Hopefully it works out as well as Gaborik did.

YESSS!!! Punking the San Jose Sharks is a feeling like no other. I think they're the only team I...is it hate? Yes, I'm sure of it, I hate 'em.

If your clown team and clown fans didn't celebrate every goal against the Kings like it was the greatest achievement on Earth I wouldn't feel this way. But you do, so I do. Adios!

This. They act as if they won the cup every time they score a goal against us. They need to relax a little.
 
I don't know, the Kings seemed pretty excited after their goals. I think both teams enjoy beating the other. They've played 50 times or whatever over like the last 5 years.

Yep. He can score goals but that's it.

That picture is a little dishonest to be honest. Theres a guy just off screen to Burns' right. While he should be boxing out Vinny in front of him, you can see his thinking here. It's not quite as simple as him getting down and tieing up Vinny, since that leaves the back door play open (which actually would have a better passing lane than Vinny thanks the Couture battle if Couture wasn't taking himself out of play). So yes ideally he should be positioned just in front of Vinny (with his stick free) but it's not the worst thing ever really. We also have no context of where the movement of the play has come from. Couture getting himself in a position where his stick is in the air there is nearly as bad a mistake, as now that opens up the passing lanes to the net.

The really bad part for Burns comes on the slow reaction he has after this picture. Once he saw the pass start to be made he needed to tie up Vinny. Vinny had multiple chances there when from that distance he should barely have gotten one if at all if Burns had reacted better.

Correct, there is a player on the back side. I posted two pics on twitter. Wider angle. Still makes an utter mess of it by not even putting a stick or body on Vinny standing RIGHT in front. Regardless of the guy on backside, he has to be putting pressure on 44 there. If the passer can hit Gabby from that position on a one timer, let em have it, too good. Play your odds, Burns did not. Poor read, poor defending from Burns. At least that's my view on it, welcome to disagree on that.

 
Defense is tough on a 6 on 5 situation. The pointman should be the open man and forwards should collapse a little to help with the high slot. Both Gabby and Vinny are in dangerous positions so both should be covered. Both Burns and whoever else is there should have communicated better.
 
Sutter's reaction is great. Haven't seen him this emotional in a long while.
Lol and I just noticed Kopi looking back for someone (Sutter?) and no one's there.
