GDT: Game 38: Sharks vs. Golden Knights 7:30pm NBCSCA

[Tw1ster]

The goal is to finish dead last and maximize your chance of getting the 1st overall pick.

Grier knew exactly what he was doing by acquiring Georgiev and making sure he plays.

To be honest, and I know you guys will hate to hear this, but you should re-sign him for one year and tank again next season.

If the hockey Gods somehow gave you Schaefer + McKenna to go with Celebrini, Dickinson, Smith, Askarov, etc…. you’d be primed for an absolute dynasty run.

OK, normally I'm fine with wearing supporter gear in whatever barn. Wear the sweaters, whatever. But I draw the line at styrofoam hats. That guy can get punched and I didn't see anything

Askarov is on a 2 year contract extension starting next season. No way are they going to hold him down or have him platoon or back up Georgiev (or anyone else) next season and still be able to sign him again for the future. The plan appears to have always been to acquire him, let him ride out this year with the Barracuda with some call-ups to the Sharks, and then give him the chance to earn the starting job next fall.

If you just look at pure percentages we’re better off with no goalie than with Georgie…

 

[Melek Taus]

Bring back Patzold.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Good games from Mukhamadullin, Rutta, Smith, Celebrini, Zetterlund, and Toffoli. Everyone else kinda blew.

 

[TheBeard]

I'm sure right now the players are celebrating and high-fiving in the locker room because it helped the tank.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That 3rd period was painful, but I think the empty net goal secured a SNOG victory tonight so that's good.

 

[Timo Time]

This may be the worst goalie I think I've ever seen

 

[Anomie2029]

Wennberg was absolutely awful on the three 3rd period goals. For someone meant to be a 2-way centre, he quits on the back check very too often.

 

[hohosaregood]

kids were sick. old dudes not so sick.

 

[Murzu]

We are terribly sorry and feel your pain.

-Avs fans

Hopefully you can shoot Fivegiev to the moon ASAP.

 

[karltonian]

Bring back Patzold.

schaefer time

I was hoping for the sun

What did the moon do to deserve that?

[bluefunnel]

As they say, a Sharks lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey.

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

What did the moon do to deserve that?

If he's wearing the catcher he'll miss the moon too

 

[TheBeard]

If he's wearing the catcher he'll miss the moon too

"Maybe if orbit was smarter, moon would nott be so tricky to stop."

 

[fasterthanlight]

is starting georgiev over askarov is the closest thing the sharks have done to deliberate tanking in franchise history? I kind of think yes. Askarov is miles better already, if we were trying to win, we would obviously play him, no?

(More hopeful alternative: Maybe we're hoping for a bounce back to re-trade him at the deadline? Can you believe he was a 2024 NHL all-star? Maybe there's something still there?)

 

[Melek Taus]

Warso at very least needs to say "Georgiev needs to be better"

Pete used to always let Jones off the hook.

 

[Cas]

Martin Jones is still a free agent.

meh. rotating goalies was kind of the plan this year. sure georgiev is terrible but it's not changing the plan. asky has had some stinkers himself, including last game.

I mean, it’s a back-to-back. Georgiev was going to get one of these games
