Yeah, honestly it'd be nice to have 12 1st line forwards

Let’s start with more than four, which we don’t have, that’d be a nice start

Surprise surprise ..... Hefty wants another short cut.

Brock still played almost 20 minutes, has hasn't deserved that icetime.

You're a genius, bring back Loui into the top 6.

The Swedish connection.
What could go wrong?

Bench Brock and put Loui with Pettersson and Miller.

you ever try DMT?
- Nucker101

No. But some idiots fly half way across the world to pay thousands for a commercial shaman to do this.

All that happened was I basically convinced myself they were doing GAA different because of a bombed out series of games about 3 weeks ago. Not paying attention more than anything.

Tanner Pearson 115th in PPG for players who have played 9 plus games this season.

That puts him in top 6, for scoring forwards; in the NHL.

People really do overrate top 6 forwards.

I am out shooting you tonight 15-0

Back to back weeks of the wheels falling off. My players keep getting into 1 goal games etc... seems to be a rash of them.

Brock Beagle Brandon as a 4th liner.

He needs to learn defence and influence for the leadership of the Other B's

As the season progresses, contenders rise to the top, pretenders fall to the bottom.

In all seriousness, Brock needs to work on his stickhandling and skating.
He needs to get that shot back too!

i'm fine with him working through it atm.
He's definitely looked like poope some games, but I think he's trying to turn the corner has actually played fine the last couple games.

Until someone else outworks him and earns a spot with JTM and EP by forcing the coaches hand, i don't see the logic in punishing him with a demotion.

it's only December.

The Canes heavily out-chanced the Canucks, especially during the first 2 periods. Markstrom made at least 3-4 beautiful point blank savers in the first 2 periods plus the Canes had a goal waived off that could've counted.


They skaters didn't deserve the win, Marky did though. They definitely played better versus the Leafs.
- Nucker101

It played out completely the opposite. Canucks sucked Marky steals the V. Leafs sucked Freddy stole the win.

Strange how things even out.

Markstrom stole the game, good for him.

Myers needs to pick up his skating ffs.
- VanHockeyGuy

Myers was a disaster last night.

Good morning,

All's well that ends well, right?

Saw in overtime last night that he can attempt the correct plays and when it doesn't work, move your feet to get it back.

What Boeser needs right now is to hustle. He needs to hustle for an entire game. Sooner or later he's going to find himself in all the right positions by just hustling. He has a high hockey IQ.

He's still young and learning. I don't think a demotion really does him any good either.

Everyone has their go. The goalie starts are most frustrating for me this week. No one to blame but myself. Back ups are stealing their starts.

Game notes include Sutter's return and Jake's elevation, plus thoughts on Baertschi's trade situation and a look at some of what's ailing the Sharks, in the new blog:
