Watching Vegas is so weird. It always seems like they have a forward behind the play or at least moving against the grain which leads to these oddman breaks that shouldn't exist because there shouldn't be a skater there
There is no former Shark that I wish more failure upon than Ryan Carpenter.
Why? We waived him. Not his choice lol.
You should be more mad that we had dmen that struggled against him.Because he plays for ****ing Vegas.

Yeah, just for the record, I am extremely furious with the performance of almost every single Shark against Vegas. The only ones I’ll give a pass to are Couture, Hertl, Sorensen, Boedker, Donskoi, and Ryan. Dillon was mostly fine as well.
Out of 20 players, assuming Dell as well, that's 8/20 Sharks you give a pass to. That's a far cry from "every single Shark".
If we had a franchise superstar like Marchessauly, we would've had a cup by now but we only had gutless leaders
Put the drink down.Not a bad comparison, actually. Joe Thornton is primarily a playmaker. Jonathan Marchessault is primarily a playmaker.
2006-2009! Joe Thornton is unquestionably a more prolific offensive player than Marchessault. They are both best known for the same thing, and Thornton is *far* superior at it.
Yet after that one thing, Marchessault looks much better. Both are uninspiring defensively. Thornton is stronger and better on the boards. Marchessault is a better skater, a faster skater, a better goal-scorer, and a much better stick-handler. Eliminate Thornton's playmaking, and you had a fourth liner. Eliminate Marchessault's playmaking, and you still have top-6 forward.

You can't turn the puck over in the neutral zone against Vegas, especially against the Karlsson - Reilly - Marchessault line. That was surgical by all 3 of them on that 3-1 goal and it killed all the momentum Winnipeg had.
The pass by Karlsson made the play. Once Reilly handled it it became a 2-1 where Morrissey decided he'd take himself out of the play with that dumb slide.That line is just straight up surgical. I had PTSD flashbacks on that Marchessault goal.
