Post-Game Talk: PDSF: Sharks VS Kings. Game 3. 7:00PM II

[Gilligans Island]

Just watched the Kings 2nd goal again- Desi gets a bit of the blame trying to get cute with the puck. He shot weakly, and the dman blocked it out easily back to Desi where Gaborik and D. Brown were as well. He lost the puck to them and the Kings transitioned into a 3 on 2.

He probably should have had more awareness knowing the D needed to be swapped out and simply dumped it into the corner to kill more time.

Not sure why Boyle took the ice on the left side leaving Hannan to take the right side as Gaborik came up through the neutral zone.

Oh well.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

A Patrick Marleau OT goal in game 3 put us 3-0 against Detroit, let's just hope this time around we can get it done a bit earlier..

Well when that happened, they won in 5 so I'd still take that. Just don't want it going 7.

I don't think most Sharks fans really HATED the Kings until the Brown/Hertl incident. Sure they were bitter rivals, but I think before the incident most Sharks fans could appreciate the Kings skill and hard nose play.

There was also the Torres/Stoll incident last playoffs that not surprisingly led to a lot of arguing between Kings and Sharks fans on this board.

yes this


Vlasic looks evil in that pic , someone should use it as an avi, it's great

 

[209]

Cool.

Here's your cookie then!

Is it gluten free?

Help me out guys because I still don't get it. If we get past the Kings would we then play the winner of Dallas/Anaheim regardless of the seeding?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

If by lucky you mean that they're contributing to a playoff team so quickly, maybe with Nieto, not so much with Hertl.

If you mean he got lucky by drafting them, nope.

Yeah Hertl was a great pick and Nieto should have been a 1st rounder. Sharks got a steal and they knew it.

Yes pretty sure.

roles are reversed... now all hte pressure is on the sharks to close out the series

if kings win game 4, we'll be labeled chokers
if kings win game 5, this board will freak out
if kings win game 6, pretty much everyone will pick kings for game 7
if kings win game 7... god help us all

Can't we just say "scoring effects, regressing to the mean, etc." or "we outplayed them"

I disagree that all the pressure is on the Sharks. Kings have the pressure of a team that doesn't want to get swept and embarrassed off their home ice. If the Kings win game four, the pressure will increase towards San Jose but not for game four.

You guys are breaking the rules of HF. All failures are a result of DW's ineptitude and all successes are pure luck.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Yes.

Yes pretty sure.

Thank you. I guess we just hope that one goes 7 because both of those teams play us pretty tough.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Thank you. I guess we just hope that one goes 7 because both of those teams play us pretty tough.

I think the Sharks match up well with either team.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Either one of them the team needs to get revenge on anyway. Both are tough and both have weaknesses the Sharks can exploit. Anaheim is slightly better overall though.

Oops, my bad.

Better than the Hawks that's for sure.

Yeah if we're going strictly on who the better team is on paper I'd want to play Dallas, but the thought of knocking the Ducks out makes me giddy.

Oops, sorry LZ. I feel shame.

I "hate" the Ducks as a team/org far more than the Kings. That said, I "hate" far more individual players on the Kings than on the Ducks (excepting Perry, who is literally the worst).

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I this years Sharks have the speed and skill to beat Chicago. Not to mention beat the crap out of them.

 

[LadyStanley]

Yes.

Yes pretty sure.

Yes, but whoever has the most points has the home ice advantage. (So, seeding does count. )

 

[Linkster]

If you mean he got lucky by drafting them, nope.

Yep, I meant lucky that they're playoff contributors so soon -- logging major minutes against a team like LA. Hertl still needs some 2-way game development, but they both 'arrived' at a key moment for DW.

Yeah Hertl was a great pick and Nieto should have been a 1st rounder. Sharks got a steal and they knew it.

Luck and tee-off time reservations at Spyglass. Such a fine line.

It was kinda interesting watching the post-game talk outside the Sharks' locker room between Brodie and Jamie, then Brodie and Kurz. Wilson was breifly there in the background as some of the players (Boyle, Raffi) and staff walked out. All I could think was, "Man, Dougie's tan looks good even in the basement of the Staples Center!"

 

[AKM83]

we'll probably underestimate the stars, so i would rather play the ducks because we know what we're getting with them...
