GDT: Game 60: Sharks @ Canadiens 4:00pm NBCSCA

[Sendhelplease]

We will win this type of game next year

 

[OrrNumber4]

That is going to motivate Celebrini...

 

[TheBeard]

I believe the Sharks are now under .500 when leading going into the third.

What a circus.

 

[Friday]

Will Smith had a hell of a game though. Its comforting to see him building confidence

 

[ChompChomp]

Refs didn't want Habs to lose nine in a row to the Sharks on Montreal ice.

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

Helluva move and goal

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Celebrini is going to have nightmares about Caulfield, and Stone this summer. It was a really nice goal, but I hate to see him get out matched like that. I really hope he works on that sooner rather than later.

 

[karltonian]

ouch celebrini got embarrassed.

 

[TheBeard]

Every time he's motivated he does little.

That is going to motivate Celebrini...

 

[Kcoyote3]

That ending leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Didn’t like the Celebrini hit and it seemed like he wasn’t at his best in OT.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Young guys gotta be better about changing in OT

 

[vortexy]

The Sharks inexperience really is on display in OT, they have no idea how to play 3on3. So many guys staying out way too long and not changing on the fly when they have the chance. I don’t know if it’s because they players are stubborn or if they honestly just don’t know….I would really hope Warso is yelling from the bench to get off the ice etc

they almost had 4 on as well

 

[The Nemesis]

TSN's 3 stars graphic shows Will Smith in a Team USA jersey instead of a Sharks one and had a Canadiens logo next to his name instead the Sharks.

 

[Hodge]

Henry Turd needs to be fired into the sun

 

[weastern bias]

Got to watch the second half of the game thanks to ESPN+

Had to reboot my smart TV twice in that time thanks to ESPN+

Good to see NHL reffing is just as good as I remember

As I've been saying all season, Smith for Calder

The Montreal feed showing Smith in a Habs jersey as the 3rd star.

Celebrini: "f*** it. I don't even care. I do what I want."

they are really bad at that thing where you change on one end and the other guy comes out on the other end

Was a USA jersey. Habs don't have a white jersey with blue shoulders and a red collar.

 

[pdxshark]

I know I'm supposed to be mad we lost but Jesus Christ what a goal. Throwing his stick in the crowd was just the cherry on top lol

Hard to complain considering my expectations. We put ourselves in a position to win and failed (again) to do it. As long as that remains frustrating we'll be ok.

 

[TheBeard]

Yeah, the stream was awful. Froze my TV twice

[hohosaregood]

they deserved better but getting there.

 

[karltonian]

I wonder if walman was a little hesitant to drive the net on those two OT chances.

 

[coooldude]

For the record and all the Warsofsky haters, he didn't once start a period or OT with any dumb ass line combinations. Just so the next time it happens people don't disintegrate.

That was a super frustrating game.
- what he hell was Georgie doing on that first goal? That's an easy save if he doesn't stumble back on his heels. And Hutson gets a point for making a good not great cross ice pass. Ugh.
- so many close chances and posts. Snakebit Macklin... That backdoor chip from Eklund was so close, etc etc
- total job by the refs, absolutely. Soft calls, missed calls.
- bummer to see Celly get walked to lose the game, going to have to hear it from Habs fans in the threads now even though he generally had a pretty dangerous game and was all over the ice

That said
+ three straight games of being very much in the game, even in difficult environs and vs at least one excellent team
+ Nobody is losing motivation. Even the 4th and 3rd lines were going tonight, although Dell/Kunin/Goody couldn't control puck to save their lives
+ Excellent game from Smith, which is becoming a theme... Seems he's figuring out how to play physically without having to be as strong physically (Zetts really should have headmanned him on that partial breakaway)
+ I haven't been too impressed with Mukh but I thought he looked good tonight, and Ferraro looked good too
+ With a healthy Askarov or Blackwood, we win that game
+ I know, no moral victories and blah blah, but I firmly believe it DOES matter that we're the team with the most 1 goal and "close" losses in the league, and I believe that next year more of those wins will break our way.
