I just want to say that no matter what happens this year, it has been an amazing ride. We have shown a lot of promise. A few tweaks and couple additions to the blue line and we are a much better team. The future is bright for our team!!!
can you also explain at what point will Sharks get Mathematically eliminated?
I'm traveling up from so cal to go to the oilers sharks game. C'mon baby! Let's go sharks
Unfortunately the kings aren’t losing more than one of those games. I think we can drop a maximum of two more points. This back to back might be it
Long term it is better for them to miss the playoffs this year. High impact defense players in this draft, but need to be in top 5 in draft
Hey that’s roughly where I have them finishing! I believe it’s 91/92 points to end the season. I also have the Kings finishing at 90 and Nashville with 91.
Basically 🏇
Sharks would make playoffs if still had Martin Jones who only Goalie to get SJ to SCF along with Kraken to Playoffs which seem to omit when talked about deBoer with Isles. Sharks goalies seem to have bad GAA or save percentage after made big deal about MJ buying out. Dickenson only decent blue liner on team. I thought Orlov was bad signing. Kings if fail hope is Sharks over Nashville as like to see Toffoli. Frond or so guy Chicago took 3rd is who wanted Sharks to take over Misa. Who think is better now both have got to play. Man if this team had Shaefer would be in playoffs. I really like to see Cellebrini get MVP whether team makes it or not. Sharks have been better as Pacific has been a lot worse than expected so I think they get in heh.
The king's remaining games make this look challenging. The Vancouver games and the tilt against the Flames are gimmies. Gotta win that game against the Preds, and need to play Shark Tank energy level on the road.
Go get that cup of coffee, boys
Well Nashville just shut out the Ducks!
