Just got off work, now to the arena, get some tixs and see my boys play tonight. Excited to see the young guns, especially since the Sharks wont be back here till Jan. Go Sharks!

So Sharks beat the Canucks last game and pretty much that Canucks team beat the Oilers(w/ McDavid) after that so by that logic the Sharks are better than the Oilers and DeBoer is better than McLellan.

Go Sharks! Kick some Yote butt.

I like seeing Donskoi with the joes and Hertl as center. Hopefully the Sharks play well tonight and just don't get hurt. Wednesday can't come soon enough.

Given the composition of the rest of the roster and the options that are presumably available, that 4th line hurts my soul.

... and DeBoer is better than McLellan.

i don't know about that, but time will tell. DeBoer's stock is going up on the stator stock exchange though. I like what I've seen so far, and I like his interview on sjssharks.com.

Go Sharks!

Realistically I think are just given Torres time off, but I think Smith should've been there.

Really like those lines. Would like to see Karlsson somewhere in the lineup once he is back at 100% and Brown out. Also, hoping that one of the young guys can do well enough over the season to bump Ward to the 3rd line. Would like to see Nieto have a breakout year and earn his spot back in the top-6.

Why? X - Tierney - Goodrow has historically been really solid. They have done that line with both Melker and Goldobin, and each saw success. Given the hard forecheck system DeBoer plays Goodrow and Brown should be excellent at keeping the puck low in the offensive zone. With Tierney driving the play, and our increased emphasis on point-shots, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw this line produce at a 3rd line rate. Very excited to see how it plays.

Really love the lines. Marleau-Couture-Ward could be one of the best two-way lines in the league. The defensive skills there are huge and obviously Marleau and Couture add a lot on the offensive side.

Agreed. Plus, Ward is pretty damn good at capitalizing on secondary scoring chances. He adds a grittyness that line has always been lacking.

 

[Coily]

Over analyzing the 4th line. Yup, the season is near.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That line up is probably what we will see Oct. 7th.

Smith will start opening night. Just giving Brown/Goodrow a game..

 

[do0glas]

I like tierney and goodrow. Would be interested to see nieto or goldobin with them as the "scoring" threat. Tierney is too good to just be on s checking line.

 

[LadyStanley]

Smith starting for Yotes.

 

[Nighthock]

preseason seems longer than the off season with this "no TV" shenanigans

Did you know you can't buy alcoholic anything in Arizona if you have a vertical ID? **** that state. I'm just a guy who got a driver's license between the new license roll out and before I was 21. That was like 4 years ago man.

Vertical ID? Never heard of that before.

All your info on the card is vertically aligned.

And why would Arizona care?
