[HAMMY5]

Love that picture of Kevin lets GO NUCKS!

What I've Learned About The SJS from the SCP board:

Vlasic is the best shutdown defenseman ever
Burns is more dynamic than Kesler
Galiardi is a legit 2nd liner and how dare you suggest otherwise
Despite playing their #1 DMan as a forward, their D is still strong
MacLellan will get to line match no matter what and what is this home ice advantage

 

[luongo321]

Roy is going to work these guys.

Sedins are going to dominate Niemi.

Stanchion and Bieksa part 2.

Don't forget that every single player on their roster is fast except Hannan.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I like our chances. I also like the Alberts-Corrado pairing they are gonna be physical.

You missed the "Tommy Wingels is the best depth player in the league" one too.

I would take Kesler over Burns anyday.

 

[Nuckles]

I hope Marleau and Pavelski get as many points as they did last year in the playoffs. Zero. Zero points in five games (for both of them).

They activated Hitchcock's trap card

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I would take Kesler over Burns anyday.

 

[Addison Rae]

I'm not gonna get into the Sharks fans debate, let them think what they want. Even if we beat them they'll still talk trash about this team a la 2011

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Apparently Niemi thinks we were lucky to beat them in 2011. Ya right prob mad Henrik made him look like crap.

 

[Scurr]

Apparently Niemi thinks we were lucky to beat them in 2011. Ya right prob mad Henrik made him look like crap.

We were pretty lucky to beat them in 5, a lot of things went our way in that series. Niemi is pretty scary when he gets rolling, we need Schneider to outplay whoever we go against for us to win.

Lol yep, 40 point Burns is more dynamic than 40 goal Kesler

 

[thepuckmonster]

Apparently Niemi thinks we were lucky to beat them in 2011. Ya right prob mad Henrik made him look like crap.

Niemi has to say that because when you let in 20 goals in 5 games, you are flat out embarrassing.

 

[Jack Tripper]

yup, still there

 

[Addison Rae]

Apparently Niemi thinks we were lucky to beat them in 2011. Ya right prob mad Henrik made him look like crap.

What a joke. The one game they won they almost chocked away.

 

[The Icon]

You missed the "Tommy Wingels is the best depth player in the league" one too.

That one is the best.

obviously their d is amazing if they can afford to play their #1 dman as a forward

 

[Buffalo In A Carwash]

Lucky to beat them in 5, maybe. Lucky to beat them period? Lol no, silly Niemi.

 

[Raistlin]

I suggested to them that they may miss Clowe and Murray's toughness.

their response was the team is much better without their toughness.

and Torres >>>>>>Clowe.....

 

[Derp Kassian]

Apparently Niemi thinks we were lucky to beat them in 2011. Ya right prob mad Henrik made him look like crap.

he's been playing pretty unreal this year so don't expect it to go that way again

 

[Jarko2004]

I still say Niomi was brutal on the series winning goal in 2011
