GDT: Game 25: Sharks @ Lightning, 4pm

[PackShark]

Tampa has looked human lately, but not sure we have enough firepower to win this one on a back to back.

Lightning 3-2
Killorn, Hedman, Palat

Hansen, Ward

 

[Hinterland]

You might as well respond to my post about Heed in the roster thread if you're going to try to re-start this argument. Donskoi+Heed>>Coburn+Dotchin

Once again you're comparing apples and bananas since Donskoi is a forward. Not sure it's even worth the trouble to continue to discuss this with you. You're probably just trolling anyway. Can't be serious to compare Heed and Hedman or claim that he, who was scratched before getting injured, would be the best sharks defenseman...and all this purely because of a few silly shot based numbers. Gimme a break

You still haven't explained how the Sharks play better without Heed. Their record is worse without him. Until you explain your argument or admit you were wrong I am not further discussing this with you.

Thank god...

Burns, Labanc

Kutcherov, Johnson, Stamkos, Johnson
Couture

 

[do0glas]

Also can't wait for Labanc to be scratched after actually looking good last game. Let's just ruin this kid.

One thing ive noticed with deboer is that as long as you can get the puck around without turning it over in the neutral zone or d zone and look halfway decent offensively youll stick around.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

5-3 SJ

Hertl, Sorenson, Timo, Cooch, Vlassic

Kucherov Point Johnson

If you're named "Melker Karlsson" or "Joel Ward" then that works as well

 

[hohosaregood]

Tbf Ward's improved on his slow and apparently injured start

 

[Munnyro]

3-1 Lightning
Johnson, Stamkos, Killorn
Meier

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I haven’t SNOG’d in a while so here’s one. Not really confident in this game

Bolts 5 (Kucherov, Hedman, Stamkos x3)

Sharks 3 (Pavelski, Couture, Ward)

 

[DrFeelgood]

SNOG
3-2 Sharks
Couture, Hertl, Burns
Stamkos, Kucherov

I don't actually think we will win this game, but I will never predict a loss for us

Tbf Ward's improved on his slow and apparently injured start

If he was injured then why did DeBoer repeatedly play him in the top9 or even top6 including PP time? I like Ward but he's not gonna get faster and shouldn't play anywhere else than 4th line and PK. No matter what. Period.

The same reason he keeps riding Pavelski?

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

That hit was sick but it was also low key not smart

Led to a good chance for Stamkos

They had it covered pretty well.

 

[nabbyfan]

Any ideas where Boedker could've been banged up last night? Didn't catch the whole game due to work...I know he's the whipping boy but I feel like his play has improved.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Good pace. Already a post and a couple good looks.

 

[Barrie22]

Pavelski at 50% is a better option then any one that would be taking his spot.

Ward at 100% is barely better then the options that would be taking his spot.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

These are the types of games DeMelo struggles with.

False.

 

[Barrie22]

Games against teams that actually have talented players?

 

[Barrie22]

False.

No it really isn't. There is nobody in the system that can take pavs spot and be just as good as he is even when injured.

Boedker a healthy scratch..? It’s a Christmas miracle!
