GDT: Game 10: Sharks @ Utah 6:00pm NBCSCA

He's really great at mishandling passes

you mean he's great at working hard to get to the puck

Gushchin buys himself another game with this one tonight. Looks engaged and has made a lot of defensive plays as well. I’m going to call him a bum pregame every game now

 

[Jargon]

More goals than Gushchin

It’s such a weird thing to pick out Gushchin on this clusterf*** of a team, but okay. Kunin is so so good I guess.

 

[karltonian]

I'm just... I'm sorry man. I'm out of memes to express my sheer disappointment and sadness. This isn't fun. I just wanna watch Mack and Smith play but things have been off the rails for so long.

yup this f***ing sucks. literally any collection of NHL players randomly put together should be able to luck into 1 win out of 10 games.

Yeah it’s brutal. The lack of Celebrini is such a bummer. That first game, despite the loss, was so fun and since then it’s like the life has been entirely sucked out of the team. I expect when he gets back and we get Muhk and they get like ONE WIN that things will feel a little better but right now it feels like we will truly never win again.

It's clearly not a good-faith argument anymore. It's basically a bit.

 

[Anomie2029]

He literally is. Name 9 players doing better than him.

So by choosing nine, your threshold for “one of our best players” is half the lineup?

They should not be praising anyone on this team outside of 4 players - Eklund, Granlund, Toffoli, Zetterlund.

Luke is tied with 14 others for 5th best.

don't misquote me

You just hope it would at least be a funny bit. We need to laugh so we don’t cry.

 

[Anomie2029]

“He is one of our better players”
“Name 9 players better than him”

It’s f***ing ridiculous and you know it.

 

[Jargon]

Can they give us the number 1 pick now and we just sit out the rest of the season?

thank you for correcting yourself. what's ridiculous? that kunin is in the top half of players on the team right now? that is ridiculous, but the statement is objectively true.

Not all year, just until Celebrini is healthy enough to play in March.

 

[Hodge]

It's not a bit. Kunin is one of the few Sharks who brings it every game. Hopefully we can extend him.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

I am so tired of Kostin though. 3rd goal was entirely him flubbing it and passing it to no one.

wait kostin is playing in this game?

On the bright side, I'm not sure he makes it to Halloween anymore.

he's done the same exact thing in every game he's played in so far.

 

[TheBeard]

Interesting fact, last year our first ten opponents all made the playoffs. This year so far only five made em while the other 5 placed in the bottom 6.

 

[Anomie2029]

Usually people wouldn’t say half the team is one of the “better players”.

If you honestly don’t think it’s ridiculously highlighting “how good Luke Kunin is”, then there’s no point discussing anything hockey related.

He tries hard every game, sure, but you need to be able to actually turn that will into results.

He never did before. Why start now?

The bit was you randomly picking on Gushchin.

As far as Kunin — I think the reason Kunin drives people crazy is that he’s actually really good at being in the right place in the offensive zone but seems to just be completely unable to finish. Also, the amount of time the Sharks people talk about what an amazing leader he is gets very annoying. I think he’s fine and he’d be a great 4th liner that can fill in if someone goes down but ultimately I find even arguing about him inconsequential because our problems are far bigger than Kunin.

 

[Pavelski2112]

It's the same thing as Ferraro. I never question Ferraro's work ethic or his dedication. He just sucks.
