GDT: 151013 Sharks @ Capitals 4pm CSNCA

[BaileyMacTavish]

Damn. SNOG was off by a loong shot. Still. Nice shut out by Jones tonight.

 

[LadyStanley]

(Stalock holds the record)


Thinking Jones starts next game.

 

[Kcoyote3]

I created the jinx thread on the main boards. You can all hate me if it backfires.

 

[Alwalys]

No, maximum of one SNOG per person per game.

A conditional SNOG is a single effective one.

 

[ChubbChubby]

technically Jones let in a goal today

 

[slocal]

technically Jones let in a goal today

He let in a puck, actually

Regarding Phu's post: As I posted earlier in the GDT (http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?p=107953677#post107953677), putting in conditional guesses isn't allowed. It's essentially making two predictions and goes against the spirit of the SNOG. Editing the post before puck drop so that there's one entry would have been fine.

yeah except i wasn't around for the puck drop, nor your reply.

that was not a guess, it was a real entry based on the condition of if ovechkin played. i could not have claimed it if ovechkin played, nor the other one if that was the result tonight. so it is not two predictions. it is one prediction.

SNOG. Serious business...

You were online at 3:30, so you had time to edit your post regardless of a reply from Drunk (a user already said Ovechkin was out by then).

Lol at snog arguing.

Jones on TV postgame interview:

- team is doing a good job on both sides of ice, not a lot of time in own end except maybe third period today
- team is doing a great job in front of the net, helping him to see pucks, doing well in front of the goal on both sides of the ice
- good support in first and second period make life easier
- there's always stuff to work on in practice, they've done a good job in the D zone, they have to stick with how they're playing, keep up the forecheck because then they don't have to play as much defense

Mike Brown on radio postgame interview:

- they played solid throughout the game, they broke out, Tierney got it on the boards, Brown was thinking just drive the net and he banged it home
- long season, still a lot of games left, great to start 3-0, but they've had good starts in the past, have to stay consistent, stick to game plan, focus on things they're doing right
- they've been stressing that best defense is keeping puck in offensive zone, they've been working on getting to net, screening goalie, maybe two guys screening in puck, as long is they get the puck to the net and somebody is in front, that's what they need
- Jones made some tremendous saves, got them out of trouble, was good in last couple minutes, they just have to keep going, don't get too high or too low, good to have him back there

 

[Alwalys]

Lol at snog arguing.

hey it's a rarity, haven't had one in a couple years now.

but this is basically the same thing as the goal being called back, so karma.

 

[Dicdonya]

Great game again.

Fun stat- we have no negative +/- players so far this year lol.

Also Thornton is 4th in shots on the team and tied first in Goals, I want to give deboer a medal right now for whatever he's told Thornton to finally get him to shoot.

Ah well, his last goal wasn't really a shot.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Kind of wish Washington had gotten a goal. They got screwed on two of them and I don't feel all that great about this shut out. It was a good win but Tim Peel should retire.

 

[The Great John Scott]

"Joe, if you don't score at least 20 goals this season, I'm quitting and Doug's gonna take my place....I hope you like playing on the fourth line... "

 

[USF Shark]

Fun game to be at. Was in section 431 with some other Sharks fans. Sharks played a pretty damn good road game and Martin Jones continues to impress me. Would loved to have seen what Washington could have done against us at full strength, but I'll take the win!

SNOG follow-up

After consulting with my fellow Sharks mods, I'm sticking with the no-SNOG decision. Following points of discussion were made:

- Double-checked on whether conditional SNOGs have ever been allowed. They haven't.
- The SNOG is basically like fantasy sports. Like setting your roster before the game, you have you set your prediction and stick to it, no takebacks or conditions.
- Like in fantasy, research the status of star players or starting goalies before the game. Actually, if you're a Nostradamus, you should be able to predict the status of said players and make a prediction based on that.
- It'd be too much work to determine SNOGs if conditionals are allowed, and it'd be unnecessary work for the aforementioned reasons.

A shutout is a shutout. So who gives a ****.

I hate bad calls and refs affecting games.

Since we're discussing the nuances of SNOGs, how do you treat scoring plays that are changed postgame? What if someone had a tie but the scoring change would have put them over? (Somewhat sarcastic, somewhat serious )

Lol, not me

JOOOOOOOOOOOONNNEEEESSSSS

Got to listen to the 3rd on the way home, excited to watch the recording

 

[do0glas]

The no goal call was technically correct by the rule. Sucks but we should be praising deboer for catching it. I wouldn't have challenged that.

 

[Barrie22]

I hate bad calls and refs affecting games.

The coaches challenge no goal was not a bad call. It was as the rule states 100% goaltender interference. Hence the challenge and the goal being called a no goal.
