Riley Sheahan is a major disappointment

[Probert]

Played over Mantha in OT last night.

Which is why Sheahan and Blash both belong back in the AHL.

As I said in the GDT, Marchenko now has more goals than Sheahan.

And he's only played 36 games this season.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I genuinely don't get it. How has a puck not bounced off him or something by now?

Nope.

It's just tanking. Avoid those god damn extra points.

even tanner glass of all people scored in his 2nd game this season

Sheahan is an HFBoards poster, and he has totally committed to the tank. We should all be thanking him!!

[Mijatovic]

I am impressed. I think it takes real effort to go 60 odd games without a goal.

I wanted to see if his streak extended into last year, but he actually scored a goal the final game of the season. Although he did go scoreless in the 5 playoff games. So total games straight without a goal would be 67 and counting.

He had a nice tip-in against the Bruins, but Rask was lucky. Unbelieveable how nothing goes in.

The season has been ultimate bad for Sheahan, but just with normal puck luck he should have at least ~5 goals total of his chances.

It's not a great number either but that 0 is mind-blowing...

Can we start a thread about how Riley ALMOST got a goal?
Start with that was a really nice tip that almost went in.

A subpart could be how lucky the people were who stopped him.

Against the Pens the goalie made a great save off a Sheahan one-timer

 

[Retire91]

There are 42 centers (people listed as center on NHL.com) that have not yet scored a goal. Sheahan is leading them all in time on ice per game.

There are only 4 centers who have played more than 30 games who have not yet scored:
Riley Sheahan
Brendan Gaunce
Derek Grant
Curtis Lazar

 

[Peter Tosh]

The season is lost. Why not try Sheahan as a dman?

 

[Bench]

We'll tell our grandkids where we were when Riley Sheahan scored.

That's not a bad plan.

 

[Shaman464]

Think of how different this team would have been if they drafted Kuznetsov instead.

We probably wouldn't be any better, considering he probably would have stayed in Russia.

 

[Shaman464]

We probably wouldn't be any better, considering he probably would have stayed in Russia.

Why do you say that? At that point he would have been drafted on a team that still had Lids, nonbroken Dats and Kronwall, and while starting to slide, could have been course corrected.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Considering we're at the bottom. Yeah. Nothing changes

He wasn't someone who slipped through the cracks. Teams knew how good he was, there just were major concerns on his willingness to come to North America.

He is apparently very good friends with Ovechkin, and I believe TZE has said he was even in his wedding party. I'm not sure he crosses the pond for anyone else.

At an AHL game?


sorry. I'm being mean. It's just piling on at this point.

Well, a Kuznetov who doesn't come to NA is still better than Sheahan is right now.

 

[PelagicJoe]

Can we just put Franzen back in to take Riley's place for the rest of the season? Even in his shape, he will score more.

Remember when Franzen's floating was an issue? While he still generated a ton of offense. Man, those were our first world problems.
