GDT: Preseason game 2: Sharks vs. Ducks 7pm stream on sharks.nhl.com

[Alaskanice]

Walman picking up points. Evens and PP. nice.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That was too much offensive zone time for the Ducks.

 

[coooldude]

Woof, gotta be a 2 minute shift for Zetterlund there. Smith line hemmed in, not getting much help from Hache/Rutta but that was ugly.

We saw that too much last year.

The dumpsters were added in 97 when the staff had to get rid of all of those Ed Belfour Sharks jerseys and shirseys that they printed, and they've been here ever since.

then its ok

 

[TheBeard]

Oh yeah. Goodrow isn’t as good as I thought

Hache and Keane had one or two opportunities to clear that they flubbed and turned over.

 

[fasterthanlight]

ticketmaster's commercial is so funny, i don't think any players they name are on the team anymore

 

[one2gamble]

Oh yeah. Goodrow isn’t as good as I thought

Wait, you thought he was good

 

[Juxtaposer]

Good first impression of Walman as well.

 

[hohosaregood]

walman as a PP trigger should be fun this season.

 

[bluefunnel]

Oh yeah. Goodrow isn’t as good as I thought

He's there to regale Smith and the other youngins with stories of Sharks past, not to be good.

 

[hohosaregood]

PP2 definitely should've scored

 

[OrrNumber4]

Bystedt not making good reads on the PP.

 

[TheBeard]

The second half of that PP was as good as the first half was bad.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That is one of the most exciting Power Plays in a preseason game you will ever see.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Thompson, Bystedt, and Gushchin had something cooking there. Top Cuda unit?

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Gushchin and Bystedt with some chemistry there.

 

[TheBeard]

Wait, you thought he was good

My expectations may have been a tad optimistic.

 

[one2gamble]

The sharks have to many of basically the same players

 

[OrrNumber4]

As much as we talk about Celebrini/Smith/Eklund, we should focus on Zetterlund as well. He's going to get big minutes and has a chacne to seize them.

 

[Munnyro]

I wish we didn't grab as many bottom 6 vets. I get it. It'd be nice to see GooseChin, Cardwell, etc get real long looks.

 

[OrrNumber4]

There's a spot for Gushchin on the wing. He needs to beat out a couple of guys, but the spot is available.

 

[Hodge]

I wish we didn't grab as many bottom 6 vets. I get it. It'd be nice to see GooseChin, Cardwell, etc get real long looks.

If they can’t beat out the likes of Kostin and Grundstrom what does that say about them?

 

[mogambomoroo]

Zetterlund is interesting player, I think he could be a solid long term complimentary player for the top 6. I believe that with the top 6 of Celebrini, Smith, Toffoli, Eklund, Zetterlund and Granlund we could be at least respectable offensively this year.
