And Gambrell, and MKarlsson, and Burns, and Thornton
Glad to get the win there but the defensive efforts really need to be better than that going forward. You can’t just be out here blowing 3 goal leads to the worst team in the league.

I think the League owes Vegas an apology that their blown call with a minute left didn't result in a sharks loss.so what did everyone think of the reffing?

I’m probably the biggest Thornton apologist and fan here but I think we may need to put him on a load management system. He can go balls to the wall then spend a game or two resting and/or playing 4th line minutes before again going all out.

He still believes that he is the Captain.Marleau is so god damn selfish. He should have let the captain score.
I swear Burns gets "the flu" this time of year every season. Dude needs to get vaccinated.ek65 has the sniffles. might be a cold running through the team. he mentioned guys weren't feeling good.
maybe it takes that long to absorb through his beard lolI swear Burns gets "the flu" this time of year every season. Dude needs to get vaccinated.

I’m not sure that Jumbo has a “balls to the wall” setting anymore.
Maybe not playing every game but I mean every other game maybe.
Preach on, brotha'.here’s my beef. If the refs are going to call it tight, call it tight the whole game for both teams. If you’re gonna call it loose, call it loose for both teams. They’re not and the sharks are getting the short end of the stick. I have a bigger problem with how bad we’ve been getting boned on reviews this year and George Parros being in charge of player safety. That’s the biggest joke in the NHL today.
Started hot and soft, got hard, then ended soft again.Well that was a hard fart.
I really don’t think his ice time has anything to do with it. I just don’t think he’s capable of playing at a top-9 level anymore. Hope I’m wrong.
This. He just can't keep up. Marleau had always been an iron Man AND able to skate and can still keep up. Thornton looks old, plays old and is just old and tired. Liability.I really don’t think his ice time has anything to do with it. I just don’t think he’s capable of playing at a top-9 level anymore. Hope I’m wrong.
Aside from getting Hertl back, they need Shovels to take that 3c position. Not sure why he's only getting 6 min, he's looked good so far to me.Thornton isn't the top priority to deal with right now. Goodrow on the 2nd line and playing 20 minutes in this 7D set up while Suomela is playing 6 minutes and Heed is only playing 9 minutes on D. They're doing it obviously at first because Simek got hurt and they've won but it's not sustainable. They're going to wear Kane and Meier out given their physical nature with the extra minutes and Goodrow is way out of his depth that high up the lineup. I think he can be a solid 3rd line winger with how his season has been going but they need Hertl back and they need to revert back to 6D and spread out the forward minutes better.
What that all means for Thornton is tough to tell. They don't trust anyone other than Goodrow to be a center but he's better as a winger who takes draws than actually playing the center position between the whistles. I don't think they're equipped to manage Thornton's load in that way right now. They need Hertl to push Goodrow back down where he belongs more than anything else right now.
Sadly I think you are right. He seems to have fallen off a cliff this season. The previous 2 you could blame the rehab but there's no real reason other than age for his decline in play. Must be how Detroit fans felt watching Yzerman limp around his last season.I really don’t think his ice time has anything to do with it. I just don’t think he’s capable of playing at a top-9 level anymore. Hope I’m wrong.
