Ten years ago... a young man named Shea embarked on his maiden voyage to the NHL playoffs. The savvy youth was a perfect fit with the talented crew he had joined and became a full fledged shipmate in no time. This was high praise indeed for his mates included the likes of Kariya, Dumont, Sullivan, Timonen and Surly Suter.
While the crew was indeed a talented bunch, it was nothing without their captain at the helm. Vokoun was his name, and his quick reflexes were the envy of all. He was the glue that held the crew together.
The voyage looked promising, the skies all clear. The team had achieved greatness compiling more than 50 wins in a year. Their mandate was to go deep sea fishing and land the biggest catch of the day: the three sharks from San Jose. This will be easy everyone thought as they sailed into shark infested waters.
But in the water lurked a monster they all should've feared.
Out from the depths came a trio of beasts... Thornton, Marleau and Cheechoo circled the SS Pred hungry for a bite of flesh.
The brave captain tried his beast, but the sharks were relentless. The crew all bailed as the ship sunk into the abyss.They frantically grabbed on to whatever they could find to keep them above water.
The tides came and went, separating the once unified group. Vokoun, Timonen and Hartnell were the first victims, followed swiftly by lesser members of the team (especially ones named Suter and Radulov).
One, however, remained loyal to the cause. The youngster Shea survived the disaster and pledged to himself he would have his revenge. He swam back to shore and patiently waited. He spent nearly a decade training and recruiting a crew worthy to take down the shark that had destroyed his young dreams.
The SS Pred was reborn, a sea worthy vessel that was now battle tested. It wasn't always an easy ride, but the crew made it to the shark invested waters.
Now an older man, Shea is the captain of his team, ready to take on the shark in the sea.
