I would be remiss not to touch upon the travesty that was St. Louis-- the fact that a shorthanded goal was given up with six seconds remaining has probably been beaten to death in the game thread, but the truth is I didn't even bother to browse being in a pretty foul mood and all. My biggest issue during the last two minutes wasn't even the shorty, but the fact that the Sharks gave up a two on one roughly forty seconds beforehand. It was a great outlet pass sure, and you have to give credit to the Blues for busting their ass all game, but San Jose has to be aware the forwards are going to be creeping into the neutral zone well before they would usually. After that gets defused with an excellent save by Nabokov, the play heads the other way. And who gets off for a line change as the puck gets dumped into the offensive zone? Two players, Dan Boyle and Rob Blake. Joe Thornton gets a pass here as he was the requisite forechecker on the play (along with beating out the icing call), but Heatley and Marleau need to make a quick change so they don't get caught with tired legs in the defensive zone. Whether it was an honest mistake, competitive instinct, or a case of seeing that empty net opportunity to pad the stats a bit doesn't matter. That shift change needs to get done.
And now we move on.
Games against Calgary might be my favorite on the docket to watch. There's a good playoff rivalry, both teams have ties with the Sutter's, the personnel (in Calgary primarily) usually has it's fair share of common blood, and they've both been consistent regular season performers since the lockout with nothing to show for it when all the cards are on the table. San Jose hasn't made it out of the second round since these two teams squared up in 03-04-- the Flames haven't managed to break past the first.
That being said, the teams are built a little differently. Staying true to the family name, Darryl Sutter has built a tough squad with an exceptional blueline, while San Jose has a more skilled squad that's not going to throw around their weight as much. What's been surprising thus far is that Brent Sutter has managed to get his team to put the puck in the net (6th in the NHL), an element of their game that was supposed to be a concern; concurrently, San Jose has managed to keep the puck out of the net (8th in the NHL), an element of their game that was also supposed to be a concern going into the year. Standing by my original thoughts, I'm still not completely sold on the long term success of the defensive core, but it's still an interesting dichatomy between the two clubs.
The backend on Calgary is stacked (baby baybay)-- you have the well known Jay Bouwmeester and Robyn Regehr, premier shutdown defensemen who will likely see the lion's share of defensive zone draws against the HTML line*. Beyond that you get into the skilled yet overrated Dion Phaneuf, as well as the lesser known Cory Sarich (who probably won't fly under the radar tonight considering his brutally clean hit on Patrick Marleau two years ago). There's a lot of talent on that backend, and if San Jose is to bounce back from Thursday, it's going to be through a tireless cycle and a willingness to retrieve pucks off dump ins. That far-side winger is going to need to hit the blueline with speed in order for this to work.
*H/T to my buddy Kit Perkins for the nickname idea-- it's infinitely superior to the brutally uninteresting "Hamburger Line." No idea how that's catching on.
Vesce and Joslin were sent down yesterday. Hopefully Demers is getting the call up or Joslin is victim of another salary cap related move. Both know the system and have played and practiced with the team. Starting Jay Leach against the Flames a whole four days after claiming him off waivers would be a big time head scratcher.
In other news, Randy Hahn will be calling his 1,000th NHL game tonight so give him a warm welcome from the comfort of your couch. Also, be sure not to bring any Honeycomb cereal into The Tank if you're going to the game tonight. Little known fact: Olli Jokinen has a hat trick every time that stuff is in the building.
Prediction: Sharks win 3-2. Goals by Vlasic, McGinn, and Ortmeyer. Honeycomb crisis averted.
Go Sharks.

Brad Staubitz
When Staubitz gets back give him ten minutes a night and I think shark fans will be pleasantly surprised. I watched him in junior and he can fill more of a roll on a hockey team than the enforcer gig. He can play a bit.I see superstars on other teams getting pushed around which wouldn’t happen if Staubitz was around. I’m guessing if he was exposed to waivers in the near future he might not be a shark for long.
I don't care how they do it.
Just f’in win. Puhleeze.

I disagree

And FYI, to say the “HTML line” is redundant because HTML stands for the Heatley Thornton Marleau Line. Basically you’re saying the Heatley Thornton Marleau Line line.
Anyway, Go Sharks!

I went to bed with about 10 left in the third the other night, with the 2-1 lead. Figured we had it in the bag because we were playing well. Woke up the next morning and checked the score only to feel like banging my head against the wall. Four shorties in three home games? Seriously, we’ve been giving up more goals on the PP than we’ve been scoring recently.
Here’s to a better effort late tonight. Go Sharks
Yeah, its best not to go to sleep when the game is still being played! Now we all know who to blame! :-P

I was able to do that for the ottawa game. Wish I could still DVR their games, man I loved being able to do that.

Based on typical WTC comments
NJ won’t win the cup, they have no heart, can’t finish a game, no grit, weak goal tending that can’t get it done. etc. etc.
Sorry, happens every time we give up a lead.
Actually, nevermind. Didn’t get that it was 7-0, thought it was still 6-0.
But still, the Flyers had a 9 minute PK. The only PK I could think of that’s worse is the 10 minute PK that Worcester had during the playoffs last year.

I get to. Cherry has been harping on players not protecting the back of their legs and was showing Jumbo taping his skate (like he mentioned earlier in the night). Apparently he approves.
I find him annoying … especially after the Oilers game when he said “I was rooting for Edmonton” … and I could do was yell at the tv “fuck you!” … he just gets more and more annoying to me

We’re used to having Marleau and Pavelski on the PK, but Joe is a new development. As is Heatley.
I think it might be from the 10 simultaneously injured players we had last season, when the entire PK was wiped out.

McLellan puts him out at the end of the PK so they can go right back and attack once they’re at even strength, or even get a shorty (which has happened already this year).
But yeah, I was surprised too when I first saw him.

I know, just in wake of the game today I couldn’t help but point that out.
"And next year it will be ours."
PK was real solid. I wasn’t watching with as much of a detailed eye though because I was reveling.

Yeah, a 9 minute PP? That’s crazy. The only one longer I’ve seen was a 10 minute PK the Worcester Sharks had to kill in the Calder Cup playoffs. They actually killed the whole thing and managed to get a shorty, but they were also trailing 5-1 or something at the time, so the other team wasn’t exactly trying.

Ummm
I think the only time this game will have no one in the penalty boxes is the first 8 seconds.

Yup
Traded him for the pick that became Vlasic, since we had Nabby and Toskala in the ranks at the time. Worked out pretty well for both teams, IMO.

Definitely, and you got rid of Toskala for something that is better than Toskala.

Toskala was actually good at the time. People were actually wanting Nabokov to leave instead.
Which I think is a great problem to have.

Yeah he was good, but in hindsight Nabokov was the guy to keep. Sold Toskala high.
