Because the front office has sort of drilled it into their minds that being bad is… good?

Or, and hear me out because this is a radical thought, they just aren't that good and are full of crappy players who literally can't do any better than they are currently doing.

But no. It must be that Grier told them that they'll get frosty chocolate milkshakes if they give up 4 goals in a game.

 

[Skeksis25]

Only positive from this game so far is that Michkov hasn't been involved in any of the scoring.

Yet.

I'm not sure why games this year make me so much more frustrated than previous years of tanking. It's brutal.

For me, I'm thinking there's a disconnect between:

• Educated Sharks fans, who understand that even if this team tries as hard as possible and sets their best lineup possible each game, that they will still likely finish in the bottom 4 with an upcoming draft that has 4 guys who have 1OA talent; and
• Mike Grier, who I think made a decision to try to actually get 1OA again to guarantee they get Schaefer.

As opposed to last year when everyone was on board for tanking to get Celebrini.

Incoming 4 straight even strength goals by michkov.

 

[karltonian]

yeah that was a goddamn trip

 

[Levie]

I'm in need of a Celebrini scoring injection.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Put Kostin or Kovalenko on with #2 and #71

 

[slocal]

The superior support for Celebrini is showing.

Sharks wearing 11 and running into goalies is a great tradition

 

[OrrNumber4]

I'm not saying that Graf, Cardwell, Bordeleau, Gushchin, etc. are going to be productive in the NHL (though I would have the most optimism with Graf). But Goodrow, Dellandrea, and Grundstrom have been completely unspectacular. Kostin has been barely any better. Why do they keep playing?

It's the same on defense. How can Rutta play over Thompson?

 

[Friday]

I dunno if the Sharks are going to win another one this season haha

Yeah that Marcel Goc was a hoot

 

[The Nemesis]

Best I can give you is Rutta inspirationally failing to get a shot off.

Why exactly is goodrow on the ice? His -21 is remarkable for a fourth liner…

He is the only leadership we can find apparently

Yeah maybe

 

[karltonian]

wennberg has been real bad for a good few games

You can be a crappy team and lose that’s fine, but when it’s pretty obvious you aren’t even attempting to win and at the very least trying to be competitive, you deserve to have your motives questioned
