I think goaltender interference decisions are way too inconsistent and unpredictable.

JMO If Schmaltz does not cut through the top of the crease it's a good goal.

Yeah. I just concur with the broadcast crew that the only reason Georgiev wasn't able to get back into position in time was because of the Sharks player that followed Schmaltz through. His stick looked like it got caught up on whoever that was, on the overhead replay.

I do not want this game to go to overtime...

 

[Summer Rose]

I might get my wish!

Love seeing Doan back up with the big club. I hope he can stay up for good but if not it'll be good experience for him.

Who was in the box when the Sharks scored their first goal? I don't hate Hayton, I hate AT has to play him as our 1C. Finding a 1C has to be BA's top priority going forward.

You've got a guilty conscience. I want even thinking of anyone in particular. Just liked how it flowed.

Doan looked good last night.

Not at all. Hayton has to be Utah's 3C, nothing higher. He will be very valuable at that position. Playing above that he is not. He is what he is. Wishing he "breaks out" is done. Time to move on and try to get a 1C or a high 2C has to be BA's priority. We still need high end talent, and we will have to give up a player or two that we don't want to, but will have to. Easier said than done though, but there is no way Hayton can be 1C entering next year.

I agree. I stopped thinking Hayton was going to break out at least a season and a half ago. He'd be great on the third line. I like his hustle and grind but he's weak on offense. Even surrounded by Keller and Schmaltz.

We've been looking for one for almost 20 years. 1C typically have to be drafted because they rarely get traded. Pretty tall order to expect BA to land one all of a sudden in this next offseason. For now, our best hope seems to be Cooley. But...

Last season Smith, CA, and BA all agreed defense needed to be priority number 1 of the offseason. It might just be a top line C this coming offseason. I wouldn't be surprised if BA has already been looking and has already planted some of those seeds like with the Sergachev trade.

If he doesn't cut through the top of the crease, the goalie makes the save.

I enjoyed the ending of that game!
what is going on with the guenther injury? anybody know?

In response to your comment of Hayton breaking out .. I am not sure if he was ever thought of as a number 1 Center but was one of the few Centers in that draft ..

One thing I noticed- and I could be wrong is we tend to draft the opposite of what the strength seems to be of that draft .. even before BA

If it’s a strong forward draft we tend to go D first

This could just be my imagination, but it sure seems that
