Sharks in 6

 

[ChompChomp]

Losing home ice sucks, but for me, personally, I can't watch a Sat night game live, and the Barracuda play Fri, so Sharks opening at home was probably gonna be Thurs / Sat, and Ducks at home could very well be Wed/Fri.

Regardless of limping in, this is who we want with Gibson and Fowler out. And I'm excited for revenge for 09. Go Sharks!!!!!

I’d be more confident if we had Ryan in the lineup. The question is if Goodrow and Fehr come back who gets pushed out? Gambrell obviously but Sorensen has looked great. Will Karlsson be ready and regain his spot? I have a terrible feeling Deboer is going to f**k this lineup up so badly.

Sharks in 4, +7

Isn't Goodrow done due to surgery?

Maybe, thought I read he was skating? Could be wrong

 

[Friday]

Hes skating but it was a finger/hand issue

Maybe, thought I read he was skating? Could be wrong

I'm sure he is but I thought his hand was broken.

Need fehr and Hansen in as well as ryan

 

[weastern bias]

100 point season

Have to play every series on the road

This f***ing team

This f***ing league

 

[Lebanezer]

Sharks record with Paul Martin this season is 7-6-1, so they're gonna have to win every series in 7 games.

What's our record with Martin & Ryan?

 

[WSS11]

I'm sure he is but I thought his hand was broken.

Need fehr and Hansen in as well as ryan

Thanks, guess I missed that. Agree with you on personnel but it probably will only be Fehr coming back. Knowing Deboer we’ll probably get:

Kane-Pavs-donskoi
Hertl-Couture-Boeds
Meier-tierney-Labanc
Karlsson-Fehr-Ward

 

[Lebanezer]

What's our record with Martin & Ryan?

1-0-0

 

[hohosaregood]

1-0-0

Alright, I'm feeling pretty good about my sweep prediction then.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Jumbo will make a surprise return and challenge Getzlaf to a fight on the opening faceoff.

 

[Jaleel619]

I like this challenge. I think the sharks can win. A fool will say it'll be easy, but I think the sharks have the edge.

This ****ing team

This ****ing league

If I had to bet, I'd guess that we will have home ice in the 2nd round against LA after they dispatch Vegas

 

[Lebanezer]

Alright, I'm feeling pretty good about my sweep prediction then.

Martin only played that game with Ryan because Dillon got a 1 game suspension. I'd love for Ryan to return to the lineup but I think Deboer sees him as an LHD only, and unless someone gets hurt, he's not coming in.

 

[treefiddy]

If Jumbo isn’t back for this series I don’t want him on the team next season. Give me Tavares.

If Jumbo plays we have a shot. If not the PP and turnovers cost us this series quick.

Smart thing to do would do Ryan-Burns and have Martin-Dillon do situational off-side playing. I know they both have history playing on their off-side. Other option is Ryan-Dillon.

 

[Kcoyote3]

What I want:

Kane-Thornton-Pavs
Hertl-Couture-Boedker
Meier-Tierney-Donskoi
Hansen-Fehr-Labanc

Vlasic-Braun
Martin-Burns
Dillon-Ryan

 

[Jaleel619]

Like I said at the beginning of our season, we'll only lose 3 games this playoffs.

 

[WSS11]

What I want:

Kane-Thornton-Pavs
Hertl-Couture-Boedker
Meier-Tierney-Donskoi
Hansen-Fehr-Labanc

Vlasic-Braun
Martin-Burns
Dillon-Ryan

Perfect lineup but assuming Thornton can’t go add Sorensen to the 4th line and bump donskoi up to the first. I think I’m going to reserve judgment until i see what Deboer throws out in practice

 

[Lebanezer]

Smart thing to do would do Ryan-Burns and have Martin-Dillon do situational off-side playing. I know they both have history playing on their off-side. Other option is Ryan-Dillon.

I'm all for either of those options. Here's my guess at the lineup if everyone is healthy except Thornton.

Kane-Pavs-Donskoi
Hertl-Couture-Boedker
Meier-Tierney-Labanc
Karlsson-Fehr-Goodrow
Martin-Burns
Vlasic-Braun
Dillon-Demelo

If Goodrow can't go, I'd expect Ward to be put in first.

If Thornton is healthy enough to play I would guess

Kane-Thornton-Pavs
Hertl-Couture-Boedker
Meier-Tierney-Donskoi
Karlsson-Fehr-Labanc
Same D

Although who knows with Labanc, maybe Deboer scratches him for Ward or Goodrow.
