GDT: Game 55: Sharks vs. Golden Knights 1:00pm NBCSCA

[sharski]

(Nancy Kerrigan voice) "Whyyyyyyyyy?"

Too soon

 

[DG93]

Sharks played like 2 minutes of Hockey and gave up the rest of the day. This draft better be worth it because this is bordering on unwatchable.

Get ready for more of the same in 2024-2025 because Will Smith (and likely Musty?) and the 2024 1st round pick won't be ready for at least another year. The team may be a bit more exciting in 2025-2026 when those 3 are ready (hopefully) + maybe Bystedt + a new coach with Quinn's contract expiring after next season.

Musty may make the team and if we get Celebrini he’d be in the lineup. We should have a healthy Hertl and Logan and Mukhamadulin will be getting top 4 minutes. Gush should also see ample time.

We should be exceptionally more entertaining next year.

We'll see. Couture's career could be over if he keeps getting flare-ups (hopefully not), Gushchin hasn't shown he's NHL ready, and assuming we get Celebrini is a big leap (I'm really hoping we do but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves). Hertl may get traded during the offseason, but we'll see. Mukh should be in the lineup, that's true.

The trade deadline is the only "silver lining" of this team right now. One could argue that the season is a distraction from the Trade Deadline.

 

[The Nemesis]

Is the trade deadline a distraction? Yes. It's a welcome distraction.

 

[coooldude]

At least the Unis look fresh!

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Just got through the recording of this one. Not only was it a disaster I had to sit through the Vee-Gee-Kays feed. Almost but not quite as bad as having to listen to Pitbull...

 

[Hangemhigh]

Took 2 cousins from Japan to this disaster, their first hockey game. It sucked, but the worse part was Knights fans in front, to the right, and to the left. They were loud, numerous, and annoying.

At least it was funny when Vlasic tried to clear by shooting the puck into Eklund's back.

 

[Hangemhigh]

Also disappointed with Sturm not wearing 19.

 

[Barrie22]

Also disappointed with Sturm not wearing 19.

There most likely has been an internal message to all players that 19 is off limits.

 

[LadyStanley]

Sharkiezilla destroys Vegas

 

[Hangemhigh]

There most likely has been an internal message to all players that 19 is off limits.

Sturm 19 should be a retro collectable. Then the modern ones would be popular as well.

 

[LadyStanley]

More Sharkiezilla

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Wait, Hoffman's still on the team??

Oh yeah I forgot he was a hot trade commodity

Late SNOG announcement​

Apparently I was so distraught by the game that I didn't announce that the SNOG attempts were nearly as bad.
