The third pair was already rough, now we get the dreaded Irwin-Weber pairing? Let's hope for something unexpected from them.

Time to see if the current top 4 can each play about 25 minutes.

Really wish the young guns were filling those spots on the 3rd pair. I can deal with Hammer being there with someone like davies or something

I didn't like what I saw from Davies in the preseason. He may grow into an NHL d-man but he didn't look ready to me.

I know people love to hate on Irwin here, but I'm not convinced that he isn't better than Hammer at this point. Mind you it would only be by a small margin. I thought Hamhuis looked that bad in the first two games. I agree that giving Carrier, Allard, Santini a chance makes sense.

I tend to agree after watching Hamhuis. Like someone said, either he is hurt or the wheels fell off really fast. He just wasn't fast enough to be in the right position. Irwin gives us improved mobility, albeit terrible decision making once the puck is on his stick. I hope that Weber being bad was a bit of carry over from what Hamhuis was doing.

 

[Scoresberg]

I think he'd be fine on a team that plays a slower style but he's too slow for our style. That being said, with a sound puck-moving defenseman, I think he'd be fine as a shutdown #6D.

 

[Armourboy]

I'm a little afraid the injury last season basically sucked what little was left out of Hamhuis. When I'm willing to give Irwin a go you know it's been bad.

 

[Persona5]

For awhile now I have thought that Hammer shouldn't even be out there. Toward the end of last season and into the playoffs he just didn't play well and just can't keep up with the pace of the game. I am happy to see Irwin in tonight. While he may not be great, he does a solid job when called upon and really pairs up well with Weber as he gives that pairing a good bit of grit.

 

[King Weber]

Kane back in for the Sharks tonight.

 

[predwings]

I like Hammer, but he looks way too slow to cover rushes and play offense now. It's time to just let him go and move to a younger option.

 

[Legionnaire11]

I really don't like all the talk about San Jose's bad start... Feels like a setup for them to wreck the Preds tonight

 

[Predigree]

I have a bad Feeling. The Sharks are allways very good.

 

[adsfan]

"How's married life?"

Yeah, that is what I want to know just before the puck drop.

 

[adsfan]

I see that Kane is off suspension. The Sharks can't win without him?

 

[Scoresberg]

Josi, man.

Beauty.

 

[Predigree]

Juhu

 

[Puckstop40]

Will be watching you guys more often now that you have Dutchy. Please kick the shit out of the Sharks and best of luck this year.

 

[Predigree]

Hope we kick the **** out of your Team too.^^

 

[Scoresberg]

Feels like we're losing an awful lot of one-on-one battles. Makes sense being that Sharks are desperate looking for their first win of the year.

There has not been much tic-tac-toe with the passes, a la Granlund passing to nobody 15 feet from the net.

 

[Marty Party]

We're up one at the end of the first. Can't be mad at that.

 

[Predigree]

You guys are so negative. We locking good so far.
