me
if so in how many games? i think they will 4 in a row and take the series in 5
Answer
Its ONE game.
Wow, I've seen momentum swings in games, but this is quite the momentum swing for this series here in the Y/A Hockey Section. Prior to the series, Shark fans were confident and predicting a series win (me included) and after 1 game now Calgary fans are predicting series wins. Funny how 1 game can change opinions, but in the NHL playoffs, its just that. ONE game! I will say Calgary came out playing with a purpose and were very disciplined yet physical. They were smart, stuck to their gameplan and Kipper did the rest. The Sharks were lazy, irresponsible, and scrambling for their lives most of the game. They finally decided to show up in the last minute or 2 but it was too late. Here's hoping SJ flicks the switch on because to be down 2 and heading into Calgary is bad news. But again, its just one game....for now.

Did I get hit by a shark or a dolphin?

I was swimming in the ocean, 20-30 feet out (high tide) and I had my back to the waves so I wouldn't get water in my eyes. Something hit my in the butt. Like I got sucker punched. And I turned around because my first thought was that someone behind me floated into me. There was noone there. But a huge gray fin flopped and the tail hit me again, I seen the top fin come out of the water. I don't know what it was. But it was big. There was two teenage girls and a younger girl right in front of me. I grabbed the young girl and tossed her at the teenage girls and I think I mumbled the words "shark" they started trying to get inland as fast as me. One of the teenage girls came up to me and told me a few minutes later that she seen the big top fin. Right then I moved my hand across my butt because it had frogged me. I noticed that I had a slimy substance where it hit me. I was pretty terrified. But my question is, what hit me? I didn't see any dolphins jumping anywhere at anytime today. So what hit me? I'm on Hilton head island, SC by the way.
Answer
Regarding shark safety guidelines, it's recommended that if you're bumped or brushed up against while swimming to make your way out of the water. Try not to splash as you make your way out of the water as quickly as you can. Splashing causes vibrations which sharks are attracted to and the last thing you would need while trying to make your way to shore. Good thing no one was hurt.
* No one can say for sure if it was a shark, but from what you have described, getting out of the water is the best thing you could have done at that point.
Here's a list of shark safety guidelines from the National Geographic:
