Teammate tells Karlsson to f**k off after risky hockey play

[DylanSensFan]

I say that whenever Ceci is on the ice.

You say f*** off Karl?

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

How do we know that isn’t a player on the other team ?

The Sharks board barely discussed it but they dismissed it thinking it wasn't even Dillon that said it or that if it was, he was joking since he's been quoted recently about how much he loves playing with Karlsson.

They thought it could have been an opposing player, a player having fun on the bench, or even Karlsson poking fun at himself.

 

[alfstheman]

I would pay good money to see Dillon paired with Ceci with a mic on him.

It would have to be an 18+ channel otherwise it would just be 3 hours of bleeping

Any of these theories make a lot more sense than Dillon actually being mad at Karlsson for a perfectly normal and safe play winning 5-1 with less than a minute left.

First they leave Karlsson hanging during a high five and now this. Evander Kane will probably dump Erik's tracksuit in the shower next.

HAHA, that made me spray the screen with black coffee.

Exactly.

I'm not shocked someone could be annoyed or angry at another player, but for a good play in a 5-1 game, it just doesn't make sense.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

That was not a joke. That was anger and frustration boiling over. Nobody in their right mind gets that mad over a meaningless play with 30s left in a 5-1 game. And he cleared the puck all the way into the other zone without icing it. Not exactly a selfish and horrible play. This seems like there's something not quite right in Sharks land.

Maybe their dressing room is broken...

Probably happened in the two hours Hoffman was a Shark.

 

[Korpse]

In what world is that play an issue and how is it risky. I’m blown away.

 

[Agent Zub]

Holy shit have some of you guys every played sports?

Quite obviously said in sarcasm. Karlsson was incredible that game and he made a great play .

 

[ThreePosts]

Sounded like Dillon may have called for a pass back but EK made the safe out given the situation.

Could've been in the heat of the moment, could've been nothing, or could've even been an opposition player with the sound byte...regardless, I'm taking Karl's judgement on the right play in that situation, and every other, over Dillon's every time.

 

[HSF]

This was always going to be the issue with EK playing on a different team, especially a contender.

This has all likely been blown way out of proportion, but was also likely based on many instances that boiled over at the end of the game.

EK is going to have to learn how to play as a piece in a team's make-up going forward, rather than running the entire show like he did in Ottawa for the last several years. It will be a learning curve and take time. It's got to be a difficult adjustment to no longer being the default best player on the team, the go-to guy for offence and defence, or the dominant voice in the dressing room.

Guys playing in a tight veteran system are not going to appreciate EK's freewheeling play that leads to exciting offensive plays, but also too-frequent epic defensive lapses. SJ is not very good right now compared to how they expected to be with the addition of EK, and that has to be frustrating at the moment.

Anyways, these seem like embarrassing growth pains for EK, but I'm sure he'll adjust to no longer being the top dog, but rather an excellent pice of a larger puzzle. This will likely lead to a drop in his numbers, but we might see more team success wherever he plays as a result.

how is this karlsson fault lmao?

 

[TaroTsujimoto]

This was not a joke. Dillon must have been fed up with Karlsson's individualistic play. Although Karlsson executed well on this particular play, passing the puck back to Dillon behind the net would have been the safer and better hockey play.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

"Instead of tearing up a weak Pacific Division, the Sharks are clinging to a playoff spot by their fingernails, struggling to adapt to a new aggressive style of play centered around Karlsson’s ability to push the play from the backend. Now the fan base is hot, head coach Pete DeBoer is under fire and Wilson held a meeting with the team Sunday morning, likely relaying the message that if things don’t change quickly there’s going to be a shakeup. This can’t be a whole lot of fun for Karlsson to be part of right now."

Sorry Sharks fans, keeping Erik Karlsson in San Jose is going to be hard

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

"According the TSN story, the Senators saw limited practice time last winter in a season where they finished 13th in the Eastern Conference because Karlsson, the team captain, didn’t want to practice. The piece suggested that it caused friction in the dressing room because his teammates felt guilty for not practicing when they were hovering near the bottom of the standings. The clip concludes with an anonymous quote from a Senators player who said that without Karlsson, the team is going from being a “dictatorship to a democracy.”

Lol because Karlsson doesn't want to practice the others can't? What a crock of bullshit

Coach consulted with the Captain, and scheduled the practices when he wanted them.

Sounds like a coach problem

And here i thought Boucher had his own set of testicles all to himself, but i guess its just an empty sack

 

[DaveMatthew]

That actually sounds like Karlsson talking to himself... he should probably practice more though.

Wow.

Do you have any proof of this? Because if we have any type of proof that this is true Boucher needs to be canned yesterday. I imagine Karlsson also wrote his post-game script since Boucher was always saying that ''rest is a weapon''.

That's how good NHL coaches do it!

That hockey feed site sucks.

Well compared to throwing it back to Dillon

That is 100% on Boucher, not Karlsson. This whole org catered to EK and gave him a sense of entitlement that hurt him and the team. I place zero blame on EK, while he needed to go IMO, it's because of what the org made him into (bigger than everyone else).
