If only we had drafted Aho instead of Larsson in 2015!!
I'm still kinda upset about the 2005 draft. Ducks got jobbed! We had a Crosby in the pocket! But we got a Bobby Ryan as a consolation prize.

haha right?! I forgot about Vats till the playoffs started....
curious to see if Gardiner screws over the Canes like he kept doing with the Leafs...
Wait, what!? Did Gardner screw the Leafs?

how do we watch these games? i haven't found them on tv yet...
NBCSN is the usual carrier for all things NHL at the national level. Unfortunately that means an extra package with your cable provider. It's only the Stanley Cup Finals that actually get shown on basic networks like, NBC. (for several games)

Rooting for Dallas in the West, Philly in the East
I got a deep rooted dislike for Dallas. Hard to like anything about them. Everything that was and will be, is trash on that team. Sorry... Perry.

so not sure if you guys heard....
but the next Sharks home game is going to be to an entire empty arena! When asked how else they are taking precautions for the coronavirus the Sharks responded with "...? what's the coronavirus??"
.....ZING!
Whoa! Rodney Dangerfield over here folks.

Hire Gallant right now. Thanks, Eakins, you tried hard, but you're not cutting it. Get Gallant in here.
When I first heard about the canning, all of five minutes ago. I immediately texted my friend (Kings fan), "I call dibs on Gallant!"

Kovy signs with the Canadians.
His agent is dumb. Signs him up for just shy of League minimum for a non-playoff team. I've waited till the trade deadline, some GM for a playoff team would be antsy enough to make a signing for Kovy, especially for peanuts on the dollar.
As I type this, I'm second guessing my initial statement. Perhaps this is a savy move by Bergevin. Pick up a dirt cheap washed uped name. Keep him in hockey shape till the deadline, than trade his ass off to a desperate GM at the deadline for picks.
But that's assuming Bergevin would have GM acumen. That's a huge assumption.

Stupid Capitals. Euro Sasquatch (Zdeno) get slapped around by Wilson.
TJ Oshie (American shoot out hero) makes three players look really stupid in a gorgeous sequence for the goal.

It's crazy to think how many players are in the game. How many players have played over 102 seasons (granted alot of the early seasons were six teams). And Perry is only the 340th player to reach the 1K milestone.
With modern strength training, nutrition and medical services, I'm sure we'll see more and more players reaching the thousand game mark.

wouldn't be surprised by that at all!
i mean also...how surprised are we really? with their lack of leadership and they didnt do anything to address their goaltending -- biggest issue if you ask me. and they lost their captain to free agency...lost a good scorer, leadership diminished, and goaltending stayed the same.
ohhh but karlsson is healthy!...karlsson and burns are too similar of players that karlsson's impact is greatly diminished than if he were on another team. another burns is not what the sharks needed. sticking to what i said back when they traded for him...and now the signing cost them pavs who they actually need more than karlsson.
and honestly, sure they made the conference finals last playoffs -- 2 wins away from the finals against the eventual cup champions...but getting that far was a fluke. technically they were a first round exit team... what happened in that first round that got them the win was 5% them, 20% the knights collapsing, and 75% a bad call. ive said this a few times this past off-season...the sharks downfall right now is they think they are better than they are and wont admit otherwise.
...glad i havent been proven wrong yet lol
What does that say about the Ducks?
In the past five years the Sharks have had better playoff success.
From 2014-2015 to 2018-2019
Ducks: Conference Finals, First Round, Conference, First Round swept by the Sharks, Not Qualified.
Sharks: Not Qualified, SCF, First Round, Second Round, Conference Finals.
I personally like the Ducks player leadership. But the Sharks have had a better run of it the past few years.
And certainly, there's more to playoff success than on ice leadership but I think laughing at the Sharks for a perceived lack leadership is a bit dated.

Kinda amusing that Capfriendly has Patrick Marleau with three teams this season and zero games played.
Yes, yes, I know traded, bought out and just signed. Still amusing.
For $700K/1 Year for an old timer who still can put up 16-21-37, good deal for the Sharks. Not to mention all the good will of bringing Captain-Catipillar-Brows back into the fold to retire as a Shark.
Maybe Jumbo and Eyebrows can have a good by retirement skate. As fitting as it would be it wouldn't even hold a candle to the tear jerker that was Selanne grabbing the visiting teams goalie for (just typing this mid sentence and my eyes are doing weird things, damn fall pollen 😉) one last lap at the Ponda.

Cup or bust for the 19/20 Leafs. This is looking like the strongest roster (on paper at least) that they've had in my entire lifetime. I think everyone in this city will forgive how hilariously mangled the cap situation now is if they can end the drought. Their defence is going to be an absolute mess following this season though. No way they'll be able to keep Barrie and Muzzin.
I was going to taunt you silly but I forgot they ditched Gardiner and picked up Ceci and Barrie. That defense is a LD/RD wet dream. But yeah... Next season, Ceci, Barrie, Muzzin are UFA's and the only defenseman signed is Orielly. That'll be entertaining.
And somehow, they are still paying Nathan Horton, David Clarkson and eating a healthy chunk of Phil Kessels contract. #bigmarketproblems

woah! what?? maybe the story of him turning down the $11mil is a lie...
Also, I wonder if this means they'll be naming Matthews captain soon...
$100,700 short of the initial $11M. Sounds like the GM caves and gave him nearly the full contract to a small rounding error. 8 years is now the full length one can sign a contract, right? Six years after an ELC gives Mariner quick UFA status and a butt load o' bank.

Pff. Ovi is safe. The guy has been jumping out of his skates and making borderline hits his entire career. If anything, if he his suspeneded, Parros will have a Russian contingent in his office the next day. I can assure you Parros, can not fight his way out of that.

Ugh. Why. Did you have to mention that. I thought the Ducks, as a team, had that many goals. I looked up it up. It's not quite that bad but not much better at 11.
That's depressing. When a single player is almost out scoring a team.
Thanks for bumping this thread, Duck123. I got to see the above post again. Those were some dark days early in the season. And somehow the team still finishes with home ice for the playoffs! Hahahahaha

Yeah, hopefully he does not get injured. That's 9 goals now. Scored another 1 last night. If he has an awesome season this year, he could very well be on his way to breaking the record--especially if he follows it up with another awesome season next year. We shall see.

Okay, I'll bite. Who in the hell do think there was a trade in the last six years when you think about a dude "that is the player who's gonna win this team a Cup!!"
