GDT: Sharks vs. Red Wings: Robocop Edition, 7:30 PM PST, CSN-CA

[Gene Parmesan]

Maybe he never had it, but it just feels like Thornton has lost the urge to be aggressive. It goes back to the 2 on 1 earlier. He's going at like 1 mile per hour and is afraid to do anything with the puck. I don't get why he is playing this way. I know he likes to Pass, but come on man, SHOOT THE PUCK every once in a while.

Hes been very good. He just needs to shoot the ****in puck.

 

[SnarkAttack]

Is Joe Thornton having the worst game of his season tonight? Man he looks slow and disinterested. What is going on with him?

I feel like you've watched 2 or 3 plays based off of that assessment

Hedican: "I can't hear a thing. I don't know why I'm behind the glass." (a little embellished, yes)

He's 34 and has been in the league for 16 years, he's not going to change.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Huh?

Ok, Disinterested sounds harsh, but slow, most definitely.

 

[dwood16]

How did Havlat become the worst ****ing player ever?

 

[The Nemesis]

What happens first? We score 3 goals in a game or Hawks lose in regulation.

the heavens open up and Maurice Richard descends to earth in a pillar of light to give JT the death-glare and scream at him to shoot. In French. Which Joe doesn't understand. But he gets the point anyway because really:

if that doesn't say "I will ****ing murder you if you don't do what I say" in every language, I don't know what does.

 

[bluefunnel]

At least he shot that time.

 

[SnarkAttack]

Holy shot, he shot it.

 

[SignThornton]

arghhhhhhhh good buzz

 

[SHAR KS]

You have to score there.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Almost..man Gustaffson is wild in goal.

 

[JodyShelleysNo1Fan]

Now Thornton wont shoot again for awhile. Every time he shoots, he's getting robbed.

 

[crunchyblack*]

Can irwin just stay in the lineup permenately please?

 

[Mrs Ski]

Just waiting for disaster to strike...

 

[HOOCH2173]

jesus christ! do the Sharks practice puck awareness in practice at all?! geez...

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Can irwin just stay in the lineup permenately please?

He has definitely looked good today. Seems very sure of his decisions.

 

[SnarkAttack]

Can irwin just stay in the lineup permenately please?

No.

Love,
Todd McLellan

 

[Linkster]

Pronouncing "Tatar" really vexes me. I am vexed.

It should sound like "tater," as in "tater tot."

 

[dwood16]

Sheppard needs some linemates that can actually play

It's official. Galiardi's game vs the Avs was a fluke.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That was offside?

 

[zombie kopitar]

Randy really does love Datsyuk, if he was ever a Shark it would be the bromance of bromances

 

[SJSharksfan39]

That play on the boards reminded me of the game where I think it was the flyers who were just waiting in their defensive end for a long time against the Lightning last year. i thought they blew plays like that dead after a while.

 

[SignThornton]

Now Thornton wont shoot again for awhile. Every time he shoots, he's getting robbed.

They're good shots to. This one he should've got up a little higher but was still a decent shot. The last game in OT it should've been a goal and he was robbed.

 

[Sharkway Drive]

It's probably been addressed already but I just got home. Does anyone else hear the screaming lady from the telecast? She's driving me nuts.
