Battle of CaliforniaAnaheim Calling |
There is a difference between preparation and execution. Sometimes it is hard to see, sometimes it is easy to see, and sometimes the difference doesn't exist at all.
Against the Blues, the issue was primarily execution. You have an entire first period of pucks bouncing off skates, turnovers being handed away like it was Red Cross Night at HP Pavilion, and lackluster work in the corners during battles for 50-50 pucks. By no means was the preparation perfect, but by and large players were where they needed to be-- they understand the system, they know their role within that system, and they got to those areas of the ice where they are able to help out their teammates.
But when execution is off, it can spread like wildfire. Take for example the first two and a half minutes of the game. In order, you have the following plays occur-- a bad dump that leads to a St. Louis breakout, a bad clear from the Sharks end, a bad breakout, a good breakout that leads to an offsides, a good breakout that leads to a dump in with no forecheck and an uncontested breakout for the Blues, an upcoming power play that gets negated when the Sharks jump in to scuffle with Jackman after a hit, a turnover at the offensive zone blueline, an offsides, and then the turnover by Demers that ends up in the back of the net.
Execution, execution, execution. It set the tone for that entire period, and San Jose didn't get their legs back until a late power play.
These are the kinds of issues that are either a) the product of a bad team lacking skill or b) the product of a good team who has struggled to put all of the pieces together in the early season. It's clearly not the former. No matter how much you grind out diagrams and preach the system during practice, it's up to the players to execute that gameplan when they hit the ice. Sometimes, that takes time. Most of the time, it's just a product of random variance in performance output.
Whether or not the lack of execution disappears rapidly or lethargically is something that will be born out by time; ultimately, the Sharks are going to be fine. But it's the short term we concern ourselves with, so it's the short term we cover today.
Over the course of the last three seasons the Sharks have struggled with teams who are quick-- San Jose likes to play a slower paced game that meshes with their skill set, but when they get away from working hard along the boards and cycling the puck down low, it can get ugly quickly. Anaheim's bottom six forward group gave the Sharks defenseman a lot of trouble on Friday night with their ability to generate speed in the neutral zone and hound the puck carrier as soon as he picked up the puck. This all starts in the offensive zone for the Sharks, and it's where they've really struggled in their last two games.
The top line was a cycle machine against Phoenix and has three out of the four best Sharks along the boards in Pavelski, Thornton, and Marleau. The second line has an immovable object in Ryane Clowe and a heady player in Couture, the third line possesses the industrious Michal Handzus, and the fourth line has a pair of grinders in Desjardins and Murray as well. This team was built to pummel teams down with their size, wear out defensman with a relentless grind, and then capitalize with their skill at the end of a long shift for the opposing team. It's how they are going to win hockey games on a nightly basis.
In other words, it all starts with a strong cycle and a forecheck that, even if it doesn't result in puck possession, forces those opposing wingers to circle around and help support their defenseman instead of just taking off up the ice. It's such a cliche, but really getting back to basics here against Anaheim is a) not only going to play into what this team is built to do, but b) is going to make it easier for all the new players in the system to succeed because a little bit of chip and chase is something that they've been doing all of their careers.
Anaheim's top line of Getzlaf, Perry, and Ryan is hard to gameplan for-- last change goes to San Jose, so it makes sense to go power versus power. Throw out the best defensive (and offensive) forward line in Marleau, Thornton, and Pavelski against the big guns, and have Boyle-Murray take the majority of that ice time on the backend as well. If you can hold them to a goal you've pretty much done your job for the night.
After that, it's get pucks deep and take advantage of the Ducks thin forward depth. Hiller is always a magician in net, but he played last night in the Ducks 4-2 win over the Blues and could possibly have a night off-- if that is the case, Dan Ellis gets the call.
Expect Niemi to make his season debut in net for the Sharks.
Prediction: Sharks win 4-2. Goals by McGinn, Clowe, Marleau, and Vlasic.

Pre-season
Means zippo. A false sense of security seems to have made it’s way into the Sharks collective psyche. But in seriousness, it will be nice to see this team with Havlat and Niemi before we all start jumping off the ship.
I kept noticing one shot and done, with little control in the offensive zone.
I do think scoring will be an issue all year, so it will help if we don’t give up too many 3rd period leads. People forget how tough the West is and so the Sharks need to concentrate on the fundamentals and basics to get them a win most nights.
I think tonight’s game will tell us a lot about where this team is right now. Also, I was a bit surprised that Benn Ferriero wasn’t in the line-up to replace Havlat. I think we could have used his offensive talent on the second line the last couple of games.
Nice write up Mr. Plank!
How
Could you think scoring will be an issue? This team is more stacked than Nigella Lawson.
I also believe some time needs to pass before all the guys really meld, and learn their roles, and really start playing well off each other. Hopefully they make is quick.

Ferriero is in the AHL right now. They sat out Wingels. Scoring won’t be an issue at all. The biggest thing in the last two games i would say is just the unfortunate luck of the schedule. to start the season, have an overall positive game with plenty to build off of and then sit for 6 days before your next game to then play teams who have played 1-3 more games than you already is rough. Anaheim was a very clogged game both ways, but St. Louis already has gelled and a flow going and we just did not look there yet against them. Have a feeling tonight will be a different story. Friday in Anaheim was a game that we should have won and Saturday is a game we could have won but didn’t.

Top line needs to chip in at least one even strength goal.
In the last 2 games, they didn’t get any goals at all. Hopefully Marleau is feeling better after his spat with the flu. Regardless, should be an interesting game. Go Sharks!

Any news on Martin Havlat?
I’m really excited to see this guy on our time, and I’m getting really impatient about what’s holding him back…

My guess is October is rough for the Sharks.
I agree with Plank re: the Sharks eventually being fine; the ability to play a solid, even stellar game is clearly there, but chemistry is not established yet, leading to some bad habits and this October is a rough month for them to try to put it together. We have back-to-backs practically every weekend, generally with at least one tough team in the mix (Detroit followed by the Islanders? Really, NHL?) and the number of days between games flops around a lot in odd ways, all of which can slam the team’s ability to get into a groove and work on meshing.
Obviously, I want our boys to have a perfect road trip and come home with a huge points lead (while I’m wishing, I want us to get in the TARDIS we secretly got in the Heatley trade and go back and win the games against the Ducks and Blues this weekend), but I fully expect to come out of Halloween with a losing record and cries the sky is falling and then start putting it together during the relatively saner November schedule.

Honestly
Only three games into the year, of course, but at any rate this team has never really given any indication that it has improved from last year’s brand of expired hope. Also, seriously, what kind of trade was this to get Havlat, is he ever going to be fit enough to play? And if/when he does finally become healthy enough to skate again, how long of a stretch is that going to be? Given his fragile history his skill is equally matched by his propensity to injury – kind of negates his usefulness or what? Say what you want about Heatley, at least he can suit up and play! Finally, if the Sharks continue on a similar path… yada yada yada… you know, that fast start they so desperately needed? Yeah, anyway…
We have been swimming these wintry depths for years, succeeding at survival by feeding only upon perennial minnows of sustenance... will we ever get to sink our great white teeth into this so-called Stanely's feast, so that we may finally slay our insatiable hunger in frenzied celebration?
Havlat is playing on Friday. The season is three games old.
Let’s see how the team plays tonight, and on the upcoming road trip, before circling the wagons and taking a field trip to the nearest cliff.

Havlat was known to be injured when we traded for him; the trade was partially about shedding salary and partially about making up for Setoguchi’s speed. Every trade is a gamble—Havlat gets called injury-prone but I feel like that’s as much narrative as truth. We’ll see him on Friday and I hope we like what we see.
by Salmon of Wisdom on Oct 17, 2011 12:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Stats don't lie.
“Injury prone” is over-hyped. Here are his stats over the last three years, note that the 2008-09 stats are with the Blackhawks:
2008-09:
81 games played, 29-48-77
(Playoffs: 16 games, 5-10-15
2009–10
73 games played, 18-36-54
2010–11
78 games played, 22-40-62
Dude has missed 14 games in three years, put up an average of 64pts per season in those years, and did so on a crum-bum team like the Wild. Put that guy on the second line, watch the stats chug-chug along.
Anybody expect to see some fights tonight?

I’m not freaking out until it’s 2012, all the new guys are already used to the system, and we’re still in this position.
So, last year redux?
I’m of two minds. On one hand, we need to establish that we’re an elite team now, and tweak things as the season goes along as teams adapt to our system. The more points we stockpile now, the more margin we have later in the year to prepare for the playoffs.
On the other, it’s not how we start the season, but how we finish it.

@shampeon
(I’m repeating myself a little, my apologies.)
I mostly agree here. I feel like the problem is partially the kinks I’d expect us to be working out at this point (and yes, I expected some bad habits to be on display in the first 10 games, nothing gets you up to game speed like game speed and until then it’s easy to herp-derp it up a little as you just do what feels easy), and partially that our schedule seems to have been put together the same day the blue meth was passed around the NHL offices. If we had drubbed the Yotes 6-3 and then played the Ducks on Monday the 10th instead of waiting until freaking FRIDAY for more actual game time we might’ve pulled off a win, or at least lost in OT after tying it 1-1 or something. As it stands we got a stupid-big win, then had 5 days off, and we rusted a little, and then got discouraged and tired and what rust was still left was even more obvious against the Blues. I’m hoping we put it together more tonight, or on the road, or something soon, but as I said above, I think October will bruise us a little from the terrible schedule while the team is still gelling, and I’ll just be glad to get out of it with a few wins.

Hey PNK
OT but I saw on twitter in a response to Brodie Brazil that you said you were going to the Bruins/Sharks game and that you know your way around the city. I’m going to be there too because I’m looking at colleges and my parents are taking me to the game too, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on where to eat and such.

Reset Button
Okay, time to hit the rest button and put the Sharks back into the righ direct. I don’t accept any of the excuses as that is what they are. What I will expect is results, this team is built to deliver them and I expect them too. Now, with that said, I hope we see the Team get back to working their system at their pace. The Sharks have shown that they can execute and maintain a good pace. If the Sharks can return to the form they displayed last week against the Desert Dogs. They should resemble the Team that was built to deliver results built by DW.
My prediction: Sharks win 3 to 0. Goals by Lil’Big Joe, Juicy Couture and McGinn. Nemo with a shutout to start his season off right.
Lets go Sharks!

Does anyone here know how to use Visual Basic?
I’m trying to make it so that if a certain colour is present in the background of a certain textbox, a certain integer is inserted into an equation, which is displayed in a different textbox.
But I have no idea how to do that.

Actually yeah,
You’re gonna wanna start with this opening line of code:
Declare Function RegCreateKeyEx& Lib “advapi32.dll” Alias “RegCreateKeyExA” (ByVal hKey&, ByVal lpSubKey$, ByVal Reserved&, ByVal lpClass$, ByVal dwOptions&, ByVal samDesired&, lpSecurityAttributes As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, phkResult&, lpdwDisposition&) and then shove it up your butt!

Grand.
I think I actually have it though. I just have to make if statements.
If txtBand1.BackColor = Black
then CInt x = 0
And then insert the x into another equation…
m = x(10)
Then into another equation…
(m+n)o = p
Except I don’t know how to do the first step or the last step. EVERYONE CARES! :D
