Series Talk: (P3) San Jose Sharks vs. (M2) Pittsburgh Penguins Pt. II

[Groo]

Despite being behind, the Sharks played the entire 3rd period as if they were afraid to lose.

 

[Ranksu]

You guys deserved much more. I feel you guys totally.

Silence nod from Blues fan.

Thank you. Who were you referring to as "you guys?" If the fans, maybe that's true, and I really appreciate you saying that. If it's the Sharks, then I disagree...they got outplayed and did not deserve more.

I want this to be over and next year to start. I hope it won't take us another 25 years to see the finals again.

I'm very curious to see how the Pens system fares next season. I really wonder how sustainable that style of play is; that was the largest stylistic mismatch I have ever seen in a series before. I have never seen a system make that much of a difference. Other teams in the conference and possibly around the league are going to HAVE to respond to it, the mismatch is way too significant.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

It won't. Team is in a good spot and thanks to a great S&C staff and med staff usually get everyone squared away for the summer.

I am alot more confident in the Sharks going into next season as I was coming into this season. And the biggest reason is Martin Jones. We knew he had alot of hype but he was still unproven and we weren't sure what to expect. well he is no longer unproven and has proved to be the real deal.

He still has some issues that I've been thinking he's had all year but he's close to being a stud. He still has some issues with his angles on streaking plays down the side but I think that's something that improves with experience.

So yea, not too worried about him in the long run.

 

[Alwalys]

What kind of sucks is ... Donskoi didn't work with the Joes. But maybe it's easy to get dazzled with Donskoi's plays with the puck, for some reason Deboer never really recognized it and never went to the only combination that actually did approach the dominance of Hertl-Thornton-Pavelski, Couture-Thornton-Pavelski. That like should have been reunited every game after game 3 but it was never seen again.

 

[Alwalys]

*line. When they needed to dominate and get chances, that was the only line that could do it. Instead logan got pretty much crushed with Melker and Marleau on his wings.

Oh and holy crap did paul martin bottom out or what. Holy **** he fell off a literal statistical cliff these last 2 games. You gotta wonder if he got hurt or something.

 

[BCShark]

one shot in the last period, we cant say we went down fighting

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Yeah we can actually. The game isn't that black and white.

 

[Saved]

Yeah we can actually. The game isn't that black and white.

Lol, no, you didn't.

 

[BCShark]

Yeah we can actually. The game isn't that black and white.

patty and joe are probably already over the loss. dum dum dee dum, we tried hard, good run blah blah blah

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yep. You are right. Because the fans feel the pain of a loss a lot more than the players do.

 

[pappaf2]

Apparently no surgery needed for Hertl so that's good
