Canucks-Sharks GNT

[naslundfan19]

Game on NHL Network in the States. Rosters here:Playing Roster

 

[puckhead]

pretty strong line-ups for both sides.
No Joe, No Clowe for the Fish, no Lou for the good guys (minor groin tweak).

C Schneider got blasted for 8 goals from a lottery team in his last outing.
It's a little early for make-or break, but let's say its a big test for him.

First time hearing Shorty! Ah, it's a good thing!

 

[puckhead]

lol - you think Schneider is in the game now?
Ballard doesn't slash him in the head, but does rake a shot at the short side from the corner (are we officially calling that a Boyle?)
Edler looks great so far.

it occurs to me that we have a few former Sharks in the line-up: Ehrhoff, Malgotra, Samuellson




SAMMMY SCORES on the PP. Nice movement.

 

[naslundfan19]

That was mid-season stuff!

That was a MVP pass from Hank...

 

[puckhead]

I don't want to jinx anything, but

Bieksa and Alberts are playing quite well.

 

[dash]

lol..Alberts just got streamrolled in the corner. Nice save by Cory.

Sweet hands by Raymond...

 

[naslundfan19]

Where was this against him in the playoffs, save Game 1?

 

[li0lsh]

Sharks D is atrocious.. And DW did absolutely nothing to upgrade...

Because Chicago has good defense whereas the Sharks don't. That and Niemi is overrated.

 

[puckhead]

Sweet hands by Raymond...

yeah, nice move. he never should have made it out of that corner with all of his parts attached.
SJ penalty kill is sure leaving a lane across the middle. Sedins can feat on that if it stays open.
also, funny to hear Masie Raymond call someone 'kid'.

Sharks don't seem that interested tonight so far.

 

[puckhead]

ooooh.... Ballard just killed Wallin with a good old-fashioned hip check
that's the first good thing I've seen Ballard do as a Canuck.



edit: Glass with hands of stone.
beauty passing play ends with Glass standing in the crease with the puck. nope.
god I hope he gets sent down.

 

[naslundfan19]

What he said^^

 

[naslundfan19]

That was a good looking PP. Everything but score.

 

[naslundfan19]

Nice!

 

[naslundfan19]

First sign of life from the Sharks there.

 

[puckhead]

great shot by Tamby.
THAT's what we've been waiting for since his Chilliwack Chiefs days.

 

[naslundfan19]

First Shark shot of the period goes in .
