GDT: Game 81: Sharks vs Avalanche, The Sharknado Sequel | 8:30 PM MT | April 5, 2018

[sethro109]

Put Mack with Ghetto and Nieto. Maybe they're raw speed will create something. I mostly say Nieto so he can take over Mack's defensive roll in our own end. Which will hopefully leave Mack open for some break out passes.

I know it sounds kinda stupid, but I'm desperate and the whiskeys been whispering in my ear.

Not a bad period at all but you know, you gotta hit the net in order to score a goal. (also stop falling down)

Mack looks 3 steps ahead of Rantanen. Kerfoot had a great period.

The thing is, Bednar does not even have to break the top line up for a whole game or even a period.. Just flip Mac down to the 2nd line with Jost and Getto for a shift here and there to make the Sharks second guess matchups even would be effective.

That and every other time hes split them up it's woken them up. Hes does it two or three times this year. Why not now? It's f***ing obvious Mikko can't handle a pass right now, and Jost/Ghetto have been skating their asses off and getting chances. Get Mikko out against easier lines, and get MacK someone who can stay upright.

Kerfoots line looked really good. Mackinnon has his legs tonight but nobody else can make a play around him. Soda line was decent except Como still a complete nimrod. Didnt like the Compher line. Barbs made some nice passes. Warsofsky is bad at everything.

I would love to know what happened to Rantanen. I think a huge part of his drop in play is all you guys making threads in the Mains. Thats all I got.

If there is any player I think is playing injured right now I think It's Mikko. The maintenance day just furthered the suspicion.

He just keeps falling. It was a problem before, but never this bad. Now I'm worried he has some sort of foot or ankle injury.

Just got in. How we looking? I kept an eye on the boxscore early on and saw that the shots were like 9-1 at one point. We were getting dominated early on or something?

Hopefully rants snaps out of it and we get some decent o zone pressure. Mack looks like he's playing for keeps

Kind of but the Aves were just missing the net a lot. Played well in the second half of the period.

Second half of the period was better, but still pretty sloppy in general.

Not as bad as it seems, a lot of blocked shots and misses wide. Started off with a good shift then a weird deflection for the goal. SJS looked a bit more dangerous but there were chances both ways.

We look like we did before the losing streak, despite the score.

Looked better in the second half of the period, but we can't hit the broad side of a barn door.

 

[missionAvs]

Got it. Thanks for the heads up. I see that Barb's is alive! How'd he look in the 1st?

 

[DanishAvsfan]

If there is any player I think is playing injured right now I think It's Mikko. The maintenance day just furthered the suspicion.

I think so too. His drop off has been so noticable that I can’t imagine him not having some sort of lingering injury. But if that is the case he should not be playing on the top line.

 

[S3rkie]

Does anyone else change to the away broadcast feed on gamecenter when the game isn't going the right way? Or am I just a weirdo?

Those aren't mutually exclusive...

 

[The Merchant]

How many games in a row is Rants gonna be the worst player on the ice?

 

[missionAvs]

Sheesh, I thought Pavelski scored there...

 

[missionAvs]

The answer to that question is yes.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Nice block from Barb

 

[The Kingslayer]

[S3rkie]
