Retro jerseys. Damn, now I have to watch.

Snog...Alot to a little

Why can't the Sharks get 2 weeks off too like Hertl. I was enjoying the break.

Sharks win 5-1
Meier, Simek, Leonard x2, Kane
Krug

Over and under on how long Karlsson lasts tonight?

He will 100% hurt himself again.

Snog 5-3 shorks
Donation, Leonard, Gambrell, Karlsson, kane

Erik should really get less than 20 minutes tonight unless the team gets a bunch of PPs to bring the number up.

But we're playing the Blues and we scored on a handpass a few years ago so there actually won't be any PPs to worry about.

Blues 4-3
Labanc, Ferraro, Kane,
Krug, Hoffmann x 2, Ror,

5-2 Blues
Schenn, Kyrou, Perron, O'Reilly, and Hoffman
Couture and Kane

Sharks 3-1
Labanc,Burns,Balcers
Hoffman

Retro jerseys for a team as bad as some of those 90s teams? Checks out

The retro jerseys will save us
SNOG
Sharks 4-3
Chemlevski Meier Ferraro Kane
Kyrou Perron Hoffman

SNOG
1-0 Blues
Scandella

Of course the Sharks have a player whose name autocorrects to Donation.

Just because I'm feeling spicy
3-1 Sharks
EK65 x3
who cares

Karlsson and Simek back?! We're gonna lose then...
SNOG 6-5 BLUES
Kyrou, Sundvist, Bortuzzo, Perron x3
Leonard, Nieto, Donato, Burns, Knyzhov

Maybe they can call the '91 Sharks back and put them in the lineup for a boost.
This team could have three Norris winners on the blue line!

They're gonna play like it's 1991 too.

Just got a new keg for tap #2, this should be a good game to help break it in....

Underrated comment

I really feel like Chmelevski and Karlsson score tonight, hope I'm right! Lets go boys!

They're just trying to give you the full "bad expansion team" experience.

With Claesson and Meloche not looking too bad, maybe they should keep one of them in and move Karlsson to fwd. Karlsson can re-invent himself as a play making wing.

Considering Claesson has played with EK in the past, they should be a pairing.

How long will Karlsson last before re-injuring his groin?

Seems to be a lot of bad Juju in here for karlsson...not cool

He's gotta prove us wrong at some point.

It's all controlled by the Plattner-Wilson industrial complex

I'm thinking Knyzhov fights again. He probably wants redemption and Boughner seems to have been doing the fight club culture the past couple weeks.

Sharks 3 - Blues 2
Gambrell, Labanc, Meier
Barbashev, Krug

Really? No offense but that sounds a bit entitled. Let's try to support our favorite hockey team and the players on it. Injuries happen. Predicting a guys next injury as if he's to blame just seems in bad taste to me. Love yall, not tryna be confrontational.

I have been speculating they might bring him back against a goon squad with a history of making Karlsson crumble and dissolve like a piece of wet Price Club toilet paper. All part of a strategy to encourage him to quit the league.

SNOG:
4-2 Sharks.
Balcers, Couture, Kane and Burns.
ROR and Kyrou.

Vlasic moving to forward is more likely. Why does this suggestion always persist?

Because of the long-standing belief that offensive dmen are just basically fowards on the back end

SNOG
2-1 Heritage Team
EK9
EK65
ROR

I was too. I think I realized during the Lockdown that I will watch sports if they are on, but I have been enjoying watching TV shows or Movies or just doing something else. I'm not looking forward to this Sharks schedule where they play every Friday and Saturday Night for the rest of the season.
SNOG
Sharks 3 (Burns, Kane, Couture)
Blues 5 (Bozak, ROR, Hoffman x2, Schwartz)

Can I vote in favor of moving Vlasic to forward? He's not good at defense anymore, so what the hell.

It needs to die. Burns is the only one it reasonably applies to.

I agree. It's a different playstyle entirely than just being a 4th forward.

Karlsson with 3 pts and a -3.

Move him to forward, let him change his # to 10, let him be Pavel Bure like he always wanted. Because as it stands the only thing he has in common with Bure is that neither one plays defence.

In a shutout victory no less. How does he do it??

Page number: 3

Blues 4
Perron 2x, ROR, Sheen
Sharks 1
Timo

Poor Simek. Dude can't catch a break. He gets back and The Groin decides to crash the party.

SNOG
Blues 6, Sharks 4
Kyrou 2, Hoffman, Parayko, O'Reilly, Schenn
Kane, Leonard, Ferraro, Couture

Scotty!
One component of the best third line in Sharks history:
Scotty, Niklas Sundstrom and Korky, I think.

Oh yea that's right. Why did I think it was Korky?

Because Ricci is so badass you always thought of him as a top 6er in his Sharks tenure.

SNOG
Sharks 5 - Blues 3
Both EK, Labanc, Donato, Gregor
Kyrou, Sanford, Faulk

Rumor has it that both were quite the speedsters in their day too.

Because 5'9'' on the Sharks usually means automatic bottom 6 duties.

He's not the Thornton we need, but he probably is the one we deserve.

I feel Marleau should be centering the fourth line instead of the third

Here's to six Blues PPs and one for the Sharks.

Brody is regretting that question

2nd line Gambrell. woof.

"I never had groin problems until I came here."
-Erik Karlsson

San Jose causes groin issues confirmed.

Man, I didn't realize that Dubnyk was such a chonker.

Brown talks about the Knyzhov fight providing "momentum"
Before Knyzhov fight: 2-1 Minnesota
after fight: 4-1 Minnesota
Momentum!

I don't understand how Karlsson can go from week to week to in the lineup in the span of a couple days. Our medical team must be inept.

Or maybe they're somehow the best medical team in the world.

I was asking this question on Monday. Why are they rushing him? It's not like the Sharks are going anywhere.

Maybe they meant one week in and one week out.

Page number: 4

Cmon guys my birthday is tomorrow my only wish is don't get blown out

Balcers-Gambrell-Meier this line has to be one of the worst 4th lines in the league. Oh wait that's our 2nd line.
This comment aged like milk

Meier!!!
Please let this help him.

What a Vlasic pass. No pressure on him, passes to no one, ices the puck.

Meier!!

Lol what a goal

binnington is the new martin jones.

Just like he planned it.

Those unis...
That goal...

Meier!!!! There you are!!!

That was deliberate.

That's a nice start. Pity they don't have own goals in the stat lines because that was a forced own goal.

Meier gets rewarded on what would have been a dumb shot.

Those are the nicest jerseys in the league as far as I'm concerned

Dumb like a fox.

Yessss!!

I don't really understand the role of a PA Announcer when there is no one in the crowd. I know some broadcasts (specifically radio) go to the PA Announcer to announce goals, but the Sharks broadcast doesn't do that.

best shade of teal for sure.

Uh oh, when the Sharks score in the first minute of the game this season, they haven't won.

Balcers is good. Why was he waived?

Verisimilitude

Pierre Dorion is a dumb-dumb.

Page number: 5

Is this the first time the Sharks have worn 91 style teal jerseys at home in franchise history?

I like Chmelevski-Gregor as a duo. Shame they're with Nieto.
I want to see Nieto and Leonard flip-flopped. Kid line. Gregor - Chemelvski - Leonard. Let's go.

No. They would've worn them at home a few years ago when they were retro 3rds too.

I think I read somewhere that it was choosing whether to waive Logan Brown or Balcers and they went with Balcers.

Oh yeah, forgot about those. Thanks.

Fair enough. I also would have accepted Pierre Dorion is Pierre Dorion.

Oh deer...

looks like timo tipped it.

I complimented Balcers and then he turns the puck over. That's my bad.

Nose for the net

*Sigh*.
Gregor has to know Chmelevski is a right-hander. That's two plays he's missed.
Horrible defensive play from Meier. Sharks should move on before his value plummets.

Logan Brown <<< Balcers so Dorion made the right choice.

That's a goal Jones would've let in too. Traffic wasn't terrible but enough that he whiffed on something that didn't get tipped it seems. Bad pass by Balcers too.

Kane's been worth his contract. I want him to will his way to victory like they did last time they played

I hate Perron I really do jus threading his name

I only heard that term one time and it was when I was in High School. I had to look up what that word meant.

Poor Boogie, can't bench both Balcers and Chm in the first...

I like the hit for a hit right there

God most of the Blues players I thought would score tonight are out of the line up. They got a Injury/Covid bug kinda hard.

this shift is all donato holy cow.

A penalty against the Blues? This is dream.

What a blue penalty what kind of black magic is this?

I get so triggered seeing anyone wearing 29 in a blues jersey
edit: oops ott was 29 in dallas, 9 in blues. fml im still triggered

Gregor's skating is clearly that of a high caliber NHL player. But his decision making is not that of an NHLer. It's not just tonight either.

Kaner!!

Page number: 6

Nice by burns

Kane!!!

okay that was a pretty good powerplay.

Kaner!

A PP and against the blues?! This is Dream

Was that onside??

Nice!

Is this team better without Hertl?

maybe on the PP.

Sure is now.

These heritage jerseys are making me feeling things

All the things
But that Wednesday Addams collar...

Kane!!!

Anyone ever have balcers? They sound painful

Ek looking good tonight

Don't you f***ing dare...

EK65 not as explosive but is playing well.

Nice move by Chmelevski.

ooh sick flash from chmelelvski

Damn close chance

EK skating looks the best it has all season

looks like the Sharks are more physically engaged than they have been.

Solid period

Gregor is crazy inconsistent. His effort is always there but feels like the brains sometimes doesn't show up.

Page number: 7

If this was the only period of Sharks hockey you watched this season, you'd think they were a pretty damn good team.

Really good period outside of Balcers' turnover. Karlsson looks energetic, nice to see him jump in a few rushes and be involved with the offense.

Well here come the second period "œBlues" ha ha ha I crack myself up

We looked pretty good that period and are up by 1 heading into the 2nd......Oh God the 2nd period. Blues are gonna score 3 goals aren't they?

He was reading HF during his time away from the team

How are they not seeing that the Blues goal was tipped?

It didn't look tipped on any replay I've seen.

Puck changed angle after MacEachern.

the behind the net angle made it look like it tipped off of meier's stick honestly.

Yes, but the Blues are also missing a lot of players.

I hurt my jaw when I saw that. Bounced it off the coffee table.

It didn't look like it to me.

i kinda hope these become the permanent unis. i don't have a particular reverence for the OG unis but these kits look so good.

Best visiting poster comment in a looooong time

Oh well

These refs must be new and not have gotten the memo

It's really hard to tell though. You may be right. If that's the case, I'd cut Dubnyk a break but otherwise that's a goal people would've reamed Jones for letting in.

Balcers on PP1? Wut

oh they split Burns and Karlsson on the PP

f***

How many plays die on Meier's stick? It's almost a conspiracy.

Well

Some very ugly turnovers in this game.

terrible turnover and seems like vlasic didn't read that very well.

Don't like that play by Labanc. He should've ate the puck.

Page number: 8

And so it begins.

Gotta shoot that Dylan. Could have been like his 2019 WCF Game 6 goal, similar angle and everything.

Another penalty against the Blues? Is this real life?? Lol

Passing was fine, in fact I would say the best play to make, but just cant skate like Bambi

Tim Peel would have called the Sharks for a dive.

That could have been very dangerous...

Don't worry, makeup calls incoming

Yes it is Sharks won't score and St Louis will get 3 after this

Blais has 0 integrity. it makes me so irrationally mad that he plays in the league

Donato has filthy hands

It's a grift. They give the Sharks a bunch of PPs in this game so that when they get hosed the rest of the time, this game can be pointed to as a defence against bias/favoritism.

Meier again!!!

Meier x2!!

I really hate that he gets away with so many dirty hits without getting disciplined for it.

I kind of want a #92 retro jersey.

Timoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Holy shit what a shot

Nice shot. Good screen.

That was a good snipe by Meier.

definitely a great screen by gambrell.

God dam Timo!!!!

Refs will make sure they make it up for them

lololol. Of course.

Son of a...

Page number: 9

That goal was *all* Gambrell's screen.
Dubnyk *has* to make that save.
Is there something in the water in San Jose? Bad goaltending...

well that sucks.

Dubie sucks too

And like that it's tied against

Good feelings gone.

Balls

Why are both of our goalies awful.

give us melnichuk dammit

Jones certainly isn't in many HF posters' good graces to say the least.

Dubnyk has Swiss cheese for hands

That was a very stoppable shot.

No but as long as the critiques go to both when it happens, that's all that matters.

I'd give anything to have a decent f***ing goalie. I'm not asking for prime Quick, just a serviceable NHL caliber goalie. DW also traded for this bum when he could have just picked up a goalie via free agency at a bargain bin price due to covid. Wilson seriously sucks.

i see no double standards right now.

I don't either.

Why can't we win a game in like 2-goal deficit? Its only 1-goal deficit or a loss....

Dubnyk was bad last year but he wasn't our problem. Jones has been bad for 2-3 years now. Resentment builds.

Murdered on the faces offs again. Need to be way better

Kane!!!

Kaner x2!!

f*** yes Kaner

Binnington is Dubnyk? Dubnyk is Binnington?

Weeeeeeee!!!!

Kane again!!!!

Page number: 10

It's a symposium on bad goaltending.

Winning a game with any deficit would be a hell of an accomplishment.

Jones should've had that.....oh wait!

dubnyk talking shit lol

But Bennington should have had that.

Finkel is Einhorn?

"Our goalie sucks more."
"No our goalie sucks more!"
*slap fight ensues*
and lol, f*** off, Binnington.

Buh bye Binnington!

What no fight?

lol, what a bell-end.

Lmao Binnington is a little bitch

Should have let them fight

Wow you are a piece of crap Binnington

Binnington has a worse attitude than 2010 Quick.

My comment wasn't a critique. Wholly separate comment as I am in the middle of making dinner and had a chance to post.

Karlsson's no Kobe.

Dub is now my favorite goalie behind Nabby.

Karlsson: "Jones is that you?!?"
*Binnington snaps*

Someone needs to gif Karlsson's face after Kane scored.

man binnington sucks.

my new favorite photo

That's why I prefer Dubnyk over Jones. He has personality. Jones wouldn't have gotten in Binnington's face like that.

Spicy meatball folks. Jordan "Cam Ward" Bennington.

They should make it an extra two for pulling your mask down to yell at the refs. At this point, ignorance is no excuse, and it's just a dick move

Page number: 11

I really hope EK65 said "hanndd passss" and it set that joker off. Lol

Rudy having a game.

I know Balcers had the turnover that led to the first goal but man is he ever getting better with each game

Wow Balcers

That look

Mmmk 65...

That wasn't a penalty

I'd like to think Jones would do something if he sees Karlsson take a shot from Binnington.

Kobe admitted he wasn't really paying attention to Barnes lol

well that's not something you see every day

I would hope so, hard to tell though. Jones is difficult to read, unless you're trying to score on him.

I think what's helping for Balcers is that he's the defacto puck distributor on his line right now. Doesn't have to share the puck with Hertl as much.

That save makes up for the last goal

Turtle?

Dubs is huge. Of all people to mess with.

What a great pass by Labanc

these have been some good entries.

Donato is wrapping everything around...

Lol "Let's see if Marleau can win one"
"Nope"

Pooooke! Nice!

you know what's great about Marleau right now? he's closing in on the games played record but he's not really playing soft hockey.

What a save Dubes!!!

I feel like the sharks find ways not to score while everyone else find a way to score

Whoo. Terrible angle by Knyzhov, great poke by Dubnyk, and then...

that's a terrible softie after a great save

Page number: 12

Lol

Still makes a great gif!

Bad bad goal there.

okay that's a good save

I want Binnington back.

I was happy that Binnington got yanked, but now it's occurred to me:
That means we're facing a backup goalie now. In other words, the Sharks are f***ed.

That goal ruins a great save.

Simek more dangerous than Marleau, confirmed.
I made myself sad now.

Yeah we're not scoring on this guy.

Was it really a great save? I want to see the replay, but it looked like to me that Dubnyk misread the play, and then hit his panic button with the sprawling poke check. It worked, but your average goaltender makes that check on his feet.

Most enjoyable game to watch this season.

Way to draw a penalty there at the end.

Drew a penalty.

Sharks will hit pay dirt in the 3rd. They just need to keep up the same effort level.

man.

Now Berube will cry some more

Hey, that was the second period. All good now

32 shots thru 2. Come on, go get this win! Kane AND Meier hat tricks!

Haha gotta be careful though, he'll unleash the headshotters. Parros is probably on the phone now telling him no one will get suspended for any headshots against the Sharks.

? They dont need to be told that

Ok, lucky save. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Labanc set up two beautiful plays in a row and got zilch

Who wants to get ankle picked?

This could be a pesky playoff team if they had average goaltending.

Page number: 13

100% agree. Like the mid 00's Predators.

You'd think average goaltending wouldn't be too much to ask for but it's been 3 seasons of garbage goaltending. How hard it it to have a goalie be over .900 sv pct?

why does this powerplay insist on playing the puck near ROR??

womp womp.

couture basically fed that breakout for the blues.

that was a terrible terrible pass, couture

Keep the puck low unless you have support. f*** A couture

Labanc!!!

Banc-er!!

Crazy game we got here

This is a weird game.

Randy is basically pre-narrating tonight.

John Leonard: great pass or crazy pass? Bit of both?

bonc

Yep

Wtf

Haha ok not funny anymore, guys

jeez

FFS
4 goals off turnovers from the boards!

f*** defense. All my homies hate defense

too easy

Vlasic's rubbed off on the rest of the team.

Lol Randy talking about Dubnyk outlasting Binnington. Difference is Dubnyk is our best shot

Page number: 14

Couture!!!

Juicy Cooter!!

This game...

this game is f***ing dumb

Lmao

Lol game of the year

LOLOLOL

Bonkers

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

First to 10 wins.

that was crazy!

for the blues fans, this game is probably a nightmare. for us, this is a revelation lol.

My Youtube TV is pretty far behind. I saw posts saying Couture scored, but it was like a full minute and a half before I actually saw the goal.
This game is wild.

can someone explain why Karlsson didnt get the apple when Kane scored?

Hopefully we don't regret our 2-point conversion attempt

Hey Dubnyk make a stop

Jeeeeeeeezus Dubnyk

Might be time for a change Boogie. Let's go with the empty net

Maybe.

Why did Simek leave the front of the net there?

too goddamn easy

3 f***ing guys puck watching on a guy who is harmless.
f***ing stupid

Page number: 15

What the hell is going on in this game???

can someone explain why Karlsson didnt get the apple when Kane scored? it was the goal where karlsson got it out of the zone and kane scored on a break

You might as well take both goalies out and see which defense holds. That's what this period feels like.

This game is from the 80's where goalies didn't matter

can someone explain why Karlsson didnt get the apple when Kane scored? it was the goal where karlsson got it out of the zone and kane scored on a break

Once you get on the ride, you ain't getting off until the end.

This is good Saturday night entertainment at least

I'd say pull Dubnyk but we have the two worst goalies in the NHL....so whatever

Blues player touched it before.

Imagine the decibel level if 17,562 were there

What defence?

lmao this game has been wild, is this what 80s hockey was like?

This is embarrassing.

I wasn't even sure if I wanted to watch this game but glad I did. This is unexpectedly entertaining.

Saving Jones for the shootout, savvy

Ok time for sharks shorty

Oof

more so for the blues than the sharks imo. this is kinda par for the course for us, except we're actually playing pretty good.

Marleau with the Justin Braun ill-timed penalty

this is NOT a f***ing penalty

I don't think anyone SNOGged a football game...

Can anyone tell me why we are bothering with goaltenders this game?

WAIT A SECOND. We need to get to the shootout so there'd be something to gain by putting jones in.

The level of fail right there was full shork

oh kane...

Page number: 16

Lmao

This universe is weird.

very sharky plays there

So the Blues are on a power play and the Sharks had two outstanding chances. That feels like Sharks Hockey we all know and love.

Blues killed their own pp

Ouch

Save us, Rudy.

Labanc makes some odd choices when he passes up shots to make stupid moves

i don't think we're scoring again but this has been fun.

Donato looks goods but he's being to greedy

"here comes Hoffman. One man back: Vlasic."
*hyperventilating intensifies*

Vlasic wtf are you doing

Screw the high pick, I wanna beat these ***holes.

That ref has screened Burns like at least 3 times this game...

If you're gonna call offside, don't wait 2 seconds to call it

If the Sharks scratch Vlasic for Cleasson I doubt they're worse off...

Had to wait till the Blues bench called it for them

Yeah, no shit

Husso is going to be the difference.

Le sigh

Sharks EN, save percentage rises

well good try.

When a player punches Kane, 0 refs or linesman react.
When Kane hits anyone, they all converge.
Every f***ing time

Even with his two goals, Meier has 0 hockey IQ. Just shoots it from every position.

I.lkve that gamby is taking this face off because reasons

Page number: 17

he made a nice play there after all

losing once wasn't devastating enough. Let's roll the clock back so they can lose twice tonight.

what was that whistle

What a cluster

Go after Steve Ott!

seriously, brainless decisions with the puck and no idea where to be without the puck.

Well f*** the blues but at least it was entertaining and our draft pick is a bit better now

isnt he the best faceoff guy on the team?
he was also on the ice at puck drop

6 goals for, regulation loss. Sharks hockey. Ugh.

Keep the L's coming

goaltending lets us down again

I demand a 4th and maybe 5th period.

Well, that was entertaining.
Easily the best game Karlsson has played all season. Keep it up my man.
Just gotta fix those turnovers from the boards, those are killers. 4 of them tonight.

Entertaining loss at least.

What a gong show. At least it wasn't boring?

Should have won, damn
Blues sure look bad, they are gonna miss the playoffs

I could watch games like this while in the hunt for good picks

i think a blues player touched it

Nevermind the defensive play or shoddy goaltending, the biggest travesty is that we still haven't won a game wearing the Heritage sweaters.

Remember when we were so deep at center we had multiple centers on each line that could win draws. Now, Gambrell is our top faceoff guy? Geeze.

Edit: Lag double post lol.

at least karlsson looked pretty good but this team is just mediocre in every way

Missing like half the roster lol.

That ended when they changed some faceoff rules and couture went from a good faceoff guy to a complete disaster.

Page number: 18

At least they played hard the whole way. They were pretty dumb defensively and Dubnyk was dog shit but they kept battling.

I cannot believe we let go of Dell and picked up Dubnyk. Not that Dell is anything great but I mean Dubnyk is and has been washed up. I don't f***ing get it

well.
we are apparently doing the classic sharks record while wearing them too.

Couldn't catch the game because I was working a livestream, but good god those unis are f***ing killer

I will still maintain that Dubnyk was contingent on getting Donato.

Harder for a team that plays defense like this one for sure. And we did ourselves no favors when we traded for Dubnyk.

Blues played us with some of their key guys missing and still managed to win so, its a lottery pick then ey?

Dubnyk and Binnington didn't have it at all today. Berube did the right thing in pulling Bin. Don't know if Jones would have done better but it's hard to do worse than this.

in hindsight, pulling dubnyk probably would've helped. but when your alternative is the worst goalie in the league, it's a tough trigger to pull.

That play and pass by Leonard was world class

I would waive Dubnyk for Melnichuk and I hate that I'm suggesting it because it shows that Nabokov ain't shit as a coach.

Biggest problem they have right now without question. I still think Melnichuk should be getting into games.

a coach can only do so much with the material he has to work with

It's not like he could even be significantly worse

I don't but who knows. I'm glad the team is Starting to show some chemistry in the offensive zone

Yeah but that's most coaches. The great ones do better with shit and even better with better goalies. I had higher hopes for Nabby as a coach than garden variety.

Good game for a rebuilding team: fun to watch and the young guys looked great. Really liking Leonard and Donato on the same line except they need an actual 3C...Balcers still looks great, and Meier and Labanc played better tonight. Gregor is still a solid 4th line LW, and I liked what I saw from Chmelevski. He should get elevated in the lineup...Gambrell was hit or miss, but he's no top-6 center. I think he can be a solid 4C though. Best game of the year for Karlsson for sure...a team that plays like this with speed and skill is ideal for him. Burns on the other hand was abysmal defensively...yikes. Dubnyk pumpkin'd big time as well...a young team that wants to play with pace can't have a goalie giving up so many soft goals back there. Definitely looking like they have a solid amount of 24 and under players though...gotta see if they can keep it up for another 30 games.

Overall the team played well, the goaltending is just comical. Basically they can't allow shots, if they do, they're probably going to lose.

Based on limited views, I'm thinking Gambrell, Gregor, and Chmelevski should be trade pieces when there needs to be a throw-in. These guys are all easily replaceable with seemingly limited potential. Balcers is looking like the last guy to protect. He's running away with that last protection spot.

WTF NHL.com ... they have Karlsson listed as -2. He was on the ice for both Scandella goals and then the Kane wrister. -1.

Binnington is also the king of the clowns. Dude's a pretty good goalie, but, man, is he an unlikable 27 year old man-child.

I really miss having anything resembling good goaltending. Jones' old playoffs runs were incredible. Niemi's Vezina-caliber season was great. The Nabby years... so long ago.

He was on for the shorthanded goal by MacEachern.

Page number: 19

Our fate is that we will continue to trade for good goalies then ruin their confidence, discard them, and start again. I can't see this organization developing a goalie much less keep them from being hung out to dry and worn out regularly. But this won't exclude the possibility of trading for shit goalies either lol

The highlight of my night was Randy breaking down how Timo showed up tonight: "Meier with a pair tonight".....

He wasn't. It was Burns and 4 forwards.

Karlsson had a great game, but what, just one point?

zero

Damn bro what a game

Yeah, that's just what NHL.com is saying. I'm sure they'll fix it.

Once again, if the Sharks score in the first minute of the game, they lose.

Hoping we buyout Jones this summer, let Dubnyk leave and start completely fresh in goal next season. Enough is enough already

Can't see it happening mostly because why bother when they need to be trash next year too? If they can't pay Seattle to take him, buy him out after next season.

I mean it wouldn't make sense to pay Seattle to take him unless it was very cheap as opposed to buying him out. The buyout isn't bad after this year. The 2022 is very stacked and if you get a top 5 pick, you get a potential superstar. It could make sense to wait but it'll depend on if Wilson plans to rebuild on the fly with these big contracts. He's stuck in the middle with this roster his assembled

I wish they would use this jersey with the new crest and go with that as the normal jersey.

Thought he looked just about the best he has so far this season. Seemed like every time Vlasic and Zhnyzov were on the Sharks were getting killed.

I'm biased but I just like the old logo a lot more

Thought this was jL and Balcers best games. Both guys showed some serious skill and compete. Hope we get more of that. Might just be able to outscore their problems if those 2 keep progressing the way they are. Gregor should have had 2 goals tonight and Kane could have had 4. Even Gamby had nice creativity that unfortunately didn't pan out.

I've said it before... the old logo looks like a 5 year old was trying to draw the new logo. It was fine in a vacuum but now that we have the new one, I can't stand the old one.
