Game Thread: San Jose Sharks vs Vancouver Canucks

[mooger_35]

Rock it with your cock NOT out... no 4 goal games for Big Joe please! Nobody wants to see lil'Joe.

This will be game 5 of Kassian's 5 game suspension.

 

[puckhead]

Hamhuis has to be careful hipchecking Thornton there.


/watch your cornhole, bud

 

[puckhead]

Sharks looking like the better team through 20.
Niemi sure held them in during that powerplay, too... 5 shots, including 2 or 3 doozies.

 

[puckhead]

Santorelli has 4 on the year already
Kassian may not get his spot back

 

[mattola]

better figure out how to beat that team and soon

Matt Pelech scores his first NHL goal and Uncle Mike kicks him out of Rogers Arena...

 

[puckhead]

better figure out how to beat that team and soon

play them twice more by Nov 14, and that's it for the season series.
Sharks are rolling, that's for sure. peaking too soon, is the way I look at it



I also assume the Nucks are 5 games into new systems,
and will presumably be a deeper team with Burrows and Kassian back in
I think having Santorelli/Stanton as productive pieces is a pretty good bonus.

Eh, don't worry dudes... Sharks started 7-0 last year and then they cooled down.

They're always good for a 7-10+ game winless streak or two. It happens every season.

I think the Canucks will be fine too.

Plus, it's kind of hard NOT to make the playoffs in the West anyway. /shrug

True, I remember last season they were talking about Marleau the same way they're talking about Hertl now. Guess you gotta take it one game at a time. Good luck to the Sharks, they've been a fun team to watch this year.

Who owns the Nucks? Sharks do. That's for damn sure.

Edler with a phone hearing for that hit on Hertl. Come on.... kid leaned into it and Edler has his shoulder tucked in the whole time. What's he to do?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

wonder if Torts ends up taking that A away from kesler ... wouldnt that be something

 

[mooger_35]

Kesler looks disinterested out there. Not skating at all.

As I read last night on twitter... if this is healthy Kesler, I want injured Kesler back.

I wonder if Hamhuis is going to get a seat in the press box soon. Guy's got no confidence and coach definitely doesn't have any in him either.

Interesting stat line: Santorelli lead both teams in ice time last night with 23:42

I am sure the NHL marketing team and the NHL social media team have a few weeks worth of Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertl themed content planned and Edler put that at risk by, you know, playing the game correctly. He MUST be punished.

I mean the kid got the NHL on ESPN and popular sites like Buzzfeed. They haven't gotten this kind of exosure since that one kid scored a OT at the Olympics, whatever his name was. The marketing guys are creaming their jeans. HOW COULD EDLER BE SO CARELESS?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

No, it was a name I've heard before. Can't place it right now.

Yup! Reminds me a lot of Moore on Naslund. Not much you can do when a guy leans into it.
