By Paul M. Banks

For the last month or so Twitter has been all the rage. Ever since members of Congress started microblogging during Obama’s speech, people have been joining the site left and right. It’s the perfect place for me to host my first attempt at live blogging a game. So if the sentences are short and in “text-speak” remember they are copied and pasted from Twitter.

paulbanks05 lots of scoring so far. havlat before i even had time to login and sit down. ladd and byufglien followed.

paulbanks05 Sharks had one of their own on a power play- devin setoguchi. not 2 b confused w Cubs IF So Taguchi. cuz he’s so taguchi,

paulbanks05 no 1 is as taguchi as he is. Sharks r not at full stngth 2nite as both rob blake and patrick marleau were scratched

paulbanks05 this is a big game 4 many reasons. they could lkely meet in west conf semifinals. both are fighting for home ice adv.

paulbanks05 sj could get 1 seed. chi 4 seed and final home ice adv. also patrick sharp @peterchristian’s man-crush is plyin in 2nd game bak

paulbanks05 I wnder who the det red wings r pulling for here? their rivals or the team they’re fighting for #1 seed?2 minutes ago from web

paulbanks05 @detroitredwings who are you pullin 4 in hawks-sharks? tough question I know

paulbanks05 @shannonpaul since u work 4 the Wings, who are you pullin 4 in hawks-sharks? tough question I know

paulbanks05 XCTING 1ST pd. Hawks up 3-1, outshot silicon valley’s team 3-1. still this is not a healhty full Sharks squad

paulbanks05 Nabokov is struggling w making saves the way the old man in Lolita struggled w keeping his pants on around the underage girl

paulbanks05 I think we’ll hear tht annoying Amstel Light song (Chi’s goal scoring song) qte a bit more 2nite. do de de do de do de do de do do dah do do

paulbanks05 @peterandersen I know u like the Hawks, especially SHarpie. r u following this game?

paulbanks05 my girlfriend Lisa was a Sharks season tickt hldr when she lived in SF couple yrs ago. So this game is huge 4 relationship braggin rights

paulbanks05 I’m using her laptop for this running live blog 2. NHL #1 sport among online users 4 content accrdng 2 mkt resrch survey.

aulbanks05 so it’s only fitting tht tech hub city has league’s best team. also espn, sports msm have made hockey less visble. so fans have 2 go onlne 4 info

paulbanks05 boyle called 4 holding, hawks on pwrplay

paulbanks05 sharks effectvley kill penlty. 1st time ive spent a lotta time on twitter in awhile. since its bcome “trendy.” i prefer fbook myself

paulbanks05 Hawks hav eclipsed season pt. total from all of last yr. San Jose needs 2 pts for franchise record in a season

paulbanks05 when the Sharks were born, back when I was in high school. everyone thght they had the coolest logo, team name & teal was the hot color then

paulbanks05 i got to get food and it’s 4-3 b4 I can even turn around. These Sharks r good. much better than they were in NHLPA 93 Sega Genesis

paulbanks05 They were fun to control in that video game, even tho they were awful. they had pat falloon arturs irbe doug wilson kelly kisio

paulbanks05 and the 2nd period ends w the hawks up 4-3

paulbanks05 the shoot the puck promo in btween 2nd and 3rd periods follows a strct script. little kid-cheered, middle aged white dude-booed

paulbanks05 hottie showing cleavge in tight jeans- cheered…of course

paulbanks05 LA and SJ r league’s 2 stingiest teams in allowing shots on goal. but like sun, Hawks getting plenty of shots

Hawks pot another goal to go up 5-3 and get a cushion for the final 6 min here. lets c wht happens

setoguchi scores again! he and ladd each have 2 goals

paulbanks05 Ive picked up 2 new twitter followers while doing this 2nite. Thanks people!7 minutes ago from web

paulbanks05 Joe Thornton, arguably the SHarks MVP scores, tied 5-5 heading to OT. SJ has won 6 in a row at United Center. hopefully not 7

paulbanks05 I still cant get over how much Hawks coach Joel Quenneville looks exactly like actor Dennis Farina. like how NWestern’s JOhn Shurna…

paulbanks05….looks exactly like Paulie Bleeker from “Juno.” we’re headed to a shootout. OT had some gr8 saves by both goalies

aulbanks05 and bulin wall stymies old friend jeremy roenick to win it! HAWKS WIN OT Shoot out. Kaner and Toewser pot the game winners in shootout

PeterAndersen@paulmbanks05 do you know the story of how the sharks came to be? 4 minutes ago from txt

paulbanks05@peterandersen no, how were the sharks born?less than 5 seconds ago from web

paulbanks05@peterandersen I’m sorry I know the MInnesota Wild are your team, but they just sound like the name of a WNBA or MSL franchise. logo as well

paulbanks05 HUGE win 4 the Hawks 2nite! I know I always say how aths never say anything xcept mind numbing cliches in interviews but it was still cool..

paulbanks05…2 interview Jeremy Roenick after the game cuz he was the first hockey card i had as a kid 90-91 Upper Deck rookie card

paulbanks05 best of the post game quotes devin setoguchi- “it’s that time of season where you know what you need to do”

paulbanks05 coach Q- “we had a lot of options, we were a threat off the rush, and handle it well. whether it be in the rush or offensive offensive zone cycles
