If you had Calgary as the West 1 seed, raise your hand

 

[Kybb79]

Suck it Sharks!

 

[DFF]

People can laugh about the Sharks looking terrible in this game, but Smith has given up 3 goals on 14 shots.
And it's his contract year, UFA end of season. Does he have family in Edmonton or something, cos he's playing like he wants to be signed as the Oilers next starter.

Still better than whatever is in the Sharks net

Sharks goalie tandem is horrific.

Your definition of horrific is strange

 

[c9777666]

Well.... to say I was surprised by Calgary this season would be an understatement

 

[JPeeper]

Your definition of horrific is strange

horrific = bad

Would love to hear why their goalies aren't both trash heaps right now.

Sharks have already made the playoffs.only the flames care about pointless wins

Derek Ryan and Elias Lindlholm were the only Flames 12 forwards that didn't get a point tonight and 4 out of the 6 d-men got a point too.
That's called depth.

 

[Snakepit]

Your definition of horrific is strange

Both goalies sub .900 save %

I mean, if anything it's made it more impressive that the Sharks have done as well as they have since they've had to outscore their own goalies, but yes, horrific isn't a stretch

It's hard to get in the groove when your offense and defense is completing dominating the other team and also only facing .23 shots per minute. Sharks got only a few opportunities, and it was from a few mistakes the Flames made.

You obviously haven't been paying attention to Mike Smith at all during 2019 because he's been playing some great hockey.

Oh I've been paying attention to Smith. He lost the starting job to Rittich, lifted his game and won it back, and nobody really knows which Smith is going to show up on any given night.
Is that about right? (If I'm being unfair I am happy to be corrected - I have nothing against the Flames, I actually like the team. But Smith isn't having one of his better seasons).

You didn’t answer the question...

 

[Rubi]

He doesn't have an answer, or at least one that he wants to say, which is why he tried to change the subject.

You guys keep harping on about the Sharks backup goaltender, yet Mike Smith was even worse and he is going to be their game 1 starter.

Tough to be at your best when you only see 5 shots a period. Frankly he probably had a difficult time staying awake during the game.

Edit: Oops.. my mistake. He faced 6 in the 1st, 3 in the 2nd, and 6 in the 3rd

 

[c9777666]

There is NO way Smith starts game 1. Riitich probably is the reason they are where they are.

It's hard to be focused when you've only dealt with 14 shots... 14.

Want to talk about Jones?

Wasn't pointless. Flames needed that to clinch the division, conference, and home ice advantage at least through the first 3 rounds of the playoffs. Now they can rest some guys the last few games

Please don’t tell me a shark fan wants to talk goaltending.. glass house and all

 

[Rubi]

After watching the Sharks play tonight they're in BIG trouble if they have to face a Vegas team with MAF in net..
If that happens I can see a 4-0 sweep for the Knights.

It was a big win for them

A "statement game"

Not gonna lie the sea of red is a fun thing to watch

That's the season summary, but I think he meant just 2019 Smith (since the calendar year change, Smith has actually been playing really well. Tonight was crap, but he has generally been 0.920 save percentage since the new year. Hell, before tonight, his last 4 games he was 3-1-0 with a 1.26 GAA and a 0.943 sv%).

Yeah, clinching the division by winning rather than your opponent losing is pointless.

I guess Sharks fans share the same attitude as their team.

Did you catch last nights Sharks game or was this your 1st?
