GDT: Game 79: Vegas Golden Knights @ San Jose Sharks | 6:00PM | One of us has to stop Sharking the bed,

[Boris Zubov]

This is the 2nd game this year where Kane has taken liberties with our guys & nobody has made him pay for it. Shit like that creeps into your mind when the playoffs start. I'm not advocating taking cheap shots or getting into fights for no reason, but since the refs aren't going to call them on their BS, we need our tougher players to stand up for their teammates.

 

[CupInSIX]

Not talking about gooning. Those guys had no problem running us tonight. But when we hit them, the Sharks players were quick to stand up for each other. 3 guys went after Wild Will on separate occasions when he landed clean hits. Not one guy on our team went after Kane when he boarded Theodore.

Instead of yapping out there, Reaves needs to get Kane into a situation to drop the gloves.

The difference is the Sharks were trailing most of those times, when Kane hit Theodore it was a tie game late in the 3rd IIRC.

They already gave Reaves 10 minutes for jersey tugging. Imagine what he'd get for trying to fight a smaller Kane.

I don't care about the score, this game was basically meaningless. There are times to send a message back. This was one of those times.

Everyone is hoping Gusev comes over for the playoffs, but what about Glass?

First priority is getting 100%, then joining the Wolves and helping them finish out their regular season, but if he looks really good in the AHL should he stay there if he can help Vegas in the playoffs?

I would put zero hope in a 20 years old rookie to come into playoff hockey and make an impact.

Why not? Kreider and Macavoy did.

Any DPOS hearings for Kane and Thornton?

Thornton could kill a guy on ice and DOPS wouldn't care. He has done a lot of dirty stuff and only ever gotten one suspension for it.

Kreider and McAvoy at least played against men in college. NCAA is a far different game than the CHL. On top of that, exceptions, not the rule.

While I'm not outright disagreeing with you, there's something to be said for using Glass' playmaking ability on the power play.

If Haula were real close and Pirri continued his production it's not something I'd consider.

Given Glass' thin frame I'd really like him to get experience playing against big boys before we throw him into the playoff fire.

ESPECIALLY against the cheap shot sharks.

 

[The Duck Knight]

It would take a lot more injuries than we currently have to get Gusev or Glass into a game at this point.

I dont think even injuries will get either on the ice.

That didn't look like 2500 dollars worth of illegal contact. This league is a joke.

Hey, guys i just saw Subban today up in person. I even took a picture. Here it is:

This is inaccurate. There is no way he stopped that much trash from going in.

His new name is Malcolm Trashcan.

 

[Vegas07]

His biggest job right now is to prevent Fleury from getting injured. So far so good.

And as we can all see it’s a very important job.

Unless he backed over Fleury coming out of the car park

48 Minutes into the Flames/Sharks game, Sharks have 12 shots.

College hockey doesn't really prepare these guys well. Those two examples were just older guys who stuck around NCAA a long time. If they had gone CHL they would have had a year or two of AHL experience and been even further ahead. These aged out free agents are mostly 21 or 22 which makes them much more likely to be able to come in and contribute but don't mistaken them for real difference makers. They are more like decent third line or third pairing options for teams that are depth challenged

What?

McAvoy played his 20 year old season in the NHL. That would have been his first year of eligibility for the AHL.

Kreider played his 21 year old season in the NHL/AHL split. At worst he missed out on 1 AHL year.

The NCAA isn't a bad thing.
