GDT: 10/4/19 Home Opener NBCSCA 7:30pm Sharks vs Vegas EK65 will play

[Internazionale]

Didn't we see that last year then he had an incredible point streak?

He wasn't 100% healthy any point last year I believe. He also struggled mightily out of the gate. This year I think he will redeem himself and get off to a great start. Hope he can stay healthy throughout the season as well. Points will be aplenty.

I'd need to see some metrics to back this assertion.

Prout's Grit/60 is off the charts, so the analytics are misleading

Big expectations for Melker, I like the confidence

Hah. Should probably edit that.

Move over Demers, we have a new Daddy on this team.

Go Sharks!!!!!

Remember when all of these guys were terribad? Whose soul did Vegas sacrifice to make ****ty players good?

Haha. It's MAF who bails them out. If they had a true expansion-draft caliber goalie (Think Sharks when they first entered the league), they'd be hot garbage.

Here's the thing, Fleury was trash before he left PIT too.

I get that, but how many expansion teams end up with a guy, goalie no less, who was the #1 overall pick from the best generational draft of the modern era? Point being, if anyone could turn it around, it's a guy like MAF.

Fair enough, it's just bizarre to me.

Was he really trash though? He played well in the reg season and his final postseason games weren't bad. He had a few playoffs where he underperformed but was always decent in the reg season. The pens would have kept him if he made the same a murray

He had fine regular seasons, but I remember how bad he was after the '09 Cup until Murray took over. To be fair, his defenses at that time were hot garbage, but he was giving up awful goals at the wrong times and just wasn't consistent.

Hell, the best postseason they had until the next Cup was with Vokoun in net.

Yes. And two postseasons between Vokoun in net and those cups were where Sidney Crosby and Egveni Malkin both underperformed mightily. Fleury were very good during those two playoffs and also 2017. Without Fleury there would be no 2017 Cup for Pens.

He was pretty mediocre from 2010-2016. Its impressive how he's revived his career.

 

[LA Shark]

3-2 Sharks
EK65, Labanc, Couture

[JeremyTB]

5-4 Sharks. Sharks get a 5 minute PP late in the 3rd when Gambrell trips himself and hits his head on the boards busting himself open. Sharks score 4 goals.

This isn’t really an accurate description of those players.

Hague was drafted by Vegas in 2017, about 15 spots above Mario Ferraro. He will be making his NHL debut tonight.

Engelland was always horrible, but he is one of the worst players in the NHL right now.
Theodore was a promising prospect who had shown well in limited NHL time. He’s definitely turned into an excellent defenseman.

Holden, McNabb, and Merrill are the same brand of mediocre that they always have been.

That defense is not good, and it will get exposed for as long as Schmidt is out.
