GDT: Game #16 • San Jose Sharks @ Chicago Blackhawks • February 22, 2013 • 5:30pm PST

[Broiler19]

i continue to watch mclellan change the pp unit after 30 seconds all the time. im tired of it. i see every other team keep their top unit on for 1:20ish not 30-40 secs, followed by 40 secs for unit 2 and then the handzus line. its like clockwork. if you wanna have the big boys get the pp out of their funk, keep them on the ice. makes me so angry.

Kennedy has horrible puck control.

what? he created the last chance near the end of that period, without his little move around the defender it would've been a for sure clear and 0 opportunity.

 

[Negatively Positive]

I don't feel good about this game. The Sharks are gonna get a bad bounce and lose. Only way I would be optimistic is if we had a 3 goal lead going into the 3rd. It's tied and Chicago's been clutch as hell.

 

[ChompChomp]

I thought Olczyk was was NHL network?

No, it's the just the CSN Chicago Feed, although this year the NHL Network now uses it's own graphics. That's why when the CSN Chicago guys start talking about something with an obvious graphic that they have, NHL network shows their own (unrelated) graphic.

Puck control as in his boardwork is very poor. That was one of the main reasons he couldn't stay in the NHL.

Okay, makes sense. Well, that's better, but the Hawks guys are still huge homers. Up their with Pittsburgh's.

Chicago broadcasters always "talk to the youngsters" out there and point out what the opposing team's players are doing [always negative]. Then showing the kids how to do it the right way, using the Hawks as an example.

I hate watching other broadcasts! I need MY bias commentary!

Easy way to shut them up would be to kick their teams ass. Unfortunately for us, that is not happening.

Sharks broadcast is only biased on the reffing(drew)

They call the sharks out a lot. And interview other teams players a lot. One if the better productions in the league imo

A few times tonight they have praised the Sharks for certain play. They aren't as bad as the Red Wings guys.

What I've noticed that I find interesting (in a bad way) is that I've seen them do 2 Sharks/Hawks games this season, talk up a STORM about how good the Sharks are defensively, many times show our defensive master mind associate coach talking to a dman, but not ONCE do they even utter the name "Larry Robinson."

Randy/Drew always point out assistants for other teams, but for some reason Eddie O doesn't want to say "Larry Robinson."

No, still wouldn't do it. Apparently Stalberg's goal came from a "swing of momentum from a great PK", not because it ricocheted off of Burns.

Exactly. Yeah, Drew has his homerish rants, but for the most part he and Randy are very fair and actually talk about the other team and call out the Sharks for making a mistake.

Do you guys not have csnba?

 

[Danish Pastry]

sorry i only post during intermission but im so sick of these bull crap goals from our goal line what is that 4 this year its so ****ing annoying...

 

[ChompChomp]

We're out of market, so we have to watch on NHL Network. I have NHL Center Ice, but they black out CSN-CA for us out of marketers when the game is picked up on NHL Network.

 

[drunksage]

Do you guys not have csnba?

I actually do, but I currently live in an area whose "home" region for the NHL is pretty much SoCal. I get blacked out for Sharks games.

It would up to a point though. If your team is not doing well, there is only so much you can talk about from a homer standpoint.

Plus from personal experience, that stuff is less bothersome if the Sharks were winning too.

I'm so sick of NOBODY BEING ABLE TO ****ING FINISH. What is that, year 22 and counting??

They make stuff up, don't worry, they'd be able to make stuff up. One guy got all orgasmic when Krueger won a faceoff, and another when Hjalmarsson blocked a routine shot.

Of course it's less bothersome if we were winning because then you can just laugh, but they are just as bad regardless.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Good job Couture.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Well .. PP to begin. Lets do this boys.

 

[McSkittlez]

Another power play. Now do something with it.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yay .. SH goal.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Lame.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Game over.


At the very least Chicago's streak will continue because I doubt we'll score 2 goals and win in regulation.

awesome
