Credit to Garbagiev for keeping it under a touchdown Speer needs a massive payraise

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.

If you’re upset that 3 rookies had trouble with the best team in the league or that our lottery team struggled, you might be expecting too much from the Sharks right now.

 

[weastern bias]

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

The former mostly. That was the most human Celebrini has looked.

My expectations were low and this game they didn't even reach that.

What’s our regular season record against Vegas, 4-71?

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Vegas is 27-2-5 against us

We are a poverty franchise with these numbers

 

[karltonian]

The incredible thing is we actually got more PPs. And scored on them.

 

[weastern bias]

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

Does a Georgiev game make your chest cavity slowly unzip until your body turns completely inside out and your ethereal innards leave nothing but a purple vapor (which is the scariest smelling color) in its wake?

Asking for no particular reason

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Just watching the highlights and the first 2 goals against are absolute trash, that being said Speer has to be in the top 3 goalie coaches in the league because mechanically/technically this might of been the best Garbagiev has looked in a year. Eh Mack’s turnover I’m kind of who cares, he will only get better from it. My skeptical Grier trading prowess hating ass has to say he might have one of the biggest college FA signings steals in Graf

For real he made some big saves with sound technique. He was basically serviceable in the last 40.

Went to the game for my birthday, saw Georgiev was in goal, had no qualms about losing

Tanking is a state of mind

 

[Anomie2029]

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.

If Warsofsky shortens his bench, we’re going to see way too much of Goodrow and Kunin…. well, more than the usual too much.

 

[OrrNumber4]

I admire that Georgiev had a great game after the first period, but consistency is a key to goaltending. An average starting goaltender rarely lets in garbage goals.

 

[mogambomoroo]

There has never been a more unmotivating team as Vegas. Just knowing they'll always find a way to play better and they could have the worst roster of the NHL. This was the same case back when Sharks were a playoff team.
At this point Sharks should only scout Vegas, on how to beat them or how to be them and they'll have their team ready forever.

Cracking me up all over again this morning. I'm saving this.

When you think about it, Vegas was built specifically to beat the Sharks.

It's weird that he becomes a competent goalie after he shits the bed.

Pressures off lol

At this point there should be no pressure being the goaltender on the worst team in hockey behind an even worse defense.

I was legit so mad I couldn't sleep. Then stood up til 3 seething before finally falling asleep, then got to work with only 3 hours of sleep
