Radulov will be fun for you Stars fans to watch

Okay...this Niemi guy sucks balls. The only good thing about his current 15 GAA so far in this game is that it's lowering the 23.6 GAA he came in with.

How is this guy in the NHL?

He won a cup his first year with the blackhawks and soon after the sharks picked him up. He was pretty good with them--no cup but that was not his fault as he was good enough to bring one home. With any team, if there is not constant forward progression people go. The Sharks keep getting to the point where it is a cup or make moves.

He went from a solid team(Sharks) to getting moved around (to good teams) and that can be hard to acclimate.

Calgary "Flames" beat both Anaheim and L.A. ... This writes itself. Flames torch LA....Flames too hot for Anaheim...CMON!

Fleury placed on IR...and Subban gets the win over Boston. Anyone think Vegas can keep this up and pull a playoff spot?

Didn't watch Ducks, but 'king guys are off to their best start in franchise history.

Too bad the next month they play all teams that made playoffs last year.

That shorthanded goal with Kopitar -> Doughty was the very definition of rewarding a player for hustle!!!

Their luck ran out! Their odds of making the playoffs are slim. But i wouldn't bet against them. I can do this all day but i won't.

I didnt thee the quackers play but i noticed that the flames swept through both socal teams. It was too ironic.

As far as the opening games, yes we have done great so far. I missed the last goal by Doughty last night because i was watching DVR and it cut out, had to see it on highlights! ugh. Lets see how our record is after next month though

Center in the kneeling party? Who is on the left and right....doughty, Quick....oh wait..I forgot. Hockey players play the game and don't let politics play them. Play. Drink. Women. Teeth knocked out. Hockey. Real sport.

UncleWede · 10-16-2017, 04:51 PM

Hey it was YOUR bright idea. I was just trying to play along

infinitekidM2C · 10-17-2017, 02:07 PM

^^The Sharks - Kings rivalry is heating up...well at least on this forum.

UncleWede · 10-17-2017, 05:29 PM

We need to ask Skunkwerks to settle it

Not really hot now since the Kings are leading the Div and way in front of the Sharks. As a side note, I get to watch my first Sharks game tonight--got a sixer of Sierra Torpedo going for it. Just hoping I don't finish them all before the game starts.

On paper...Sharks should win. Montreal is scoring what...1 goal a game on average? Price got his money...he's fading into the sunset as the most over rated goalie ever. Ever....

On paper....right.. Pens looked good the last several years and guess what?=cup. Sharks looked good on paper many times and guess what=nothing. In hockey lets enjoy all the games and post bets in third round.

Okay...you gotta admit I was right on this. Price looked like complete shit... Montreal deserves this for ditching Therrien for what they thought was better.

Yeah, the Sharks apparently have his number...saw a stat this morning showing the Sharks are the best team in the West when it comes to playing Eastern Teams. So, yes on paper the Sharks would have an edge.

UncleWede · 10-18-2017, 11:58 AM

The stats are getting so deep into the woods in every sport these days, that I don't pay a lot of attention.

ie (fake stats I'm making up on the fly) The Kings are the best team (I should just end it here) against East Coast teams when having more than 18 shots by the end of the first period on odd Thursdays

ShopVac · 10-19-2017, 05:42 AM

My stat considered was pretty simple. Statistically, Price sucks and is overrated. Even last night...he sucked sitting on the bench.
