GDT: 10/2/19 Season Opener NBCSN 7:30pm: Sharks @ Golden Knights Part 1: Payback?

[Lebanezer]

I don't photoshop, I GIF or use words

Sharks lines

Meier - Couture - Unproven rookie who inspires no confidence
Unproven rookie who inspires no confidence - Hertl - Moderately old former KHL player who inspires no confidence
Sort of fast Swede who inspires no confidence - Thornton - Underpaid winger whose defense inspires no confidence
Unproven winger who keeps blowing chances in the top 6 - OT winner guy - The love of Pete's life

Sort of tough dman who fills Slocal's dreams - Erik Karlsson
Former stud dman who inspires far less confidence than he used to - Brent Burns
Unproven rookie who inspires some confidence - Micheal Haley's nonunion defensive equivalent

Stoked hockey is back, not stoked we're playing VGK today and Friday.

I'm expecting a frustrating blowout. 6-1 VKG.

The love of Pete's life will win us this game.

I'm not sure where or how, but Dylan Demelo will have his role today.

"Bah gawd! Oh mah gawd! That's Dylan DeMelo's music! Dylan DeMelo is here! He's tearing off the Senators jersey! And.... it's a Sharks jersey underneath! Bah gawd almighty! DeMelo's back and he's takin it to all the Golden Knights!"

*pyro*

 

[The Nemesis]

Sweet GDT. The Lal gif always gets a laugh out of me. It's always a good day when someone can make practical use of Star Trek gifs.

Whyyyy non-onetimer options... whyyyy

At least it's a step up from last year where Karlsson was in the one-timer slot and Burns was up top to the utter confusion of everybody.

 

[hockfan1991]

i wouldnt mind i nice schlacking early in the season.

Rather this happen now then a mirage of playing well only to find out mid season we are lacking and its to late.

If we look shitty out the gate, changes will come sooner then later.

 

[drunksage]

Regular season is SNOG season too, so read this if you're new or need a refresher! Note that the Sedin rule still applies if Melker is playing.

 

[HOOCH2173]

(OK my SNOG for real this time!)

SNOG time it's been so long. Here's hoping I'm right 90% of the time!

Sharks - 3 (they finally get angry and don't close their... well you know... Couture, Radil and Hertl)
Knights - 2 (reaves and march-ah-so!)

 

[Boy Hedican]

Those GIFs are spot on

meh, I think the goalie one is more like Jones especially if you flip it horizontally.

If?

Also to get this out of my album of GDT stuff I had to scroll past the Joe Money. And now I'm sad.

My guess is Kane says F it and plays, enters like this:

 

[The Nemesis]

My guess is Kane says F it and plays, enters like this:

As long as he doesn't blow out both his quads getting onto the ice.

He shouldn't though. He's not Havlat, and I don't think the #9 is cursed.

 

[jarr92]

Whyyyy non-onetimer options... whyyyy

As much as I'm not a fan of Spott, they commonly run a play where they switch the point shots then pass to Burns on his one timer side.

 

[LadyStanley]

(If someone can photoshop that "island" surrounded with sharks, by 1pm, I'll print it out and bring it to game tonight.)

 

[209]

5-0 Vegas
Jones pulled midway through first period
