The funniest thing to me isn’t the mask or pads, but the stick is still Sharks colors, too. Not sure if that’s just the colors of the stick out of the factory or if goalie’s personalize the color choices, but it’s white and teal.
Yeah, but you have to let him play to show he's actually better or nobody is gonna bite on that
The players have to earn the culture being a justifiable reason to keep an expiring contract. Until they do, they have to accept the realities of building from the ground up.
If you are in for the night I have many high seas sailing options I could recommend to wind down your evenings with the Sharks while on vacation
it's not a question of disagreeing. They were under the impression that Grier's intention of bringing aboard and playing Georgiev was because they think there's a real goalie buried somewhere in there just begging to be unlocked. He's a bad goalie, a bad teammate and that was all on display tonight.
They're not really that stacked with all the injuries. Their first line and top defenseman is way better than ours but the rest, meh.
There's zero chance of that happening. Zero. I also think 20 starts from here on out is an optimistic outlook.
At some point we're gonna rattle off a few wins in a row and he's suddenly gonna start having multiple development days.
I'm somewhere in the middle.
Take a deep breath.
That is probably what will happen at the trade deadline unless a goalie coaching miracle occurs.
I don't even care about losing. Losses will come no matter because we're not a good team. I'm under no delusions about that. But Georgiev is the closest I've seen to playing someone as a subtle attempt to minimize any chance of winning. He was part of the trade. He had to come over, but that's where his involvement with the organization should have ended.
Eh, Grier is clearly trying to rehab Georgiev's value especially with Vanecek injured...I'm sure when that fails, his playing time will come down.
Eh, for two periods he played pretty well on balance. But I know enough to know that the Sharks with a one goal lead in the third period are immediately going to get hemmed in their own zone for the rest of the game, so my hopes were rather muted.
The funny this is neither of the bad goals were those situations. Just quick transitions. The book is out on Georgiev. Has been for a while. He goes down early. Glove high and it's almost a cheat code against him.
Georgiev has a lot of reasons why he might not be salvageable though. He's a little on the small side for what NHL goalies are these days and with his attitude, you wonder how coachable he is. But it's up to him whether he wants to be playing in the NHL or the KHL next season.
