So what even happened to Hertl?? i just heard a report that he is out for the rest of the series, I didnt even notice anything in the first 2 games

 

Roman Polak is Pittsburgh's best player.

 

fuck yes

 

give Kessel the Smythe, please

 

Sharks don't look like they even care anymore.

 

The Sharks top two lines are constantly stuck with Polak/Dillon so they are always hemmed in their own zone because neither of those two can make clean passes out of the zone. Sigh so much.

 

Can't Burns play like 26+ minutes?

 

I am really growing to hate this Sharks team

 

That's what's annoying... Dillon should get like ten minutes a night max and those minutes should go to burns. Don't know what deboer is doing.

And zubrus...man.

 

#FreeDemelo

 

Pavelski is a ghost this series.

 

I was just about to say something must be wrong because he refuses to shoot this series.

 

Sick dive Burns

 

why is every play a dive to you

 

also donskoi has been the sharks mvp this series

 

Pretty sure that's the first I called a dive this season. And because Sharks have gotten away with slashes and boarding this game but dude feels a stick near his midsection and flops. Issue is more with the refs, calling weak shit (for both teams) but letting dangerous shit go

 

Lambert wrote about this today. I get that Deboer is trying to even it out but, you're at the end of the season, just play your best dudes as much as you can

 

the sharks should especially just play their top two pairings just because they have a two day break but this team just looks so lost and Deboer has failed to game plan at all.

 

Honestly I blame Martin Jones for why Deboer has failed to game plan at all. Martin Jones has saved the sharks so much that Deboer believed they were only a couple of bounces away from winning the first two games.

If the Sharks fail to score at all, I'd imagine some changes would happen. It looks like Polak ice time has dropped a lot so maybe that means some change.

 

Lol

 

Dude is such a loser

 

haha everyone just comparing him to Jared

 

Video Analysis: In the Penguins-Sharks Stanley Cup Final, Possession Starts With Good Defensive Gap

very good read on what the sharks are doing wrong

 

look at what happens when the sharks are able to sustain pressure and they can score a goal

 

Polak/dillon are still playing with 10 minutes left why
