Why the Sharks won game 7…

This will take a bit of explaining.

Over on the big island, Kilauea volcano has been erupting for years. Recently, though, activity has been picking up, and there are some indications it’s going to get even more interesting (maybe).

An old friend of ours and fellow Sharks fan was on the research team there in college, and still keeps in contact with the team there.

And we were chatting today, I made a comment about putting out the Flames, that perhaps Pele was mad at the Sharks; goddess of fire, she’s in conflict with the sea and its inhabitants.

So somewhere along the way, it was decided that placating Pele was a good idea, and emails were sent, and thus it was found someone at the University of Hilo who both played ice hockey and had a sense of humor, and a bit before the game started tonight, I heard that (well, unofficially, since throwing stuff into the volcano is against the rules) a puck was sent to Pele to encourage her to show favor to the Sharks tonight.

And now you know the rest of the story…

And I think I owe someone a case of beer….
