GDT: Game 50 @ Predators 5pm

[dmcccdmn]

Hilarious game. Trading for Georgiev may prove to be a brilliant move if we end up with Schaefer.

Man, it must be exhausting if you're not on team tank. To me, this was one of the best games of the season. Playing a team fighting for 1st overall pick with you and leading them 5-1 in the first only to end up losing in regulation time. Plus, Celebrini scored and Askarov wasn't playing. If you're playing the long game as a fan, you should be happy. I am.

What a game. Need more of this against CHI and other bottom feeders. Being the worst team guarantees top-3 picks. That is more important than any win this season.

So.. 6eorgiev?

Grier is playing 3-D chess.

...instead of watching this team play, probably.

Hot take: A lot of hot takes here.
Wario is light years better at coaching than Quinn was, or ever will be, and that's coming from someone who sympathizes with the position in which Quinn was placed. We're a much more competitive squad, far more entertaining to watch this season, there's some semblance of a system in place, and they're also seems to be a much higher level of buy-in with the players. The Little Warsofski is also the youngest coach in the league, in his first season being in charge behind the bench. We're just a couple years into a rebuild, and the talent level on this team leaves something to be desired. We essentially have a bunch of 4-7 defenseman, a couple of middle sixers, a bunch of forwards that would be fourth liners or call-ups on contenders, and Celebrini. All this to say that it's gonna take time, and there will be major rough patches. Be patient. Don't pull an Ottawa.
Thus concludes my Sharks-apologist posting for the evening.

I dunno. I read stuff like this and it makes me wonder if the coach is in over his head. I realize it's not his job to give good answers to questions, but...

I get the idea of short-term pain for long-term gain, but I think there's a fair argument that the nth-order effects of losing so much will override the (slightly) higher draft position.

Players and coaches being snide/glib with the media always irritate me. It's their job to ask questions, and it is part of your job to answer them.

He’s 100% in over his head and I’m starting to think he was hired partly for that reason. Grier knew it was gonna be as much of a learning experience for him as the kids so he sorta knew (hoped) he wouldn’t have any immediate success.

Imagine giving up 4 to Boston in the third with a lead, saying the same garbage and then repeating the same only worse against a lesser team. It tells me War doesn’t really know how to rally the troops and without any sort of leadership on the ice and veteran leadership off, there’s no reason to expect to see different results or lessons learned this year.

No offense and I’m sure the mods will reprimand me or whatever and I accept it, but sincerely, you’re kind of an asshole. To have the audacity to come in here on a rough loss where you can clearly see people pissed off and be all, “It MuSt Be ExHaUsTiNg To CaRe” is f***ing condescending and obnoxious. Yeah everyone is gonna say “just put him on ignore” and I probably will, but not before saying, it must be exhausting only caring about an organization when they’re good.
