For Detroit Glendening was assigned to the AHL. Samuelsson will most likely fill his spot in the line up.

 

[Cobiemonster]

I'm still trying to get used to the East/West thing - this is the only time they play each other in Detroit this season

Burns out Hamilton inn

Burns out Hamilton inn

No Burns, no Boyle, no Havlat, no Torres for the Sharks and no Kronwall or Ericsson for Detroit. This should be interesting.

What happened to Burns?

What happened to Burns?

McLellan's quote:

Brent won’t play tonight. He got hit in the teeth – well, he doesn’t have teeth, I guess in the gums – the other night, and they are bothering him right now,” Todd McLellan said. “He’ll be out tonight, and hopefully he’s ready to go when we get to Boston.

McLellan's quote:

Yeah, my daughter was trying to explain what happened to him and it didn't make sense. LOL.
Hopefully not a concussion....

 

[MrChangoT97]

Keep the winning ways going. Gonna be tough with no Burns, but we should be fine. Hamilton will have a nice first performance tonight.

got a good feeling Hertl & Hamilton will have good nights.

LeTs Go SHARKS!!!!! :horn:

lot of empty seats in Detroit lately....

Can the James Sheppard experiment be over now?

 

[Slimpikins]

Cheeky spin move there by Hamilton. Didn't have the angle but i like the effort.


Dumb penalty by Sheppard.

 

[Slimpikins]

Niemi pulled a Kipper and kicked up the leg pad late. Nice save to claim the extra point.

 

[Mr. Teal]

Normally I loathe the shootout because there's no more boring way to end a game but Niemi robbing Bertuzzi like that was pretty bad ass.

It's a shame to follow up the greatness of a shutout at the Joe with Ray Fatto's sextuple chin blubbering nonsense.

There was a brief moment when I thought he was awesome with that "Just win the game" line but that was because I was frustrated with the Sharks playoff ineptitude. History has proven that Ray is as he has always been: a jerk.

 

[MrChangoT97]

Hey another win

Niemi with the save of the night on Bertuzzi. "Kick save and a beauty"

Couture with the lone SO Goal

To be honest Zets was holding Sheppard's stick. Refs made the wrong call.

That was a really bad call by the official. 4th line played a solid game tonight.

Yeah, I saw that in a replay. Smart play by Zetterberg, unfortunately.

Think the plan was to sit him for Hamilton, before Burns was scratched.
I like the forward depth this season, so they can bench him if he doesn't play well. He's taken some bad penalties, although the one on him tonight was a bad call.
