Sharks win again.
9 of last 10.
16th in NHL
And in a playoff spot.

Keep the excuses coming.
First of all this is not unexpected. I stated in early November when they were 2-2 for the month, that this was their easiest month and they would need to gather at least 15 points in their remaining 11 games or else they may stay in the bottom third of the league. Congrats to the Sharks they have 14 points from 8 games so they are looking good to exceed that with 3 games left. Having said that they will have to get back to an NHL schedule as December rolls around and I will stick to what I said at the beginning of November - 10th in Conference and 6th in Division. I will say LV and Cal are far worse than I expected but Anaheim is doing better than I thought. I read back through a bunch of your posts and I understand that you feel I am attacking Erik Karlsson by stating my opinion on the Sharks overall roster, so in order not to further upset you I will say San Jose looks like they should come out of the west and its because Erik Karlsson is awesome.

Wait, why is Bowman's name being paraded around with these other two?

Wait, are you kidding?

He might have been the worst ever in terms of psychological warfare with his own players.

If Babcock had won the Cup with the Leafs, no one would be talking about his little list trick with Mitch Marner.

If anything, had Marner performed in the post-season enroute to that victory, they'd be calling him a motivational genius.

Lol, for some reason I thought you were referring to Stan Bowman.

Clearly I need a lunch-hour coffee, haha. Never mind, carry on. :laugh:

Peters needs to GTFO now. Wonder if more former players come out against their coaches now?

Ugh. Media are going to give Babcock credit for being the catalyst for a player #MeToo movement.

By the way Peters needs to be canned now.

I just read Aliu's statements on TSN. I'm sure Peters is going to say that he was referencing the profanity and the n word used in the music that he was sick of hearing. Looks to be complaints about the music, wondering how this will play out when the Prime Minister got away with an apology. Will Peters get away with apologizing?

Can't believe we're going to robbed of hearing Don Cherry's comments on the Bill Peters debacle. Coach's Corner would have been must-see-tv this Saturday.
