GDT: Sharks @ Canadiens - 10/26 - 4:00 PM PST - CSN-CA, CBC, RDS, KFOX

[OrrNumber4]

No Burns and Couture slumping is killing the Sharks's offense.

 

[Grave]

Wow Desi has his name on the boards

 

[vilpertti]

Wingels pushed the guy into the boards and Drew says there's nothing wrong with what he did. Yeah that's a bit homerish.

He is entitled to his ice.

 

[jwhitesj]

I don't like how the Sharks are playing

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Not good enough. Trying to force passes.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

McCarthy on the top line.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Sloppy period.

 

[Timo Time]

More cross ice passing. Stop doing it.

 

[jwhitesj]

How many games can Nieto play before he has to go through waivers to be sent down?

Anybody?

Not that I want him to be sent down, I was just wondering if he has to clear wiavers if he plays more than X number of games.

 

[Frosty415]

Sheppard is beasting, don't know how you guys claim he doesn't deserve a spot on that 4th line.

 

[Timo Time]

Kurz just implied Hertl should be a healthy scratch soon...

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Stay on your feet Tomas.

 

[Grave]

Kurz just implied Hertl should be a healthy scratch soon...

Kurz is a doofus.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Long shots to the net with no one screening the goalie reminds me of the Sharks of years gone by.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I know the score is 0-0 but how have they looked?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Sheppard is beasting, don't know how you guys claim he doesn't deserve a spot on that 4th line.

Hes had a good period.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Just like the Thornton-Burns line was different without Hertl on it, the Thornton-Hertl line is too different with Burns off.

Hamilton hasn't really impressed.

 

[do0glas]

Hertl didn't do himself any favors by scoring so much lol. That line misses burns.

 

[jwhitesj]

I know the score is 0-0 but how have they looked?

Not playing as a team that period and trying to force things instead of taking the empty space. They could be playing a lot better.

 

[Hobocop]

Just like the Thornton-Burns line was different without Hertl on it, the Thornton-Hertl line is too different with Burns off.

Hamilton hasn't really impressed.

I'm not sure why Hertl got bumped down to line 4 and not Hamilton. Kind of head-scratching.

 

[magic school bus]

A little bit of old Vlasic emerging at the end of that period as he farts away another scoring opportunity

 

[bluefunnel]

How many games can Nieto play before he has to go through waivers to be sent down?

For Nieto, being 21 this calender year, 80 games or 3 years.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Not playing as a team that period and trying to force things instead of taking the empty space. They could be playing a lot better.

Thanks. So pretty even between the teams?

 

[Account Terminated]

Not playing as a team that period and trying to force things instead of taking the empty space. They could be playing a lot better.

On the plus side, they have limited the Habs time on attack in the defensive zone and have looked good stopping them cold in the neutral zone. They've also maintained a lot of pressure in the Habs end, cycling well. The only things they need now is more shots on net and more establishment in front of Price.

 

[Timo Time]

I thought for the most part we were the better team that period. Could have shown more if we didn't have a PP full of emptiness.
