Sharks roster discussion

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

To go along with it, Ladd has a full NMC this year and most players aren't inclined to waive that when they're on a playoff team during the season. And Nelson scoring is probably going to be a good enough reason to hang on to him while they're in the playoff mix so I don't see anything there with regards to a trade. I'd bet on the Sharks trading for the Sedins before trading for anyone on the Islanders.

We have assets with crap contracts we could send over and there is such a think as salary retained, NMC get waived from time to time. I'm just looking at teams the have excess scoring / possible players available.

The answer is Tim Burke, I’m only being half sarcastic.

It starts with Hasso who has total confidence in DW who has total confidence in Burke. Nothing will change as long as Hasso owns the Sharks.

So we are f***ed. Great.

Yeah you are tottaly right burmistrov did not throw his shoulder into coutures head.

Only us shark fans can't see how burmistrov throwing a hit on a player that wasn't even 20 feet from the puck isn't even worth a minor penalty.

I'm also a Sharks fan, but will not hold anything back where it is due. Couture is a soft player. Burmistrov didn't even know Couture was there until the last second. No no minor warranted. Keep your head up Loggie, this is hockey.....

How does getting concussed make you a soft player? What is happening here haha

What a load of BS...and the sad thing is a lot of people in the hockey community have this outdated, short-sighted, and dangerous mindset. This BS argument is what leads to concussions, CTE, and ruined post-hockey lives for these players (and it affects their families big-time as well).

Burmistrov of course knew Couture was there. He was purposely trying to bump him to keep him from getting in on the puck. I doubt he intended on popping Couture in the jaw but he absolutely intended on bumping Couture there. You don't even know how hockey works if you believe what you just typed here.

You’ll find that many posters can be counted on to say the same things time and time again. There are particularly a small group of posters who insist that all Sharks are soft, and that’s why they lose, and that playing rough and physical is more important than scoring goals. And also apparently that gettin concussed makes a player soft. It’s a new statement, but it’s not surprising given the source.

I truly hope that you are just the garden variety internet troll and not truly that ignorant.

No, I don't know how hockey works; I've just been playing hockey for 40 years and against some NHL players.

I'll give it the interference call, but again, Couture should have been ready.

Correct, you don't know how hockey works if you're even being hesitant on giving that an interference call. I don't care what your playing experience is. It's never been the case that a player should be ready to be hit in the jaw when they don't have the puck and aren't anywhere near the damn thing. You possibly having played the game doesn't give you free reign to say any ridiculous thing you want about the game and make it true.

You missed the point. Firts, I wasn't hesitatnt to call it interference; my point was that Couture is a low skating player, wasn't watching out for himself, and got decked by Burmistrov of all players. Second, I didn't use the fact that I have played hockey for 4 decades in my explanation. I was simply answering what you had said about not knowing the game.
Couture should have been aware what was going on around him. If he plays like that, he will be out of the game very soon....

 

[LA Shark]

Oh geeze, now the I play in a rec league so my opinion is superior argument. Bill Belicheck, probably the best coach in the history of the NFL, never played a down of professional football, yet still seems to have a superior knowledge of the game than 99.9% of people that played in the league, weird.

Give it up, you have an ignorant and outdated point of view on the game.

You absolutely were hesitant to call it interference when you initially said no interference so that's bull from the get-go. Secondly, being a low-skating player has no bearing on whether you should be ready to be illegally hit by anyone and yes Burmistrov knew he was bumping Couture and doing so illegally at the time. And it is absolutely possible for someone to have played the game for any length of time and not know a damn thing about the game. If your playing experience is true, you're the living embodiment of that being true just based on this one instance because you're flat out wrong on the whole thing. Being aware of potentially being hit without the puck wasn't even a thing when you supposedly started playing the game in the late 70's much less now. Get with the times, bro.

Internet made you a hockey expert of somekind ?
I know that's a common misconception but, widely held view.
How else can you seem equal

That's good. It doesn't mean those that don't or haven't played can't become one. It all depends on whether you have the eye for it and know how to process the information available appropriately.

So what's it like to take a puck to the chops ?
Score the winning goal ?

Hurts like a mofo to take a puck to the chops. I've had it happen a couple times myself. Scoring the winning goal wouldn't be something I've experienced because I was a goalie when I played. It doesn't mean I don't know what they're looking at and what tends to succeed for them. One doesn't need to actually experience those things to understand them and analyze it. And I've experienced at least a certain side of the game. I've never said that experience doesn't help but it's not a requirement.

Soo your saying you need have scored a winning goal in order to be able to analyze hockey? Really, that's the argument your going to go with...because that's somehow relevant in any way to us debating the mindset that if you get a concussion your soft...
