When Sharks fans come over, and appear to be sincere, is it really necessary to be a **** to them?

+1. But I do get the frustration on behalf of some Blues fans. The wounds are still fresh.
The old "atta boy...you did good even in defeat" seems patronizing even if that wasn't intended. It would be like getting dumped by a beautiful, intelligent girlfriend and your friend saying, "it happens...but there are plenty of fish in the sea". That may be true...but you still want to tell him to "shut up and **** off".
I have no problem with it. Which you can see by my post.
However I am not sure how "sincere" it is to claim you didn't see or hear about any dirty hits in the series. That is kind of asking for it IMO.
It would be like going to the Hawk forums and say "I know our players don't get involved with legal trouble off the ice this season. but..."
Hey guys Sharks fan here coming in peace. Honestly man I have a lot of respect for your whole team and I was really happy with how clean both teams kept it considering the dirtiest thing I saw was Backes tugging on Thornton's beard and Thornton deciding to do the same right back to him hahaha. Even that I wouldn't consider dirty at all. I can't remember which game it was and I believe it was Backes though who was gonna collide knee on knee with Hertl. They even showed a replay highlighting how Backes made sure to get out of the way mentioning how part of the reason they thought Backes got out of the way was because he was aware of Hertl's past knee injury which honestly just shows how classy Backes can be even if he is that kind of tough, hard nosed grinder that you hate playing against. He earned a lot of respect from me for that.
But all that aside I just have to say that I have a lot of respect for your team as a whole and you guys were the one team in the West that I was afraid of running into because I knew how good your team was defensively and just overall and that you guys were just as desperate as our guys to exorcise those demons and finally go all the way. If the Sharks had been eliminated you were the only team in the West I would have liked to see go all the way and I think you guys will soon. I honestly think that your management would be wise to keep that core together. Great series guys, hope we meet again soon because that was a fun series that definitely had my heart racing, especially those last 5 minutes because if we gave up that lead and lost I probably would have cried lol.

I hope the Sharks win in an anticlimactic sweep. It will show that the series that just ended was the real SCF.
I hope so too. This series was definitely a great series and you guys definitely had me going. I think you guys too could have taken the Penguins or Lightning in the finals. I kinda question Hitchcock a bit though with how many times he switched between Elliott and Allen though, I think that definitely made it tough on Elliott to keep a good rhythm going and I don't think game 2 or 3 were really his fault at all that he had to be taken out.
