Wow

 

[joshik]

finally a skilled goal from borque

 

[FinPanda]

Looks like Granlund has been a good fit. Ofc its Sharks but he has gotten points so thats good.

Quiet his first couple of games, more noticeable the last couple. Starting to see some chemistry from his line

 

[Troy McClure]

I’m very surprised how Bourque has found regular production while Stankoven has completely dried up. Bourque had a rough start to the season, but it’s nice to see him find his legs.

 

[Kcb12345]

I still think Stankoven has looked mostly fine tbh. Still creating, still getting chances. His finishing has been just terrible though

Definitely have noticed his size issues more lately but it's easy to pick on things when he's not producing. Truth is he's always been knocked down/hit hard a lot going back to last season, we just didn't notice it as often

I'm still not worried about him. He's 21 years old

Spotted them 2 goals for funsies

Stank only played 4 shifts that period. He's a team low 6:32 TOI.

Him getting knocked down is going to happen, but what we’ve stopped seeing is him puck jacking guys and winning physical battles like he was doing last season. The grind of a long NHL season seems to be wearing on him. Hopefully, it’s something we can chalk up to him still being a rookie.

 

[eartotheground]

we should have had a pre season poll on who would have the better year, stank or bork

I would have confidently voted Stankoven.

He’ll be fine

minutes cut but might do him some good.

I would have confidently voted Stankoven.

i would've probs gone that way, but i've also watched a ton of both of their junior/ early days. mav has insane iq/vision. for some reason we always undervalue that

 

[BG44]

Looks like Stankoven is up on the top line now. Johston has been taking shifts with the 4th line which is curious.

I’d imagine it’s because they want their 4th line not to be a liability, and spread their top guys throughout all four lines to secure the win.

 

[starsfan86]

Bork is having a fantastic game

i think johnston has become the new jere.. put him on a line you want fixed

much to the detriment of his own stats

 

[Kcb12345]

Sharks play by play guy just said Bichsel is 24 years old lol

 

[Kcb12345]

Johnston is so damn good

 

[redbeardtx]

Oh shit Wyatt!

 

[starsfan86]

Johnny can play on any line and score lol

 

[ugrakarma]

Johnston. The fat lady has sung.

Bichsel gets crosschecked so much he'd need the old Holmström gear.
