GDT - Detroit at San Jose - Nov 30, 7:30PM

Marleau is a big fat -3 (the worst possible rating you can be in the game so far). He's been invisible on the offensive side of the puck and a defensive black hole. Granted one of the times, it was pretty much all on Braun.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Braun definately needs to work on his defensive game down in the A. I love his passing and ability to create offense with a good outlet but geez I cringe any time he and Vlasic are stuck in the defensive zone.

Datsyuk's goal was brutal. I'll give Braun a little bit of credit for at least trying to play the body a bit (very unsuccessfully of course). Vlasic just stood there and watched Datsyuk go by. I could have done that. I'd have been more stylish too.

lol, wtf was Mike Moore doing there? Poor kids are getting owned. Talk about baptism by fire here with Detroit though.

It looked like he expected Couture to stay along the boards. There has been zero communication from Sharks players tonight.

True, but he had a free pass behind the net. Granted, that leads to what you were saying about zero communication.

 

[li0lsh]

This is nothing I didn't see coming.

 

[filosofy29]

lol, attaboy Nichol. I like it. If you can't beat them, beat them.

 

[li0lsh]

At least they aren't giving up!

 

[li0lsh]

Clowe and blake look alike with the stash.

On and Big B with another assist...

More than Vlassic

 

[filosofy29]

Braun at least knows how to get his shot on net. He's an abortion in his own end, but that can be taught at least.

 

[li0lsh]

There ya go Boyle. Take 3 seconds to wrist it so they can get in front of you

 

[li0lsh]

Good game det fans! Sharks just cant muster with a top tier team

 

[li0lsh]

And LOL AT THAT VLASSIC COMMERCIAL!

 

[Cmon_WTF]

All things considered this game could have been a lot worse for the Sharks.

 

[filosofy29]

Tough game for the kids to be thrown in. I say keep playing the kids and let them learn. Let's see if we have anything here. I think this should be a hold 'em year and play the cards you have even if you know they're going to lose. The Sharks aren't one player away from winning the Stanley Cup, they are multiple players away from winning the Stanley Cup. Let's let this year ride (unless a trade for a player like Shea Weber or Brent Seabrook comes along) and play for next year when Detroit may lose Lidstrom and the Sharks will lose contracts like Wallin and Huskins.

Just my humble opinion.

 

[filosofy29]

Like Cmon said, not a terrible game all things considered.....it could have been worse.

Goodnight gents, see you next time.

 

[Slimpikins]

Detroit is good. San Jose's defense is bad. I would be drunk if I didn't have to work tomorrow.

The one thing Detroit does like no other team is when they have a team down they really know how to pour it on. Man I wish the Sharks had that kind of killer instinct.

If the Sharks were willing to let Moore, Joslin and Braun go through their growing pains for the rest of the season I think they'd be better off by playoff time (assuming they make it of course, I'm starting to waver on that just a little bit) than they would be with Wallin and Huskins in there.
