GDT: Game 62: Sharks @ Maple Leafs 4:30pm NBCSCA

[Grinner]

Nice to get a win In. The lads certainly needed to get tthat loss monkey off their collective backs

 

[Barrie22]

We have played 62 games and 23 of them have been decided by 1 goal or less. 37% of the games.

 

[karltonian]

That OT penalty kill was gutsy. Georgiev was locked in.

yup several key freezes on that PK.

[knu]

but sign Zetterlund to a long term deal at 6mil/per lol

Yep!

 

[TheBeard]

Nice lookin stat card

 

[OrrNumber4]

Yep!

I actually think that Zetterlund might make a great asset to trade. Ideally, he's a great third-liner, and some team thinking he has more in him could be willing to part with a premium asset.

Sharks looked completely lifeless in the second.

Can't blow a lead if you never hold one!

My issue is you can't have your entire team be players 18-20. Zetterlund is only 25. Sign him now for 5 years to have him cost controlled before the big boys get massively outrageous contracts when the cap is sky-high.

 

[JackSkellington]

Toronto fans went from this is finally our year to we just lost to the Sharks, 1st rd exit confirmed

Matthews - 3:47

Nylander - 2:48

That's the right thinking, but I'd rather replace Zetterlund with an older, more established veteran who can provide mentorship.

Over the coming years, Zetterlund will be a more talented Luke Kunin...able to hold his own and fully adjusted to the NHL, but not someone rookies can lean on for help.

 

[LadyStanley]

From early 3rd.

Lean on? No, but if everything goes according to plan he can be a vital piece to a legit third line that contending teams rely on heavily. A more established vet will be 33 by the time the team is ready to compete.

Hawks win so the Sharks break the streak but didn't gain any ground. It's a good night.

Great win, very much needed for morale. This chart checks out I would say. Will Smith had another great game vs a good team...he's really putting it together now. Hopefully he gets rewarded with another goal or two soon here.

 

[karltonian]

Muk with another solid game, he has been doing well for a while now. Since he last came up I think.

that thinking is the treadmill to nowhere plan, they need the talent like Zetterburg who can relate better to the 25 and under shark talent coming up. GMMG would just be looking for another player like him next summer. This team needs continuity and stability, they don't need any more marginal prospects which is all Zetterburg is going to get them, or a draft pick that is 5 years away.

and with Chicago handing it to the Kings tonight, they don't even lose ground in the Schaefer sweepstakes.

Good job Georgie

The second goal was appalling how far out of the net he was, but other than that, best game of the year for him. Nails in the shootout.

 

[karltonian]

Wow, had no idea he was in this running. Pickles has been eating pucks for the Sharks for a LONG time, I guess he's allowed to be a bit cranky.

 

[Star Platinum]

My one complaint other than the second goal given up by Georgiev is I didn't like them running out the clock in OT. It worked out, but they had a chance to get one or two scoring chances and that felt to me like they were afraid to let Toronto touch the puck again. Even if you're not as good as the other team, you have to play without fear.
