GDT: Sharks vs Coyotes 7:30pm the tank is paused? Pasichnuk debuts

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Always enjoy a win, but it just makes those blown games against Anaheim hurt even more.

 

[magic school bus]

I am too, which is why I hate seeing Burns and EK and 44 still syphoning 22-24 minutes per game.

We have to keep their minutes up if we want to trade them.

 

[Alwalys]

lol burns is over it

They're not getting traded even if you give them 40 minutes a game.

 

[TheBeard]

Super excited to face a desperate Colorado team for 4 straight.

I have a feeling Korenar is gonna get lit up big time. He's aggressive and active, and those Avs top dogs are gonna pick that apart

Depends on if they get some of their guys back. They're pretty beat up and not having Mikko play is a huge swing in momentum.

If Sharks win, I doubt we play the young players. I have little doubt the energy is coming from them.

 

[Pavelski2112]

So this Barabanov guy is pretty good

Too bad Barabonov is a UFA

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Super excited to face a desperate Colorado team for 4 straight.

If Dubnyk is in net, the Sharks will get wins.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

So this Barabanov guy is pretty good

There's only 1 #94 from Russia....I can't believe Korky is 45 years old.....

 

[OffSydes]

They cant even tank correctly

 

[STL Shark]

Barabanov/Kane connection is good, allthough Kane and anyone connection seems to be good!
Kane is the real MVP

Would love to Old Takes Exposed the dummies that were saying Kane was not worth his contract the past 3 years and those saying he was not playing well this season.

 

[STL Shark]

They're not getting traded even if you give them 40 minutes a game.

Who do you propose we play for those minutes then? Would you rather Vlasic be out there more often? Ferraro is already playing a ton of minutes. Knyzhov is playing an appropriate amount of minutes. You can bemoan everything forever, but at some point Burns/Karlsson are the workhorses and still in physical shape to handle those minutes. You have to ride them.

 

[Barrie22]

What was so bad about burns tonight that got every one complaining he needs to be sit down? The stat line for him looked good today minus the 0 points.

+4, 6 shots on net, 2 blocked shots and 26 minutes of ice time.

 

[magic school bus]

Kane suddenly not taking penalties anymore isn't something anyone could've predicted.

 

[Sharksrule04]

There's only 1 #94 from Russia....I can't believe Korky is 45 years old.....

I mostly think of him as #15. It's the number I've worn most of my life as he was my fav as a kid.

Separately, how was Barabanov used in Toronto that he only got a single point in 13 games? I mean that trade is looking like a steal. I know it's two games and we'd have to sign him but damn has he looked good in the top 6.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Yup. I'm sure next year though when he goes goalless in like 5-10 games the crying will pop back up. I've said it since the day he was signed, there is nothing wrong with his 7M contract. If anything I saw way more room for the upside versus it being a cap nightmare.

The only thing I hated was his penalties and for the most part he has taken care of that issue.

What's kind of strange is that he didn't really start having penalty issues until he came here.

One of the best adjustments Boog brought to the team!

I've been pleased with Barabanov, but IMO the half-glass full perspective is that ideally he's not physical enough for a top two line and not defensive minded enough for a bottom two line. So, that'd be something like a green Donskoi or really raw Nyquist. With that profile on the Maple Leafs, he may have been scrapping for bottom line minutes. On the Shorks, there's plenty of opportunities for anyone with good skates and wrists.

He's a guy that would be a nice piece to have on the 3rd line (along with a bevy of others). There are a ton of 3rd line scoring wingers, but no 3rd line scoring center (we have one but he's just having to play in the top 6). Gotta get deeper down the middle to package with this wing depth.

Yep, in today's NHL, you really shouldn't have a third line full of grinders. Having a skilled third line of Barabanov-XXX-Labanc/Donato that provides secondary scoring and contributes on the 2nd PP unit would be great.
