“a lot of positives to take out of this last game of the road trip”

lol, the biggest positive is that there is really no doubt who the worst team in the league is

The only positive is more than half the season is over.

 

[Hangemhigh]

Couldn't even tank it right.
Glad Sabourin is here for the tank.

Clarity is a positive.

Congrats Shark fans - you managed to stick us with the extra point. I thought you guys actually outplayed us for most of the game but both goalies played well ... or maybe neither team has goal scoring ability ... or both - yeah probably both.

If the Sharks outplayed anyone it was entirely by accident, I assure you.

 

[Jargon]

Just watched the game. It cracked me up, it was a real battle of which team is the worst at scoring goals. We won!

 

[sharski]

Wonder if Macklin stayed up to watch one of his potential future employers play...

I can't believe I sat through this entire game.

Celebrini burner account confirmed

Darren Pang is weirdly obsessed with the fact that Zadina used to be a Red Wing.

That is pretty much the sum total of what announcers are ever able to tell us about any specific player.

"Filip Zadina, the former Detroit Red Wing, with zero individual personality traits, hobbies, interests, anecdotes, or other interesting facts."

 

[The Nemesis]

Tomorrow: Macklin Celebrini announces his retirement from hockey to pursue his real dream of being a hollywood stuntman specializing in fire-based stuntwork. Claims it would be less dangerous and emotionally harrowing than playing for San Jose or Chicago.

For a guy who spent his entire NHL career in Chicago and much of his broadcasting career with St. Louis, he has a weird infatuation with the Red Wings.

Also I am absolutely flabbergasted by the existence of this team photo headshot of him where he has a full enough head of hair to be sporting a mullet.

To be honest, I never actually saw any of the game as ESPN+ ******* again. But Randy does it all the time, too.

That shootout was Pee-Wee level bad

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Gotta respect Quinn, team is starving for offense and he healthy scratches some of his best offensive players.

 

[dmcccdmn]

IMHO, both teams lost tonight. Hawks more so than Sharkies. In a season like this, these points are so meaningless.

 

[Hodge]

Hope this point doesn't come back to haunt us.

 

[Shark Finn]

So, out of the following scenarios from best to worst, in terms of points..

SJ 0 CHI 2
SJ 1 CHI 2
SJ 2 CHI 1
SJ 2 CHI 0

..we got the second best scenario.. Second.. #2.. Just like our draft pick will be.. Secondary.. Will Smith's number will be.. His assists will be.. Goals will be.. Secondary.. This is the San Jose Secondaries!

 

[tiburon12]

Hope this point doesn't come back to haunt us.

But if it does, how will we differentiate this point from the others?

You'll know..

 

[karltonian]

WHEW ... almost thought we were going to beat that dumpster fire of a team!

 

[karltonian]

they need to do something about the OT format. It was great until teams realized the optimal play was to exit the zone and swoop back to the other blueline to reset and regroup. So much time is wasted on these circle-back-setups that it sucks all the fun and chaos that 3v3/4v4 was supposed to create.

I think 4v4 would solve this, you can get a real forecheck going. the problem with 4v4 was always that it was too short.

10 minutes of 4v4 or 3v3, end with ties. Done

The most popular sport in the entire world ends with ties, we can deal

They both deserve it. Addison's been making mistake after mistake, and Duclair...it feels like he hasn't realized that he needs to reinvent himself to stay in the league.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

You know Macklin was watching that game last night just thinking in his head:

"Oh ffs you've gotta be kidding me..."

Ties are stupid
