Can we just go 5 forwards on the 2nd unit. Put Mike Brown out there, **** it I don't care.

also mike brown appears to have run out of good play for the season

Yah. He is supposed to be bringing energy. Has not been doing that for the last few games. I really don't want him on a fully healthy starts roster.

 

[do0glas]

Deboer has said multiple times that he wants 5v5 success and the pp will be fine because of the talent. But it might be time to focus on it a bit. If we are only getting 1-2 a game we need to be efficient

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Good effort. Need to hit the net though.

 

[Alwalys]

marleau also had some really bad plays. guy's starting to stand out in a bad way.

wingels again brought energy but made some infuriating mistakes. i'm not sure if he's just getting unlucky or what but he's just blowing up otherwise good plays with bonehead mistakes or just incredibly awful bounces.

 

[Hold the Pickles]

People need to stop making blind passes.

yup, or forced passes (or any bad pass) near the offensive blue line... especially on odd-man rushes.

But I was definitely happy with the effort tonight. I wasn't expecting it to be that close that late. If Rinne wasn't in as good of form or the Refs didn't miss so much it could've been much different.

 

[Episkey]

Hertl needs to be playing more. Was probably our best forward tonight. At this point he is more effective than Marleau. Maybe try him on the first unit for Patty or Ward. It wasn't a bad game, had a pretty good pace but scoring chances were few and far between and neither team put up a ton of shots, which is why it seemed more boring than it was. Some of these goals Jones has been letting in are starting to scare me...

 

[SactoShark]

Good effort. Need to hit the net though.

Yeah, that would be my summary too. I've seen a lot lesser games vs the Perds in recent times.

Yep. The bad passes were frustrating. They also need more shots on net and to fix the power play. But at least there was good effort for most of the game.

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Good effort. Need to hit the net though.

Agreed. mostly good effort against a really good team. Still trying to come together sans Cooter.

Can't we find someone to play other than Brown though?

It really wouldn't be hard. Brown's an AHL caliber player for the most part and we have better rookies like Carpenter sitting around.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Mike Brown needs to sit. Hertl needs to play more. Marleau needs to remember he isn't a rookie.

On a side note, Brent Burns is cementing his reputation as a high-maintainence defenseman.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Yeah, that would be my summary too. I've seen a lot lesser games vs the Perds in recent times.

They kept trying to pick corners when they should have just kept pounding Rinne. The Preds did a good job blocking and redirecting shots, I must admit.

 

[Alwalys]

donskoi played a good game. i found it interesting that they kept talking about how his stick is as long as burns'. he used it to good effect against some very good players.

 

[SactoShark]

Sharks destroyed a bad team, sat half a week, then hung in very well against the top team in the west. I'm feeling okay. That seems like the kind of team they should be right now.

What's pretty funny is that Shattenkirk wrote an article not too long ago on how the refs "respect" Weber and let him get away with penalties.

Sounds like corruption to me.

Must have winked at the refs.

 

[Bowie22]

Refs are probably afraid he'll crosscheck them too.

That's a thing of beauty. This is like karma in the form of a gif.

As a Barracuda STH... I wouldn't call Carpenter better at all. Yet.

Seriously! I know there's a F-yeah at the end...and it looks like a F-that just before he got up to score?!
