Sharks on a five-game losing streak. Chance to get 2 points tonight.

I fear it will be a pissed off Sharks team.
Ooops, I mean Sharts.

Just don't let them smell blood in the water.

I can't believe the Sharks have been this bad out of the gate. Very surprising. Same with Dallas, although they seem to be digging out of their hole lately.

It's going to be in interesting game. SJ has been really poor offensively and I believe they're juggling every line for tonight to get something going.

But can we talk about how bad Jones has been? I think he starts in the crease tonight and he's given up 4 goals above expected per 100 unblocked shots! This could be another win for us tonight if we can just get some pucks on net.

I can't believe I kept Klingberg in my keeper league either.

4-2 Ditka

I'm hoping that the Anaheim game was the start of us digging our way out of the cellar and not just an anomaly where 50SA is the norm.

Cautious optimism. Good luck tonight boys.

Hawks once again get the Sharks when they are on a losing streak. The first game between these 2 didn’t go over well for our Hawks, hopefully this time they do not crap the bed and gain 2 points against a terrible team.

Even though they beat the Ducks, Anaheim controlled the game, the team is still playing like shit. If they want out of the cellar they better start improving there on ice effort and maybe things will start to change.

San Jose isn’t a very good team Granada, they lost a lot of there core and they keep dealing with a lot of injuries to key players.

 

[Raskolnikov]

groan...

bad match-up for us @sharktank.

 

[Raskolnikov]

I love these lines though. This is the type of structure and balance I feel should lead to Colloton being able to have neutrilizing and winning match-ups on any given night. The defense is a work in progress but coach has got a grip on some good idea fwd rotations finally.

4-3 sharks

Nylander-Toews-Saad
DeBrincat-Strome-Kane
Kubalik-Kampf-Dach
Caggiula-Carpenter-Shaw

Boqvist-Keith

Cautious, indeed. Having the nightly speed disadvantage forces them to work a bit harder to compete....never a strong suit for this team. But teams get hot all the time in the NHL, it could happen. Plus the KK/Gilbert pairing can't be a good thing.

Stars are finding their way. Won 4,5,6 in row now or somewhere around there?

Must win tonight with the brutal schedule ahead the rest of the month. And I do mean brutal. Sharks have been bad, no reason a good team doesn’t go into their barn and take 2 points.

A-men!

 

[LordKOTL]

I see our PK is still struggling...except it's our PP.

 

[LordKOTL]

Okay you fucking pussies, if someone whacks Lehner in the mask you get up in his grill!

 

[Raskolnikov]

shorty.

Did the announcers on your end say "talking to Jeremy he is happy with this team."

They were talking like we are resurging. So are some of you above?

At no point in time for the last 6 games have we stopped playing 80% of the game in our own zone. We give open rushes away like we are running drills for the keepers.

Lehner shaking his head on the shorty...

like odd man rushes don't even stop on our power play.

Its a fucking disgrace the way this team is playing. This system is not right for the 2019 NHL and big changes are needed. This team is like 3 games from being blown the fuck up.

I'd start with the coach, for uttering any sort of happiness after stealing a single game 2 to fucking 1.

Let me know when we have more quality chances in a period than an opponent.
