GDT: Game 1: Sharks vs. Blues 7:30pm ESPN+/Hulu. It begins!

[Shark Finn]

Celebrini skates by teh bench now and tells Warsofsky "I've played my last game as a San Jose Shark"

Will Smith follows with "Same."

 

[ChompChomp]

Welp, at least the Sharks got a point. Lol

 

[Timo Time]

There's the Sharks we all remember lmao

 

[karltonian]

oh well moral victory, 1 point given up toward 1OA

 

[Tw1ster]

Tough loss, Blackwood kept us in it early but failed us late. Too bad

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

See everyone next season

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Can the Golden Seals I mean Shakrs bring back Gilles Meloche

 

[canuckslover10]

Damn Canucks and sharks gave up 4-1 leads.

 

[WTFetus]

Draymond is bad luck.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

At least the Sharks got a point

 

[Timo Time]

2-140-0 is absolutely hilarious

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

Welp, at least the Sharks got a point. Lol

To be renamed from "loser point" to "Sharks point"

 

[TheBeard]

Blackwood had an incredible first, but man he looked awful the rest of the way. Disappointed in him.

 

[Brent Burns]

Blues didn't even play very well imo

 

[Chinaski89]

I really like Blackwood, I hope this doesn't kill his confidence

I was thrilled to see the Blues at nearly 30 shots and one goal… really want Blackwood to play well and get shipped to a contender at the trade deadline. He had many games last year ending up on the losing end with a ridiculously good save percentage.

 

[Bizz]

This game doesn't even get to OT if Benning wasn't a damn liability.

You know he's that bad when I hope Vlasic comes back soon and he's back in the press box where he belongs.

 

[The Nemesis]

According to the studio guy that goal was scored by Luke Schenn.

Sharks tank so hard they got scored on by a guy who's in a completely different city.

SNOG announcement​

And with that last goal, we open the season without a SNOG.

As a reminder, please review the full rule set on the SNOG General Discussion thread. I noticed some SNOGs without goalscorers predicted for the opposing team when they had nonzero scores.

If it helps in Auston Matthews debut they lost 5-4 as well and they both had multi point games, and the leafs made the playoffs that season so you never know.

 

[TheBeard]

Also, it seems the Sharks weren't actually using their bodies to clog up any lanes. A lot of lazy stick attempts to dislodge the puck carriers.

 

[NWSharkie]

I feel gross thinking that having Vlasic healthy would've really helped our defense

 

[fasterthanlight]

Our D has some questionable nhlers indeed

 

[Sharksfan66]

Golly. Such a fun start to the game. Such a frustrating last 10 minutes.

I sure hope Warsofsky learned his lesson about benching skill players like Smith and Goose in favor of the Goodrows & Kunins of the world. Lousy strategy to sit back and pray the lead holds.

 

[pspete]

Must be taking coaching tips from Kyle Shanahan

Must do it in a big game to be like Kyle Shanahan

If it helps in Auston Matthews debut they lost 5-4 as well and they both had multi point games, and the leafs made the playoffs that season so you never know.

that would be terrible
