GDT: Canadian West Side Story, eh? 5pm

[TomasHertlsRooster]

That was a pretty extraordinary gut check game for the Sharks there. Losing Simek like that and having to play 5 d-men most of the game against a very good team like the Jets on the back end of a back-to-back. So naturally, they will lose on Thursday to Florida. lol

The 4th Winnipeg goal was another thing that could've been a real back-breaker but it wasn't.

LOL Thursday against Florida definitely has trap game written all over it.

 

[Suddenly Zyuzin]

For how much I see Devils and Sharks fans shitting on DeBoer, he seems to produce pretty good results whenever his team has some talent.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

How doesn't Burns get the 2nd assist on Sorensen's goal? It's currently listed as LaBanc. Pretty sure that should be Burns, though.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

They gave Goose the #1 star I think. Vlasic the third star.

Have the Sharks even beaten Florida since Boughner became their coach? Boogie needs to stop being a jerk and help us out.

Labanc tipped the shot by Burns. That's why.

They won in Florida last season but that's it out of their three games against each other.

 

[Negatively Positive]

I don't know if he can do it consistently anymore but it's nice to see that vintage Vlasic is still in there somewhere.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

LOL Thursday against Florida definitely has trap game written all over it.

5th in 8 nights with quite a bit of travel. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Great to see Nyquist getting some points too. Vlasic rounding back to form at the right time too. Man, we can be a special team this playoffs if we can get EK65 at 80% or higher.

 

[Saskatoon]

Impressive win but RIP Simek

[Negatively Positive]

5th in 8 nights with quite a bit of travel. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm expecting them to play bad but maybe they can still pull it out like they did against Detroit.

 

[Bleedred]

For how much I see Devils and Sharks fans ****ting on DeBoer, he seems to produce pretty good results whenever his team has some talent.

What coach doesn't get pretty good results with good talent? Even Randy Carlyle, Bob Hartley and Dan Bylsma have even won cups as head coaches in the NHL.

 

[Bleedred]

What a buzzer beater for the win!

Devils AHL team currently up 4-3 on the Devils, but I wish I could say I had faith they'd pull this off.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

For how much I see Devils and Sharks fans ****ting on DeBoer, he seems to produce pretty good results whenever his team has some talent.

DeBoer gets a ton of credit from me for the system change on December 2, 2018. But imagine this team with Barry Trotz behind the bench.

 

[ChubbChubby]

Burns for sure is still coming off some illness. He looks completely out of it during this interview.

 

[exchequer]

I am still pretty upset about Simek. Really like the guy and he has played so hard this year. Terrible to go down like that.

Yeah, that's pretty deflating. He's been a solid player this season.

Hopefully Joakim Ryan can shake off the rust easily. The depth on this team is unprecedented. It's amazing how they're down a top 6 forward and a top 2 d-man and the brand of hockey doesn't change much at all.

 

[ChubbChubby]

Brodie nailed that Rusanowsky impression

 

[Bleedred]

Game over.

But hey! The Sharks get two points!

 

[boredatwork]

The only team that legit worries me in the playoffs is Vegas. The depth we have is unrivalled in the west

I agree with this. We'll have to see how the Sharks look against Vegas with Stone. I'm not sure that is enough for Vegas. These past few games this team is back-checking like crazy and really playing up-tempo and physical in all zones. A healthy Kane and Thornton might be enough.

Calgary does not have the depth to compete with the Sharks. Their blue-line is an injury away from falling apart and Kane, Hertl, and Meier are going to punish Giordano every chance they get. Hell, they are going to punish any team over a 7 game series.

Winnipeg reminds me of past Sharks teams. To me, they are a top heavy contender bolstered by a top power play. Even with Big Buff and Morrissey, this Sharks team destroys them 5 on 5. Is Nashville better? I am honestly not sure.

This team also matches up incredibly well with Tampa...the Sharks should be able to handle Boston and Toronto. If the goal-tending holds up, DW

 

[Gilligans Island]

Vlasic is #1 star again, he has to be. What a defensive play.

That's the Vlasic of old. Great anticipation on the cross ice pass started that sequence.

 

[SnarkAttack]

Good for Vlasic. I really like him, and it's gotta feel nice to string a couple of these games together.
