GDT: Vancouver Canucks at San Jose Sharks - 11/06/14 7:30 PST - 'Never Forget' Edition

Yup, free agent goalie we should have signed comes up big, free agent winger we should have signed scores, and prospect we wasted on crappy depth also scores.

Captain Hindsight is here.

unlike someone we know

Dat angle on the first goal

 

[Levie]

In the first two periods. But that third period, especially in the second half, the team couldn't make a single pass.

It's concerning because weak 3rd periods have been a problem for a couple years now. I'm not sure who to blame, coaching? conditioning? players? luck?

Actually they passed too much. Nieto, Demers and Thornton all passed up prime shots for cute passes.

You don't need hindsight to know trading for Travis Moen & Kent Huskins is a bad idea.

I have to say, Hertl is looking much more engaged since being moved to the third line. Looks like breaking him off JT wing was the right move, at least to get him back to playing the way he did last year.

 

[Led Zappa]

and sharks go on a 7 game losing streak

You're like the Anti-Hertl, fun must be never

Years ago. Bonino isn't here. Sharks fans need to move on.

 

[CanadienShark]

haha I win a SNOG. Thank you all and good night! lol

I read a few people calling you out and you had such a half-assed response... but you were right.

That's pretty much this board after a loss. A 3-2 loss in November is the end of the world.

In-zone they overpass, but on breakouts and neutral zone play they couldn't make a routine pass most of the third. Part of that is due to Vancouver's passive neutral zone clogging, but on the other hand the sharks coaching staff had no idea how to combat it. Yeah the players couldn't execute well, but the staff didn't offer an effective counter strategy and ultimately I think that's where the problem is.

If at all possible, I try not to use my full ass. It's far too large.

It's bad hindsight to say we should've signed Ryan Miller though.

You're right. There is plenty of time to come back...

But 7-5-2 is not good enough.

It was almost a given that even with the offseason, we're a better side than the Canucks... Yet they are sitting at 10-4-0.

Also two forecheckers making life miserable for the defense.

Canucks are a team that are going to fade in the second half of the season. Their scoring pace will cool off eventually.

Fine. trade Bonino for literally anything else

Not being here during a Sharks game actually feels liberating. It might actually make losses more enjoyable, since the first posts I read in here seemed to be holding grudges.

It sucks the Sharks lost, but I appreciated that effort. They were peppering the net with shots and Miller came up huge.

On to Dallas.

Haven't we've been saying the same thing about the Ducks the last few seasons?

Agreed, but their username isn't Hertl

Reactions today weren't as bad as some of the other losses and undeserved wins from some of the earlier games.

Same with literally every board. You should see the Habs after every loss...

I don't know the very first post I read when I clicked on the thread talked about the kent huskins and Travis moan trade. Wasn't that like 5 years ago?

I compared the Sharks to the 49ers today, coming off a long layoff. I was pissed after the 49er game, not so much tonight. Kind of wish SAP would have pulled a Staples Center on the clock though so that goal would have counted. Oh well.

Never want to use full ass unless necessary. It's kind of like playing ****** (no pun intended) players instead of good players. You don't want to use all your good players, otherwise you might... win regularly...
