man, isn't that just teh Shark's luck against Vancouver lately.
fucking bullshit way to start a game

 

[Slimpikins]

LOUUUUUU!

 

[puckhead]

Niemi with the hook
who's the new kid?

odd to see 4 goals, and no Sedin points.

 

[Slimpikins]

Did they put Stalock in? He's been with the franchise for a while. Had a bit of hype around him before he had a nerve severed in his leg a couple years ago. Good to see him finally get some time. Now if The Todd could figure out how to not play Niemi 70 games a season he may actually see some pucks.

This is the worst I have seen the Sharks play in a long while....Canucks are all over them

yes. he's been strong, and a bit lucky so far
(powerplay rebound slid under his leg through crease, and Kesler hit the post later)

I like these Sharks better than the swarming ones we have seen in recent games.

 

[Slimpikins]

Yeah the Sharks are not looking great tonight so far but I figure they are due for a loss against Vancouver.

Let's hope they prove me wrong.

Sestito gets 2 minutes for slashing the puck

Cheech is a card carrying member of the goaltender's union. Nice work by Couture bumping into Bobby Lou.

nucks power play

 

[Slimpikins]

Good glove by Stalock on the PK.

 

[Slimpikins]

Back on the PK. Stuart has been a steaming pile of crap lately.

 

[Judge Fudge]

cmon Santerroli

 

[Slimpikins]

Marleau had an opportunity to pull it within one late but all for naught. Good game Nucks.

 

[puckhead]

w00t!!

Stalock was very good.
Thornton was freaking invisible for the last 58 minutes.

I was thrilled that the Nucks didn't fold up shop after that first goal.
and also pleased to see Stanton jump Desjardins after the snow shower.

 

[Judge Fudge]

nucks win

 

[Cobiemonster]

Anytime a team can win in that building in regulation, you've done really well - that's a nice win for the Canucks

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Im guessing Luongo wouldnt have been in as good a mood if they ended up losing

"It was quite comical the way the game started," said Luongo. "It [goal] was a rim and it came off the boards funny and then started climbing the net. Still no panic at this point. But once it got on top of the net, I was going: 'Oh, shit, what's going on?'

reduce, reuse, recycle Game Night Thread...........

my goodness the Canucks are good at hitting Niemi right in the crest.
good pace to far. Nucks carrying the play 5 on 5. Sharks looked very dangerous on their powerplay
