I don't see that happening.

Smart move by the Ducks to go with a skilled 4th line vs what's likely to be a pretty bad 4th line. I'm surprised they don't do this all the time, they have the skaters for it.

I know. One can dream though. The coaching staff is stuck in their ways.

This past weekend I tweeted the WorSharks lineup was so good our 4th line was Haley/Oleksuk/Hamilton...I got a lot of people saying that was better than San Jose's usual 4th line. :laugh:

whats up with his play lately in the W? Besides it being "stellar"? Can someone elaborate?

thanks!

Can someone give a scouting report for Tarasov?

Offensively Tarasov is very good, he has great puck skills, vision, a good shot, good hockey sense, passes well and can get himself into good scoring positions.

The rest of his game, while improving is still just so so.

I remember seeing Tarasov in camp two years ago. Thus guy has extra moves that you rarely see from Sharks players. He just had an extra deke or move that most guys couldn't keep up with.

Problem was he couldn't play in the other end of the rink to save his life.

It seemed like with many Russian players, the scoring touch was legit, but he either wasn't too excited or able to play both ends of the game. Time in the AHL was supposed to give him time to learn.

I can't watch W. Sharks games like the rest of us in SJ, but that's at least what I know of the guy.

I think we signed him as a UFA, so if he made the squad, even next year, that would be a big win for DW IMO.

CanadienShark · Jan 29, 2015

I'm happy. Seen him a few times in Worcester and he's really impressed me. The few times I've seen him, he looks like he's about to get absolutely cranked, but somehow doesn't get injured, so I hope he works on not even putting himself in such a position, but maintains playing hard.

I remember during his stint with the Bulls being baffled why he wasn't in the AHL. His offensive skills were definitely there (by far the best player the Bulls ever had :laugh:

). Glad to hear from others his game's been improving in Worcester, hope he gets a chance to play at least one game during the callup. Either way it's probably kind of exciting for him, though.

I don't get the excitement. Sure he is on a bad team but he is a skill player who is nowhere close to a ppg in the ahl.

He's fun to watch, that's for sure. You never can tell how a player will translate to the NHL. I look forward to seeing him that's for sure as well.

Glad we sat him tonight and played Scott. We wouldn't have gotten the win otherwise.

If SJ puts Tarasov on the 4th line he's going to fail. He really needs to be with offensive minded players, otherwise he'll be out of his element.

Forget it, Danny, you're out of your element!

I'm totally with your sarcasm on this, and he needs to play over Scott.

But last night was the perfect Scott game, up 4 goals in the 3rd period, Scott can stay on the ice so Ducks are less likely to goon it up per usual when they are losing big.

What's more likely to happen?

1.) Scott being iced protects cheap shots from happening and thus keeps us safe?

OR

2.) Scott contributing to a dumb penalty and causing a PP to happen for the opposition leading to our men getting unnecessarily dinged up by taking/blocking shots?

To me, Scott does more harm than good in any game.

Well I saw Scott on the ice late vs good lines from the Ducks. I don't think Perry is going to start a scrum vs Scott.

It hasn't stopped him before with our prior goons. People use Scott on the ice against the Ducks to justify his presence. When healthy, he has no place in the starting lineup. Enforcers do more damage to the teams that employ them than to the opposing team - he's not even fast enough to hit the other players. I'm not a huge Brown fan, but when he's healthy and you want that "grit," he should do the job.

Alwalys · Feb 2, 2015

He actually hits a lot of players on the forecheck, even on the Hawks who are very speedy. He always finishes his checks which is something this team often lacks.

Tarasov????

Scott scores goals (barely plural) whereas Tarasov is only good for secondary assists.

Seriously, probably the best game from the 4th line this season: 2 G, 4 pts.

hockeyball · Feb 6, 2015

amazing what a scoring 4th line will do. I like Tarasov, he made some really solid plays, him and Tierney had great chemistry.

Gene Parmesan · Feb 6, 2015

Tarasov played ok.
