McLellan says Hertl out of "no-contact" jersey is just one of many steps he needs to take before back in #SJSharks lineup. But progress.

Yep. Hope he can play by 2nd round of PO's. That's means we beat the Queens!

That's good to hear. We could use the depth but I am always hesitant about bringing in a cold player in the playoffs. How many games is it going to take him to get back up to game speed? I am not sure we will have the ice time to spend, at least not on the top line.

the way Hertl skates with his head down he would get absloutely killed in the playoffs after that much time off. Sharks need ralphie back more then anyone

Raffi and Thomas will be a BIG boost in the playoffs. I don't see Hertl playing in the playoffs unless he gets in a few regular season games first.

*anybody worried about what could possibly be wrong with Torres?

problem is hertl doesnt stop pucks

 

[MrChangoT97]

Positive News, but the real problem for the Sharks is themselves.

Confidence is the key to success and the Sharks are lacking "hmmm *cough, cough* Niemi"

I heard on KNBR that Hertl is going to play in the next game

I'd be astonished if that happened, maybe they meant Ralphie which would be far more important to get him back, i worry for Hertl in a playoff situation the way he skates with his head down

1st round: Sharks vs Kings

They changed the rule this year. No more seeded system.

Kork, what about Ralphie? I know he dunt stoppa the puck, but he does add the grit.

Sharks rookie Hertl cleared for game action | CSN Bay Area "Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl has been medically cleared to return to game action, and will play on Friday night vs. Colorado, a source has told CSNCalifornia.com."

Very nice! Good to see him back, finally!

Yes, I like him despite him dropping his dick on us early in the year. lol

Ha ha, that's right his four goal night came against the Rangers. I'm glad the kid is back but I question if he is going to be able to get into game shape for the playoffs. Maybe give him some bottom six shifts to get the legs back.
