GDT: Game 43: Sharks vs. Golden Knights 7:30pm NBCSCA

[karltonian]

Yeah, Celebrini needed to pass it up the ice. Kind of anti-climactic.

i need to see where everyone else was, there were 2 unmarked guys coming in the zone

 

[NWSharkie]

That only works if there's somebody to pass to, and the Sharks' spacing was awful for that whole EN sequence

[karltonian]

Celebrini does need a game off, he's not been particularly dominant lately, he's young, he's been hurt already this year, and we're not going anywhere anyway.

No shame in it.

he needs a game with NHL players. the smith thing has run its course, it's not good for either of them if they can be neutralized so easily by targeting AHL Smith.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I would think about sitting Celebrini in the Utah game. Maybe it would suck for the Utah fans, but maybe it might be time to rest him for a game.

 

[Star Platinum]

Lane Hutson wouldn’t have coughed it up there

 

[karltonian]

First game Celebrini has looked human. Ah well. Mukh looked solid. Graf looked solid. Eklund had a good one.

Granlund needs to stop being the hero - seems like every year in the middle 30 games he does this.

We still suck, but we played hard vs the best team in the league. Georgiev amazingly had a decent game despite giving up 3 bad goals.

He has looked human every game he has had to drag AHL Smith. tbh.

 

[Star Platinum]

Congrats to Threegiev for overachieving

[Tw1ster]

I blame this loss on the Sharks being the worst team in the league (pretty much) and Vegas being the best team in the league

 

[Juxtaposer]

Very respectable effort. Can't be mad about it.

I blame this loss on @Juxtaposer never having seen a movie

 

[karltonian]

is it in this coach's repertoire to load up a line for offense late in a game when they are down?

 

[Lebanezer]

Someone tell Warsofsky Thrun threw it in reverse and went back around the corner.

 

[Tw1ster]

Is that AHL Celebrini and AHL Toffoli below NHL Smith?

 

[Chinaski89]

Celebrini needs at least a half decent possession guy to play with. Can't be having 2 guys that can't make plays. Kovalenko was as good a candidate as anyone other than Ekky Ekky Ekky Ptang Zoom Boing.

A shrubbery? Ni!?

 

[tiburon12]

macklin got uncled by old man stone.

Maybe he'll channel Mega Man and graft these puck-stealing skills from Stone

 

[karltonian]

I mean i dunno, that defensive play on stone was great, it's a real shame no one came back to f***ing help. i know granny and celebrini are good but it's asking a lot to have them take on stone and 2 other players with an empty net.

Is that AHL Celebrini and AHL Toffoli below NHL Smith?

guy has to carry smith around and spend entire f***ing game defending because smith can't make a goddamn play in the NHL. let granny babysit him a while.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

This team finds new ways to give me an aneurysm. Even at their worst even more lows are coming. The Mack line had a terrible game. I don't know anymore man.

 

[Chinaski89]

The flow of Georgiev games fascinates me. Usually a couple of early softies, followed by a period where he's accepted that he's the anchor weighing down the team in another loss, so he settles down and has a period where he looks competent, followed by a brutal end where everything falls apart and all hope is lost and then he closes it out with another brief bit of competence.

Sounds like an acid trip. Lots of peaks and valleys before a torrid waterfall into oblivion.

Wouldn’t be opposed to Granny Smith being reunited thought Granlund hasn’t been much better if at all than Smith as of late.

Would like to see Eklund with Celebrini and Graf

*soft, dadly chuckle*

 

[hohosaregood]

It should only count as half a win if you're betting for the other team.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

When 3giev is the best player on the ice, you done f***ed up.

 

[karltonian]

This team finds new ways to give me an aneurysm. Even at their worst even more lows are coming. The Mack line had a terrible game. I don't know anymore man.

I mean vegas just has unreal depth so i guess it's to be expected that a line of rookies might have trouble, even if one of them is good. but knowing we are at that kind of a disadvantage, i dont see why the coach refuses to shorten his bench ever.
