LOL @ Chara


About time someone actually took the "we should take them out before the playoffs" a little more seriously.

Watch out Buffalo, you're next.

KG - Clowe's injury is being reported as "tweaked lower body" injury. It's being assumed that he got hurt blocking a shot as well but will hopefully be ok.

I rather the Sharks dress Mash on Wednesday and sit Clowe though so he doesn't "re-tweak" it.

Chara also zinged one off Girardi's ankle in the 1st period. Quit blocking shots GUIZE

Clowe's a man, a real hockey player. He'll be fine.

A shame you're just getting into the Sharks now, they've played some absolutely epic hockey these past 8 weeks.

Never felt as good about their chances as this year, not even close.

I've been watching them all season. I've gone to a few games every month as my dad has season tix. But I'm definitely more excited about them now than earlier in the season because the pacific division is so stacked and the last couple of months have felt like playoff games.

I just don't get all excited about the Sharks anymore because I don't care if they finish 1st or 8th. I just wait for the playoffs.

But I agree, they have been playing some great hockey over the last 8 weeks. I love the depth and toughness of this team. So glad that Huskins is gone. D is vastly improved with mobile and puck moving DMen in Boyle, Vlasic, White, and Braun. Definitely excited about playoff hockey.

Plan better.

By that I mean get more points before April. Usually helps.

Thanks tips.

I fully blame the leafs not making the playoffs this year on Ron Wilson. Plain and simple. It's sad that they've already announced he's going to be the coach next year.

He's working on it. :bow:

Thats burke in my sig...

At least I thought his job was pretty well done.

 

[killgod]

He's overrated. He inherited a stanley cup team and acts like a thundering asshole in the media to get attention for himself.

Wilson, Chiarelli, Tallon, Holland....all superior at what they do.

He's good no doubt, but he's not the god Toronto still thinks he is. Although it's more become obvious with his allegiance to Ron and the team still sucking.

lol you put the sharks gm first. Actually :jonesy:

The whole burke god thing. Stop watching tsn and sportsnet for your info lol. Most leaf fans think he's doing a good job but things like keeping wilson and the kessel trade still keep most in check.

George McPhee is probably my top GM. The guy drafted a beast team rolls with them, see's their weakness and adds onto it. The Scott Hannan trade:

 

[killgod]

How can you insult the Sharks GM considering how stacked they've been year in and year out? Then fucking over Chicago and taking Niemi? Trading fucking JOURNEYMEN for Thornton? Boyle? Locking up both Thornton, Marleau for cheaper than their worth?

You're just hating.

By the way, Doug FIRED Ron. I'll give Burke more credit when he can do that.


To repeat, I never said he was doing a bad job. I also don't think the Kessel trade was bad either.

I just laughed at you putting him first because your a bigger sharks homer then most leaf fans I know.

To repeat I never said he was doing a bad job or hating.

BTW came in second in my fantasy league with my buddies after ripping it up all year. I think I had 20 wins on everyone else.

Losing Malkin and then Kopitar pretty much did me in at the end. There was a bit of shadyness going on with the guy I was playing cause he dropped two goalies and picked up two starters at the end.

 

[wr50l]

Let's just be grateful that none of us have Glen Sather running our teams ... oh wait, fuck my life.

 

[Tailback U]

I'm so sad I didn't do fantasy hockey this year.

Next season I'm going to be in as many leagues as possible, especially if there's no football.

KG, who would you rather see the Sharks play in the 1st round? Ducks or Hawks?

Hawks easily. It would be a good start to beat the team that beat us last year. They have a rookie goalie and simply have been inconsistent the entire year, playoffs won't change that.

Anaheim has been on fire of late and should give whoever they play a good go. In the end their goaltending should do them in, but they will score enough to make a long series.

KG is right here, Anaheim would beat the Sharks in 2 games. At least if you play Chicago you can take it to Game 3.

[Tailback U]

Yeah I gotta agree with both of you.

Even if the Sharks do get by Anaheim, it'll be the most physical series of the entire playoffs and the Sharks will take a beating.
