[Sandisfan]

Tank Mode reengaged.

 

[Tw1ster]

Mason!!

 

[The Nemesis]

D scores all the goals

Hertl can't put it into an empty net.

Seems about right.

 

[The Nemesis]

Zetterlund always looks like a tomato. Like at any given moment he's just been doing that VO2Max test on the exercise bike and just a tiny push more is going to make him spew everywhere.

 

[The Nemesis]

like 6th time's the charm for Hertl.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Sharks played a pretty exciting game tonight. Good win.

Welcome back Couture and Sturm.

 

[Sandisfan]

Tank mode needs repair.

 

[TheBeard]

Hertl was a beast those last two minutes. He deserved that.

 

[karltonian]

good for tommy there, he worked hard for that

if you're gonna win, win in front of the home fans on the weekend i guess

 

[TheBeard]

Ruuta with the GwG…. Like we all predicted.

 

[coooldude]

Bummer. Nice to get a win as a fan, but of all the teams to beat in regulation...

Ruuta with the GwG…. Like we all predicted.

I thought Hertl tipped that.

Good game by the boys. Good show by both bay teams tonight.

 

[dmcccdmn]

1st thought: Why??????!
2nd thought: Of course. Nothing about this team surprises me anymore
3rd thought: I blame this win on the GM for not trading Hertl early just like I blame last year's poor tank job on the GM for not trading their prized defenseman only to get meager returns for waiting it out. We'll likely get poor returns for Hertl at end of season, again.

 

[one2gamble]

They aren't going to lose them all

 

[DG93]

They aren't going to lose them all

This, and I'm not too worried about them passing Anaheim to be honest...Chicago is the main competition

Why? Why does Anaheim still friggin suck so much with so mich talent?

 

[Alaskanice]

The physicality tonight was superb. Not in the hitting but in the board work, net front and puck retrieval. I think getting Logan and Nico back helped in that respect. Great win!!

 

[Desert Eagle]

Why? Why does Anaheim still friggin suck so much with so mich talent?

Because of injuries: Mintyukov, Zegras, Killorn, Luneau, Jones.
Throughout the season, some players are just recovering from injuries, while others are injured

 

[timorous me]

Did they show Irbe? I had the game on mute for a second so didn't really hear the conversation. Not only was it Nolan that made me a fan of the team, but Irbe was so bad ass for a young 12 year old. I feel like he's become the forgotten Sharks goalie with Nabby being the best goalie the Sharks have ever had.

I've got Irbe on my Christmas tree! (Yes, it's still up, lol, but when you live in a place where the wind chill is around ZERO right now and there's snow on the ground, I think a little Christmas sparkle in January is just fine.)

Speaking of the ornament, I found it on Etsy this past fall and there's still one left (and a Sandis Ozolinsh!): San Jose Sharks Arturs Irbe Sandis Ozolinsh Niklas Sundstrom Hockey Sports Christmas Ornament - Etsy

[Shark Finn]

Why? Why does Anaheim still friggin suck so much with so mich talent?

Because in a world where the Sharks have finished their rebuild, the Ducks just have to be that much better.

 

[Barrie22]

Why? Why does Anaheim still friggin suck so much with so mich talent?

Because there best player is more of a secondary player and not someone you build around. Granted that best player might change soon, once they stop playing the rookie once every 3 games.

"keep this going?" take the C away and trade him please. He is ruining the tank!
