GDT: Game 17: Sharks vs. Blues 7:30pm NBCSCA

[SJSharksfan39]

That was a good Sharks win. Felt like a complete game.

 

[coooldude]

Granlund needs to stop trying to make 2-3 extra moves. He consistently makes a good move or decision and then skates/dekes his way into trouble or losing the puck. Happens on the breakaways, happens on break-ins... dude, do less.

Slow-roasted turnovers… a Granlund-Special

 

[Jargon]

The other two games felt like we were just barely holding on to being a hockey team. Today was a the first game this season where they looked like they belonged in the NHL.

 

[karltonian]

Dat's hackey

 

[fasterthanlight]

I'm convinced granlund is controlled by some 11 year old playing NHL on xbox

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

That was a good game by the team. I know we're not gonna be good, but damn that felt good.

I agree. Sometimes you see this with players who don't trust their linemates to make the right play.

 

[TheBeard]

Agreed but Barabanov is probably another couple weeks away so it could change by then.

Maybe but even with hoff’s goals that third line was definitely a liability more often than not tonight.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I’m disappointed Smith didn’t get into a fight to get the Gordie Howe hat trick.

 

[Hodge]

That was a good game by the team. I know we're not gonna be good, but damn that felt good.

Yeah I'm more than happy to watch these big emphatic wins. What pisses me off is when we play like shit but still end up with a point aka half of last season.

 

[karltonian]

Just for one night, this team was the team that AI thinks they are.

 

[TheBeard]

It’s funny how even in our most dominant game we still manage to give up 46 shots.

Didn't run binny enough

It’s funny how even in our most dominant game we still manage to give up 46 shots.

Ehh they led start to finish so getting outshot is expected. They put up 35 which is new.

 

[Skeksis25]

Why Chicago so often dammit.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Maybe but even with hoff’s goals that third line was definitely a liability more often than not tonight.

I agree but I don’t expect that line together long. Kunin deserves a bump after this game and that line doesn’t compliment each other well.

 

[one2gamble]

This was a much better game overall. The blues played like trash but this what I expect most games even though they will still generally lose

 

[LadyStanley]

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

I have higher hopes for Musty. I think he has all the tools to be a high end top 6 guys.

Zetterlund could be a great 3rd liner if he keeps this up, yeah.

I’m hopeful on Smith but I’d feel better if we got Celebrini.

Im all about Esierman the kid is an absolute sniper

Shades of Ekman deking himself right passed the goalie and into the end boards

 

[Pavelski2112]

Imagine having Mike Hoffman score two goals on you in 2023

 

[drunksage]

For people with access to the local channel. it looks like they've brought back something like Shark Byte named "San Jose Sharks: The Chomp." Host is Tara Slone and first episode has a Duclair interview (possibly just a clip of the episode from the podcast The Undercurrent), a segment on local artists who spray-painted walls for use at Sharks media day, and an interview with Charanbir Mahal who's looking to expand the reach of the Sharks to the Indian American community (I think he's the guy who's always in the postgame interview scrums).

 

[zombie kopitar]

oh hey umm , go us

 

[tiburon12]

too late for a SNOG but i'm assuming Faulk gets 2-3 points like he always does

I cursed the shutout

 

[timorous me]

With Eklund getting top line minutes alongside Zetterlund and Hertl, Gushchin up and getting a good chance, and a couple young defensemen in the lineup, this team is actually getting close to being worth looking forward to watching.

I mean, it's not like I wouldn't watch them anyway, I don't have a life, but having even the smallest tingle of excitement at the thought of a game is...a strange feeling.
