GDT: Game 3: Sharks vs. Canes and Burns 7:30pm NBCSCA

[Alaskanice]

I feel for Reimer, he played so well.

 

[Gecklund]

2 Canes goals eliminates Kcoyote3 and SJSharks72 from SNOG contention. Though it would take another goal for each team in the last minute+ to get an actual SNOG.

Karlsson has been bad. He's only had 1 good year for the Sens? That contract was such a deadly contract for the Sharks, especially since in the same year they lost Pavelski.

I can accept struggles offensively, but he’s just putting the absolute minimal effort in and it’s completely the opposite of what Grier’s expecting from his players.

 

[Hodge]

I know it’s early in the season but tomorrow’s game is massive. Absolute must lose.

 

[The Nemesis]

And that's that.

No SNOGs tonight.

No fancy graphics to declare that fact tonight. Sorry.

 

[Gecklund]

Don’t worry guys we are winning where it matters

 

[tiburon12]

Even though losing is the plan, losing a game like this sucks the morale out of the team, which is the danger any org faces when tanking. Home opener, close game, would be nice to have a small victory there

No it’s not. Jesus Christ.

 

[Jargon]

Where's Meier? Hertl? Karlsson? Couture? When Matt Nieto is your best player, you're not doing it right. This team is so badly missing high-end talent, it's palpable.

I know they've played two very good teams so far but my previous off-season mild optimism -- that they'd be better this year -- was misplaced. They're going to be baaaad. Bottom-5 if not Bottom-3 finish. Which, like, great -- perfect season to do that, let's get Bedard.

EK65 gave up that last one. Optimus playing his rear off, too bad he was behind such a weak team. This is going to be a long season…

He could have asked for a trade at any time. He knows what his situation is.

 

[Coily]

When your only goal comes from a guy with 5:59 of TOI. You're tanking correctly.

 

[drunksage]

And that's that.

No SNOGs tonight.

No fancy graphics to declare that fact tonight. Sorry.

You're the best, Nem!

My only joy tonight was specifically screwing random posters over in a meaningless contest for no good reason.

 

[Gecklund]

With the Sharks upcoming schedule, I could easily see them going 0-10-0 if they lose tomorrow. After the Blackhawks you got NYI, NYR, NJD, PHI, VGK, TOR, TBL, ANA. Obviously they always bring their A game against Vegas but PHI and ANA are really the two that are surface level winnable games.

Honestly understandable. The sharks don’t bring much joy.

 

[Jargon]

Maybe they'll have such a terrible first half of the season that Meier will beg for a trade and we'll get a nice haul for him? Alternatively, we'll get like 6 Lorentz's.

 

[Alwalys]

[Pinkfloyd]

No effort complaints but they lost to the better team.

 

[TheBeard]

Obviously they always bring their A game against Vegas

Yeah, that’s not true.

 

[Jargon]

Yeah, that’s not true.

It's hard to tell whether they do or not since they always lose...

Carolina Hurricanes @ San Jose Sharks, 2022-10-14

Holy butthole...the Canes are obviously a very, very good team unlike Nashville but JFC. Reimer almost committed highway robbery. The Sharks got absolutely run out of the building. Another couple dozen games like this, and the Sharks may be firmly in the Bedard sweepstakes....

 

[CaptainShark]

After watching the first three games, I think there is no point to tune in again as long as they don’t recall some of the promising prospects (Bordeleau, Eklund, Merkley).

I am not criticizing the decision to give all three time in the AHL, but watching a team of 4th-liners is just not worth it…

Some mods just want to watch the world burn.

 

[Anomie2029]

I’m sure Couture will continue to be abysmal and be given a free pass about it. Part of the reason the PP is as bad as it is because he is frequently relied to be the playing breaking the puck through the neutral zone.
