GDT: Good Guys vs. Bad Guys, 7PM

[Blackbear]

Karlsson’s 5-on-5 goal differential this season is -1. The next best full-time Sharks defenseman is Marc-Edouard Vlasic at -7, and that’s mostly due to Karlsson carrying him over the past two weeks.

Funny how we heard so much about plus/minus when Karlsson’s plus/minus was horrid, but now that he’s the got the best 5-on-5 plus/minus of any defenseman on the team, we’re not hearing about it at all.

Funny I was seeing the exact opposite, that Vlasic has been carrying Karlsson, who looked shaky on defense last night (e.g.). At the moment, Vlasic is a -1 the way that stat is calculated and Karlsson is -5.

Are we like good or bad though? Haha

We've gone from bad to mediocre. We're not good yet.

That's because you are a purposeful contrarian. They work together very well and contribute in their own ways. Karlsson helps move the puck out effectively thereby limiting the amount of time they spend in their defensive zone and Vlasic breaks up plays and gets the puck to Karlsson to move it out and generate offense. They work hand in hand.

Haven't been able to watch the last two games, but have Karl and Vlasic been working well together like we all thought they would when the trade happened?

It's been the best both players have been all season.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Crazy idea to think he was still pissed about the no-call on Ritchie?

Could have been possible. Even if it wasn't extremely dirty, it was late and not in the context of play. Burns should just take a # and give him the Calvert treatment next time they play.

What were Prout's underlying numbers last night?

I mean, Prout should do that. It's his job, right?

That's good. It's not surprising that EK is starting to turn the corner, but it's majorly good if Vlasic can be consistently good.

In a 1-goal game that late, no one should be taking anything retalitory. Take the number and get his ass another time in a low-leverage spot.

Not very good considering minutes and opposition.

Yea, agreed about that. Just saying, Burns' job is to play hockey, Prout's job is to take numbers.

Well, yeah, but at 6-5 240, he can throw butt checks from time to time.
