thank God i'm not crazy. it's VERY noticeable once you know there's a pretty big difference. I've seen some feeds that were supposedly HD that looked almost standard def compared to the Canadian feeds.

I really wish the defensive pairings would be changed up for a few games just to see if they can find something that clicks a bit better. Petey has shuffled the forwards a bit this year on and off but I don't recall much being done with the defensive pairings. The Sharks have been treading...

it's also nice to see EK65 starting to gel a bit. My wife hated the trade (she loved Tierney) and has been giving me shit all season long and blames EK even if he's not on the ice just to get on my nerves. I kept telling her he'll get going about 1/4 of the way into the season - he just needs...

back to back shutouts by Dell =) he made a couple really nice saves in the process and also made that glorious poke check. Neither of these guys can wrangle rebounds though lol. it's almost comically bad at times.

No arguments about his lateral mobility being suspect but it's gotten that much WORSE. I can't believe they didn't go with Dell for a second game after he got a shutout. As you said, his positioning is even awful this year and because he's been so slow to recover he looks like a beached whale...

I'm hoping that shut out at least gets Dell a few consecutive shots at the gig and he runs away with it. Jones has looked AWFUL this year. I know some of it is probably a change in the pads, etc. since scoring is way up but Christ-in-a-handbasket he's been atrocious. I'm confident that in the...

the ice has looked awful at home. puck seems to be bouncing like a superball - a bit better last night but man it's looked like hell. That was a glorious snipe from Jumbo last night though - good lord i wish that man had shot more throughout his career here.

Anyone else ready to see Jones riding the bench and Dell becoming the full time starter? There's something really wrong with Jones this year. He's not tracking the puck at all. He was shitty in the preseason and he's been shitty so far in the regular season. I don't trust him back there at all.

Wilson must have some serious dirt on the Sens GM lol. What a job he's done fleecing that team this offseason.

or...it'll be like it is every UFA period where we get our hopes up (especially with the shitload of cap space this year) and he just continues to ignore the big names and re-sign what we have and draft. I'm trying to picture Burns and Karlsson running things on the PP and drool is congealed...

I guess since I'm not Canadian I don't understand their fascination with the Leafs. What a pity. I guess this frees DWil up to pay some retarded amount to bring back Joe for another year lol. Who else could/should they target now?

I'm guessing if he is going to have a shot at Tavares he's going to have to offer something ridiculous like 7 years at about 14 per. I think he'll ultimately stay with the Isles though.

no argument here. I still doubt that they'll get Tavares even if he does make a big pitch simply because I can't recall the last time a big name UFA came here unless it was a situation like Kane's where he was traded to the Sharks at the deadline and basically just re-signed instead of going to...

even if he doesn't end up with Tavares I thought that was a rather nice return overall. I really hope it's space he's clearing for Tavares and not Kovalchuk though.

i'm too lazy to see who else is due to be a UFA during those seasons but i'm guessing they have their minds on someone =) yeah, it's wonky..usually contracts either start small and finish big or vice versa. regardless, i knew he's stay in the bay - they usually do once they've played there...

Well, as I mentioned. Kane would go for over 6m per year. I'm not sold that he's worth 7m a year but he's young, meshed well with the team, scores, and plays with an edge which was something the Sharks have needed for the longest time. I wish he had signed for 6m but I'm not shocked one bit he...

well, 1/2 of the offseason is almost done as reports are that they're near a deal with Kane. Tavares up next?

Yeah he let in some absolutely atrocious goals and at times looked like he was stuck in mud. Honestly, this series could have easily been the Sharks in 5. That said, this team overall looked so much different than in years past and outside of a few stretches of lackadaisical sharks play of...

1.) I doubt he'd take that unfortunately. I'm betting whoever gets him will probably pay over 6m per for his services. UFA's are always overpayments and he will be no exception. The Sharks desperately need to bring him back though as he gelled really well with the team and actually brought an...

you can't pin the entire series on Hertl when he's been one of the most involved (in a good way) and productive members on this team. It was his fault that Burns stopped playing his man and Jones was basically standing up waiting for the clock to run out when they popped one in with :03 to go...

hopefully....but it won't be the Sharks from the look of it

i nearly lost my shit when Jones let in that first goal last night. He looked slow af, like he had had some edibles before the game. Man, they've needed a guy like Kane for all those playoff flameouts. Dude is hitting, shooting, and hustling...did I mention he actually hits people...

I think one of the biggest reasons that he stayed so long is that the Sharks rarely sign any big UFA's (outside of their own) so despite all the negativity that seemed to follow him around they knew you could slot him in there for 25g (or more) each season. I can't hate on a guy who scored 500+...

my wife and I were screaming at the TV last night that they did absolutely NOTHING to put him, or someone else on the Oilers on their ass. For us the tipping point was when he laid out Couture and still the Sharks did zilch. That was one of the worst games I've ever seen them play from start...
