Pls beat Vegas, thx

That's like the worst case scenario for us so no.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Marleau will be on the roster next season.

Also cuz of course, Sharks win 3-2

 

[Cas]

Melnichuk starts, Bergmann replaces Viel, otherwise same lineup.

Going to this one just in case it's Patty's last. If the Sharks actually win, he better be the one scoring the game winner.

 

[hohosaregood]

We all know Patty's gonna be a development coach in like a year.

Do hockey teams having skating coaches? Marleau would make a good power-skating coach.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Please lose in regulation but please make it fun

Per the team site, they have a "skating consultant" on staff.

On a related note, check out Chmlevski's power stride.

Martin Jones should have never gotten rid of the robot shark mask.

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Love Patty but I'm pretty sure this is his last.....

If you need to consult past references, contact Pavelski, Joe.

I don't think Patty thinks this is his last game, but I think it's his last game.

@Lebanezer which one? saw LS posted one a few minutes before here: GDT: - Fan appreciation, final game of season vs VGK 6pm

With respect to Marleau, and y’all know I love those guy more than any other player ever, he should retire next season. Not only is he not good, but the Sharks have a million young bottom-9 wingers they need to make decisions on. Barabanov, Balcers, Labanc, Meier, Donato, Leonard, Chekovich, Chmelevski, Dahlen, Blichfield, the list literally goes on forever. No room for a feel good story, unfortunately.

 

[weastern bias]

Thank God it's ending (the season, not Patty's career)

Please lose

 

[Nolan11]

Because Murphy's Law is real, Sharks 3, Vegas 1 (Marleau hat trick, plus Vlasic own goal)

It definitely was hard to watch him out there at times this season. A hell of a career. If this is in fact the end it was an a absolute honor to see him play.

 

[Gunnin54]

I don’t want to see Patty go an absolute class act no matter what anyone thinks of him he’s had a helluva career

I say sign him for one more year. Embrace chaos.

Yeah but how many of those guys would you really want playing on the 4th line at this stage in their careers? I'm still fine with him being a 4th liner if they actually just let him stay there instead of moving him up the lineup anytime someone gets injured. I don't want anyone with any semblance of a top-nine future to toil on the 4th line here. For a team that is either rebuilding or refreshing or for some reason trying to make the playoffs but more likely than not will fail, him there shouldn't negatively impact anyone if managed properly. But anyone saying that the coaches won't manage properly will have the point well-taken. I agree that they have that tendency. I think Marleau slowed down towards this last month or so. Being the biased person I am, I tend to believe it's simply the compressed schedule doing that but clearly he's old. I'm okay with him signing for the minimum to play one more season if he wants and the team wants but I won't pout if the team decides it's time to move on. Personally, I think it would just suck to have Marleau end his career without a full house there. I'd sign him just for that but again I am biased.

I'd rather it be Martin Jones' last game.
