[Mr Fahrenheit]

Let's see you do the same getting interviewed in Finnish.

K, i'll learn the language then you can come interview me. Sounds riveting

 

[Barrie22]

The two goals vs. NYI aside, they've been pretty bad in the last 3 games together.

Havlat does not work with Sheppard and Wingels.

Havlat doesn't fit with any one on this team. It can't be just a coincidence that every line he has been on has gotten worse once he has been added to it.

 

[Negatively Positive]

It's weird how there are more SH goals scored for and against the Sharks than PP goals lately.

Not sure if srs

He was way above average in today's game. Sharks could have easily been laughed off the ice today if it weren't for Niemi

 

[hockeyball]

Niemi comes up big right when we need him. Team was tired, could have been a great opportunity to start a losing streak, Niemi bails them out.

I have a feeling the Sharks are making sure Torres is healthy for the Anaheim game. They know they need to win that game, they got burned in almost the exact same situation against LA and they need to win the Pacific.

Nemo was awesome to start the season...

 

[Juxtaposer]

Not sure if srs

It's Bizz. Of course he's serious.

 

[Negatively Positive]

This was the Sharks' last regular season game east of the Mississippi. They travel no further than Colorado for the rest of the RS.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Havlat doesn't fit with any one on this team. It can't be just a coincidence that every line he has been on has gotten worse once he has been added to it.

Are people seriously ignoring the last few games? Havlat-Sheppard-Wingels has been a damn good 3rd line.

 

[sharkbite3]

It's Bizz. Of course he's serious.

So he thinks Niemi was average...

March 8, 27-save shutout vs. MTL
October 26, 22-save shutout vs. MTL
October 21, 24-save shutout vs. DET

+

13 one-goal efforts
&
12 two-goal efforts


Yes, today was his first above-average effort.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Lol this

It's like everybody got amnesia here

 

[Teamplaya]

It's those EXPLOSIVE REFLEXES again!

 

[sharkbite3]

On Niemi, he is also 3rd in the league in minutes played (3,169), 5th in shutouts (4), 8th in goals against (123), oh yeah and FIRST in wins (34).

So haters, **** off.

Sharks HF post-ers are lousy at SNOGing BUT

No SNOG. Empty netter would've resulted in one, actually.

[USF Shark]

Havlat and Nemo both playing great...that's great news for this team.

 

[Bizz]

On Niemi, he is also 3rd in the league in minutes played (3,169), 5th in shutouts (4), 8th in goals against (123), oh yeah and FIRST in wins (34).

So haters, **** off.

The Sharks could have Dan Cloutier in net and he'd have 34 wins.

 

[USF Shark]

The Sharks could have Dan Cloutier in net and he'd have 34 wins.

Yeah, no. Not a chance.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

The Sharks could have Dan Cloutier in net and he'd have 34 wins.

Can somebody please bring up the percentages of playoff teams that Niemi has played against, and the percentage of playoff teams that Stalock has played against

Seriously, I am a fan of Stalock, I think he's a future number one, but for now, Rico is still better.

 

[sharkbite3]

The Sharks could have Dan Cloutier in net and he'd have 34 wins.

Okay.

 

[Bizz]

Don't get me wrong, Nemo is what he is paid to be at $4MM, but he is far, FAR from being an elite NHL goaltender. Just because he has one good game every once in a while doesn't make him any better than the next guy.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I've been critical of Niemi too, but when he puts on a game like he did today, especially at MSG, he gets a free pass. What he did today is kinda like what Curry did to the Knicks last year.

Yes, today was his first above-average effort.

That's more than a good game every once in a while. He's not elite at this point, but he's better than the average goalie.

 

[Bizz]

No he isn't, his numbers are more of a product of having Defensemen like Vlasic and Braun in front of him to shut down opposing forwards.
