I've purposely held off on extrapolating from individual Sharks performances (until now at least) due to the fact that a) the season is young and b) the roster turnover from last season is bound to produce some varying results. However, with six games under the belt and a road trip looming, it's useful to take a look at the team at a large and see if there's some trends. And that's what we're going to do today.
Opening the docket is scoring occurrences through the first six games. Opponents goals are red, Sharks goals are blue; click to enlarge if you want to see the time stamps and periods those goals were scored in:
You can read this two ways- on one hand, the Sharks are struggling out of the gate, as they have given up the first goal in every single game except when they were in Anaheim. In fact, if you selectively throw that game out, they have only scored one first period goal. Not the best recipe when heading on the road- with the benefit of having the last change, opposing coaches will be able to match their best shutdown pairing against a Sharks team that is fairly top heavy in the scoring department (more on that later). Last season the Sharks went a phenomenal 36-6-4 when getting on the board first, dropping to 17-12-7 when giving up the first goal. They posted an 11-12-5 record when trailing after the first twenty minutes. For the sake of my mental health (along with those luscious standings points) it's essential these early trends don't continue.
The flip side to this argument is the fact that the Sharks have been able to score in bunches, and do so when trailing. A positive sign? Yes, of course. Sustainable in the long run? We'll see.
As I mentioned before, opposing coaches are going to be afforded the last change in the next six games, and you best believe they'll be throwing everything they have at the top line- there's no real need to extensively gameplan for line two considering Ryane Clowe is currently a grocery stick and Joe Pavelski is in the midst of recovering from a left leg injury sustained against Anaheim. To illustrate this point, here's the scoring totals for forwards (sans Pavelski*), split up between the top line and the rest of the team:
*The reason I did not include Pavelski was to raise a point- San Jose will likely be without his services for this entire road trip, and therefore will need to achieve results without his help.
I do want to qualify these numbers a bit- initially I was going to provide scoring rates per 60 minutes of play as they help smooth over the effects of ice time. For example, line one (Heatley, Thornton, Setoguchi) see 10:41 of combined power play time per game, while the rest of the forwards log roughly 8:00- more time means more opportunities to bang the twine. However, it's early enough in the season where raw scores serve our purpose as those per 60 totals can make individual players seem better or worse than they actually are due to small sample size. The plan is to take a more illuminating look after the road trip's conclusion.
Back to the tables. Patrick Marleau has put secondary scoring on his back, accounting for 3 goals and one assist at even strength- a cool 50% of the point output from the bottom nine forwards. That's horrendous on a team-wide level. Ryane Clowe needs to wake up right now because between the top line facing shutdown pairings all night and Marleau's historical goal scoring streakiness, the Sharks are headed for some dire straits if he continues his post-contract ways. Get off the sideboards and in front of the net. A couple more non-factor games and you might be better off signing Simon Birch to play on that second line. Kid's got resilience, let me tell ya.
As for the rest of the forwards, I haven't been all too impressed. The three guys you're theoretically looking at to chip in (Ferriero, McGinn, maybe Malhotra) haven't made a resounding impact to say the least- McGinn has been going to the box too much, Ferriero cooled considerably during the three game homestand, and Malhotra is in limbo between the third and fourth line. Recent call-up Steven Zalewski posted a Shelley-esque 5:26 of ice time against Phoenix. There's not much left to turn to besides continuing to run the Worcester shuttle (an aspect of this road trip we touched upon earlier this month) and hope that someone manages to make an impact on the scoresheet. I don't really care whether it's due to a fear of being sent down, or comes off a converted opportunity after being called up- someone needs to put the puck in the net here. It was an issue at the end of last season, an issue that concerned me at the beginning of this season, and an issue now.
This isn't to say things can't improve- McGinn, while running into penalty trouble, has generated energy on the forecheck and produced some scoring chances. Malhotra, while disappointing thus far, is learning a system far different than the one he played in Columbus under Ken Hitchcock. Ferriero, while spending a heavy portion of his shifts in the defensive zone lately, showed a lot of promise early in the year.
The season's still young to be certain. However, with a six game road trip looming, it's time that forward depth began to kick things into gear.
Hell, pot a goal early and kill two birds with one stone.
Prediction: Sharks win 5-4. Goals by Clowe (x2), McGinn, Malhotra, and, oh what the hell, Shelley. Secondary scoring shoots superbly six subsequent sporting stints straight.
Go Sharks.

im not too disappointed in Malholtra
since he’s been defensively responsible so far
Clowe on the other hand…is he making as much money as Havlat is this year?
Clowe
Has done a few things right this year. Unfortunately they don’t include actually touching the puck on goals, but I was watching highlights from previous games and saw him screening the goalie on at least one of Heatley’s goals and he’s been around the net occasionally on others.
He’s still getting ice time so McLellan is either trying to force him to get into the scoring mix or he sees something there he likes.
He still is drifting to the corners instead of planting his big but in the goalie's way
He needs to go back to his base, (big physical guy who spends most of his time in the crease). He scored a lot of goals last year by being in that area and he needs to go back there.
PREPAREDNESS_Because those goddamn zombies aren’t going to kill themselves
He’s still getting ice time so McLellan is either trying to force him to get into the scoring mix or he sees something there he likes.
Or he just signed a new contract paying him $3.625 M per year, and is playing on a team that has scoring depth issues.
I love Clowe, but he’s a power play specialist. Half his total goals came with the man advantage last year. He didn’t score those from the sidewall trying to make centering feeds. He scored those by driving to the net and using his pretty hands to put rubber behind goaltenders. He hasn’t looked good at even strength either- getting beat to loose pucks, not creating for his linemates, having more trouble skating than usual.
It would be one thing if Clowe was just snakebit right now, but he’s looked like a fish out of water nearly every shift he’s taken.
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
True Enough
On more than one occasion I’ve found myself yelling “You’re not Thornton” at the TV.
I almost threw something when he tried a behind the back no look pass from behind the net in the Wild game. Of course it went right to one of their defenders.
I’m trying to find positives! He really does need to produce though.
Yeah, silver lining is always nice I guess. I’m a big fan of Clowe, but with salary structure the way it is you can’t afford for him to have a bad season.
I hope he breaks out in the next six games because if he doesn’t there’s going to be some big problems.

Clowe has done a few things right this year. Unfortunately they don’t include actually touching the puck on goals.
Well he did make that one sliding save to prevent a goal vs. the Wild. But that’s not really what they pay him for is it?
Puck Daddy: "You would definitely hate the Ducks more than you'd hate the Kings, right?"
Joe Pavelski: "Yeah, definitely."
Like I said, he’s done a few things right. Crushed a couple people in fights that have sparked the team. Played decent in our own end. Screened well on the power play.
The problem is he’s sucked offensively in all aspects at 5 on 5. He needs to improve there, quickly.
Agree
with everyone’s assessment of Clowe, including yours. Just wanted to throw that save out there since it was such an exciting play.*
On more than one occasion I’ve found myself yelling "You’re not Thornton" at the TV.
LOL. Maybe if they throw him on a line with Joe, and once Clowe takes his spot on the boards or tries a miracle pass, Joe can yell "You’re not Thornton" himself.
*I was in Vegas over the weekend and watched the game in the Sports Book area. Me and my bud were the only two guys watching the silent hockey game (Minnesota feed too ugh – I would think it’s hard to be homer when there’s no sound but they managed to find a way to do it) when everyone else was focused on some other sport called, how do you say it, college football.

Chemistry
The team as a whole lacks it right now. And we’re back to a distressing point where it’s 3 forwards and 2 defensemen, not a 5 man unit.
I’m chalking this up to it being early in the season, but in a sport where you play 3-4 times a week, “early” goes away far quicker than anyone likes. You only have so much time to build trends and habits.
In this sense, I think a road trip is good. You don’t get last change, and you don’t have to worry about being “coached.” As the road team, you just have to go out, roll 4 lines, and hit the other team in the mouth. Simple, sound, fundamental hockey.
Go Sharks!

And since the game starts at 4pm, that means I’ll be able to watch the first two periods but not the third. Which I am not a fan of, especially with the lack of scoring in the first period.
Also, thanks to that chart, I was able to figure out how the scoring has gone when I’m here versus when I’m not:
Not here: outscored 5-1
Here: outscoring 19-12

I had a once-a-week class that was Wed. nights from 6:30-10 PM. Brutal. It was a general science requirement-geology in this case. Don’ get me wrong, igneous rocks are awesome, but I can’t listen to a lecture on them for 3.5 hours straight. The worst part was getting out of class at 10. Wed is “random obligatory weeknight party night” at SCU so i’d get out of class and already see drunk students roaming the streets around campus. Weird.

Eh, I have to believe that the caps are going to play a bit tighter game, and that Jose will continue being slightly more than mediocre
"And next year it will be ours."
Jose’s been nothing but solid this year, and the Caps have shown they can play defense against the elite squads (Cases in point, Detroit, Boston) and tend to play to the level of the competition. This should be a crazy game.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
Jose’s been nothing but solid this year except when Marian Gaborik is shooting, unscreened, from the top of the circles
.
He’s been brilliant against Boston, Detroit and Jersey, but damn, that second goal against Gabs was brutal. That’s not all on him, though; the forwards weren’t in good coverage at all. Still, you have to stop a snapshot from the top of the circles you can see the whole way.

Joslin in
Crankshaft has the flu and now who are we going to put out there to let Ovechkin bounce off of? I was really looking forward to that matchup. Ovechkin hits everything that moves, Murray’s best hits always come on forwards who think they can throw a hit on him. It could have been amazing.
I think I’m a little depressed now.
gotta switch up the d-pairing. Boyle-Vlasic, Blake-Demers, Joslin-Huskins – yikes though, the last thing we needed heading into this specific game was no Murray. Frankly though, I think this isn’t the best decision to bring up Joslin to replace a defensive d-man, I’d prefer Moore because he’ll smash people and play back.
Oh, so that's where you edit your signature
In the preseason I noticed Janis Joslin playing a more physical game than last year, but you’re right- a physical defenseman would have been ideal.
Frankly I don’t think there’s much you can do to gameplan for Ovy. McLellan isn’t going to be getting favorable matchups all night. Ovechkin’s going to get his opportunities and hopefully his countryman build upon his last two excellent starts.
Also, and correct me if I’m wrong, aren’t the Sharks one of the few teams Ovechkin hasn’t scored a goal against? Hope that continues…

Dude, I was specifically avoiding mentioning that in fear of a jinx. If he scores, I blame you. Just warning you.
(BTW, the three teams he hasn’t gotten a goal against are the Wild, Kings, and Sharks. Before last year, the Sharks were the only team he hadn’t gotten a point against).

I hope Joslin is going to play more physical, because he’s just not capable of being the Vlasic type defender. If you make mistakes (like Joslin does), you have to be physical enough to make up for those mistakes (like Murray).
Joslin was burned countless times last year in the AHL playoffs trying to play the Vlasic game. Here’s hoping that he gets to throwing the body around a little.

Agreed, he did look more capable in his own zone, but this is gonna be a baptism of fire for his new found ability. I don’t like the idea of slotting him on the top pairing either, if this is just a short term thing cause Dougie has the flu, then why not shake up the pairings a bit – it’s not like they’ve been a rousing success so far anyways.

Enemy at the Gates (2002) – In the ruins of icy Stalingrad, Vasilli Zaitsev (Alexander Ovechkin) has been holding the line for the Capitols. But can he survive the arrival of an enigmatic and deadly German sniper (Dany Heatley)? 60 minutes, Rated R: Violence, language, sexual content, extreme Dan Boyle dangle-time.

Green’s really been struggling lately. First he blamed the stick, then the gloves. We in Capsland are concerned he may be injured, but hoping against it.

Same injury as the one he dealt with in the playoffs last year or something new?

He took a hard hit in Philadelphia(? I think?) this season that’s the cause for concern where he came up kind of gimpy with the shoulder again. Technically, that injury kept him from being as productive as he could have been last year – he was injured in Anaheim midseason. He really didn’t have a slapshot after March.

On the radio in DC today, I heard Mike Wise (A local reporter) talk about his experience getting on a plane in North Carolina that the Costa Rican team was actually on a few days ago when the team was coming up. He recalled vividly that when the plane was taking off, and the captain said ‘Turn off all electronic devices’, the team refused to turn off their ipods, and the flight attendants were going NUTS. He went on to say “THAT’S WHAT YOU GET, COSTA RICAN SOCCER PLAYERS.”

Back home any flights around the country are in itty bitty planes (we’re about the size of massachusets, to give you an idea) so no one cares if you’re on your iPod or anything during takeoff and landing. I wouldn’t want to be using my cell phone during those times, but most other devices don’t do a thing. Those poor flight attendants.

Something struck me about the Sharks' goalie situation
The last time we had Greiss as back-up, Nabby played 76 or 77 games. There is no doubt in my mind that this affected his play during the playoffs. Greiss better be better this time around, otherwise we are probably going to have to go shopping for a better back-up……….or worse……..

Technically, Patzold was the backup at the time. But whenever Nabby was going to be out, they’d bring up Greiss because they didn’t trust Patzold (understandably). So they didn’t really want Nabokov to be out that much because that meant that Greiss had to come up from Worcester.
Also, Nabokov is a beast and decided that he wanted to play almost every single game.

Aye. I’m not fond of it either, but if you remember back to last season following the Ovy “heating up” goal celebration, Nabokov made reference in an interview with Sovetsky Sport that he didn’t like the celebration but can’t “hold down Ovechkin’s soul” or something like that.
*Side note: I love the Russian language, especially when it’s translated.
Anyways, Nabokov then went on to say that if he was in net (after making a save) he would get flashy with the glove and show the shooter the puck.
It’s not really related, but that’s the first thing that popped to mind when I saw it.

Holy crap, 17-13 shots in favor of the Caps in the freaking first period?!? That’s amazing.

I’m amazed the Sharks had that many shots, considering that they took 10 PIMs in the period.

Me too. It either means that there’s going to be a shitload of shots by the Sharks in the second, or that the official scorers are shot-happy.

No, Huet on the Hawks
playing the Preds tonight. I’m a Hawks fan, and I have Huet on my fantasy team.
Sorry to bring the Hawks up over here. As far as the Sharks are concerned, I’m thinking we come out and score 3 this period, 1 on the power play.

I think I know why Nabby took that penalty...........
He was tired of the other Sharks putting him in a tough spot, so he figured he’d at least shove his glove into someones face, he figured somebody else would probably take a penalty, so at least he’d have the satisfaction of getting a little rough
