GDT: Game 9: Sharks @ Capitals 2pm.

[The Nemesis]

Kunin gets only goal. Maybe that gets him and Eklund some time with Hertl?

Kunin moves up. Eklund moves down.

 

[hohosaregood]

Granlund was good today. His poise with the puck stood out compared to the rest of the team. Skating with the puck and slowing things down to allow his teammates regroup was refreshing. And the offensive instinct and skill he has matches well with Eklund

 

[landshark]

Kunin moves up. Eklund moves down.

But they're bosom buddies. Eklund is the Tom Hanks to Kunin's Peter Scholari!!

SNOG announcement​

The 3-game SNOG streak has been broken.

Haven't we, unlike this team, already exceeded last year's total?

I'm going to have to add another tap to my kegerator to make it through this season...

Don't do it, At this pace you'll be dead from alcohol poisoning before the all-star break.

You're not going to win when you only get 1 goal a game. This game was boring, and after watching what the 49ers did, what a nasty day. At least Kunin got on the board. Kind of a lucky goal, but he's been a whipping boy around here so nice to see something good happen. Hoffman was nowhere to be seen though and Hertl is invisible.

Kunin has been a whipping boy because he is a 4th liner put in a position where he wastes a lot of scoring chances.

All of his goals are like todays - messy net front grinding goals - suitable for 4th liners.

Every two points matters, this is perfect outcome (pretty well played game at least for us, 0pts)

We're definitely pacing to exceed last year's total, but there's still time to hit a slow stretch or four.

You say that like it’s a bad thing…

like 1/3 of our goals this season have been "rebounds" off the back wall lol

I know it’s cliche to say it doesn’t matter how they go in but it just shows how bad the sharks are given they have scored maybe 4 goals that have not been fluky goals.

 

[exchequer]

Pens have way too much talent to not take advantage of our hapless defense. I actually expect that to be a bloodbath.

If we trade Blackwood to them before the game, they'll blow out the Sharks

Eklund is so nasty, going to be exciting once he has some talent around him.

Absolutely. Sadly, it just won't be with the Sharks.

So... one goal?

 

[Le Rosbeef]

I'll back my Sharks the same way I have for the past 30 years, but let's be honest; this looks closer to an AHL-calibre team than an NHL one at the moment.

This was a game between two poor hockey clubs. Sure, I cheered loudly for Kunin's goal and groaned at their go-ahead, but I accept it's going to be this way more often than not this year.

A lottery pick in 24 and 25, along with some development of the younger players is all we have to look forward to really. Hopefully we can get some good additional assets when Hertl and Couture are inevitably traded too.

Buckle up peeps.

If the Sharks are AHL caliber (which I agree with), what does that make the Barracuda? You're definitely right about buckling up - it's not much prettier there.

The Cuda would be lucky to be a good ECHL team with McCarthy as coach.

Also includes interview with Mark Purdy about Jumbo.

 

[stator]

Best skater, I would say. Blackwood still has an edge, for now.

Don't worry, Sharks goalie coach will ruin him, and he'll get rundown by his defense.
