2023-24 NHL Season Thread.

Ugh, time to see my beloved Sharks throw another game

If yall manage to lose this series you need to burn the building down and change your name, anything to break that bad mojo.

[Greeney]

Colorado is the only team in the league that can contend with Chicago's offense. I also think Minnesota is better than a lot of people give them credit for. They're extremely good defensively and have some good offensive players. Everyone seems to forget Matt Cooke took out the Av's best D man when their defense core is weak to begin with. Chicago either makes it a short series or we're in for a offense bonanza 7 gamer

In the conference, perhaps, but I don't think they're the only ones. Boston was two bounces away from beating Chicago last year, Detroit took them to 7 games, Minnesota took the lead in the season series against them.

Tyson Barrie a better defenseman than Erik Johnson? I don't agree.

I will actually be very suprised if we make it, I am pretty sure we are the underdog as the last 2 games have played out. We have not even been close to threaten Kings in those games.

[Greeney]

Must admit I enjoyed watching that Stastny goal, Suter watching the pass and then that moment of realization that he can do nothing. Yeah sorry if I still don't like him :P

I don't care for either team, but the way he lied about wanting to stay in Nashville bothers me.

1-0 La.. I want to cry

Sharks playing the same every single time, dump and chase.. Fails horribly 9/10 and 1/10 they almost get something done!

[draynay]

Somebody told Williams it was game 7.

I remember when Holding used to be a penalty

And I don't need to see Sutter to know how much he's frowning at all this wide-open hockey and odd-man rushes

Don't get me started on Dump and Chase, its the one reason I wasn't that upset about Trotz being gone.

You're right, I forgot about Johnson because he's been* underwelming in the years before this.

[Greeney]

Yeah, I'll definitely give you that.

[Gumboy]

This Wild team is seriously going to give me a heart attack. three more minutes of no goalie inc, can the Av's score on us to force ot again? PROBABLY!

not this time, heh, those Avs have some kind of magic going but can't make it happen every time, thats gonna be a great game 7

[Gumboy]

damn that was some fast goal scoring for us :P


Lets hope the last game is not exciting at all. IDC whose side it is, I just want it to be lik ea seven goal blowout. I can't take the blood pressure rising!

SJ/LA looking like a good game so far! I don't get to see it here, can only check on the score every once in awhile :9

[draynay]

refs look like they want to take over the third period, giving me sour memories of last year's series, I hope they knock off calling these crap penalties and get out of the way, maybe call some of the real penalties instead

Well they made that up by giving you a goal for free. That was the worst call I have seen in a long time. Fucking joke

Good night.. See ya in Game 7

[draynay]

Yea, if the puck goes in the net and you have to trust this bunch to make a judgement its going to be disappointing. Thankfully we get to skirt controversy somewhat by having Kopitar put two in after that.

Anyway, I can certainly sympathize with Sharks fans right now, we both saw our teams lose 3 in a row and win 3 in a row, been pretty stressful, game 7 coming up, doesn't get much more stressful than that.

first thing this crew does right is to put Williams & Torres out of the game and hopefully prevent some rough stuff as the game winds down

holy shit Quick is pissed

[Zeoni]

Kopitar is so underrated.

[Armourboy]

Kopitar is so underrated.

I don't think he is that underrated. Does he get a ton of media hype? No, but most fans out there knows he's good. He just has the disadvantage of being as far West as you can get, otherwise I think he gets as much talk as Toews and Crosby.

I NEVER hear about Kopitar unless they're talking about the Kings.

San Jose needs CPR because they are choking real hard.

[Toxigen]

San Jose needs CPR because they are choking real hard.

I thought San Jose was in this game until the free goal by the lack of a whistle in the third to put the Kings up 2-1.

I watched the whole game (zombie mode today at work, didn't go to bed until 1:00 am). My bracket is heavily invested into LA and I am absolutely thrilled to see it go to Game 7. Both teams have won 1 on the road, LA has momentum, and SJ has home ice. I would say its about as even as possible in the "intangibles" department.

...who will start Game 7 for the Sharks?

Wednesday is going to be an amazing night of hockey (I'm guessing Philly wins at home tonight), I'd bet almost anything on it!
