GDT: Isn't there a game tonight?

[WSS11]

We’ve reached Alex Jones level conspiracy in here hahahah

why would the refs or league be punishing a team that is this ****ty for a hand pass THEY missed?

mmmh I don’t know... two crews get laid off following missed calls in the playoffs followed by condemning comments from the commish which never happens. That’s embarrassing and cost those crews a ton of money. The refs haven’t been objective since, anybody with eyes can see that. The sharks have been under the league average in TSH every season since 2010 and now all of the sudden are in the top 8 and are 29th in PP opportunities with pretty much the same core? Give me a break.

 

[The Nemesis]

To answer the question posed by the GDT title: No, there was no game. There was only assault and battery.

 

[Alwalys]

i mean call me crazy but didn't timo get literally swept off his feet by a defender's stick along the half boards on a play?

You’re crazy.......to think that would draw a penalty for us

 

[tealzamboni]

I don't understand why this team backs off on the physical stuff. They should have been hitting everything that moved at the end and they literally went passive

It is a lost season, so there's that lack of motivation. Big picture, they've never been really built for the goon game. Their best bullies are also their best players (when motivated). The other guys aren't big or coordinated enough to consistently lay the pain. Those guys generally lose races to the puck, so having them finish checks probably wears em out faster and spreads them out thinner.

But, I hear ya. Sometimes, I miss the Marchment, Ron Sutter, Ronnie Stern days. They weren't the biggest or best, but they'd go hunting when needed. I'm hoping Wilson can clear some cap space, PDB tries to turn Reaves into Haley/Goodrow, and Reaves decides to practice his craft as a Shark.

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

Speaking of Jones, let's just play him all 82 next season. We'll be guaranteed a top 5 pick for the year after.

hahh, he'll get tired and need some rest. LoL

The penalty on Timo would be holding the stick . . . . with his feet

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

Dell deserved better.

I thought he payed pretty good - no team support tonight.

We started and ended playing soft as butter. DW needs to fix that when we re-tool this offseason.

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

that loss sucked, we can only lose about 4 more in regulation to stay in the playoff
hunt.

[OrrNumber4]

A game like this makes me wonder if maybe there were legitimate reasons a guy like Haley was brought in.

 

[Pavelski2112]

A game like this makes me wonder if maybe there were legitimate reasons a guy like Haley was brought in.

Of course you can make justifications why he was brought in. That doesn't mean the things he was good at made up for the things he did that actively hurt the team, like being terrible at hockey.

 

[hohosaregood]

I still think you need an actual unhinged menace like Eager to really make another team stay in line.

 

[Doctor Soraluce]

lol! I still remember his one or 2 great games in SJ. One he scored a great goal or two (?) and the other he went nuts and tried to destroy everything on the ice.

 

[weastern bias]

that loss sucked, we can only lose about 4 more in regulation to stay in the playoff
hunt.

LOL

That's a good one

 

[fasterthanlight]

To think --- I used to hate the Canucks and the Oilers more than the Flames. What a dirty team.

 

[Oil Dood]

Wow, the refs are outta control, and the Flames are ****ing divers

They are the dirtiest team in hockey, it does not surprise me to see them getting away with everything, the team has zero integrity.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

We have reached a Toronto level victim mentality.

It would be great if our offense could score too.

It's a copycat league, and we're coming off a Stanley Cup Final between the dirtiest team in the west and the dirtiest team in the east, everyone is ramping it up this year

We have reached a Toronto level victim mentality.

That's an exaggeration

No one will ever be as butthurt as Toronto

edit: wtf? They censor that word on here now? HF is soft, how are they gonna handle playoff hockey?

 

[Used As A Shield]

lol @ Noeson getting 10minute misconduct penalty for laughing at the refs.
Also: mercs article on the game.

NHL: Stefan Noesen speaks out on Calgary Flames' Milan Lucic

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

It was nice to see Noesen try to do something. It isn't about the result of the battle, it's showing your team and teammates mean something to you and you aren't okay with guys getting run at.

That said, Dalton Prout better be pulled out of the cryogenic lab and thawed out before the Mar 23rd game.

I love that Noeson did not hesitate and got in Lucic's face though.
