton was traded. I was 20 at the time and I remember when this trade happened. I kinda wish the sharks made another franchise defining trade but that would mean getting someone like McDavid and that’s not happening.

The fact that the video ends on Drew making an awkward cowbell joke is just about the greatest possible way that package could've dated itself. :laugh:

My favorite moment was definitely going to game 1 of the finals in Pittsburgh. Was pretty cool to be in attendance for their first ever Stanley cup finals game.

Was sitting right behind the net with my girl friend for Donskoi’s OT winner. I’ll never forget it and thats the moment she truly became a fan. Best game I’ve ever been to in any sport.

It wasn’t when Donskoi scored? That seems to be a bigger moment. It’s probably my favorite moment as a sharks fan. Being there in that atmosphere.

It was the whole damn thing :D

It was quite a day. I started watching the sharks regularly in the late 90s (Owen Nolan was my favorite player at the time) but I do remember Baker’s goal. It’s still not really top three for me. For me it’s

- The 4 overtime Playoff game against Dallas. They lost but it was one of the best games I ever saw

- The Thornton Trade

- being at Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. Everything from the pregame to Donskoi’s goal was perfect.

Damn those Sabres jerseys were ugly AF.
Can't believe I used to like them, granted I was 12.

Joe's first game at the tank was for sure one of my all time greatest Sharks memories. Already had tickets before it happened, was pretty cool and he certainly didn't disappoint. His first season was flat out god like.
