As hard as it is to do I'll try for some positives.
Aberg playing his first game in a shitstorm of player suck in the midst of the 2nd period and trying to do whatever he could to get noted and playing a good game. Every credit. The kid couldn't have played better under the circumstance and it had to be hard. The kid getting a point on a nice feed and Pulju goal. Pulju smiling on the bench. I liked all that. There seemed to be some hope with these two.
Benning. I'm rarely full of praise for the player but what balls moments him standing up to Kane, going at two other Sharks and playing the rest of the game with tenacity. Really he needs to remind us more of this in his play but at least we know its there. Please uncork the ugly more often, release the Kraken, we sure need it.
Nurse. Man this guy. The season is a toxic bowl of shit and he does nothing but keep trying, keep playing hard, well, being physical and all in every game. Absolute respect.
Drai, bad game but I liked that he dished out lumber a few times even getting a penalty on one. We were losing this game anyway imo and I didn't mind him bringing some ugly.
Pakarinen. Always like this guy. Sharks got running around pounding people and he reminded that he wasn't going to take. it. gets hammered and proceeds to hammer the guy twice more in retribution and without taking a penalty. But I love the feisty Finn. Just love his all round game. Would be in my lineup every night. These are the players that care enough. With more talent he could be a Finnish Dustin Brown.
Larsson- He was all in on a night where the club didn't have it. I love the guy, really I do, and even more seeing what he's giving here in the worst time of his life.
McD, scores a goal, keeps trying, some good defensive plays and is trying to be positive. You could kind of see in moments he was thinking what a dramatic change this was from last spring.
Not much else but I'm glad to come up with that.
