That's below even Eklund levels of reliability.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Nurse finally playing like the Dman he was drafted to be.....good time to trade his ass.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Oilers get wrecked, Nurse is easily the best piece. Chiarelli would probably love it.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Come on Kings, get the 2 points!

 

[Avs44]

Rather pathetic shootout attempts from Kovalchuk and Brown

Yes they were, oh and Mr Quick put up 40 saves to get them to that point.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Well at least my boys in Tampa did their jobs. Nice kill late as well. I think that puts us back up into 3rd. Which is f***ing nutty lol.

Pretty good night overall. Wings win and hand the Ducks their 12th straight L. Tampa beats Dallas in regulation. Downside in LA losing to the Wild but at least they got a point on Ottawa and prevented the Wild from getting another ROW. Blues at least got a point too to get them a bit further from the Sens as well.

Beating the Sens in regulation tomorrow would be huge.

That game tomorrow was/is my biggest worry for this week. A win could be huge, and a loss could be f***ing devastating both draft wise and for this teams mental state. You know Ottawa is going to come out with one of their best games too.

Devastating would be an understatement after experiencing the low of getting shut out by the Habs followed by the high of dominating the Leafs in Toronto only to drop the game against the worst team in the league in the Sens. Absolutely huge game tomorrow. Also, not to be greedy but a W from Philly and the Yotes wouldn't be bad either .

Hopefully Ottawa opens it up. I think they've been playing a tighter style lately since losing Chabot. I'm hoping they don't use the MTL/NYI game plan against us lol.

Sharks are so good.

 

[Foppberg]

Sharks are so good.

If Tampa doesn't finally figure their shit out, I feel like this could finally be the Sharks year.

I just love the way they play.

It’s such a heavy, possession dominant style with high end skill and crazy puck movement. They play the closest to a soccer team with their backwards and sideways passes. The heavy game with every line so good on the cycle down low just wears you down.

Watching tonight’s game closely and the Pens just have no answer for SJ’s style.

Sharks started out slow but honestly look like the best team in the West.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Hertl makes it 4-1.

Just look at that goal. Faceoff win, three passes(!) along the blueline for the shuffle and then a heavy body in front to score.

Sorensen - Thornton - Pavelski
Radil - Couture - Meier
Kane - Hertl - Donskoi

Big and deep.

Beginning to wonder if Anaheim will ever win again lol.

Yep. I've always had a soft spot for the Sharks, they're 100% my bandwagon team. LOVE Hertl. Meier is a stud too.

And then you have Burns + EK on the backend? Good Lord. He's been looking like Norris Karlsson lately too.

Hopefully just enough to finish one point ahead of Ottawa. Not more, though.

Blues are getting too close to a playoff spot for comfort. From now on I don't want them to win anymore.

 

[dahrougem2]

Crazy to think that the third most important defensemen on San Jose after Karlsson and Burns is Brendan Dillon, and not Vlasic or Braun.

Yeah I’ve heard some not so good things about Pickles this year.

According to pretty much everyone who watch a lot of Sharks games Vlasic fell off a cliff this year. I didn't see that one coming...went from a guy who was very rarely making mistakes to pretty bad.

True. I guess the loser point was the ideal scenario after all! Yay Blues! Haha

Just like you implied in your previous post though, tomorrow's game won't be easy and I hope the boys aren't overlooking it. Resting on the laurels of beating the Leafs at home would be a mistake. Hoping we come out hungry.
