GDT #21 - Sharks at Canucks - 7:00PM

[Slimpikins]

Just got home. How bad has it been?

 

[Slimpikins]

Heck of a shift by Stuart on the PK, blocking a shot after taking a stick to the mouth.

 

[SJVP408]

Stop the play!!!! Sedin is hurt!!

No love for Stuart.

 

[koblix]

F&CK!!!!

 

[koblix]

I hate the Nucks!!!

 

[MrChangoT97]

PAVELSKI!!!!!


that Gomez call was bull shit in OT

 

[Slimpikins]

I like Ray Ratto he is such a fat curmudgeony bastard.

 

[Cbrower91]

Well secondary scoring is happening, what happened to the other 42 million in payroll?

 

[SJVP408]

The Sharks can't score and have fantastic goaltending. Sounds like the Kings last season. Get rid of the coach to improve the offense and give it a fresh take. Win the Cup.

Yeah he pissed offf Drew when he said the Sharks stole 2 points from Van.

You could just see the steam coming out of Drew's ears and nose when he defended the Sharks.

Go kick Ratto's ass Drew!

They (teh $42 million) can't do it (all the scoring) every night, yo!

 

[MacJ88]

You guys can hate on Ratto all you want, just realize that he sounds like most of us on this board, lol. Ray is a realist and somewhat of a pessimist but it's a nice change from Randy and Drew's homerisms and their nightly Joe Thornton/Patrick Marleau slob fests. :bj: I think Hedican is probably the best out of all of them, he has that perfect balance and on some nights it looks like he is going to have an aneurysm from holding himself back from telling the Bay Area how normal and average the Sharks are.

 

[MrFlyingV]

Stuart = stud
Havlat = wuss

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Demers was outstanding agian last night so I'm guessing he'll be in the pressbox for the next couple of games...

 

[rares]

He (Demers) did have some horrendous turnovers in his own zone, though... could have been costly but they weren't.

Regardless, Murray remains by far the worst of the bunch.

Demers did? I remember Murray having a couple when they were both on the ice but nothing major from Demers.

I'm begining to think the coaching staff believes the PK lives and dies with Stuart and Murray and that's the reason he remains in the line up.

LOL. Didn't that happen to him a few games ago. I remember watching a recent game, thought he played well, then he was benched. WTF??!!

He's been better than Braun too.
I think you're right about the fascination with Murray, it's because of the PK.

I don't think I'd say he's been better than Braun. If anything there isn't enough sample size from Demers this year to make that determination. Braun has been very good this year dispite his handicap of being paired with Murray. I think the problem lies with people expecting him to be a point producer and that's not really his game. In the offensive zone his abilities are fairly limited. He has a good accurate shot that he gets off quick and that's about it. Braun excells at moving the puck out of the defensive zone, through the neutral zone, and maintianing possession while gaining the offensive zone. He has been able to do all of this very effectively in many ways while still playing solid defense.
