AP Preview​

 

[Slimpikins]

I am hoping for a chippy, rough and tumble game tonight. Don't care about the points so much as I would like to see some physicality.

Yes. I want to see a pissed off Sharks team. Whether it's from the Stars pissing them off or last night's loss.

 

[Cbrower91]

No they will come out and mope because that's how sharks respond to adversity

Exactly. This should be a barn burner, for the Stars. There will come a point during an intermission when McLellan will have to storm into the room and fire a chair or a foot stool at a wall, proceeded by tearing them to shreds as loudly as possible, as a last resort for this team.

 

[Cbrower91]

I wonder if Demers is going to have one of those baby harnesses attached to him and Tmac so he doesnt make any stupid pinches.

That being said i hope tmac doesnt try and reign him in to much and ruin his development

 

[Slimpikins]

No they will come out and mope because that's how sharks respond to adversity

Probably, but it only takes a good cheap shot or two to turn a game ugly. I really miss the Sharks Ducks match ups from a few years back.

 

[filosofy29]

Huskey Pants is back in there. Joslin is out.

 

[Slimpikins]

Extended two man (bad call) take advantage boys.

 

[filosofy29]

Why doesn't Joe Thornton shoot that puck in that situation???

 

[Slimpikins]

Seto still plays for this team? Nice pass by Pavs.

 

[Cbrower91]

Why doesn't tmac bench thornton,marleau, and heatley on that pp and put couture out there with clowe,palveski,boyle and demers?

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Why doesn't tmac bench thornton,marleau, and heatley on that pp and put couture out there with clowe,palveski,boyle and demers?

I was asking the same question. I'd would have prefered to see Couture and Clowe with Seto up front on that PP.

 

[shrksfn9192]

Another Sharks' specialty - giving up goals late in a period. Dallas scores on their first PP.

 

[filosofy29]

My damn tv has the game blocked out.

 

[shrksfn9192]

My damn tv has the game blocked out.

I wish mine did too, just leaving the option of listening to Rusanowsky make another somber call.

 

[Slimpikins]

My damn tv has the game blocked out.

If missing the Sharks game has you thirsting for ineptitude you could always switch it over to the Niners game.

 

[Cbrower91]

Man how did the powerplay get so bad lol. I mean Premier set up guy Premier Finisher in Heatley and nothing. Marleau looked horrendous on top of that. It looks like he is not skating at even 50% right now

 

[Cbrower91]

is there a way to make Mcginn go away, just any where really

 

[Slimpikins]

Boyle with the assist... on the Stars goal.
