GDT: Game #32 Anaheim Ducks @ San Jose SHARKS - 27 March 2013 7:00pm PDT

I agree about Handzus and Murray/Clowe, which makes you wonder if Wilson ever really planned to go for a cup this year or if Plattner told him to sell at the deadline regardless. Even if you are trying to improve player value, doing so at the detriment of your team for that period of time seems kind of crazy.

I don't think either of them thought it would be that much of a detriment to the team, so why not play those guys and keep your options open?

SNOG:

4-2 Sharks.

Havlat, Couture, Burns and Marleau.

Selanne and Perry.

Exactly. And it is not like they are completely screwed at this point. They are still sitting at 8th seed and still have a good chance of making the playoffs.

 

[YoungSinatra]

5-3 Ducks
Perry x2, Getz, Selanne, Etem
Irwin, Burns, Marleau

 

[Arrch]

3-2 Sucks
Beauchemin, Etem, Perry
Marleau, Couture

sure, but after they kept losing, and losing, and losing, and losing and losing...

At some point you guy "jeez, maybe we should field the best lineup we can for awhile"... seems like they finally did, but talk about waiting until the last minute.

They probably weren't chalking that losing streak up to playing the wrong 6th defenseman and 3rd/4th liners, and to be fair that's not what's keeping this team from being a Cup contender.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I still can't find it! I got the text message saying csnca but it's not showing it on there. I'm afraid to record the basketball that's on at the same time and come home and watch it and it's actually basketball.

 

[sjsharklover]

Sharks come out strong tonight

4-2

Clowe nets 2 ,burns and Havlat
Getzlaf,perry

 

[Hatrick Marleau]

@KKurzCSN: Brent Burns moved locker stalls, now next to Clowe. The six d-men are all next to each other - indication he's staying as a forward?

Hmmmm...

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Hmmmm...

Its been working so why mess with it.

 

[Hatrick Marleau]

Its been working so why mess with it.

I just hope they don't keep him there long term.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I just hope they don't keep him there long term.

Barring injury..its a safe bet hes there for the rest of the year

 

[Coily]

Good, he's our best forward most nights.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Question: Why do the Sharks have to play on back to back nights at home, while tomorrows opponent, Detroit, has been off since Monday?

Home ice advantage my ass.

 

[Barrie22]

Snog

Ducks come out flying scoring twice in the 1st period.

Sharks claw within 1 in the 2nd period.

Ducks come out in the 3rd and score within 5 mins to make it 3-1. Sharks score 3 in the last 10 mins of the game to take the game 4-3.

Ducks- perry, beauch, selanne

Sharks- couture, pavs, burns, boyle

Until Burns stops playing like Ovechkin, keep him there.

So, probably ten more games.
