Did I REALLY just hear the "BEAT LA" chant in the Tank... DURING THE AVALANCHE GAME?!?!

They are obsessed. I bet they dream of Kings fans in their sleep.

Or would that be a nightmare?
 
It's true. At best, the Sharks are 3rd on our list behind the Ducks and Nucks. The beat LA chant is very cute, if that's any consolation.

I guess I can understand. We do own the all time series lead by 2 games as of now. We are 1-1 against you in recent playoff series. Are about to meet you again in a playoffs which if is anything like last seasons playoffs, will be one of, if not the best series of the playoffs.

But yeah... Not a rival.

Just beause we play the Sharks a lot doesn't mean it's a heated rivalry. Most LA fans don't care that much about SJ fans. It seems to be a one sided obsession. I can handle losing to the Sharks because we have done it before and personally I don't hate them. I would hate to lose to the Ducks though. It would suck to lose to the Cryotes too. And don't even get me started on the ****ing Canucks (even though they are hot garbage now). I put the Blues in the same camp as the Sharks, they are waaaay more obsessed with us than we are with them.
 
For what it's worth.... I respect the Sharks more then the Ducks/Canucks...

Which to me is the basis for a rivalry.

So when the Kings elimiate the Sharks in the first round it'll make it that much more sweet. :nod:

I got the Sharks as 4th on the rivalry list behind 1. Nucks 2. Cryotes 3. Ducks

That being said, i do very much hate them, and wish them nothing but failure forever

I do agree because both the Blues and the Sharks are afraid of the Kings, finally taking a lead ahead of both of them, when it comes to playoff series won. Basically, both Sharks and Blues fanbases see the 2014 NHL Playoffs as the potential tiebreaker.

Chanting "Beat L.A." at the end of a regular season game where you're not playing the Kings is a good place to start. Hell, the Sharks next game isn't even against the Kings

Sorry if it hurts your feelings bud. But we, for the most part, just don't consider you a rival.

If you want to go ahead and consider us a rival, that's a start. Maybe you will get our attention during this year's series, but I sincerely doubt it.

Now, as someone mentioned above, Vancouver and St. Louis are our rivals. Vancouver fans come into Staples and arrogantly think they own the place. Well, we won't be seeing them in this seasons' playoffs. St. Louis? Well, the Kings and the Blues have had two very interesting playoff series in the past two seasons: a rivalry has certainly developed, with Stewart (who is not on the team anymore) stupidly trying to shush the Staples crowd when his team was down 3-0 in games and ended up losing that 4th game as well. Those kinds of things develop rivalries. However, the way the Blues are stumbling into the postseason, we won't see them either.

I would also throw Phoenix in there for obvious reasons. The two teams hate each other. But we won't be seeing them either this playoff year.

The Sharks? Not even close. Neither team hates each other. No players hate each other. The L.A. fans laugh at the Sharks' fans chanting "Beat L.A." Hell, even the fans of both teams get along at Staples Center.

It's the same old story. NoCal fans hate SoCal fans because they have an inferiority complex. SoCal fans shrug at NoCal fans in dismissal. That's it. It is what it is, Sharks fan. Deal with it.

Yeah, don't confuse not considering the Sharks a chief rival (yet) of the Kings as some sort of statement that the Sharks aren't a good team/franchise. There has to be hatred on the ice AND hatred among fanbases. There very well could be some hatred on the ice this series to move the matchup up the rivalry ladder. But in the HFBoards neck of the woods, Kings fans hate Ducks/Nucks fans for the most part and vice versa. That hate isn't there yet among Sharks/Kings fans. Heck, I seem to remember in the past that Sharks fans considered the Wings more a rival. Maybe I'm wrong. But hey, if Brown takes our Hertl again or Torres does in Stoll, we all might change our tunes!
 
Not that I consider SJ a massive rivalry, but how are the Blues our rivals based on two playoff series that the Kings went 8-2 in and the Sharks aren't a rival based on two playoff series that the Kings are 6-7?

I think with the Kings/Sharks playing for the third time in four years in what looks like it will be another tough, lengthy series it's fair to call this a pretty good rivalry.

If were going to beat the Sharks both Brown and Richards will need to step up there games.

Kopitar, Carter, and Quick need to play amazing, anyone else is just support. I don't expect Brown or Richards to be any different than they have most of this season, underwhelming...so don't expect much from them.

That stupid effing bell they ring when they score
GEOFF COURTNALL

Been hating them for a long time.
 
San Jose will not be easy as the previous years has shown us. We needed home court last year and we don't have it this year. Nervous as H3ll and the first game hasn't even started yet! I don't know if I can handle it just not gonna watch.
