I'd like to believe that it's not PDB thoughts on Heed vs Ryan, but rather DW's marketing of Heed.

When Vlasic comes back, he better have his shit squared away. He has $7M excellent reasons this season to have it together. If not, I'd trade Vlasic now and not wait to the off-season. Karlsson is a much bigger Shark to land than Vlasic. And without that $7M/yr, Karlsson is much more affordable.

It's obvious he has a problem with Karlsson, but not EK65 himself. It's probably pride of not being a defacto 3rd line pairing with Braun because of Karlsson and Burns' lines.

MEV had problems when he was on the de facto 1st pair with EK 65, so I am not sure that is it. Not sure that diminishing his ice time has deepened the funk and resulted in worse play.

At this point you have to hope he plays through his funk, or maybe just leave him out to push him over the edge to waive and try to trade him before the TDL.

I have to say I'm surprised Braun's coming back before Vlasic.
It really didn't look that serious when Vlasic fell down. Interesting...

It’s all a cover. Pickle sales are declining so the family called him back to help right the ship. It’d why he sucks on the ice, the stress of performing while also trying to keep his family’s empire afloat

Braun said after he got injured that it was just a tweak and he would be back soon but he was on IR so he couldn't be activated until yesterday.

Towel market is more stable than the cucumber market, so Braun is back at practice after helping with HIS OWN family business.

Well, in fitting with Pickles play this season, Vlasic pickles suck. Claussen pickles are far better which should be spelled with a "K" and not a "C". And of course, two S's are better than one. ;)

Well he's not even the best pickle on the team. Burns and Karlson are definitely the "Bread and Butter" of the sharks D now.

5-1 Sharks

Looking for some folks to get off their streaks of ineptitude in goal scoring. Timo and Labanc with some goals tonight.
