2014/15 NHL Regular Season Thread

[PalaceGun]

The Charks have lost six of the past seven versus the Calamitous Cats of Southern Florida as well.

That's a coaching issue to stink it up against dud sides like those two so often...

Oh no, not again!

At least they got a "loser" point with Marleau's late equaliser.

 

[Kakkle]

Versteeg with 10 points in his last 10 games. What the hell is going on?

 

[Kakkle]

Let's have a little look at the Oilers' penalty kill and wonder why their team has been awful for so long.

Haha ****

 

[FedEXFalls]

Watch 2 periods of hockey for zero Stars goals... Head off to work and they score 3 in the period. I'll take it.

Klingberg is off to quite the start.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Go Sharks!

 

[PalaceGun]

interesting trade.

Charks trade Jason Demers and a 3rd round pick (2016) to Dallas for Brendan Dillon.

Jim Nill starting to shake it up a bit?

 

[catters078]

Dillon lost his way after a strong first 1 1/2 seasons..struggled since a late season injury last year and just doesnt seem to be working in dallas..i could tell nill wasnt sold him after refusing to budge on anything more than a 1 year deal, but there is a lot of potential and a good partner in san jose will see him offer alot of value.

Bradesmaen is demers more defensive?? I hope so.

Im hoping Nill is trying to shore up the defensive side of our game

EDIT, according to HF demers is more offensive. ahh wll at least hes right shot.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Hes not great defensively and his offense has dried up

 

[FedEXFalls]

You're next Jordie, you're next son.

In all seriousness this isn't surprising. Wish it could have turned out better with Dillon at the Stars but ah well. Don't mind the thought of him in a Sharks jersey for some reason.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Man Islanders look the goods early.

Metrosexual division is going to go down to the wire.

EDIT: Dafuq is this goaltending?

Majority of the Sharks fans are singing hallelujah.

 

[PalaceGun]

Down goes Lucic!!!!

 

[scottyjc]

Demers shouldn't be too hard to replace - I'm not sure why we had to throw in a pick (seems like a sweetener for them taking his salary)

Demers plays the PK though - can Dillion walk into that role?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Explains why our PK is only 83%

 

[PalaceGun]

83% is pretty good... Top ten.

Demers fifth Sharks' D-man in penalty kill minutes, 1:03/game

 

[Bradesmaen]

Yeah.. it is his PK time that makes us go from Top 1 to top 10.
92% of PP goals against were scored when Demers was on the PK.

 

[scottyjc]

Not according to the Stars:

"Demers, 26, has posted three assists (0-3=3) in 20 games played for San Jose this season. His 30 hits are second amongst San Jose defensemen and he has yet to be on ice for a power play goal against in 21:14 of shorthanded time. He set career highs in goals, assists and points (5-29=34) in 75 games played during the 2013-14 season."

You might want to check your calculations, I think you're about 92% off...

 

[PalaceGun]

he has yet to be on ice for a power play goal against in 21:14 of shorthanded time.

Beat me to it! Well played.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Beat me to it! Well played.

I misread the advanced stats page.

 

[FedEXFalls]

That 3rd round pick will be used in a trade before the deadline. Sharks keeping 35% of Demers salary and he's a right hander which was much, much needed in Dallas. Fair enough move by Nill.

EDIT: Our issues with the NHL team have really ****ed over the Texas Stars as well. Poor bastards.

 

[scottyjc]

Good deal for Dallas with SJ eating some salary and adding a pick

 

[Hawks1523]

Anybody want Kindl? Been a healthy scratch the last few games, seems him and lashoff are on borrowed time.

Will take a bag of pucks

 

[iluvparis]

I misread the advanced stats page.

Misread - translates as totally guessed right?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Misread - translates as totally guessed right?

Misread as in, misunderstood the legend. It was something like the opposition Goals For % when they aren't against him, I misread as are against.
