GDT: Game #3: Sharks at Ducks, 7pm

[Naki]

Deboer’s seat is scorching

Or he just signed a 12 year extension.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I leave for India on the 14th for little over 2 weeks. I wonder if:

- We win a game before I leave.
- We win a game before I am back.

 

[Jargon]

I'm curious how bad it has to get before DW does something. I'm sure he'd like to see what happens when you put Kane back in the lineup but I'm not sure Kane is going to be able to re-teach our entire team how to pass.

 

[Jwec]

Like I get it. It is acceptable to lose 3 straight to start the season. But not like this. We have been outcoached, outplayed, out everything. And huge part of that is coaching staff.

 

[Coily]

474 × 202

 

[Jargon]

Are there any good coaches available?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

This might be the worst Sharks team of the salary cap era

They have top-6 players doing absolutely nothing. That's why they're 0-3.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Everything is difficult for us. Everything. Unbelievable. Outcoached by Dallas Friggin Eakins.

Getting outcoached is unfair. We have to stop pretending that PDB is actually coaching.

Karlsson did two things in the last 30 seconds that drove me up the wall.

He slow skated towards the dumped in puck (the ducks were pk'ing) to retrieve it. And then he fired the puck into his own net after the final horn.

Look, I know it's unrealistic that they could come back, but put some effort in. Teams have scored 2 goals in the final 30 seconds before. Hell, even 1 goal could help them swing momentum and carry something into the next game.

And maybe it's just a hockey thing but I find it so disrespectful to shoot a puck into a net after a whistle, much less your own net.

 

[SjMilhouse]

This is the first time I've actually thought PDB could realistically get canned. How many in a row would it take?

 

[hohosaregood]

I wonder what kind of odds I can get on pdb first coach fired

0%. Wilson's never done a midseason replacement and I doubt he suddenly changes his stripes.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That poor excuse for a two man advantage should get this coaching staff fired tomorrow. I don't care if it's game f***ing 3 of an 82 game season. There is absolutely no excuse for that effort tonight. NONE. This game was basically more of the same shit from last year. Oh, and when you get Anaheim to play like Vegas, you have a problem, especially with this talent.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Mike Yeo.

He slow skated towards the would be iced puck (the ducks were pk'ing) to retrieve it. And then he fired the puck into his own net after the final horn.

I don't think doing that is disrespectful. Its just frustration. And I prefer seeing that over nothing.

 

[McDeez]

Why do other teams make it look effortless taking the puck into the zone and setting up shop. Sharks look lost every time they move it up the ice. I didn't even realize you could call it offsides when there are 5 guys waiting at the blueline. LOL. Wow.

All of this and all of what you're talking about is frustration.

Well, Kane will return next game so that's one top six player back that should help. They're already up against the cap because of injuries. They need to move Dillon for some forward help.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Dell was so bad on that 1st goal. So many dumb mistakes in these first 3 games.

 

[Alaskanice]

They have top-6 players doing absolutely nothing. That's why they're 0-3.

This can’t stressed enough. It’s not systems. It’s not the coaching. Our leaders are still on vacation.

 

[JeremyTB]

Did Hertl forget how to play Hockey over the Summer? There was a play in the 3rd where nobody even touched him and he fell, and he was standing still at the time.

At least they'll have 1 guy who will get mad in games like this. Everyone else looked like a bunch of ass-up Jerry Smith's.

Please stop with this. Nobody here is saying the players are off the hook. But if you are actually going to pretend that the system is fine and not a problem, I have a bridge to sell to you.

Perhaps, but it also shows a lack of leadership. The main reason the Sharks are 0-3 is because of their star players being "frustrated", and playing terrible instead of just pulling up their bootstraps and putting in a solid effort and trying to grind it out. These guys need to work.

 

[slocal]

This team has no balls.

Marbles, dude.

Marbles.

 

[Alwalys]

Save us Kane.

 

[themelkman]

I dont mean to be the 2015 version of myself, but we are f***ed.

Fire TMAC and fire DW
