  1. Warso needs to figure it out soon. He has been so lucky mack has had an elite run. The line shuffling is terrible. The scratching of key guys is infuriating. The lack of strategy… just awful.

    The defense is also completely terrible.

  2. Listen, this was probably the worst game I’ve seen from Smith, but after the whole “I’m going to play my game” vs “I get a heart attack when Will turns the puck over at the line” I’m beginning to think Will and Warso do not get along.

  3. Warso was right on to make changes on Will and to take Sherwood off. Will and Celebrini made so many high risk pass. Sherwood is a dump and chase guy and they hardly get puck behind to forecheck making sherwood useless on that line. But the real issue was the D. Just can't keep playing Klingberg and Lili when Muk is sitting. Iorio looked better than them.

  4. The boys deserve a high profile coach. The in-game management has got to be frustrating for them.

  5. Players have bad games. Shit happens.
    Will played incredibly well after his injury. Was getting goals and points. Him and Celebrini were their usual on the ice.

    With all these line changes, something isn't working. People want to blame Will but this is an entire team issue, as well as Warso switching these lines stupidly. He shouldn't have scratched Guadette or Regenda ESPECIALLY after the amazing plays Reggy had in the olympics.

    the lines should be:
    graf-celebrini-smith
    eklund-misa-gaudette
    regenda-wennberg-sherwood

    dickinson is our only good d-man..

    idk. Warso is truly bothering me

  6. The Sharks can kiss the playoffs goodbye if Warso keeps doing whatever the hell this is. Trade deadline is at our corner, can we trade coaches?

  7. Celebrini is probably feeling depressed having to play with the Sharks after being surrounded by legends for a couple of weeks. Also he had a legit coach too.

  8. They had injured players in and out of the lineup but, now they need line consistency to build chemistry. Sherwood was not going to be a good fit on the top line. Reeves does not need to be in the lineup every game considering the players that are being scratched. Taffoli is slow footed in puck races and makes lazy looking plays sometimes. I know he scores a timely goal here and there and is a good veteran for the young guys but, the time is coming to move on. Misa is not ready to be a second line center, especially not over Wennberg. It appears they are trying to force his development and we are back into the developing for the future mode and not playoff push mode.

  9. Usually not for blaming the coach but he's made some really bad decisions recently for "identity* and "grit". Sherwood on the top line over Kurashev, Graf, Eklund or Toff is just flat out stupid. Macklin and the sharks deserve much better.
