Let's end 2010 with the first 4 game winning streak of the year. Haven't seen the Yotes play this year. Is it still clog the middle of the ice and bore the opponent to sleep?

As long as Tippett is the coach.

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Line-up editted. Murray is back in the line-up and Niemi is starting in net.

 

[Slimpikins]

If Murray plays like he did last time he came back from an injury I will be a happy fan.

God I hope they don't mail it in. They have a history of mailing it in right before a break...


LET'S GO SHARKS!!! (yes that includes you too Patty, Heater, Thornton and Vlasic)

 

[MrFlyingV]

What is wrong with Comcast tonight? The sound is all effed up.

 

[filosofy29]

Wow, what a sequence of saves by Labarbara.....especially on Seto. I love how calm Demers is with the puck.....wow, a rare miss on an open net by Logan Couture.

 

[filosofy29]

Lazy turnover by the new West Coast Expense line but a better save by Niemi.

 

[filosofy29]

Hahahahaha, methinks Clowe is gonna try and have a go with Jovo later this game. Great save through traffic by Niemi.

 

[li0lsh]

Niemi is playing??



Cant watch tonight but will have game cast on

 

[filosofy29]

Bad call on Jovo. He just won the battle due to size. Hopefully the Sharks can take advantage.

 

[filosofy29]

I'm so sick of the lazy line getting all of the PP time. What absolute BS!

 

[filosofy29]

Wow, Clowe's game has hit a new level now that he's been paired with Couture. What a move there.

 

[MrFlyingV]

Holy Cow! Couture's father has the same front teeth!!

 

[filosofy29]

Wow, already the 3rd delay of game penalty against the Yotes.

 

[filosofy29]

Does Joe Thornton not have a "shoot" button? WTF???!!!

 

[filosofy29]

and Whitney delivers a dagger. Sharks need to respond here.

And now the Coyotes will start their boa constrictor hold.....

 

[rares]

Niemi did his best Nabby impersonation with that 5-hole there.

 

[filosofy29]

Labarbara is playing the game of his life right now. Doan is all fired up.....may have drawn a pair.

 

[filosofy29]

Niemi did his best Nabby impersonation with that 5-hole there.

That was a bad PK though, Niemi read the play well and had to push across strong there just in case Whitney went upstairs on the far side.
