GDT: Game 24: Sharks @ Devils 4pm NBCSCA

[coooldude]

Most goals for all year! 6 on 18 shots is a brutal stat line... or 5 on 17. Great finishing.

I'm sure we'll be back to losing soon, although the team really is putting up fights these days, even when horrendously outshot.

 

[Tw1ster]

Doubles their road goals for the year tonight, well done

 

[Skeksis25]

Eklund deserves that EN goal. He was tremendous defensively tonight and deserved some love on the scoresheet.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That was a hell of an effort from the Sharks. Nice bounce back from the Boston game. Kahk is on a roll lately.

wrecklund's defensive and off puck play has been excellent.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Meier was hot garbage in this game. Lazy, lazy, lazy...I always thought that he was like this too frequently; the kind of player you don't want on your team.

Nemec looked exceptional offensively but had some mistakes defensively.

 

[LadyStanley]

Haha

If I remember correctly he stole the puck from Jack Hughes. I remember he also stole the puck from McDavid. He is a complete player already.

 

[Alaskanice]

Revenge attained for Zets, Oak and Blackie.

 

[Chinaski89]

Haha

I know it’s not this week technically, but still just last Friday the Canes lost to the Lightning 8-2 and only allowed 14 shots lol

 

[TheBeard]

Snog:

Sharks 6
Devils 3

 

[Cas]

Hockey just doesn't work in New Jersey.

Also, great game for the trade bait.

 

[LadyStanley]

 

[Sandisfan]

To paraphrase one of the first bits in Slap Shot.... Lose to the Sharks and you feel Shame. LOL

 

[Pavelski2112]

What the f***

 

[Cas]

Hockey doesn't work in traditional hockey markets.

 

[karltonian]

what the HELL

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

how do we have more regulation wins than the Leafs lol

 

[Alaskanice]

Hard work. Playing for each other.

Hard work. Playing for each other.

Credit where credit's due, they've looked like a far more cohesive group as of late. They're still not a great team objectively but it feels like the guys in the room are playing for each other a good deal more.

 

[Mattb124]

Eklund deserves that EN goal. He was tremendous defensively tonight and deserved some love on the scoresheet.

He is so shifty, still making some rookie mistakes but he is going to be a player. Dual threat on offense and defensively responsible.

 

[Jargon]

Rare fun offensive game by the Sharks, that was really fun to watch. They’ve been far better since Grier talked to them, it really feels like they’ve committed to Quinn’s system and relaxed a little bit. Obviously there’s a huge skill deficit between them and most teams but this, finally, is the kind of attitude and bite you want to see from a rebuilding team.



Also, the Devils are fascinating to watch. It feels like every player is a star and has insane talent but they seem entirely disconnected from each other. I love how they’re built but I think they are severely lacking physicality and yeah.. there’s some kind of team thing missing. They’ve got some insane players though… but I’m dubious of their ability to get to the ECF, at least from what I just saw.

You have to think that the chemistry will take time to build.

Is everyone in agreement that Blackwood is the MVP candidate so far? His numbers aren't the best, but from watching some games and reading comments, he's generally been much better than the stats show.
