Hey Sharks peeps! Blues guy swinging by to ask about Walman.

Is he experiencing weight/conditioning issues?

I'm a Sharks fan now with all of the new blood and Grier at the helm. When those retention slots open, I'll start to feel even better about your future. Those slots will open right around when the Sharks will begin their ascension. Good timing.

Heading into the season, I figured that your team would give up fewer goals because of a stronger bottom-six and good goaltending. So far, your GA rate is lower than last season.

Best of luck tonight!!

I've never seen anything that suggests that Walman has weight issues. To be honest, for him I think shatter-resistanceness and density is more important than weight. Like the Berlin Wall or the Great Wall of China, no ones moving them, so it doesn't matter how heavy. But those other two properties are important for a sturdy wall, man.

I ask because he was jettisoned from DET and has been benched in SJ, so I wondered what his numbers were at the draft compared to now.

6'0" 170lbs

6'1" 218lbs

So I thought maybe there are some conditioning issues.

Okay. Lemme piss off now. I shouldn't be here right now. Talk later

It was the same sort of penalty they called on Bolduc for his hit on Grundstrom. It was that late. He should know better especially when he's already done a lot of stupid things when he's in the lineup.
he does a lot of dumb stuff but if he's gonna do something dumb it's better if it's like this. he's not always making those kinds of physical plays but he needs to work hard and play hard like that if he's gonna stay in the NHL

Yeah, I suppose you can get away with it a little more when it's a physical penalty but I'm more forgiving of physical penalties when it's on the play not behind it.

That's a great save.

Wow 50 lbs though is alot! Plus or minus ten for measurement error and stuff so let's say he's gained 40 lbs. I just wanted to make a Walman joke in my last post, I don't really have much to contribute in this discussion about weight and stuff lol. Unless.....are you calling Jake fat?!!
