Adam Raska needs a new stylist. That hair is horrid.
He is European, in 2 years everyone here will have the same haircut.

BTW, I was just looking through the barracuda apparel store, thinking about buying a jersey, and I'm wondering why the hell a Barracuda jersey costs 194 friggin bucks!?

Better than the $400+ I paid for HSK (authentic). AHL prices are higher than NHL. (Replica is $129)

Many, yes. (But only the "online" auctions. May be limited players.)
Blichfeld and Meloche back in the lineup, Weinger and Onyebuchi come out.
Cuda down 0-1 end of first period. This team looks shockingly bad 5 on 5. Was thinking maybe first game jitters against the Condors but given how many forwards have had games with the Sharks, I think they look awful. Leonard, Sasha, Gregor, Gambrell all invisible. Actually Gambrell had a D lapse that gave up that goal then shortly after took a bad penalty and put the Eagles on the PP. Only forward hitting anyone was Gallant.
A few positives: I think Kniazev was by far the best Cuda player on the ice. He was given PP and PK time in addition to his 5 on 5 duties. He looked really solid, without much help around him. Pushed play on O when he could and was defensively responsible. I really like his game. Second best Cuda player was R. Merkley, the talent is there and effort was pretty good. Someone mentioned after the Condors game that he needs more talent around him and I agree. Would be interesting to see him get a shot at some point with the Sharks this year. He QB’d and ran the PP in the first pretty much all by himself. So Kniazev and Merks both look good, the best and second best Cuda players on the ice.
I don’t know if it’s a scheme thing or what, but the forwards cannot seem to hold position in the O zone. I guess I expected better based on the caliber of forwards “on paper”.

Wow - back to back goals. Nick Merkley from a bizarre angle with like literally no space. Then my adopt a rookie Cicek with a slapper from the point. Two quick goals in like a minute.

Hatakka really needs to be in the AHL if he isn't getting NHL games.
Totally agree - I had him with three significant screw ups in the first 8 min and you are right, that pinch was horrendous and led directly to a breakaway. Yikes
Hobo how would you explain this? I think the Cuda play way worse than the sum of their parts. Like I see spurts of good individual effort but I think their play as a team is poor.
Right now I feel like their breakout needs some tweaking against this team. They keep trying to stretch it through the middle and Colorado's in the neutral zone sitting on it.
I can get on board with that. I just expected the forwards to be much better than what they are showing. Yuck

Weird that they're going for stretch passes. Seems like the big club has been going with short passes through the neutral zone this season
4-3 Eagles second intermission. Feels like it should be 7-3. Cuda incredibly unimpressive. R. Merkley had a really poor period.
It's not always stretch passes, but the pucks are just not getting into our zone. They are trying some of the short passes as well but Colorado is just gumming up the neutral zone. I'd kinda like to just see them go with more dump and chase at this point.
I like what we're doing once set up in the offensive zone, but we are doing a very poor job of getting there in the first place.
Merkley makes up for earlier with this one:
