....And Goodrow and Karlsson.It’s insane that Donskoi is scratched over Haley.
The schedule certainly sucks for West coast teams, but that's no excuse for the effort they put forth at home, in a razor close race, vs a non playoff team.Hopefully we see a better effort tonight since the road opponent wasn't waiting 4 days in SJ for the Sharks while they travelled 3 times and played 2 games.
Stupid ass, inexcusable schedule making.
They looked dead after the 1st. No legs whatsoever. The 5 pp's Florida was given before the 2nd was even over also didn't help.The schedule certainly sucks for West coast teams, but that's no excuse for the effort they put forth at home, in a razor close race, vs a non playoff team.
If let's say, Radil, was in over him on the 4th line I don't think you'd see the same outrage. It's that we have a 4th line that really struggles to create scoring chances, and a guy who literally brings nothing to the ice besides being an enforcer, is in over a player with clearly more skill in every facet of the game.....And Goodrow and Karlsson.
Donskoi is scratched because he's underperforming and the coaching staff is fed up. They gave him a lot longer of a leash than someone like Radil got.
Pavelski and Couture need to start producing more, too.
I agree, but right or wrong the coaching staff is sending a message. Hopefully it lights a fire under his butt.If let's say, Radil, was in over him on the 4th line I don't think you'd see the same outrage.

Granted Donskoi has been struggling. But he should be given time on the 4th line to get it together. It did wonders for him and the 4th line last time he was demoted to the 4th. 27-23-68 is actually a pretty decent 4th line.
The Sharks are fully healthy at forward and Haley is still in the lineup. If the Sharks have an injury we're gonna see Haley as a regular in the playoffs because Deboer likes him better than Radil and Gambrell. So much for Haley's only gonna play against physical teams and be the 13th forward. We really could see him in the playoff lineup.
I like Gambrell, but he hasn't done anything when given the chance to warrant more playing time.The Sharks are fully healthy at forward and Haley is still in the lineup.

Haley in over Donskoi. Wow. I just can’t even.
Stupid. Just stupid.
Anyway, go Sharks
Karlsson was our best forward against Florida.Radil Suomela Donskoi would be better than the 4th line we're icing tonight
