GDT: 2023-24 Other Games Around The League

[timorous me]

Look at Toronto. Playing well defensively, changing up offensive tactics, and trying to stretch the ice.

And Reeves not in there to make bad turnovers that lead to goals or take bad penalties that lead to PP goals.

Come on, if you're Matthews you have to play. But I would go to Coach and tell him to put him on the 3rd or 4th line though. Reduce ice time.

Having him on the power play would probably be the real benefit. I doubt you're going to get more than a couple opportunities in Boston in a Game 7, so if Matthews could help you get one there, and then you keep playing the way you have been 5-on-5, that could be the recipe for a 2/3-1 win.

Yup, main benefit is the powerplay. But also having him not on the first line and on other lines forces Boston to gameplan for Matthews and it could open up Nylander a little more on the second line. If Boston only has to gameplan for Nylander in Game 7, it'll be easier for them.

Eastern conference round 2 scheduled start announced

 

[StrawHatEklund]

Yeah, I think the takes here make sense. If he can play at all, bottom 6 minutes and PP.

All we Sharks fans have are dreams and wishes. If we all went by reality we would all be in a mental hospital.

Just being Sharks fan means we should be in a mental hospital!

I don’t think anyone is stopping the panthers and playoff Brobovsky for the cup this year

If Bob stays in God mode they are the team to beat!

 

[NWSharkie]

If you're Mathews I don't know how you play game 7. If you lose the fans are going to be livid.

Yeah, but he's boned either way. They win without him, it's "what do we need this guy for?" They win with him, "it's about time he showed up." They lose either way, it's his fault. Tronna, man. Not even once.

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

guess the honey moons over for Vegas fans and Hill

This is why I think Matthews should come home to us.

No, not to the Coyotes, but to San Ramon, Auston, your place of birth. San Ramon/Dublin the fastest growing city in California!! Come play for your family's hometown team.

Come home, Auston!!! Become a Shark!!

That would become the Sportsworld biggest story!! I would be running to the top of the closest mountain to scream my joy.

 

[Cas]

Let's just hope it doesn't turn out like Griffey going home to Cincinnati.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Nyquist looks really good. I thought he had regressed severely these past few years, but honestly, he looks better than he did with the Sharks!

But can he afford to live there?

 

[OrrNumber4]

What's the deal with Pettersson? He looks worse than he did as a rookie. It looks like his RS numbers have taken a bit of a hit.

 

[sharski]

just when i thought we were going to get our annual quadruple OT game

*sigh*

 

[drunksage]

I blame the TNT studio host for jinxing the occurrence of overtime.

 

[OrrNumber4]

It would only be fair for Nashville to score here and eventually win the game. The series is begging to be ended in game 7 triple-OT.

 

[sharski]

i definitely thought nyquithst would bury that

 

[OrrNumber4]

Open-net miss from Nyquist...

i definitely thought nyquithst would bury that

Ny-missed.

I have a feeling that this grinding Vancouver team could grind Edmonton to dust...

 

[Juxtaposer]

This has been an exceptionally boring first round. Usually the best round of the playoffs but just about nothing interesting happened.

He'll also fit in with the Sharks culture of perpetual playoff disappointment.

Toronto realizing Mathews is the actual problem is interesting

 

[TealManV]

Silovs was really impressive. Latvian goalies make my heart happy.

why they always gotta show that "most playoff games without winning a stanley cup" graphic
