GDT (56) - 2/17 Sharks at Canes - 4:00PM

[Slimpikins]

Hope you don't mind Cmon.

I'm off work early and ready for a day drunk to kick off the holiday weekend.

Sharks flight was delayed until today so they will probably suck a fat one but I won't care by the third period anyway.

Cheers!


Oh and... LET'S GO SHARKS!!!

McClellan's pregame show with Rusanowsky is on the radio in 5 minutes, maybe the highlight of today's broadcast! Go Sharks!

 

[Slimpikins]

Dan Boyle is a magnet for scoring in his own net


Another shot of Crown?

Why yes I will, thanks for asking.

 

[shrksfn9192]

Nice textbook turnover behind the net.

 

[rares]

Fantastic start.

Fuck this team.

 

[Slimpikins]

It's my first game thread and apparently the sharks want to make it an epic comeback.

2-0 Canes on the PP.

Sharks looking bad early.

 

[shrksfn9192]

This is the "we suck shit" portion of the schedule.

 

[sjrules99]

Torrey Mitchell and Dominic Moore... what a great combo... they will be minus 100 by the end of the year.

 

[Slimpikins]

I am more excited by the prospect of Moore's pest abilities than his PK abilities. We could use more assholes on this team.

fuck having assholes on the team... they need skill up front. moore is a big time minus player and always has been. he is torrey mitchell II. supposed to be good on the PK, supposed to be a solid two-way forward but isnt good at either. It took him 2 shifts to be a minus for the sharks. These guys get these mysterious reputations that stick for some reason despite anything.

0 for 2 on the PK the last two games... now they get another chance...

 

[Slimpikins]

Moore hasn't even had a practice with this team yet. I don't think that it is fair to judge him yet.

 

[MrChangoT97]

what's with Niemi & Greiss?

They both look less than average now.

Ohwell........

Ohwell........

cant blame griess on either goal... both were cross crease tap ins... one off boyle the other white was sleeping. The sharks D is playing horribad.

the first goal was largely a result of mitchells failure on the wing.

I am so unimpressed by this group. They desperately need to add some real forwards.

 

[Destroydacre]

What a fucking awful period.

 

[Slimpikins]

Did anyone expect them to play well tonight? Road back to backs while traveling on game day?

I penciled this game as a loss before it began, no one wins them all. If they can get their shit together and get a point out of it, I will be happy as a pig in shit.

For some reason Carolina is a team that always gives the Sharks fits too. They haven't beaten Carolina in years.

/edit: I take that back they beat them in 2009. So they've beaten them once in years. Still not much better.

True that.

Also, if they lose by less than 4 in Detroit on Sunday, I'll be happy with that as well! :p

 

[Slimpikins]

Exactly, so drink it if you got it. It's good luck and even if they don't win, I'll be too drunk to care.



The bad thing about watching live: I can't fast forward through the intermissions.

Actually, I did expect them to get at least 3 points on the b2b even on the road against the dead last and near the last place teams in the east. carolina is fucking dead last.

Tmac better be on the hot seat if the sharks go out early. He has had 3 seasons to figure out how to kill a penalty and he still cant figure it out. 27 or 28th in the league is unreal.

If they go on to lose this one, the started 1-3 with losses to stl, tb, and carolina is pretty pathetic. With detroit coming and tough games in toronto, nashville-minny back to back, the sharks could easily go 3-6 on the trip.

Just so unimpressive...

That would still be at least 3 out of 6 points to start a long ass road trip (assuming they don't get a loser point today). And let's not act like the PK has been this bad the entire time TMac has been coach.

Sure it would be disappointing but not the end of the world. Besides there is still plenty of time to get back into this game.

Come on SHARKS!
