The Sharks begin their Western Conference Semi-finals matchup with the Detroit Red Wings on the road at the Joe Lewis Arena tonight. The Wings played the Calgary Flames in Round 1. The series was tightly played, with the Wings ultimately prevailing over the Flames through their forward depth, better transition game, and (somewhat surprisingly) better team speed as the series went on. Mikka Kiprusoff, the Flames netminder, couldn't hold off the Wings offense forever, and Kipper was the only real hope the Flames had to take the series. ...

The Sharks dispatched the Mustard Men in 5 games, which makes the series seem a lot less close than it was. 3 of the games were decided by one goal, with Game 1 in double overtime. Even Game 2, the Predators 5-2 win, was not decided until late in the 3rd period. Nashville's undisciplined play (they led all playoff teams with almost 30 minutes of penalties per game) was their undoing, even though the Sharks power play was more or less ineffective, and often frankly ugly to watch. But it was one more way to wear down the Nashville defenders, and keep their skill players on the bench. Patrick Marleau again scored some big goals, and Joe Thornton took the first step toward erasing his playoff-choker reputation with dominating play and 6 points in the series. Nashville wasn't the only team to distinguish itself with dirty play in this year's playoffs. The Calgary Flames managed to steal the spotlight by having their backup goalie come in to play lumberjack to the Detroit Red Wings Johan Franzen's, umm, old growth redwood late in Game 5 of their series (Franzen, fittingly, scored the series winner in Game 6). Then the Flames' Jarome Iginla and Daymond Langkow got in the act late in the game (cross-checking plus slashing and sucker-punching, respectively). Classy. Brad May of the Anaheim Ducks got a 3 game suspension for sucker-punching the back of Minnesota Wild defenseman Kim Johnsson (who is both emphatically not a pugilist, and happened to be Minnesota's best D man), which then caused a multi-player dust-up between the Ducks and Wild during the *pre-game skate* of Game 5 in their series. ...

The Sharks open the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs Wednesday night as a #5 seed on the road against the #4 Nashville Predators. If this match-up sounds familiar, it's because these two teams were first-round opponents last year, when the Predators made their post-season debut, falling to the Sharks 4-1. ...

Here's todays recap of last night's sports...

In lieu of the NFL trying to trademark the words "Big Game," we are going to do our best to honor them by using the phrase "Big Game" as much as possible. -The Warriors once again get blown out on the road, this time to the Chicago Bulls in their BIg Game. Even Don Nelson seems to be throwing in the towel about playing in all of those Big Games in the playoffs. ...

-The Warriors get a big lead, lose a big lead, then regain a big lead as they beat the NY Knicks. Tim Kawakami thinks the Warriors need to tank the season by giving Patrick O’Bryant some playing time. ...

We're going to talk about something we rarely talk about-- hockey. Why? Because the San Jose Sharks are now up 2-0 against the Edmonton Oilers in the second round of the playoffs, after winning last night 2-1. The Sharks, who have won six playoff games in a row, won on a game winning goal by MVP candidate Joe Thorton (check out the great video of it from a fan in the stands). Then there's how they did it, winning last night's game despite, incredibly, being down two players in a 5-3 matchup, only to have two of those players lose their sticks, and still-- somehow, inexplicably-- kept the Oilers from scoring for over a minute. That's studly. Even better is the fact that in describing the whole thing, Sharks coach Brian Wilson referenced the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. How can you not give some props to a Monty Python quoting coach? ...

Well, if you're at all gay (and we all are, at least a little, according to that big queen Kinsey) then you have absolutely no excuse to be bored this weekend. SFist urges you to go forth and make out with strangers! And remember, don't forget to think about the children, by which, of course, we mean to let them revel in God's creation of rainbow hotpants and house music, too! But first, while......

A friendly crowd greeted Filipino filmmaker Steven Mallorca at the San Francisco screening of his labor of love, Slow Jam King -- about three rows of seats were reserved for his family and friends, various members of the film's crew, and other people affiliated with the movie, and the rest of the seats rapidly sold out with people interested in small indie comedy film, Filipino country music aficionados, and people eagerly waiting outside in the suddenly-cold weather in the rush line. (Can't SFIAAF let them wait someplace a little warmer?) Slow Jam King was written, directed, and produced by Mallorca (and exec produced by John Woo), and Mallorca also wrote almost all the songs on the soundtrack too. Dang, a quadruple threat! The movie's main focus is a young depressed Filipino-American named JoJo, the former salutatorian of his high school who's dropped out of college for the aspirational hiphopper pimp lifestyle, in an attempt to win the heart of a Filipina girl in the neighborhood, who's already dating the neighborhood gangbanger. The gangbanger gives JoJo a hot gun, at which point JoJo carjacks Vance, a country-music-loving perfume salesman from Tennessee, and ropes his African-American friend DeVaun into a road trip to Nashville. Take a trip to the South, after the jump....
