When the Sharks road trip was shiny and new, we took a look at scoring occurrences (amongst other things) against opponents throughout the first six games. There's a lot of illuminating information in that piece, but a brief summary can't hurt right?
It depends on what your definition of "hurt" is. What hurts me is watching the Sharks come out softer than an inebriated geriatric leaving Spearmint Rhino. And like the future of, well, future Plank, I am hurting right now. For the life of me I can't figure why getting going in the first period is an issue for this team. They've given up the first goal in 75% of their games thus far. They've gotten hemmed in on the forecheck, lacked pop in the neutral zone, and been shoved back onto their heels.
As Sharks fans, it is our duty to wear tinfoil hats and await our eventual demise identify the issue and find solutions. Although McLellan wouldn't dare dream of taking our input (thank God for that), it hasn't stopped us before. Onward ho!
Behind The Bologna: Why Todd Richards Actually Left San Jose
"Hey, Coach, these Fear The Fin guys had this idea..."
1) Luring other teams into a false sense of security. This one's pretty applicable to your personal life, so it's not too difficult to understand where the Sharks are coming from. A friend invites you over for the night, you share some laughs and let them dominate the conversation. Said friend goes to the bathroom and BOOM! Tough actin' Tinactin baby, they're right where you want 'em. Upon return you're naked on the couch demanding three Twinkies and a glass of 2% ("Don't take time to milk the cow ya hear!"). The quick turn of events, coupled with the fact you were so amicable only moments before, prove to be too much for the opposite party to handle.
Drawbacks: After awhile word gets around that it's a smoke-screen and people come prepared for a full-length fight.
2) Rob Blake hated Gang Busters. As a child in the 1930's, Rob Blake was forced to listen to Gang Busters by his peers due to the fact that his family was the only one on the block who owned a radio. The term "Coming on like Gang Busters" reminded Blake of afterschool threats of violence, a fear that continues to this day.
Afterschool threats of violence
Following the announcement of the Captaincy, Blake vowed to never give local newspapers an opportunity to use the beloved American catchphrase.
Drawbacks: At no time do the Sharks ever "Come on like Gang Busters", causing police sirens to flood the city of San Jose.
3) Lack of heart. Without a sufficient cardiac cycle, skaters are forced to save oxygenated blood for latter periods. It is a known fact that Doug Wilson will not sign a player unless he has a malfunctioning left atrium and ventricle (i.e. the third and fourth rounds of blood flow).
Drawbacks: [Theory Refuted]
4) A lack of preparation, familiarity with linemates, inability of the blueline to hit aggressive breakout passes on the tape of forwards above the circles, and reliance on the big scoring guns. I really haven't been able to pin the Sharks first periods on one specific thing, but can safely say that it is a team wide ailment, and not something restricted to individual lines. It's almost as if the team is waiting around for someone else to make that defining play early in the period and get them going. The only positive I can take from the current run of anemic opening stanzas is that Todd McLellan probably still has the ear of the locker room- after the first twenty minutes the Sharks have come out and put pucks into the back of the net (13 G, compared to 5 in the first and 7 in the third).
It's getting them to come out in the initial twenty that concerns me.
Drawbacks: Coming out softer than an inebriated geriatric leaving Spearmint Rhino.
Prediction: Sharks win 2-1. Goals by Boyle and Blake. Marian Gaborik tweaks his groin after high fiving Chris Drury, and exacerbates the injury following a casual glance up at the Jumbotron.
Go Sharks.

The Rangers have been playing extremely well so far this year, so it is really is up to the Sharks to come out and lay on a few goals early in the game. I don’t want this tilt turning out anything like the game against Washington.

A lack of preparation, familiarity with linemates, inability of the blueline to hit aggressive breakout passes on the tape of forwards above the circles, and reliance on the big scoring guns.
Don’t forget communication. Although that may fall under “familiarity with linemates,” it’s so annoying to watch everyone skate by the puck cuz they thought the other guy was gonna get it. And is it just me, or is their passing not crisp at all… forcing guys to stretch to reel in the puck, etc.?

Do you think most of the problems early in the season are because of new personnel?
It sure looks like guys are hesitating to pass the puck and aren’t anticipating plays, resulting in turnovers. I haven’t been following hockey long so I could be wrong. But man, they turned the puck over a ton in that first period against the Islanders.

Yes I do.
The Heatley trade shortened camp and erased one whole line of players that basically missed all of the scrimmages. Preseason turned into camp and all this with several new forwards and D … and new line combos. I font wanna make excuses but yeah I think it’s a major factor.

A slow start can be overcome against teams like the Islanders and the BJs. Against the Rangers, if we come out like we have in every game this season (save Anaheim), then were in for a long night…as the Rangers could very easily put us in a huge hole.
That said, fuck em all! The Sharks are god’s gift to Hockey and will totally play a full 60 minutes and dominate tonight! Right! Right???

Remember after the Sharks were eliminated? There was a whole lot of baseless optimism for the next week.
I found it was a lot better than being negative nancies and acting like the world was ending (even though there are more and more signs pointing to that conclusion every day, like Murray’s hat trick).

Same with my last name, actually. Stupid television shows messing up people’s preconceived notions about how to spell my last name.

’nother WTC Update
So far, no call-ups today so the lines this morning looked very much like those at Sunday’s practice:
Heatley-Thornton-Vesce
Clowe-Marleau-Setoguchi
Ortmeyer-Malhotra-Nichol
Shelley-Ferriero-Staubitz
Vesce on the first line!
His Ranger-loving family should LOVE this!

Can’t wait till Pavs come back. I bet Heater and Joe wouldn’t mind having Seto back on their line either.
I’ve never been a big fan of Vesce, but I do appreciate his effort. It’s not easy to get through to the NHL with his size.
Yeah, I’ve never been a big fan of Simon Birch either. As long as he’s just a bridge between Pavelski and Mitchell I’ll be okay with it.
The only way he sticks is if he gets top six minutes, and there’s no way that happens when the roster is healthy*.
*This is under the assumption Clowe eventually realizes how much the Sharks are paying him.

I think just like Michalek in Ottawa, Clowe will one day wake up and score a hat trick. Don’t know if it’ll happen today or in two months, but I wonder how long is it before McLellan starts demoting him. Perhaps it’s already happening since Clowe is no longer seeing any PP time. I remember those days last year when he was our most dangerous player on PP.. That’s a quick fall from grace.
The unfortunate thing is, that’s where he plays his best hockey. Half his goals last year were with the man advantage. I understand it goes against McLellan’s new mantra of, “You have to deserve your ice time,” but shit, he’s eating up a lot of cap room.
Demote him at even strength if he continues this crap, but leave him on the PP.
/twocents
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
Someone needs to get him away from the boards though. It’s hard to score when you’re staring at the fans through the glass.
Maybe Clowe is looking at the pretty ladies? If the Sharks filled the front two rows with shirtless dudes showing off massive hairy beer guts Clowe might be a 50 goal scorer.
It's nothing but crumpled porno and Ayn Rand.
As much as I love a girl in a Sharks sweater

I agree
We need his big body in front of the net. I don’t quite understand McLellan’s PP strategy. Looking at last game’s stats, I’m even more confused. Is there a reason why Marleau is out there for 2.5 minutes on the PP, while Heatley, possibly the most dangerous player in hockey on PP who is not named Ovechkin, is only there for 55 seconds – almost as little as Vesce and Malhotra. I mean, how much longer will it be before Heatley will feel his role is being “diminished?” And what did he do to get himself in the region of Malhotra’s PP time (who has yet to record a point as a Shark)?..
I just don’t get it. I hope it’s just a fluke.
SETO - Marleau
I like seto and marleau together. I bet cha’ butt a chip, that when Pavs gets back if Clowe isn’t scoring ge gets put on the third or fourth and well see, Marleau – Pavs – Seto….

The demon will refuse, and the sobbing angel will lie in a puddle of angel blood and feathers for eternity, wondering why the Dodgers are allowed to score runs. That’s not me talking; that’s science.

At the end of the day though, it’s a good way to evaluate trades.

Though
I think you should compare the point totals of the guys playing in similar spots on the team.
I don’t know where Cogliano and Smid are exactly on the depth chart, but is it similar to where say.. Marleau and Vlassic are?
I’m not saying a trade should be judged only by point output- far from it. If that were the case Ehrhoff to Vancouver would be looking like the worst deal in the world.
What I am saying is that completely ignoring goals and assists doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Take Michalek for example. We know his cap hit, we know that he is improving both offensively and defensively and can’t gauge his ceiling. What if he has better goal scoring years than Heatley the next four seasons? We can’t say, “In retrospect, that was a bad deal”?
I’m not implying that I think DW shouldn’t have made the move this offseason- it makes us a better team this year. Points are a long ways from the defining measure in a trade, but I don’t think that ignoring them completely makes much sense either.

Like Ang says
It’s not a real measure of how said player would have done on your team. At best it’s conjecture based on assumed performance. At worst in an excuse to bag all over a player/GM/or whine. Mostly whine.

Your Ryan Vesce fun fact of the day
Vesce is tied with Evgeni Malkin and a ton of other notables in the goal department.

Meh, sample size. But cool, nonetheless.

Er, wait a moment...
Wrong sample… 2 goals so far, yes? D’oh!

OT, but very interesting
Among rookies, Demers is first in assists with 7, and second in points also with 7. He’s tied for second in plus-minus with 5. I don’t expect that to hold up, especially because defensemen are currently leading all the scoring stats for rookies. But still, that’s extremely impressive for a guy that most didn’t even know about before this season.
Also, Greiss is fourth in rookie SV% (.889), second in GAA (2.22), and tied for third in wins (with zero, lol).

Very OT
But since Gray noticed the “Devon” Setoguchi typo from Versus, here’s an even more glaring typo from last night’s recap courtesy of nyrangers.com’s Jim Cerny:
After giving up six unanswered goals, the Rangers finally scored another one of their own with 2:48 remaining in the game. Enver Lisin completed a neat passing play from Avery and Matt Gilroy by blasting a left wing slap shot past Dmitri Nabokov for his second goal of the season.
Say WHAAAAAT???
CSNBA: Nabby was so good in goal against Minnesota, he could have saved everything but the Oakland Raiders’ season.
HAHAHAHA!

Well...
It’s a known fact that all russian’s have one of 3 names. Alexander, Dimitri or Nikolai. They were just hedging their bets.
Seriously, who’s ever heard of an Evgeni?
Well, besides the one we have, I think there’s one over in Pennsylvania somewhere. I heard he’s pretty good too. Won some sort of award.
