Come on, it's Preseason. Don't get yourselves suspended for opening night.

 

[hohosaregood]

man like 3 different guys punched Burroughs

 

[PattyLafontaine]

so 2-1 should be a suspension right?

 

[Pavelski2112]

Love it

 

[Bizz]

Dubois is the biggest cheapshot artist in the Pacific Division. f***ing clown.

True

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Ridiculous that this is even strength.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Are they going easy because it's Preseason. Didn't someone on the Sharks get a 10 minute misconduct on Tuesday for something that looked less worse?

Of course all the penalties are being announced and the Kings announcers aren't saying what they are.

 

[Bizz]

King's homers whining about Knyzhov's weak slash off that faceoff but never showed the two handed slash from Dubois on Zadina.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Kings players are truly low IQ

 

[Bizz]

Ferraro off in no man's land and the Kings score in OT right away.

 

[hohosaregood]

oh no im getting flashbacks

 

[Pavelski2112]

Well that was anticlimactic

 

[Alaskanice]

Ugh. Nice comebacks all night. Here comes the season.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Well, that's it for the preseason. In one week we get Randy and Bret/Drew/Whoever for a long season of whatever this team will be. I'm anxious and excited about it. At least there are no major injuries.

 

[Bleedred]

Blackwood actually had a pretty good game I thought, until that crummy OT winner.

 

[Mafoofoo]

What a lame ending. The kings fans near me acting like they won the Stanley cup

 

[SjMilhouse]

Ended up getting the broken Mario Ferraro stick that led to a goal against. The perfect souvenir for this season

Crappy one to let in, but across the grain shot can be deceptive. Really didn't like the time and space that was given to a noted shooter like Kempe.

Overtime is always about time and space. Playing man to man is very difficult to do when every player is moving. Trading chances is the best to expect.

Of course, there is more time and space, but that's where awareness really comes into play. Kempe shouldn't ever be given that amount of space in the high slot because of his genuine shooting threat.

I still chuckle every time I'm reminded Granlund, Duclair, Hoffman, and even Zadina/Rutta/Blackwood are all Sharks now. What a random bunch of players to add to the leagues worst team. I know all rebuilding teams go through this phase but it's very weird not really wanting to invest in any of these players.

We’re the “Major League 2” of the nhl

 

[DG93]

Ferraro is definitely going to be one of the tank commanders this season...he still looks lost. I think he's our Kris Russell lol (great dude, good leader, blocks shots, awful at everything else)

That was Ferraro who blindly threw the puck up the boards to try to get it out of the zone (that led to the goal), right?

If so, it really dawned on me what Ferraro's biggest issue is, because I've been talking about it lately in terms of Thrun, who seems to be the opposite: Ferraro just doesn't have poise on the puck--he's always rushing, too amped up, and too often doesn't take the split second needed to make the right play.

It's frustrating because I feel like some of these bad habits have come about after he came into the league and showed his potential. He's regressed in some really disappointing and significant ways.

I’m having a hard time figuring him out. Positionally he seemed ok to me. But when it came to any kind of situations where the puck moved quickly laterally he seemed kind of slow to me. Maybe that’s due to all the injuries he has had?

I assume he be Kahkonnen’s backup this season?
