Forgot he was still out there.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Huh, good for him.

 

[Deku]

Surprised it took so long

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

good for Marleau but I'd be shocked if he's not terrible

 

[895]

So why didn't this happen earlier?

Fitting end for Marleau. But he’ll always be remembered as a Carolina Hurricane imo.

 

[Curufinwe]

Guess his “sources” were legit, Dr Pepper.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Your move, Winnipeg

 

[895]

Also, if he doesnt play tonight, his streak is over right? Guess he doesn't care that much.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Seems like DW just throwing shit at the wall because the sharks started out poorly

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Guess his “sources” were legit, Dr Pepper.

?? Out of the loop

 

[NHL WAR]

Wonder why this couldn't have happened in the off season, but nonetheless good for him. Could still be effective in a limited role.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

So why didn't this happen earlier?

possibly because the Sharks look awful and got more desperate

 

[JerseyMike34]

So, because he's signed, and the Sharks play tonight, if he doesn't play, does this kill his Iron Man Streak?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

So why didn't this happen earlier?

Tried out some young guys who didn’t do very well

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Oh no, Sharks. What is you doin?

 

[RoloTonyBrownTown]

So why didn't this happen earlier?

Doug Wilson wanted to give a few younger guys a chance but it turns out they were hot baby diarrhea. So instead, he's going with veteran hot baby diarrhea who can at least provide "leadership" and a "locker room presence" aka just be buddies with Joe Thornton because they are both one hundred and fifty six years old and can listen to shellac 78 RPM records and talk about the railroads and such. You know, intangibles.

Following in the footsteps of the LA Kings Recovery Plan, AKA "Rescue your old, slow team by bringing in another old, slow veteran."

Guessing it's this.

Did his "sources" tell him that?

I wonder where he's "hearing" things are heating up.

Someone doesn't know who marleau is.

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

Oh no, Sharks. What is you doin?

3 Sharks, including Sorenson, out with injuries already. Alrweady running a bunch of rookie forwards before the injuries.

 

[InfinityIggy]

So, because he's signed, and the Sharks play tonight, if he doesn't play, does this kill his Iron Man Streak?

Could they do something funky like push back the 'start date' of the contract, or is that not allowed?

He doesn't have much for hands anymore.. and thinks the game too slow now.. but he can certainly still skate
