Imagine if Shovels had Gregor going to the net instead of Melker.

Why would you want a dynamic lower line ....we need to block shots and bang bodies and defend well. You know as opposed to being in the ozone

Hah.

 

[exchequer]

Has EK9 been playing great or what. Almost a PPG player so far.

Does Melker even throw hits? I've only ever seen him on the receiving side.

 

[fasterthanlight]

I feel like Erik should shoot more instead of whatever the coaching staff is telling him to do

 

[Pavelski2112]

Remember when Sharks-Kings game were intense?

 

[fasterthanlight]

tmac sharks plant confirmed

 

[Big Cactus]

D structure looking waaay better from you guys lately. f***ing good to see considering Hertl’s out. It’ll be interesting what winger you guys can grab at the deadline.

Selfishly padding his assist totals so that he can get more kudos from people. Doesn't he realize it's not all about him?

 

[fasterthanlight]

heed's last NHL game

 

[Naki]

PP looks terrible. Kings aren't having to move to defend it.

It’s weird how every time Melker gets hurt he’s only out for one game and then he’s back. I just want one stint on LTIR. Does that make me a bad person?

 

[LeftHeartInSF]

Thornton is damn near useless at this point

 

[fasterthanlight]

Thornton is cooked I think. He spends more time yelling at his linemates to move than he does moving

 

[LA Shark]

Ya, with a healthy Hertl, it might be time to let Gambrell skate with Sorenson and Patty.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Thornton is damn near useless at this point

Even when he was slowing down he could still see two steps ahead of the play. Now he's mostly a step behind. It's tough to watch.

They also always look better when he sits

 

[fasterthanlight]

Marleau - Couture - Kane is a good line

 

[Erep]

Felt like Thornton had his best game of the season on Saturday, and was hoping that was going to continue, but not looking great so far...

But huge for Karlsson to get on the scoreboard. I feel like Hertl, Vlasic, and Karlsson have really been leading the turnaround, even without Karlsson putting up big numbers, so I feel like that is the next step.

 

[LA Shark]

Terrible play there by Kane

 

[Bowie22]

Wtf was that pass?

 

[mooncalf]

Thornton was good against the Islanders, but yes, he doesn't look the same player he was even last season so far this one.

 

[Tw1ster]

The dreaded one handed hook
