GDT: Sharks @ Kings 7:00pm Game 2 of the Balcers era

[Doctor Soraluce]

Nhl.com says 25. I am going to trust the actual leagues numbers over a 3rd party one.

GF collumn says 28.

Patrick Marleau brought his big boy offensive pants today.

 

[Tw1ster]

Juicy gettin hawt

 

[Karl Prime]

Now that's a good hockey goal!

 

[hohosaregood]

I think that's Knyzhov's first NHL point.

 

[bluefunnel]

Just joining this game, Balcers name is pronounced Ball-sers? I ain't down for this pronunciation, waive him

As always, you have to listen to how Rusanowsky pronounces it before you can make a decision.

Yay a Randy blown call. It's our comfort food at this point lol.

ESPN says 28. Actually so does NHL.com... What are you looking at? Refresh your browser dude...

I think that 28 is counting the "goal" for winning a shootout.

If you manually add up goals scored and discount SO ones it's 25.

1/14 vs Ari = 3 +1 for SO
1/16 vs Ari = 3 (total 6)
1/18 vs Stl = 4 ( total 10)
1/20 vs Stl = 1 (total 11) + 1 for SO
1/22 vs Min = 1 (total 12)
1/24 vs Min = 5 (total 17)
1/26 vs Col = 3 (total 20)
1/28 vs Col = 0
2/5 vs Ana = 4 (total 24) + 1 for SO
2/6 vs ana = 1 (total 25)

That's 25, or 28 if you wrongly count the shootout "goals" on the final scoresheet in the Goals For column.

 

[Dicdonya]

Not sure who to thank, but someone finally got these guys to start passing with a purpose. Looks night and day different today

 

[TheBeard]

Kings first period is how the Sharks second period usually looks

 

[Tw1ster]

Yay a Randy blown call. It's our comfort food at this point lol.

I like how the feed shows the king and ref arguing about it while the ref is signalling high stick and Randy still had no f***ing clue haha

That's really odd. Why the discrepancy across multiple sites like that? The GAA is wrong on that link too. Sharks have scored 28 before this game. That page you're looking at hasn't been updated for some reason. The results from the last game aren't entered.

Playing against a porous, inexperienced, horrible defense will do that.

Obligatory mention that the Sharks really should never have moved Marleau to the wing.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

Who are these guys that we are watching? Looks like a completely different team.

Sharks team playing an AHL squad.

Gregor can learn a lot watching and playing with Marleau as I'm sure they will share center duties while they're out there.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Well yea we usually play well the first period. It's the second period thay scares me.

 

[hohosaregood]

We've had good 1st periods. They're heinously bad in 2nd and 3rd periods for the most part.

Both the NHL and ESPN are counting that in the GF total though. Why would both choose to calculate it with those goals if you're saying they don't count toward the total?

 

[tiburon12]

Say what you will about the rest of the Kings D, but Doughty is kidding himself if he thinks he is Olympic material.

 

[The Nemesis]

Yeah, and they shouldn't. Because it's not really a goal in the traditional sense. It's possible that whoever or whatever they've set up to record goals for is just scraping box score results and adding them up without looking at context.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

That they are rebuilding.....

And what exactly about this off-season suggested that the Sharks were really going for it??

Consequences of winning cups? Paid their core post-cup and now they mostly suck.

Yep. A recent (at least more than La) conference championship is chopped liver.

How the hell does juicy have six goals
