GDT: Sharks vs Sabres in Buffalo 4:30pm PDT

[sr228]

yes its never the players fault. Hannan sucks like Irwin does.

This just can't be said enough.

Both players pinch aggressively (mostly because it's part of the Sharks forecheck / system), sometimes they pinch when they shouldn't or are indecisive but they both miss the puck at times and don't have the foot speed to get back and help when it inevitably ends up an odd man rush the other way.

The biggest difference between the two right now is that the pucks are going in the net when Irwin is on the ice, they haven't as often (yet) with Hannan on the ice.

Neither should be in the line up.

Also, Demers played that horribly.

 

[Alwalys]

Oh and Grosenick should not have gotten the start. Sure he played well last game but playing him was basically setting him up to fail.
That's part of the not taking Buffalo seriously. They would never have done that against a decent team.

 

[Coily]

I leave it's 0-0 I come back it's 3-1

Hannan sucks like Irwin does.

they both should be off this team. Add Burish to that.

This game is eerily similar/a copy of the first meeting. Very little attack from the sabres but they are en route to victory.

 

[jakeytown]

Ah, Demers...

Thats exactly how I read the situation. Demers should have been positioning himself to try to prevent a pass, as any defensemen should in that situation the vast majority of the time. However, nope. Both Irwin and Demers sucked big time on that one.

They both suck all the time

 

[Timo Time]

Does this mean we'll beat Buffalo when we're a last place team and they're competing for playoff spots?

 

[boylerroom]

The plan is coming together.

Lose ten straight.

Trade for hall of famer.

Whahaahaha.

 

[do0glas]

When I'm watching buffalo, I think to myself "these guys are pretty meh". Never makes sense to me.

 

[stator]

Oh, here's the Sharks world class assistant coach being interviewed by another world class dude, Jamie Baker.

This is just getting better, and better.

Whahaahaha.

Plot twist.

The player we get is already in the HOF.

 

[Bizz]

Konrad up please.

I'd like to see Fedun personally, but literally anybody is a better choice than Irwin right now.

 

[WTFetus]

Demers played that 2-on-1 terribly, but man was that a dumb move by Irwin.

 

[SJSharks42]

The players are predictable at this point. We know what we are doing to get from them vs these teams. At this point if the coaches are not compensating for that, they are failing.

Scott Hannan and Tye McGinn are not the solution you're looking for. It's baffling that you'd even think they'd make a noticeable upgrade at all.

Whahaahaha.

The race for McDavid. Sharks are playing to draft.

Completely agree, though McGinn is a decent sized upgrade over Burish.

I do think the solution could very well be in Worcester right now though.

 

[do0glas]

New lines?

 

[Coily]

New lines?

The answer to our problems...

I'd be okay with Fedun too but I'm a little biased towards the German.

Eh, I'm not seeing McGinn as an upgrade over anyone right now. He hasn't done anything when he plays. Would rather have Hayes in over both of them.

I'd like Hayes as well. McGinn hasn't done much and is pretty unproven, but Burish is proven useless.

Burish is just a drag on everyone he plays with, at least McGinn has decent hands and can help a bit when the play is in the offensive zone.

I'd rather have Hayes or Hamilton in over both of them as well.

 

[hohosaregood]

I have to reiterate. I miss the days when Sharks goals.

 

[Timo Time]

Buffalo on the brink of a win streak. They're so hot right now.

 

[do0glas]

These lines...

Kennedy-Marleau-shep? Wut

Wingels-cooch-nieto...kinda get
