I am a fanwank girl!

Torrey Mitchell—A reason to watch the Sharks again!

I've made no secret that I'm rooting against the San Jose Sharks in the NHL postseason. I think management is greedy and I know they'd planned to raise ticket prices in the offseason, no matter how far the team went into the postseason. And for the first two games at San Jose, I got my wish. I have more of an attachment to Teemu Selanne and Ryan Getzlaf than to any SJ player.

Until today—Torrey Mitchell's back! I was immediately torn! Did I still pull for Anaheim, or was I now pulling for Torrey?

Torrey broke his leg in the preseason (I believe) and if I had to have a favorite Shark, it was Torrey. As you can see by his photo, he's cute. I also like his gritty style of play and he's a fast agile skater.

At any rate, SJ won tonight. I'm still really pulling for Anaheim unless Torrey's on the ice.

Yes, you may call me a fanwank superficial girl who picks her favorite player based on his looks and style. It took me a year to find him, but he's not played enough to be what I know he is.

Perhaps come October I will be able to root for the Sharks without reservations. Or maybe not!
