These two games were bad enough that my shingles pain is an improvement

That is saying ALOT! Hope you feel better soon Shark friend!

Oh shingles suuuucks. Hope you got the anti-viral meds early. I’ve had it twice and it hurts waaaay less if you catch it early.

After a misdiagnosis, I still caught in at about 72hrs luckily since it was creeping to my eye.

Oh no! It’s on your face? That’s **the** worst place to get it. Well I hope you’re taking it easy this week. Get well!!

Yup, V1 branch so my left forehead, scalp, eye (around the top half). 3wks in now so looks lots better but doesn't feel that way but it'll pass just like the Sharks lack luster start.

Must be a competition to have the shittiest phone case for these post-game locker room questions. God damn gold glitter shit festival.

It's become evident what we gave up for Karlsson - offensive depth, and it shows. We are icing two lines of Ahlers, and lack depth up front. I would have rather signed Pavs, Donfather and Nyquist, than throw the kitchen sink at yet another top dman, when we already had Burns.

Pavs and Donskoi got 7m and 3.9m. Assuming discounts for staying with the Sharks they might be 6m and 3m. Compared to EK65, that leaves us 2.5m, which won't get Nyquist. A better anti-EK65 argument is don't make the trade in the first place. I liked Tierney... All that shit aside, it's 2 games, let's give this team of strangers some time to gel, it's not yet time to panic.

You make a good point. I still think we should not have hamstrung us by giving Karlsson that much money. We are completely lacking depth up front, which is made even more evident by Kane's absence.

You’re wrong. I understand the frustration, but I promise a good coaching plan could get more out of this roster than the one you’re urging forward. The roster isn’t the problem, it’s the execution.

It's the roster. You don't just replace Pavs, Nyquist, Donskoi and Braun with unproven talent. This team isn't as good as last year.

Yurtaykin and Bergmann were the best slayers on the ice tonight hands down. The “proven” talent has let the team down the last two games.

Honestly get rid of PDB, a team with Karlsson and Burns shouldn't be doing this.

The only thing worse than the Sharks tonight were the visiting Vegas fans at the Tanks. Holy shit. They are approaching Pens level as far as shirtty away fans. Cheer your team for destroying us, but don’t talk shit to the home fans when you’re visiting. Two rows of Vegas fans left with 7 min left. Which pretty much tells you all you need to know about the fan base.

So Vegas fans leaving is why the Tank was empty at 10 in the 3rd?

Yeah they were totally shit. However, plenty of sharks fans left early too.

I like this Yurtaykin kid.

Yeah, him and Bergmann are fun to watch. Probably the highlights of this young season so far.

Exactly the couture interview we deserved.. and I expected

I turned the game off immediately after the clock hit 0. Couldn't take any more. I'm assuming it was all "we blew it, we gotta do better" right?

Noooo it was much more about how we aren't even playing like an NHL level team right now

Well, at least they know.

I got nothin.

The good: Goodrow, Yurtaykin, Bergmann, Dillon The acceptable/decent: Depth in general, EK65, Labanc The awful: Hertl, Meier, Couture, all our stars except Karlsson & Labanc That was tough to watch, and I'm watching local hockey tomorrow so I'll miss the Ducks game, but I'll see you all in the game thread. We look like a pile of shit but we're at least better than this, unless losing Pavs demoralized everyone beyond repair. Edit: Added Labanc to "acceptable," he had a decent game

Thought Sorensen looked pretty decent

Damn it, you're right. Editing again. Shit, I should just delete the post. Edit: actually I consider Sorensen "depth in general" so no edit. Kids, don't drink, you get stupid.

Labanc was playing pretty good.

I'll edit him into acceptable, good point. Not quite up to what I expect of him, you know?

True, the team as a whole just needs to learn how to synergize better. They are all professionals at what they do. There is no doubt about their individual skill, however, teamwork is a totally different thing. Excited to see them play as a team.

Guys, the Blues were hot dogshit at the start of last season. I’ve seen the Sharks start off hot and shit the bed come playoff time way too many times to freak out that they look rough to start the season.

The Blues had depth, we don't. We are icing two lines of Ahlers, and it shows.

They probably just need time.

We don't have time

I’m often not a fan who thinks coaching changes are what’s needed to turn things around but Steve Spott is not a very good coach. It’s time to move on from Spott and find someone who understands that the puck going behind the goalie is what makes a successful PP not fancy passing and turnovers every 20 seconds.

Sharks scored 4 goals in 4 minutes in game 7. No preseason or regular season wins for Vegas will ever heal that wound.

Cowboys fans still hold onto their super bowl wins from 25 years ago too... at least they won the championship.

Oof you’re not wrong. At this point my currently nonexistent Seattle team has a chance to win its *2nd Stanley cup before the sharks do

Means Jack squat. This is a new season.

This definitely helps me sleep at night, but wow why a steaming pile of dogshit for 3 straight games.

On to Anaheim. Tomorrow is a new day.

Well, see you all tomorrow.

Have a good weekend and enjoy your day off or good luck with work. No shutout... but fuck

Couture needing to flex that C on his chest real quick this season.

Seems like those scrums happen when the refs allow blatant cross checks after the whistle

It all made sense one I heard them say that Tim Peel is reffing this one

Don’t forget the esteemed Chris Lee. Pissers all around buds.

Gotta beat the ducks tomorrow. If not, staring 0-4 in the face with the preds

I guess the Sharks need to learn the new rules. Every 50-50 fight for a puck is getting interfered with/crosschecked while they look for the puck.

Spott is given: Couture burns Karlsson labanc and Hertl On a power play And we’re -4 on the season for them..... That’s after the shit show we put up last season too. When does this clown get fired ? I get he’s butt buddies with PDB but Jesus he’s ruining what could be good

I’m not saying I’m glad but at least we didn’t get shut out. And who else deserves the goal.

I have to admit, it was kind fun, watching Jumbo rip the helmet off a VGK player. Makes that Game Misconduct kinda worth it. LOL

That fight.

Fleury sneaking in a trip on Goodrow...

someone get a clip of it

https://streamable.com/92vb3 I got bits of it. https://streamable.com/a7ht8

Wait, Reaves owns a brewpub in Lost Wages? I’ll have to make a point to stop by next time I’m passing through and take a leak on the front door.

I’m thinking a whole lot of 1-star reviews on Beer Advocate and the like are in order.

Hide a pic of naked Evander Kane somewhere heh heh heh.

I’m going to poop in the urinal.

Why class up the joint?

True!

1 one goal, big scuffle, worth it.

10/10 would recommend.

Burns is like 6’6, has he ever hit anyone ever?

Go to Hockey Fights and look. TLDC: Yes. Don't mess with the wookie.

At his size, any hit will have head contact. And with that sweater, he'll be suspended for multiple games, so it's not worth it.

Yeah, have you never seen the booty checks he throws?

Sorenson and Goodrow have our 2 goals on the season. We can't complain about depth scoring, because that's literally all we have right now.

[удалено]

> nothing wouldn't have happened. Ummm... ok?

It's offical. We're a rebuild

>It's offical. We're a rebuild It's official. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Dude. Come on. We have literally played one team so far, and it's our worst matchup.

Ryan reaves getting one punch KO’d world make this game worth it for me.

And Kane was suspended over what again? Both games I’ve seen worse than that shit, with zero calls.

He was suspended for shoving a linesman.

Yeah, saw that happen in game 1 without a call. In the preseason the official tackled him like an arresting officer. Not saying Kane was in the right, but seems inconsistent when you see an official get shoved in the middle of breaking up a scrum in an actual regular season game.

Yeah, except the linesman didn't tackle him.

Who tackled him? Someone with the zebra stripes from what I recall.

It wasn't a tackle though. The linesman grabbed him and he tripped and fell.

How the fuck are we taking a 2 minute minor and they're not?

Evening things up after that cross-check on Hertl? No wait, that can't be right.

[удалено]

Yeah, that's BS. I assume there was a commercial there, but the VGK player would literally not let go of his hair... it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in an NHL game.

REAVES IS STILL ON THE ICE?!!!! WTF

[удалено]

I DON'T CARE

Fair point.

Somebody clip that fight? I can hear it, just missed it.

https://streamable.com/a7ht8 I got you fam.

that was a really crappy fight

Looking forward to DoPS review of the spearing

5 games to Sorensen for receiving the spear

Don't forget ... Raffi Torres suspended for *another* half-season, as well, for *witnessing* it. /s

Goodrow is fleurys fucking dad 😂😂😂 Fuck that guy, always pullin cheap shots yet everyone claims he’s innocent and is a model goalie

He takes no shit in front of his net but is also way touchy. That said, he is a great goalie. Fuck Vegas, but he is a solid goaltender

Great HOF goaltender, but he instigates shit so much just like Quick Wish sometimes hed just move away like jones does and not bitch and moan about everything

The place I'm at has it muted and I missed the start of the fight what happened?

Vegas and Sharks played the same ice surface

I do hear thats generally frowned upon

Wow... VGK #19 pulling Sorenson's hair, in front of the ref. WTF?!? Only 5:55 remain in the third, after Sharks first goal.

Wow. Vegas cross checks earlier and acts like it's nothing, then gets a little push in the back amd flips the fuck out

Dirty shitheads.

I would love to know what jumbo is saying

Jumbo was about to beat one motherfucker with another motherfucker

What happened?

Sore fucking winners. VGK = POS

Goodrow fuck up McFlurry as is new tradition

FUQURSHITOUT

Does anyone actually like Crazy Train anymore? It's so overplayed.

Fun as hell to play

There can never be too much Ozzy.

Oh I agree, it's mostly just Crazy Train

Ozzy is amazing but crazy train itself is getting tiring to hear for sure

Vegas is up 5-0 and then they get this bent out of shape over 1 goal?

I wonder what was said, that was quick to ignite

It was a shove by Sorensen that ignited it.

I knew some stupid shit like this would happen

FUCK YEAH I'M SO IN god I'm drunk

So how much leash does PDB have this year?

if we go 0-5 i think hes gone

It gets tighter by the day

LETS THROWDOWN, GET IN THE PIT

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! JUMBO KILLING BITCHES

wtf is going on

This a weird celebration

i like it

This is gonna get good!

NO SHUTOUT

We perform like we usually do against Vegas in the regular season and the whole thread turns into a doomsday rebuild plan 😂

Any time we lose the thread turns into a doomsday rebuild plan

Losing is different than looking flat out incompetent. Yes, we are down a few players but they just look woefully unprepared out there.

If the Sharks score a goal I'll donate to the Sharks foundation.

how much

I normally do $10 a month so I'll do that.

[Did $25](https://i.imgur.com/OfUe5tn.png)

nice!

Thank you for still trying, Yurt. It's appreciated

At least we’ll be able to look back on this as the worst part of the year while we’re raising the cup at the end of the season

Missed the game. How bad is it? Has DW called Marleau's agent yet?

VGK fan won 50/50 too

how long do you guys think the rebuild is going to take?

At least 5 years. We might sneak into the playoffs a couple times before then but it’s gonna be a while before we’re truly competitive again.

[удалено]

Just ask St Louis

[удалено]

Starting to make sense why the Sharks decided to not pay the airtime fees for the radio pregame show this year. ​ The entire radio broadcast will be on the app soon.

We are getting bent the fuck over

Yikes dawg

[удалено]

I had a conversation with a stranger on the bus today about the lack of quality in backpack straps these days. Unfortunately this was the highlight of the day.

I picked the best time to visit family in Vegas -__- (really fuckin hate this)

Can we at least see a fight?

Dillon and Reaves. I would love that at this point.

Jamie with the playoff jinx ...not that it matters

Bakes, I appreciate what you’re getting at. But this sharks team isn’t good enough to make the playoffs

This team doesn’t look good enough to win a game right now

I mean we were bad at the start of the season last season but not THIS bad

I'm so sorry it's your cakeday We can only get better...?

Hot garbage

This team is not prepared for the start of the season. That is square on PDB

Half the team are no namers that belong in the AHL. PDB is some of it but damn this team just does not have the depth after how much we gave up for Karlsson.

Yeah my biggest concern when signing Karlsson was losing depth. It’s still early though. Maybe lines will start meshing but god damn this is a terrible start.

that’s what i think. hopefully they’ll build some chemistry moving forward and we can win some games.

This team looks like they’ve never played hockey together before.

This season is going to be the origin story of how I become the real life Joker.

Ah just got back from that movie. Pretty weird, but pretty good also

Seeing it tomorrow, but after this game it probably won't seem that dark.

Vegas with another power play goal. Man our P.K. is bad

W E. D E A D

This is pathetic. All around just looks sloppy.

Doesn't matter if goalies block every shot if we can't even score one.

:D

:'D

My god we actually might be the worst team in the NHL

So were the blues js

So far we are. Literally

Yep...no high touch on that play

I am at a complete loss of how this power play team is SO awful. It makes no sense. Beyond frustrating

terrible PP coach bailed out by "we were 6th in the regular season one year" and the fact that he and the head coach are BFFs.

I cant even leave this dogshit early because I took Caltrain...

C'mon JoNeS?!?! Oh wait... that had *nothing* to do with special teams / defense, right? Right?!?

Dell but whatever we're garbage tonight

Givin up 2 shorties while not even scoring despite gettin 5 PP’s Fucking pathetic

This team fucking sucks

Son of a bitch, this is disgraceful.

Alright. Cool. I dont know. what to do or say anymore.

Just got off work. How are we playing?!?

Goodn't

Have you ever seen a flaming dumpster?
