no matter where they finish,
no matter how bad their pick is,
there is one less year of jones/burns/karlsson/vlasic/simek/labanc/granlund/hoffman contracts,
and they can't take that away from us!

Gutsy win is right. That’s one of the worst on paper lineups I’ve ever seen and they pulled out a win, kudos

It’s an offensive void no doubt, but if you’re gonna get a good performance from Blackwood this is a solid grind-you-down lineup to compliment him.

 

[Cas]

This isn't Blackwood, it's a time-travelling Hasek in a mask.

 

[slocal]

Well then drink up!

 

[drunksage]

Awesome! Still waiting for my first pint since last year.

no matter what they take from me
they can't take away my jones/burns/karlsson/vlasic/simek/labanc/granlund/hoffman cap relief

his consistent ability (and willingness?) to swallow a puck when being under siege is something i have not seen in a sharks goalie possibly ever.

One more and they are going to have to start trading people

 

[Pavelski2112]

Imagine losing to a team with Luke Kunin as their #1C

Washington is down horrendous

 

[renodave]

Bailey looks like a great addition

 

[Solmors]

We are lucky DW isn't here anymore. After back to back wins now he'd be ready to start trading off first round draft picks for SC winning veterans in the hopes for a wild card run.

You could even say Washington is “horror-bad”

didn't we randomly try to sign tarasenko lol

 

[karltonian]

is that like, a step above a cup of coffee?

 

[NWSharkie]

I gotta say, points to Mike Grier and David Quinn for how this team is performing. It's a tank roster without a whole lot of talent, but Grier seems to have picked mostly the right guys for the room and he and Quinn seem to be on the same page about how to use them.

 

[OrrNumber4]

The winning goal is why teams in the league value size.

Took a while for Quinn to figure it out though (not a slight on him).

I think that’s more on the players. Maybe I’m off in that thinking.

 

[tiburon12]

I thought the line combos were a bit suspect at first. Maybe that was by design, maybe that was "throw shit at the wall".

The answer is probably somewhere in the middle

The line combos were trash

 

[tiburon12]

The line combos were trash

haha yea but so are the players. Maybe Quinn was resting on his math skills when designing the lineup. Eklund (+) * Grandlund (-) * Kunin (-) = overall +

 

[Jargon]

I think having so many new players on a team makes it exceedingly difficult to have any kind of chemistry early. I think they’re coming together now and you can see that what Quinn is preaching is starting to sink in.

That was a pretty gutsy win, and especially in the beginning, they were playing fast and hard and fighting for every inch, it’s the best you can hope for from this lineup.

Also, Bailey was really fun to watch,
Kid is huge and fast and has some skill. Why hasn’t he stuck on an NHL lineup?
