GDT: WCSF Game #6 SHARKS @ Predators May 9, 2016 6:00pm PDT CNBC

[magic school bus]

If they lose game 7, the tank is going to look really empty next year and deservedly so.

Sad, but true. Why go to the games if you know what's going to happen?

 

[sharski]

So... Follow up one of the best games of the playoffs with one of their worst

I have no idea what to expect in game 7

 

[Negatively Positive]

Sharks are gonna get booed off the ice on Thursday and the tank is gonna be half full next year.

 

[Bizz]

losing Nieto was a non factor, he has never been a difference maker.

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

We were playing fine until Dillon and Jones **** themselves on the 1st goal. Then Nieto got hurt and it was all downhill from there.

The entire team was getting beat on nearly every board battle and loose puck before that. Out hustled from post to post.

Also, they were giving up the blue line way too easily which helped Nashville keep pressuring them.

 

[spintops]

Sharks got killed tonight, I haven't seen the numbers but possession numbers had to be really bad. They were lucky to take it to OT.

Way too much forced board play and the Preds were shutting it down and feeding the transition, killed us all night. We looked like a Todd McLellan team out there.

Going into OT Kurz retweeted that Thornton was -18 shot differential and had a 23% corsi.

Jumbo has been awesome and I'm not going to kill him for one game, but that hurts, especially when Preds first line is carrying the entire team.

 

[Fraser28]

Jones will probably still start game 7, but giving up a goal like that after the Sharks had a couple really good chances to end it should have him riding the pine.

WTF? You mean giving up a goal on a backhand that deflected off his own d-man's stick? OK then.

 

[Led Zappa]

Game 7 the Sharks season is not just on the line but so is their franchise.

They were supposed to be one and done this year in the PO's if they made it at all

 

[rangerssharks414]

Shot attempts were probably close to double.

 

[Bleedred]

Reading and hearing about the Predators is gonna be so brutal the next 3 days.

''So much heart, amazing forwards like Fisher (LOL) and an all world goalie in Rinne'' as if Rinne had anything to do with this win tonight in the slightest.

 

[Bizz]

WTF? You mean giving up a goal on a backhand that deflected off his own d-man's stick? OK then.

he still had PLENTY of ****ing time to react. Stop making excuses.

 

[magic school bus]

Did I see someone actually advocate trading Vlasic?

Yes, let's trade the olympic calibre shutdown d-man. Because that will solve everything.


I get that people want to go full emo and rant and rave and whine after losses, but presumably you should still have a brain in your head at that same time. Christ.

We can get a ton for him, I'm not saying trade him for peanuts. He's got what -1 or 2 yrs before UFA? I'm not paying $9 mil for one side of the puck.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Yeah what was up with Thornton? Potentially his worst game all year?

 

[Coily]

You have to love every year the BIGGEST game is in a 2nd round match up.

 

[Bowie22]

Proud of the boys. Really brought the choke tonight. Show em what you really are...

 

[oyster]

Thornton only 38% on faceoffs, Couture only 18%.

What happened to this team? Did someone drug their breakfast or what?

 

[Bizz]

Yeah what was up with Thornton? Potentially his worst game all year?

yeah, an assist on what should've been the GWG, ****ing terrible waive him NOWZ

 

[DrFeelgood]

We can get a ton for him, I'm not saying trade him for peanuts. He's got what -1 or 2 yrs before UFA? I'm not paying $9 mil for one side of the puck.

Trading Vlasic would be a colossal mistake

 

[Led Zappa]

losing Nieto was a non factor, he has never been a difference maker.

Yeah, players taking extra ice is a non factor lol.

 

[Solmors]

Sharks were a whopping -31 corsi tonight. NSH had 41 scoring chances, sharks had 20. 13-5 high danger chances. They were even out hit 39-23 while getting dominated in possession.

When you play like ****, you should expect to lose. They had no business winning this game.

 

[WestCoast]

This is gonna be a long two days, Predators are definitely a different team at home. My god going into shell mode for 2.5 periods though is agonizing to watch.

Yes, let's trade the olympic calibre shutdown d-man. Because that will solve everything.


I get that people want to go full emo and rant and rave and whine after losses, but presumably you should still have a brain in your head at that same time. Christ.

But it's always somebody's fault. Like DW for getting Pollak & Spaling lol. Or Vlasic for being "the worst d-man on the ice every game of the series" Hahahahahaha. Even Braun is getting tossed into the fire and he's been absolutely fantastic.

Meanwhile, hockey is such a game of momentum and the Sharks didn't quite play as hard as they should've. They could've showed a bit more fight and held the 2 leads they had.

 

[Negatively Positive]

The Sharks are an older team. I think that 3 OT game plus them going all out game 5 has fatigued them. Hope they can somehow get refreshed enough for Thursday.

 

[fasterthanlight]

yeah, an assist on what should've been the GWG, ****ing terrible waive him NOWZ

I'm not saying trade him -- it just was a pretty bad game overall for him IMO

 

[Fraser28]

Plenty of time to react? I'm guessing you've never played goalie in your life? You're out of your damn mind if you think that goal was on Jones.
