AP Preview​

 

[Slimpikins]

That is an interesting line up. Is that what you want it to be or how you think they will be?

I wouldn't mind seeing players who are half assing it be knocked down a couple of lines.

Aslo can we leave Huskins in the press box and let Braun have some more time? I know he is pretty terrible on D but I really like his offense.

The forward lines are matched according to what they've been for the majority of the last two games. I put them in order according to which line averaged the most ice time in the 3rd period of last game.

On defense, with Murray coming back, I'm just guessing that it's Braun that will be out of the line-up. I'll update it if DP's blog says something else.

 

[Destroydacre]

Even with Wallin and Huskins in there, Sharks should win this one.


Come on guys, play strong for 60 and put a 3 game win streak together.

They've only had one 3 game winning streak thus far this season. Time to get on a roll as the injured players are coming back.

 

[SJVP408]

I'd like to see Vlasic with Demers. I thought they were a good pairing when they were together due to injuries. Allowing Vlasic to have the option to pass to Demers and let Demers handle the breakout was a good safety valve for Vlasic. Much like how he utilized Blake.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Murray still out per DP.

Haha, shows how much I pay attention.

fuck dish network

I 2nd that quote! But I give Chater Cable the TWO middle finger "fuck you" salute. I have only been able to see a Shark game on tv, when its only on the versus channel. Sure I go to around 25 home games, but I want to see my Sharks on TV. Its been crazy for the last two years, and all I can do is watch the game on the computer. I still can't believe the Sharks organization is letting this happen to all the fans that are missing shark games on tv. Damn you Charter Cable, and now Dish Network.



Ugh, now I'm pissed off.............. sharks better WIN!

You know - that brings up a question for the crew here:

My dad lives in the Santa Ynez valley... which means he is 240 miles South of San Jose and about 185 miles north of L.A. - even more for Anaheim.

Why in the name of "Zeus' butthole" are Sharks games blacked out in his area? This makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!! No local businesses are losing his business and it sure doesn't make him more of a fan... which would translate to him buying Sharks crap at the NHL store.

He has Dish Network with the NHL package... and I just dont get this.

Get DirecTV. That's about all I can say.

Yeah.. oh well.

GO SHARKS! Glad to see Nitty in net. Hopefully Patty is on an upswing with his mood...

 

[caliraftdude]

Boyle! Awesome keep in.

PP didn't start very well, but I really liked the pressure and the good work at keeping the puck in play.

 

[Slimpikins]

Nice hit Boyle!


Well interference really, but I liked it none the less.

 

[rares]

I missed the first 5 minutes or so of that first period but what I have seen has been some pretty unwatchable boring shit...

Going back to playing WoW instead...

lol. Play at the end of the PP and afterward was pretty good - but other than that its been bg for me as well.

I tried out WoW and was super paranoid that my OCD would take over and I would wake up 5 years from now wondering what the hell happened. I couldn't get into it.. I felt like I was an errand boy for a bunch of lazy fictional characters. Each their own I suppose.

 

[rares]

Yeah, no worries... I know what you mean. I've been playing for many years but only a couple nights a week at most. New expansion just came out so checking it all out and stuff. Not really addicted to it or anything.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Dear Santa,

Please make Kent Huskins stop sucking so much.

Thank You.

You tuning out is usually a good indicator that the Sharks will start to play well. It seems like whenever you throw in the towel, they score just to spite you!

So uhhh....thanks in advance.
