Brad Staubitz practiced on the backend on Friday. He's obviously not going to play defense tonight, but that's a good indicator of where the blueline's health is at right now.
Losing Vlasic to what I believe is a left knee injury puts quite the strain on the capabilities of San Jose. I would argue it's almost as detrimental as losing Dan Boyle, in that the Sharks are now without a premier shut-down defenseman. Boyle is obviously the best blueliner San Jose has on the roster, but if he returns before Vlasic (a likely possibility), McLellan is faced with a two-pronged decision-- a) match Boyle-Partner X up against the opposing team's top line, which will make Boyle's offensive capabilities less of a factor since he will be facing much tougher competition or b) throw out a combination of Murray, Blake, Huskins, Leach, Worcester Call Up against the aforementioned top line and hope for the best. No matter which way you cut it there isn't a premier stopper out there outside of Vlasic, and that's not an enticing possibility if this injury turns out to be anything serious.
As TCY mentioned earlier, I made a vow to inflict severe bodily hurt on anyone who mentioned trading Vlasic on Fear The Fin. Not because I don't enjoy debate, but because I think you're absolutely insane to even consider the possibility. He's 22 years old, signed for three more years at a $3.1 M cap hit, faces the toughest competition every single night, and is currently sixth in James Mirtle's Rod Langway Award watch. Just something to chew on whenever you get the trade deadline itch.
As for the rest of the blueline, Murray was hurt in the Hawks game as well, and as Evilducks pondered earlier, you have to wonder if he even would have finished the game had Vlasic not been out. He's a durable player (much like Vlasic, who's missed all but one game in his career) so I'm not overly worried about it, but it will be something to watch intently nonetheless. The hope is that he doesn't euphemistically describe an ailment to the coaching staff in order to keep his spot on Team Sweden, but that's just throwing a potential scenario out there-- pure speculation, and I'd have to watch at least three more games to see if it's even a possibility.
If Boyle and Vlasic don't play tonight, two Worcester defenseman will be called up. Safe money says it's Joslin and Demers, but I wouldn't mind seeing Mike Moore get some reps at the NHL level. He's had a great year thus far.
Finally, I understand your anger with the Chicago loss. Giving up three goals to start the first period isn't an inspiring performance by any means, and it's a slight concern that they came out so flat in such a highly publicized game. But take a step back for a moment and put the season into context. While I do think Chicago is the better team (damn near heresy in these parts), there's no reason to believe the Sharks can't beat them in a seven game series based off what I have seen in the four games these teams have played this season-- three of them have been competitive, and a bounce here or there can turn the tide of a series quicker than you can say Blues-Sharks 2000.
From some of the conversation I've heard, you'd think the Collectors came into HP Pavilion with the Seeker swarm, paralyzed the team, and walked off without a fight. Once again, I don't mind a debate and welcome anyone who wants to make this case. I just think you're jumping off the deep end before the pool has even been filled.
Prediction: Sharks win 3-1. Goals by Marleau, Blake, and Setoguchi. Less prediction, more observation-- congratulations to the Wild for rebounding from that awful start. I'm hoping Todd Richards can get them in the playoffs.
Go Sharks.

Nothing from Pollack yet, or Eric Lundquist from Worcester. I’ll update the comments and post when I hear anything.

Also, for anyone interested, I tried to work the lyrics from this song into the post for about five minutes before I gave up.
Hank Williams Jr. kicks ass. In fact, he kind of looks like SetoThorMarChooski now that I think about it.

Hiller signed an extension today.
Four years, 18 million. $4.5 M cap hit. Not a bad deal by any means, although I’m surprised they couldn’t work it down closer to four. The Ducks deal with an internal cap of roughly 50 M.
Hopefully they aren’t able to move Giggy. The ten million dollar tandem!

I saw this
and I started to seriously question Jiggy’s future with the Ducks.

They’ve been trying to move him for awhile now, but no takers. That contract is hard to stomach in the cap world, and with his sick son and NTC, the only place I’ve heard is Toronto. Makes sense with the Burke connection.
If he does get traded, the return will probably be about as minimal as it gets. I have a bag of pucks at my house if Barstool Bob wouldn’t mind making a swap. Giggy could hang out at my house for a year and a half, no problem.

For someone who has professed not to talk about politics on here, you sure do bring it up a lot.
I don’t think you have to be liberal or conservative to connect with Hank Williams Jr., or at least understand that the song is a nod to America’s working class, a class that has historically been taken advantage of. That seems more like a moral issue rather than a political one.

The fact of the matter is, not matter where you lie politically, we’re all human and we all want the same basic things. We just have different ways of getting there. A little respect would go a long damn way in this country when it comes to politics.
Divisive comments, on either side, annoy me to no end. Just drop the damn talking points, stop being stubborn and LISTEN! Everyone has something to say, but you won’t hear it if you just assume it’s not worth listening to from the get go. Disagree all you want, but LISTEN for once.
(I also love politics. Love love love love them despite hating them with a fierce passion)

Well, I wouldn’t want to listen to it because it’s not in my musical genre but there’s no difference between that song and going back to Ohio in terms of addressing the current problems facing the working class. (and I did listen to all of it and I thought it was quite good. Country you may win me over yet)
As someone who has had to have the “what do we do if you lose your job? We can’t keep the house…” conversation, I don’t think my political leanings affect at all how I feel about people losing houses/jobs/everything/etc. Such assumptions are rather off putting.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Mike Moore get some reps at the NHL level. He’s had a great year thus far.
When I visited Worcester, he was the best D-man that night for the Sharks. I’d love to see him get a chance up here.
I would only think of trading Vlasic for Drew Doughty. Both solid, responsible AND young defensemen. Doughty’s offensive game has taken off this season, whereas it doesn’t appear like it’s meant to be with Pickles in that area. In any case, it would never happen so I’m not afraid of Plank’s retribution.
Puck Daddy: You would definitely hate the Ducks more than you'd hate the Kings, right?
Joe Pavelski: Yeah, definitely.
Well, yeah, I would trade Vlasic for Doughty as well. But like you mentioned, that would never happen.
“Not trading Vlasic” is just in terms of what we would logically be able to do with that asset.

Man, hopefully the Sharks play well and get back on track tonight. I dunno what I’d do if the Sharks actually lost TWO IN A ROW… That’s like, the end of the world, yeah?

ah but they still have only lost 10 in regulation … only team so far that hasn’t moved from that 10 … :)

It’s generally a collection of Chicken Little fans who write about how the Sharks suck all the time.
Also, little to no research, generally.

I like his choice for our fourth line going into the playoffs
McGinn, Mitchell, and Mclaren
I would hate to play against this line and I think its far better than our current fourth line.

my youngest last night was saying that during his concert, his friends were showing some boys a “new” handshake … then saying “now imagine you are doing that on your own” … all I could do is just sigh and again wonder why I was cursed with boys … :)

From some of the conversation I’ve heard, you’d think the Collectors came into HP Pavilion with the Seeker swarm, paralyzed the team, and walked off without a fight.
If no one is going to give me props for this, I will. Good job Jason, loved the ME2 reference.

The Collectors?

Yeah I heard that was shit, something like an hour of gameplay for four bucks. I enjoyed that game so much I just might get it anyways…
Fear The Fin: Where Selling Your Soul Is The Likely Solution
Just a couple of more missions around Forli...
Which should have been in the original game, anyways. Missions are pretty simple, but one is somewhat annoying. Side “mission” is sort of a chance to free-fly around the city on Leonardo Da Vinci’s glider, with no objective and no acheivements. Might as well wait ’til next month for part two of this, as it leaves you hanging anyways.

love saturday games.
While I do think Chicago is the better team (damn near heresy in these parts), there’s no reason to believe the Sharks can’t beat them in a seven game series based off what I have seen in the four games these teams have played this season—
watching chi v carolina i am seeing a really fast dominant hawks team. very aggressive. not bad to lose to that team.

and didnt finish the thought.
but Chicago is beatable. stretching them out, making them over commit, very easy to do. and that will wear them down, especially applied over a few games after a few weeks of intense playoff hockey. we wont see them until the conf finals in all likely hood if at all, so fatigue has to be a factor.
2 quick goals by the canes and the Cawksare down by 2.

not that keeping the #1 spot is hugely important, but with a win tonight we would be first to 80 pts
GO SHARKS!
