GDT: PDSF Game #7 - Sharks vs Kings - Banana! - 7:00pm PST CSN-CA NBCSN KFOX - Part II

Jonathan Toews disagrees with this statement.

Again, not saying it can't be done. Crosby disagrees as well. I'm just saying it must be tough to be those guys.

 

[glasgow26]

At least the Avs blew it toi. The Wild suck.

Yeah, for some reason the Avs losing makes me feel a tiny bit better. Which is weird because I was planning on rooting for them if they won and the Sharks lost tonight. I guess the Avs and Blues both losing makes me feel like we weren't the only team that choked, even though our choke was way worse.

 

[GodHatesTheSharks]

Speechless, heart broken..

McLellan, Niemi, Thornton, Marleau and Boyle need to go. It's time for the Sharks to finally start over from scratch.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

If we got Weber for something like Pavelski, Burns, and a 2015 first, we would instantly be the best team in the NHL

Wilson did go after Weber when he signed an OS with Philly, that was speculated by a user who claimed he saw the two of them walking out of a steak shop with an Asian man in San Jose, and later confirmed by some TSN analyst (I think it was either Dreger or Mckenzie, but it was somebody with credibility)

Weber-Vlasic would be like Weber-Suter but look better cause we have better forwards

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Also, Braun did nothing even close to fall back to earth. He was paired with Brad Stuart, a man who should NOT be in the NHL, and still looked pretty good playing the toughest minutes on the team.

 

[SJSharks42]

Full stop, Braun should be playing with Vlasic. They were amazing together. Our second and third pairings are entirely up for grabs.

 

[hohosaregood]

So I guess we're all aboard the Vlasic for captain bandwagon? All in favor say aye. All opposed, stay quiet. I need this to be as lopsided as possible.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Good series..you guys have a talented club. Just a bit of retooling.

If I had a nickle for every time someone has said that about SJ

 

[li0lsh]

Any news regarding the post game interviews? I can't seem to find anything.

The Avs didnt really choke. They are a very young talented team that is just gaining playoff experience. Their fans probably will see their season as a success.

The Blues are basically what were from 2006-2009. They still have a long way to go to catch our decade of choking.

We are the biggest chokers. No point in rationalizing this loss.

 

[LGB51]

I really feel for you guys, once The Blues choked yet again, I really wanted you guys to go all the way this year. If it couldn't be us, I wanted your team to finally break through at least. You guys have such a great team, I wish the Blues had many of the type of players your team has. Best of luck moving forward.

Signed,

Someone who understands your pain.

Weber would cost San Jose a lot more than that. Start with Hertl.

Thanks bud. Blues are my second favorite team, hated seeing them drop to the Hawks especially with the Seabrook situation.

Start with, Doug isn't going to even try.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Coming over with an olive branch.

Said this in the series thread but Sharks are a worthy and amazing opponent.

Just a bummer someone had to go home. epic series, great hockey, Sharks have a hell of a team and it's tough to see one of us go out early. Love chilling with you guys here and at the rinks.

I loved the postgames from all the Sharks though, Couture really owned it. Sharks fans should take pride in that--every one of those guys knew what was up and though many will say "blah blah results" year after year your organization is doing something right to always finish high in the standings--just need a break or two to take it to the next level (and maybe a D revamp, but I digress).

Cheers to a great series.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

He tried before...

 

[booost]

was as an exciting year as a sharks fan. thanks sharks for the good memories. can't wait to go at it again next season.

We are the biggest chokers. No point in rationalizing this loss.

They did have that period from the late 90s to early 2000s so in a way, we're kindred spirits in terms of choking...

 

[KINGS17]

Start with, Doug isn't going to even try.

Extremely tough series for you guys.

It's hard to know which young guys are going to become proven winners until they actually do it. Many Kings fans had their doubts about Kopitar a few years ago. Just seemed like too nice a guy to ever have a killer instinct.

We waited 45 years. Don't wish that on anyone.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Hey guys. Was rooting for the Sharks in these playoffs, disappointing result to say the least. I hope you guys don't mind a fan from another team dropping his two cents in here. Before Thornton was traded to the Sharks, he had 33 points in 23 games for the Bruins that season. 73 points in 77 games the season before that, and 101 points in 77 games 2 seasons before the trade.

The Bruins GM at the time questioned Thornton's on ice and off ice character even while he was putting up huge numbers. He decided to trade Thornton and build the team around a young Patrice Bergeron, who he thought was much better to lead the Bruins.

I think its time for the Sharks management to realize that as good as Thornton is, and as many points as he puts up, its time to build the team around someone else. Couture, Vlasic, who knows. This is just my 2 cents. Hope you guys have a better year next year.

 

[Evincar]

I know their history but Im referring more their current core under Hitchcock which is only in their 3rd year together.

 

[WantonAbandon]

He tried before...

There were rumors....

 

[SactoShark]

There were rumors....

More than rumors. Weber was spotted having dinner with Wilson in San Jose. Multiple accounts. I don't mean to say that it was ever going to happen, but it was more than explored.

 

[Anomie2029]

After sometime to cool down, we have a lot of positives but we have a lot to work on:
- goalie situation
- defensive lines (Vlasic - Braun should be top pair)
- mental attitude - we crumbled when pressure was on.
