You probably won’t find too many supporters of that second part on here. You know, due to geographical ties.

Fair enough. But if/when the Niners lose you might not want to gloat about it on here, is all I’m saying.

How'd the Saints thing work out for you?
On topic, I like the way Greiss is playing. Hope they keep him and trade Nitty.

Yeah, I noticed this.
When I was a kid, Canadian Tire used to have mostly right blades, and I was a natural left shot… Went to one last week to pick up some things, and I went to play with the sticks, but they were mostly left!

We need 12 centers on the ice everynight.
With TMac’s system, a winger is just a forward that loses face-offs.

Actually, we suck at 4v4.
How about we just let them keep the player on the ice. Maybe make him promise to play without his stick or something.

I hate how popular football is.
Every baseball and hockey blog always has a “football open thread” going on but I guarantee that there won’t be a “hockey open thread” on Niners Nation if the Sharks make the playoffs.
MCC, the Giants blog usually has a decent amount of Sharks banter. But they don’t create a separate thread for it

Not really
Nitty comes off the books after this year anyway, and we’re not really hurting for cap savings right now. Nitty’s bad contract is probably the #1 reason a team WON’T want him, add on to that he’s coming off injury (again) and hasn’t played in months.
Greiss has a much better contract, is younger, and is playing well lately, So you’re actually going to get a legit pick/player in return for him.
I say trade Greiss, let Nitty roll as backup fpr the rest of this year (which will be a chance for him to showcase for teams next year) and then bring up Sateri/Sexsmith/Stalock as backups next year.
see if you can get Columbus to agree? I'm watching the Sharks, the playoff game and listening to another hockey game
all at once.
If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
It wouldn't be very interesting,
but I’d be okay with it.

Oh that sucks
Really, this is what bothers me more than the special teams.
Special teams are “fixable”. I’d just rather have some solid offensive output… and consistently. Aside from the great goaltending, Boston is scary because you feel like they’re going to score a shit ton on you.
If the Sharks offense can get going (like it usually does), this team becomes very difficult to beat.

I thought he was saying “OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN AMERICA” which would actually be pretty clever for Pavelski goals…

If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
The Sharks are generally pretty good about getting up for big opponents

Good win

yay!
A win is a win. They don’t ask how, just how many. :]
Meh. We only ever beat the Red Wings by one goal in the playoffs, too.
We just happen to do it four times a season.

A 1-goal win is still a win.
And that’s all that matters, isn’t it?

As a CBJ fan, that is absolutely hilarious. I regret that I have but one rec for this image.
CCT, CBJ, SU, NYM, Bills Fan. It can be depressing.
Sometimes I tweet things
Like Randy & Drew early last year
during the Sharks 6-game losing streak, when they said “let’s announce this mother” (or something like that)

Nabby got win # 300 today against the Sabres. I’m happy for him.

NHL and TSN
report his SV% as .908, not including the game today, which he had .92. I suck at math so I’ll let someone else calculate that.
