Gameday Thread: Sharks @ Wild

San Jose Sharks at Minnesota Wild, Jan 10, 2012 4:30 PM PST

Sharks face off against the struggling Wild
FTF Podcast: The Podcast Strikes Back

Complete Coverage >


Antti Niemi will be in net tonight for the San Jose Sharks while Josh Harding gets the go for the Minnesota Wild. As we mentioned in our game preview, both Backstrom and Harding have struggled over the last month to the tune of a combined .909 SV%. With the Sharks currently on a 8-1-1 roll in their last ten games it sets up what seems to be a fortuitous situation for the good guys at face value.

Having said that, we've seen the Sharks serve the slump buster role for opposing goaltenders too many times to be completely confident in this one. San Jose will have their scoring chances tonight against the worst team in the League at giving up shots (31.9 shots against per game). It's just a matter of converting on those chances by executing in the neutral zone and carrying the puck into the zone to generate chances. The Wild have received a lot of goals this season by forcing teams into being over aggressive, so taking care of the turnover differential is going to be another key.

In other news, Devin Setoguchi returned to the lineup last week after missing almost all of December with a knee injury. He's seen time on the top line with Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley since returning-- look for Todd McLellan to go power vs. power as he is wont to do, with the Thornton line and Boyle-Vlasic pairing seeing the majority of their ice time against Minnesota's top line unless Wild Head Coach Mike Yeo can get creative with his line changes.

Some more tidbits and morsels to feed your hungry hearts before this one gets underway early in the day:

  • David Pollak of Working The Corners tells the story of how four members of the San Jose Sharks visited Jack Jablonski as soon as they checked into their hotel last night. Great stuff to see from the hockey community at large.
  • Pierre Marc-Bouchard is out with a concussion after being elbowed in a game against Vancouver last week. The centerman has had issues with concussions in his career, but this one is being reported as less severe compared to his previous injuries.
  • Kevin Kurz breaks down to what to watch for tonight-- the beginning of a long road trip, the fatigue of playing a lot of games in a short stretch, and an unchanged lineup are the highlights.

Puck drops at 4:37 PM on the NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus).

Here's one of my idiot questions.

So often I see teams (not just the Sharks) make no attempt to control the puck in the neutral zone. They get possession, and then just clear. I know sometimes they’re changing lines, sometimes it’s on a PP, but not always. Sometimes they dink it into the corner and pray they’ll beat the defense to the puck. Why do they do this?

Just play a Brandon or two, come on!

by Tortured on Jan 10, 2012 5:55 PM PST reply actions  

dump and chase

A lot of times, the defense will stand the offense up at the blue line, trying to cause the turnover there. By dumping, the defense is forced to skate back deep in their zone to turn it back up.

Not only is there no guarantee the defense will sucessfully get it out, but it also wears downt he defenders stamina through the game. Less stamina= prone to mistakes and turnovers.

I like my goals like I like my booze..... Top shelf.

by GhostOfLinkGaetz on Jan 10, 2012 5:59 PM PST up reply actions  

But

the offense has to chase it down, too, because if they get it, they can score.

Just play a Brandon or two, come on!

by Tortured on Jan 10, 2012 6:02 PM PST up reply actions  

Exactly.

Problem is, if they carry it in ( you’ll see it more on the PP), they have to remain onside. With everyone racing down, all one defender has to do is stall the puck carrier long enough to draw the offensive team offside, By dumping, you gain the zone effectively so your fellow forwards don’t have to worry about slowing down going in to the zone.

Conversely, the defenders have to turn around, try and retrieve the puck, then pray someone’s back to help them break back out. By disrupting this, you establish a forecheck. The most successful forechecks are the ones where you out-man the defenders in their zone. If they got 2 D in the corner, send 3.

Once posession is gained, more often then not the forwards will cycle the puck, passing it between each other like a game of keepaway from the defense. It also wears the D down, but it also doesnt waste opportunities.

I like my goals like I like my booze..... Top shelf.

by GhostOfLinkGaetz on Jan 10, 2012 6:21 PM PST up reply actions  

You know what, this is what makes me miss the old icing rules. No one needs to learn to pass and control the puck anymore, they just clear, then pound the boards to try to get possession. No finesse, no elegance, and probably more concussions.

Just play a Brandon or two, come on!

by Tortured on Jan 10, 2012 6:27 PM PST up reply actions  

Icing rules were never the reason for dumping and chasing, and they really haven't changed.

Matter of fact, they took out the two-line pass rule to ‘open the ice’ and to speed things up.

What fucked everything up was the neutral zone trap, perfected in the mid-late 90’s by the New Jersey Devils. It worked so well for the Devils, they ended up winning a Stanley Cup or two. Nowadays, as the game has adapted, so has the trap. With the way the new rules have opened the rink up, it’s harder to set up a trap in transition.

Every NHL player knows to take the body. No silly dekes will get you through a blueline without getting dropped. If your D is changing while that happens, breakaways galore.

True

But the replay shows a very clear upper body shove from Desjardins. This is not accidental contact. Desi clearly shoves him. He could wrap him up and take him into the boards. Much safer play.

The refs have generally let that go in my memory

Again, the problem is that Stoner

pulled up early, and didnt leave Desi any time to react. While it would have been nice if Desi had been able to realize Stoner was going to stop early and act accordingly, he just didnt have the time to do so.

He can still hit him

Doctionary definition of such crap:

noun; this.

Way to use confirmation bias in the worst possible way. I mean seriously, we’re 5-2 in shootouts, I don’t think you could have picked a worse example.

It’s not actually an example. But in this one particular case, the shootout actually summed up a huge footnote of the game: Niemi not making saves. Hence the word “analogous” I used earlier.
