AP Preview​

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Sharks line-up has been edited. It appears it's now Thornton's turn to center the two offensive blackholes.

 

[Cbrower91]

Wow who did Joe piss off to get that assignment lol. That's almost as bad as being sent to the AHL

 

[MacJ88]

I will be in attendance tonight, my first game of the season! Man it was so much easier when I lived in Fremont, now I'm all the way out in butt-fuck Tracy. Ready to hit the road and hit the bars, go SHARKIES!!!

Woot! I'll be there too. Plan to be wasted by end of the first in case the sharks lay an egg.. Not sure how i'll get back to Oakland, but who cares...

Go Sharks!

 

[li0lsh]

I'll be at the game. Sure will be a doozy

Can't really say he didn't deserve it after watching him loaf through the last game.

 

[SJVP408]

Demers owns the Hammer there.

 

[SJVP408]

Damn. Braun got literally pushed off the puck. Tied

 

[rares]

ROFL @ Niemi... Suck less, please!

 

[Cmon_WTF]

How has Boyle not been credited with like 9 turnovers? Good grief he looks terrible.

 

[SJVP408]

Lucky whistle. On a play like that, the whistle had no bearing on the effort of the players on the ice. They should make the early whistle be reversible.

 

[SJVP408]

I think the odd lines have to do with Marleau being demoted.

 

[Cbrower91]

watching a hapless Niemi on swimming around on the ice reminds me a lot of El Floppo Steve Shields

 

[SJS944]

Hmm you can slide better on your skates? Someone tell Niemi that. Think we can all thank the refs for their Christmas present even if the Sharks barely accepted it.

 

[ads_2006]

YYYYEAAAAAAH CLOWE

Had to watch the Chicago feed (fuck you dish network) but their announcers are pretty good to listen to. Not much homerism at all

 

[SJVP408]

Goal!!!!

Has Vlasic ever made a better pass in his career?

 

[rares]

Crawford basically out-sucked Niemi (unless that OT winner deflected off Keith's skate) and the Sharks stole 2 points.

 

[SJVP408]

I was going to make a comment about how Vlasic's best outlet play is to give it to Demers and he sets up the GWG. Clowe did a great job shooting while handcuffed a bit.

 

[rares]

But anyway, since I used to give Clowe a lot of crap for being lazy and not caring, I've got to do the right thing and give him props for having a good game and scoring some nice goals out there... So, yeah, good job Clowe! It's good to have you pick up the slack (and more) while the "superstars" continue to struggle.
