AP Preview​

I know this is early and hopefully that's not bad juju (knocks on wood), but I'm not going to have time to post one in the morning with the game being a 10am start time.

Wake up west coast!

So with Nitty injured and Stalock back in Worc, Who's gonna back up Niemi?

Looks like Sucksmith got called up by the warm up video

God damn it Boston, can't you start the game at a normal time? Some of us are hungover.

 

[Destroydacre]

Not at home so I gotta watch this one online via yahoo and of course it's the NESN feed with Jack Edwards.

 

[filosofy29]

Sharks still look asleep.

I know right, im not supremely hungover, but there is a goat kicking around the inside of my skull

 

[filosofy29]

Wherever Couture goes, offensive chances follow. lol, nice Porky

 

[Cbrower91]

Stalock sounds like he got cut behind the knee, ouch!

 

[Cbrower91]

Sharks have trouble with active PK'er's lol. They excel against lazy stand around pk'er's like the ducks

 

[filosofy29]

Logan and Clowe are a ridiculous combo this year.

 

[Cbrower91]

Fucking Rat Face with another goal

 

[Destroydacre]

Sharks caught a break there. They probably should have been called for too many men. That was a great save by Niemi too and another fine shot from Cooch.

 

[Slimpikins]

That PP was looking pathetic until Cooter got out there.

 

[Cbrower91]

It was a good play by Rat Face and a bad goal by Thomas honestly, getting beat 7 hole on that play is horrible

Agreed, Thomas either underestimated Logan's ability to shoot the puck or he thought he was gonna pass it.

True and good point Kork, but in fairness, it looked like Thomas lost sight of the puck when Logan pulled it to his backhand. He was really deep in the net which usually tells me he couldn't see the puck. Although I could be wrong, that's just what it looked like.

 

[Cbrower91]

Thomas is handling the puck like a live grenade right now, the sharks should start shooting from everywhere, ones going to go in

Yeah but as a blocking/butterfly save, you squeeze the arms to the body to close of those holes, your body with arms squeezed to the side of your body makes a bigger blocking area then you do with your arms out lol, less holes
