Why was the Sharks broadcast team so upset Kadri wouldn’t fight last night?

[The Hanging Jowl]

Even if it wasn't - it happened a year ago and it was at most kind of a punk thing to do but not a huge "code violation". Seriously - Thornton wants to go around looking like a ****ing wizard you have to expect some of the pukes in the league to go after it.

The Sharks took themselves out of the game and gave the Leafs at least two PPs while negating one they would have gotten going after Kadri. Defending their stupidity because Kadri is a "punk" is stupid. Deboer is stupid. Goodrow is stupid. Meier is stupid. The whole thing was stupid. It's not the 70s.

I literally just LOL'd in a restaurant reading your wizard line. Thanks, I have tear rolling down my cheek.

 

[Cleetus]

haha Kadri had them so messed up last night, they were to busy going after him, than the leafs used there speed and skill, and earned 2 points! what a win!

Yes of course, I'm sure Naz was just minding his own business playing a clean, quiet game when the big bad sharks started antagonizing him.

This thread is dumb.

Watch the game before you comment.

Opening draw Sharks were all over him.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Kadri has dropped the gloves with Backes twice as well as fought Thornton, both guys who have big height and weight advantages.

Marchand only fights guys like Stamkos and Ribeiro.

Pretty clear who the ***** is here

Marchand is 5'9 if that. Comparing apples to oranges doesn't work typically.

Kadri is closer to Backes (2"?) than Marchand is to nearly any NHL player (not that players even challenge him, baffling I might add). Thornton is a non fighter.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Knowing Kadri, I suspect he did something dirty behind the play or spent all his time trying to piss off the other team.

People usually don't like that.

People also don't usually like when people throw out their speculation without actually knowing what they're talking about, but you don't seem to mind. The Sharks went after Kadri right from the puck drop over the Thornton incident from the last year

 

[Leafidelity]

Sharks embarrassed themselves top to bottom last night. I hope they choose revenge over winning again next time we play.

 

[Bank Shot]

Everyone wants to watch a good Kadri beating.
Can't wait until the next one personally.

 

[Advanced stats]

The (I would think) reputable hockeyfights website lists 7 since around 2013.

The also reputable dropyourgloves website lists 8 in the last 3 seasons and 11 since 2013.

 

[quacktastic93]

One of those faces? What does that even mean?

You know exactly what that means

 

[Pinkfloyd]

They went after Kadri for his nonsense to start the game last year and since the two don't meet often enough to take care of that business earlier, they tried it tonight. Of course Kadri wasn't going to go for it because he's only going to go with someone he can either take or someone that is more important to the other team than him. DeBoer and the Sharks should've known that. If they wanted to take care of that business, they should've just ran the guy regardless of whether he wanted to fight and dealt with the consequences instead of letting it linger on and talk about it.

Doesn't seem reputable. It lists one of the '3' last season as him turtling against Weber.

This is what I saw happen.

Honestly I didn’t really even notice the PBP getting that upset. San Jose usually has great broadcasts.

what did he do before the opening faceoff exactly? I missed it

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

This was bush league shit from the Sharks all around. You don’t start a 4th liner against their current #2C in order to get him to fight unless you’re entirely certain that he will. This set a tone right from the opening faceoff: That the Sharks were more concerned with fighting than winning.

In my opinion, this entire game should be the final nail in the coffin for Peter DeBoer’s tenure as Sharks coach. We’re in 2018 and this moron started his 4th line LW at #3C in between his 3rd line LW and RW in order to try and send a message. Absurd.

With that said, Kadri is a punk ass bitch, and I would have felt no remorse for him even if he got jumped. He has slipped away from punishment way too many times in this league!

What exactly does DeBoer do? It seems like the Sharks players have free rein on the ice. They have a stupid amount of talent but they get kind of sloppy and lackadaisical with their plays at times. I would love to see them hire AV if they fire DeBoer, assuming AV still wants to coach.

Cheap hits, dives, has one of those faces, the list doesn't really end for that guy.

I mean...you just gave three reasons and then ended your list...

This response is dumb. It's been addressed but come on. At least check the box score there, champ.

Teams are free to go after Kadri for whatever made up perceived slight they want. The Leafs will make you pay for it. And they did.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Didnt kadri run over andersen like 3 years ago...

We havnt forgot.... gunna send Aberg after him...not gunna get out of california without justice being served

 

[BayStreetBully]

Why are the Sharks so mad, anyway? Kadri did Thornton a favor.

The Leafs winning last night really had nothing to do with these opening faceoff antics. Sharks are just too aggressive for their own good and when they turn the puck over, it ends up in an odd-man rush against. They played their game regardless of all this stuff. Toronto was given too many good chances by the Sharks and capitalized. That's all there is to it. One doesn't have anything to do with the other.

I mean - they scored on the PP they got from it (or at least as time expired on it). Kind of odd to say that it had nothing to do with anything.

It was a fluke bounce. It's not like it was momentum generated by Kadri saying no to a fight. The Sharks came back and took the lead in the same period. They lost for reasons that had nothing to do with that stuff.

As mentioned - they scored roughly 1-2 seconds after the Goodrow penalty ended. Whether or not that was a deciding factor or not it still swung in the Leafs favour almost instantly.

Fluke goal...definitely...but it was still likely as a result of having had the extra man.

Once again - they gave up 2 PPs (one of which led to a goal), negated a PP and instead went 4 on 4 on another (if I recall the Leafs also scored on that 4 on 4 but I may be mistaken?). How is that not an impact? Who cares if the Sharks came back? There are very few goals scored in any given game - the Leafs needed 4 to win, and because the Sharks were stupid from the moment rubber hit ice, they got one of the 4 they needed.

So I'd say it had - at minimum - a 25% impact on the Leafs win.

Edit: Nope - I wasn't wrong. Kapanen's first goal came on the 4 on 4 (which should have been a Sharks PP).

They're probably still mad that he pulled too hard on Big Joe's beard and removed him of part of it last year.
