Oh definitely not, cause I have tickets to that game and am very nervous. The Jackets put up football scores
They used to be a team I'd get tickets to on my plan cause I thought we'd have a chance of winning

No kidding. I did that for the "welcome back white out" a few years ago.
Somebody keep an eye out for those who sit in seats that don't belong to them though!

So if the third lines get out there at the same time what's the odds on Doan putting Dustin Brown on his ass again??

I'm watching the Kings play San Jose and wow, what a heavy game. Sharks have such talent. They are outplaying LA. With all the monkey crap thrown at the Coyotes, it's clear to me that we did a better job limiting scoring chances than LA is doing.
Now LA is just getting embarrassed. Our one point looks even better to me watching SJ just dismantle the Kings.

We did not do that great, we just had a hot goaltender. Having said that the Kings losing is always great.

Watched the third period of that game. Sharks did quite a bit of dump and chase in the 3rd, up by 2 goals. A few were line changes (which I excluded), but they had about 5 out of 10 zone entries as a dump and chase. Considering that the Sharks had 9 total dump and chases in our game (per XX), and then went to 5 dump and chases in one period, I am wondering if there is any bias on my part for what is to be considered a dump and chase.
Also makes me wonder if our defensive set up lends itself to the opposition skating the puck in more vs dump and chase. Also, the Kings appeared to dump and chase quite a bit as well, even when down by 2 goals. I know people get frustrated with dump and chase, but it's not something that is being removed from the game entirely. I would be interested in seeing the correlation between playoff/Stanley Cup success and how often dump and chase is used. Some teams do so quite well and some don't.
Did you notice any of that Bonsai?

I'm sure that other teams have scouted our systems and have found that we are vulnerable to a possession game in our own zone. I still think that we don't display enough system flexibility to avoid being too predictable in both zones - the same way that teams know that they can aggressively hound our forwards at the perimeter of the offensive zone because we rarely penetrate into the open ice or slot, they probably also know that puck-carriers leave us flat-footed more often than not.

Incorrect. If you watched both games the difference is clear. We were more positionally sound in general, with the exception that killed us when DeAngelo missed his assignment on the Tierney goal.

I observed same as well as the Sharks dumping and chasing with some regularity early in the game.
As for our D being susceptible? We did a pretty good job several times of standing the Oilers up at the blueline, so I think it's more a case of how much respect we give the opponent. Respect is a two way street. This is why dump and chase is used to back off the opposition's defense and open up gaps.

Indeed. I was near enough to Dallas back when they won the Cup and was able to get to a lot of games, as I considered them my home team via proximity. Folks always complained that that team was boring.... well I can tell you that winning is anything but boring and is actually quite fun!

Lookie at who's back.....
Lookie who's not: DeAngelo. If he gets more than 1 game off to recharge his batteries I will be very confused (more confused than my baseline state of confusion, anyway.)

Welcome to Life, 2.0
There is a reason that SJ was in the cup finals last year. I thought in the one game where we beat them 3-2 earlier in the season, Sharks played absolutely AWFUL.
Kings have actually gotten good goaltending out of Budaj, which I was not anticipating (2.09 GAA). I sense there will be some regression to the mean there.

It's great that this isn't an 8pm start. It sucks that I still can't watch it. Hopefully chychrun knocks brown into the stratosphere.

Zero, Doan doesn't do **** anymore.
