GDT: SHARKS vs VEGAS GAME 1 7:30pm

[RussianShark]

I feel like we usually don't play on the first day of the playoffs. It feels like a damn national holiday for me. Being on the east coast and having the games start at 7 helps too. I can't wait to be engulfed in beer and quality hockey for 6 hours.

Hopefully the boys come out jumping and can start a run to 16 wins.

 

[Pavelski2112]

f*** it, whatever.

Here we go I guess.

 

[drunksage]

Meh, not wearing the jersey b/c I've always been a shirt guy, and it's kinda oversized anyway. I would feel awkward wearing something that big to the Tank itself.

That said, time to traipse about in public. Wish me luck.

 

[one2gamble]

Only one complaint and he's going to get like 2 minutes of ice time

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

As long as we don't wear the black stealth jerseys. Black jerseys are bad luck for us.

Black jerseys all playoffs long. Every night Even if they have to petition the league to make the opponent wear white at home.

 

[Agent Zub]

I think Karlsson is going to go super nova again.

 

[Lebanezer]

I think Karlsson is going to go super nova again.

His pregame interview certainly seemed like he was going to explode.

 

[The Nemesis]

I think Karlsson is going to go super nova again.

I agree, Melker will save us by exploding for 1 goal and a secondary assist.

and then he'll be promoted to the top line at the expense of Meier.

In other news, how in the nine circles of hell is Kane - Hertl - Nyquist not called the top line? I get that Meier - Cooch - Pavs has more points, but come on now...

I’m not generally antagonistic but I truly hope we sweep Vegas, just to stuff it in all those media who chose Vegas because they’ve “turned it around.”

I’m excited to no end!!

Go Sharks!!!

 

[slocal]

Chomp chomp, bitches!

 

[WSS11]

I’ve never been so nervous about the 1st round before. Please let playoff jones return. Let’s f***ing go boys!!!!

The Blues in 2012 I knew we had no chance.

 

[RoloTonyBrownTown]

Best way to watch the game after it's over? I won't be able to watch live. Don't have a DVR.

Or should I just not even bother? Just go straight to my Haley punching bag and start cursing DeBoer's name?

They should just make the league black and white. Colors are for chumps.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Here's some Karlsson highlights. Excited to see him play tonight.

 

[jakeytown]

I think Im gonna hurl already

 

[Nighthock]

Ah, yea - game 1 confidence. A familiar drug.

 

[Ol Dirty Pirate]

I want to see them come out and steamroll, showing that the last month was just them going through the motions. I have a bad feeling Haley will be goaded into a penalty or a high hit and Vegas will get some twice deflected point shot PP goal.

I don’t want them to steamroll. They do that they’ll get overconfident. I just want two goal wins. Enough of a lead to breathe but not enough to take the foot off the gas.

 

[PackShark]

I like us to eventually pull through, but I think there’s going to be adversity through the first 4 games before that happens. Vegas 4-3 (OT)

Stone, Smithx2, Eakin

Labanc, Sorensen, Couture

 

[Vaasa]

I assume the game is on CSN? If any games stream on the NBC app I can watch those via my Apple.tv (I think) but otherwise I don't have access.

 

[LadyStanley]

Have to miss beginning of game (Lent service @ church, unless we only play early in service).

Probably will have TV on mute with Rusanowsky on radio.

I think a healthy Sharks roster can steamroll and keep it going.

Human nature and parity likely prevents that.
