That doesn’t happen very often.
Two weeks ago that SJ goal goes in and we eventually lose 5-3, even as much as we dominate and Markstrom played great.

You know you can think a player isn't playing well while also holding absolutely nothing against him personally? He's been playing very poorly for most of this season. He was a scratch for the first time in a decade, for pete's sake. I'm glad to see him doing well even though, by and large, I've disagreed with his usage.

It's fun to see. But you have to keep perspective — it's the Sharks, they're one of the worst teams in the league.

Flames are gonna score more

Hardest strength of schedule was a major factor in not just the record but individual totals. It's easier to score on bad teams...duh

I was surprised that Kadri has 10 points in his last 10

I always know I’ve struck a nerve when they bust out the old username. Oooh. Rattled.

Huh. I wonder why a user who joined 5 years after flip was banned would be bringing that up. Couldn’t be because activestick is a returnee could it? Lol. How sad.

Ah we'll be fine. Without Tkachuck, Drew Pouty will be disinterested again.

Fair. It's completely a guess on my part anyway that you don't like him.

Something of a boring game, but the important part...is TWO POINTS.

Sutter at least looks credible tonight with Looch - even if it doesn't last; that's fine. If it works for a few games and lights a bit of a fire...that's better. And if Rosie steps in eventually to take his spot...no complaints!

Still too many defensive lapses and big gaps down the middle at times. Hopefully getting a few goals allows them the time and space to clean that up.

You know who started the "Super Secret Milan Lucic Fan Club" on here? The one that's referenced in the second post in this thread?

ME!

Probably but SJ and LA went to a shootout Saturday...people are acting like the Sharks are the worst team of all time or something

Just chill on him in the regular season. It's the playoffs where he will be counted on.
