GDT: Edm @ Sharks 3/24/16 7:30 PM Csn-Ca

[BaileyMacTavish]

I'm still really miffed about that game.

1. I hate the Oilers
2. They just gave up after being AHEAD. THEY GAVE UP AFTER BEING UP BY 2! WHY.
3. Of course Donskoi got injured, it wouldn't be a total ****show with out it, solidifying my already irrational hatred towards that pathetic franchise.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

That was really bad hockey playing.

I'm kinda confused how a bunch of guys that have never even smelled the playoffs, or maybe caught a faint whiff of it once, can take a night off against that team.

There was a whole lotta talk about getting back at Nurse on the scoreboard, and instead it was a fight and an embarrassing loss on home ice. I think it's obvious now which storyline is more fulfilling.

Same reason it happens in every sport. Sharks took it to them early then let their guard down. Edmonton was relaxed, made some plays, then got confident. Sharks started to press and made mistakes. **** games happen. All can be forgotten if they forget this one and play better going forward.

 

[Bleedred]

The last 2 period's were the worst effort I've seen out of this team since probably December.

I'd have a hard time remembering worse in this calendar year.

 

[zombie kopitar]

It really doesn't matter...they'll be the bottom Pacific team in all likelihood.

What it shows is that this team truly is a functioning unit...when one of their core players are out (Couture, Vlasic), they're just pretty crap
If everyone can get healthy, Jones can get rested, Thornton continues to beast; this team will be freaking scary in the playoffs. Prettayy freaking scary.

Just steal a game in Anaheim, and hope LA gets Nashville (I've said that a few times, and their last meeting confirmed that they just might be their kryptonite). Most optimistic I've been going into the playoffs in years.



But for real though, completely **** 2nd period. Just horrible

 

[Alwalys]

In case you didn't notice, they are sitting dead last in the conference, and were (until the Sharks game) looking good to get last place in the league.

I will notice that Edmonton didn't win the game. The Sharks stopped playing. They floated out there against ALL lines.

record is irrelevant to the results of a game, especially when that player being injured for a huge chunk of the season had something to do with the record.

you lose vlasic, you can't manage mcdavid, it takes your top line out of the game. losing donsoi takes the 3rd line out of the game which is absolutely a strength of the team. that only leaves the 2nd line which isn't a scoring line for us this season.

that said, the team coherence really collapsed over the last 2 periods.

 

[Igright]

Please please we just need Donskoi back. Our lines look so much worse without him.

Probably he is kept for the playoffs not to make injury worse.

lol sharks

 

[DefaultSharkie6]

well if the yote can beat dallas we can right right right??

Doubt it. Same was said for the last decade. Maybe if the Sharks actually do something I'll agree.

 

[Igright]

It also depends on Dallas

 

[DefaultSharkie6]

It also depends on Dallas

yea that might be a let down too

sharks they love to break our hearts

 

[Episkey]

Well, back below .500 at SAP Center. Worst team at home currently in a playoff spot. And it's really not close apart from Boston.

However, if Chicago does fall to the first wild card spot, this could be a blessing in disguise.

 

[drunksage]

Enough with the fanbase talk. Keep discussion focused on the Sharks or the Oilers, not the Edmonton fans, not the city of Edmonton, not any of that.

 

[Hangemhigh]

Does this mean Reimer will be our backup next year also?

aww you're a good mod to reign in on our ********.

 

[Grave]

Luckily I had a good summer yield on my farm.

 

[Ser Jorah Mormont]

Glad I stopped watching after the first period. Holy ****

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That game was awful. No passion, no urgency, and that third period was boring as hell. I was really hoping they would just take Star Wars Night to the next level and show The Force Awakens on the Scoreboard instead of watching the Sharks because it would have been more entertaining.

I did read that Donskoi went down? I didn't see what happened. I hope he's ok.

Given they (Peter) wouldn't even talk about Donskoi is probably a bad sign.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

But they don't talk about most injuries, so what difference does this one make.

 

[Coily]

He just said "We'll see tomorrow" and moved on. Vlasic and Nieto, he at least gave an update, told everyone they would be out for a while and talked about it. Maybe he was just pissed and wanted to get the interview over with.

Usually you know about an injury without an hour or two. Donskoi left with ~5 minutes in the 2nd period. Plenty of time to know what's going on.

 

[Limekiller]

See, the Blues loss, I didn't mind, since they played well and played hard, and it was just a couple bounces either way that decided it.

This loss. This loss I mind. They ****ing fell asleep after the 1st period. This was AWFUL. The worst game I've seen them play probably since the Arizona loss.

 

[Summer Rose]

Lost to the Oilers while I was at the Coyotes-Stars game?

Ouch

Feel free to blame me for the loss.

 

[Solmors]

I'm glad I had to work and didn't have to witness that.

How much of this is on Reimer? His stats for the game are atrocious. 16 saves on 21 shots for a .762 sv%. All even strength...

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

Those last two period were horrible by you guys. like you guys had 36 giveaways, I don't think Edmonton has ever gotten that many giveaways in a game.
