GDT: Sharks vs. Golden Knights 6:00pm Marleau's last game?

[CupfortheSharks]

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.

You’re right about one thing. You are biased. Marleau has had a great career and been a great Shark but it’s past time for him to retire. Signing him to play next year does not help the Sharks in any way at all. If he wants to be around the team and lend his experience to the young guys it would make sense to bring him into the coaching staff.

Happy for Patty. This should be his last game and hes had a hell of a career

 

[sharski]

Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input.

Sorry to tell you how it is Patty.

Sorry to tell you how it is Patty.

It's not how it is. It's just your opinion rudely stated.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

Didn’t mean for it to be rude. Do you really think we can’t sign a more effective vet for that role? I’d rather have Nieto back if we want another veteran forward.

I wanted to be able to watch my entire baseball game and make sure I was done with dinner

It's just to early to drink enough to want to watch this game

 

[Cas]

SNOG
Vegas 5, Sharks 1
Marchessault, Pacioretty, Stone, Theodore, Carrier
Kane

A very disappointing finish to the season.

It depends on how you're defining effective for a 4th line role. Probably but I don't think it matters much.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

5-2 Vegas

Pacioretty, Stone, Karlsson, Tuch, and Theodore

Kane and Hertl

 

[bluefunnel]

SNOG:

4-2 Sharks.

Kane, Hertl, Marleau and Balcers.

Stone and Tuch.

 

[magic school bus]

Patty's done. No shame in saying that. He's had a tremendous career.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Final game of the season, might as well do a SNOG.

Knights 5 (Carrier, Marchessault, Stone, Holden, Theodore)
Sharks 1 (Hertl)

 

[one2gamble]

Interesting lineup

 

[Lebanezer]

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

I didn’t see it. That’s my bad.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

I'll be at the game. My wife and Daughters first time at a hockey game. I told them don't expect a win, it'll be fun either way! Go Sharks!!!

 

[Boja]

4-0 Sharks

Patty scores all four and secures a new three year contract

 

[The Nemesis]

Alright everyone. Once more into the breach.

I'll be at the game. My wife and Daughters first time at a hockey game. I told them don't expect a win, it'll be fun either way! Go Sharks!!!

When I first saw this post I thought you said you told them to expect a win and I was gonna have to call child protective services on you.

 

[one2gamble]

I can't actually root for a loss here even though I want them to lose

 

[one2gamble]

That's an atrocious goal

 

[Bizz]

I'd rather it be Vlasic's last game too.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

If losing and tanking means Boughner is gone tomorrow, than go Tank. Boughner is a terrible terrible coach and it will be hard to change my mind on that fact. You are the leader of the team and when the team is one of the most atrocious teams on the power play in franchise history (Or at least it feels like it) than that's on the system.
