Far to detailed

 

[Slimpikins]

I agree, it almost makes me think that the Sharks aren't going to suck tonight and maybe win three whole games in February.

 

[rares]

I think I'm just ready for February to be over, yeah.

[RaiderZar]

I see Clowe is going to "anchor" the 4th line. I hope the ice isn't a bit thin tonight.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Irwin in and Demers out tonight.

So Demers who had arguably the best game out of all the dmen last game gets rewarded by getting stuck in the pressbox and Murray who can't do anything positive outside the PK is still in the line up. I honestly don't understand how McLellan makes that move.

From a recent Down Goes Brown post comparing Nascar to the NHL:

NASCAR: A vehicle known as the "pace car" starts out in the lead and sets the pace before everyone leaves it in the dust and it's never heard from again.
The NHL: There's a similar concept, but it's called "the 2013 San Jose Sharks".

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Geez, if there is anyone on the Sharks who deserves a goal it's Sheppard.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Is it me or is Hahn making a shit ton more errors with players names on his calls this year?

 

[Slimpikins]

With the way this team has been playing I wouldn't be surprised if he was drinking during the commercial breaks.

 

[Cbrower91]

well atleast they arent losing *Yet

 

[SJVP408]

Just tuned in. Let's go Sharks!

 

[SJVP408]

Geez, if there is anyone on the Sharks who deserves a goal it's Sheppard.

Yeah I like his game. Good speed, size, and hands. Maybe he deserves some top 6 time. I wonder how his career would have progressed if he didn't start off playing for Lemiere and his defense first-second-third scheme.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Pavelski looks unbelievably slow this year. He's always been fairly slow but he's been brutal this year.

 

[MacJ88]

Demers looked great the other night, for the first time this season he looked comfortable and shook off some o the rust. So what does our bonehead coach do? He fucking benches him?!?! Todd McLellan is a certified idiot. Demers is never going to develop into a quality NHL defenseman with this kind of treatment, it has to be real discouraging for him.

 

[Slimpikins]

Sloppy game.

 

[MacJ88]

On a side note, Marleau was absolutely atrocious on that 2 on 1 play. Does this guy not realize that we don't the luxury of making the 'cute' play? Patty needs to pull his head out of his ass, lower his shoulder, drive to the net and create a scoring chance rather than coast to the net holding on to the puck looking to make the pass. By doing that he let everyone in the building know what he was doing, most importantly the one defenseman back and the goaltender. Patty had so many options but he limited himself to one and of course we still have a goose egg.

 

[MacJ88]

Wow just as I post that, THORNTON LOOKS EVEN WORSE ON A 2 ON 1?!?! FUCKING HORRIBLE! GO TO THE NET PUSSIES!

 

[MacJ88]

Another bullshit goalie interference call. I don't think I have ever seen the Sharks be on the wrong end of that call so often, it seems like it's happened to them every game for the last 5 games. Also, we need someone in teal to channel their inner Brad Staubitz and whoop Jordin Tootoo's ass.
