When i watch sports, I tend to gravitate to watching the highest level of competition. If the Olympics were on, I wouldn't watch NHL. if the NHL was on, I would not watch the AHL. if the AHL teams i was interested in watching prospects from was on, I wouldn't watch Moosehead games.

That being said, the elite best of the best Canadian Olympic gold women's team plays against our third string junior squads like the drumheller dragons in the AJHL(I don't even know if these kids go into the draft pool lol) to warm up against good competition for the Olympics and lose 8-0

Why would i want to watch such inferior product?

So, who will grab him first while still with NA status? I pass.

A few of us did. And promptly dropped him.

And Seguin, while still playing, has become the shell of himself.

Seguin is still serviceable. Kucherov still elite.

But yeah, hip surgery is hard to come back from.

Kesler was a banger league superstar once upon a time

I was curious, so I checked. The Sharks special teams during Woodcroft's time:

 

2008 - 10, 1
2009 - 3, 5
2010 - 5, 5
2011 - 3, 24
2012 - 2, 29
2013 - 7, 6
2014 - 20, 6
2015 - 6, 25

 

Other than one year on the PP, and three with the PK, that's a great record.

 

I credit Joe Thornton and team with making that happen.

I can guarantee you if you go into old game day threads you will see a lot of people hating on him lol

Is it his face? He's got a weird face, plastic-like. Creepy.

He was in charge of special teams.....and sucked lol

Quick thoughts in point form...

 

-As ever, the goalies' ability to make save will win a coach the Jack Adams, and their inability to make those saves will surely get him fired, too. The team's analytics are all at or near the top of the league, but when the goaltenders pitch a SV% of .864, it's very difficult to remain employed. The next coach usually comes in, the luck returns to normal, and it looks like a genius move.

 

-This is 100% Connor McDavid's team now. This past summer, they hired his agent as CEO, they've brought in several of his friends as teammates, and now they bring in his coach from junior. I'm only half kidding: is he going to get a percentage ownership in his next contract?

 

-I think that Jay Woodcroft is a decent coach, but he has to own his decision to completely change the team's structure. Moving away from their strengths, which had them right near the top of the league, and playing to their weaknesses, cost him dearly.

 

-The team wants to improve the way the blueline defends, so they bring in Paul Coffey to coach the defensemen? Makes sense, bro.

 

Never ever liked woodcroft when he was with the sharks. 

Man the Oilers need to restructure their goalie coaching too lol

I'm amazed they are almost as bad as my team this year

Didn't see this posted anywhere.

I was shocked lol

Anyone wanna trade me a goaltender ?

Depends who you are offering and who you want. Goalies in a 16 team league are kinda like solid gold with platinum inlays lol

This is the absolute worst non expansion teams in NHL history. Bar none. I know a lot of folks in Shark land accept it and hope they can deal assets at the deadline for high picks but other than Hertl and the injured Couture nobody on this flop of a team has anything other than negative value. Oh a few kids, but you don't trade them you use them as building blocks and hope they don't pick up too many habits from the foreign legion of a roster. This is such a bad team. And Hertl/Couture have no move deals and love San Jose.

Oh I'm sure they will waive those LOL

This bad 

 10-1 loss to the Canucks. 

 

  In ten games the Sharks have ten goals, Vancouver scored ten against in one game. 

  Bad of biblical proportion.

Slacking for Macklin.

Imagine a team where MacKenzie blackwood is player of the month LOL

Dude as a wings fan who could barely watch them for several years, you hAve my sympathy. This Sharks team could literally shatter several non expansion records for futility. 

  Good match in cupquest btw. Congrats , I thought I had one move left Sunday but didn't. Probably wouldn't of mattered.

Im totally ok with a rebuild and im strapped in for 2-3 more years of suckage. The more high picks the better. I want a Sharks 1st overall.

If we can move more contracts for 1st and 2nd rounders, ill be happy. I'd like a Cole Eiserman and a Macklin Celebrini

The only time I am really watching right now is the rare night I don't work early and want to see how the youngsters are doing.

Bad enough to get the pick for macklin celebrini I hope 

My trade with yave and Dallas barely playing this week got me 2 starts and a forfeit of G cats lol

Incidentally I played poker with those guys at the casino in 2005. 

Man did we trash talk lol

Oh man...
@J0e Th0rnton is gonna LOVE this...Nickelback performing in the 2nd intermission of the Heritage Classic in Edmonton!

41 games is more than some of the worst repeat offender suspensions.

Does playing poker count as sports better since it's on ESPN?

I'm sad he never got a cup, but damn.

His scoring is otherworldly when accounting for era.

If he started his career in the 80s, and didn't miss a full lockout season + a half lockout season...

The man finished 12th all time in points and he started his career in the dead puck era for 7 years. 4th in all time assists.

Likely nobody but Gretzky would be ahead of him in assists had he started playing when messier or Francis did.

This is going to hurt in SOG, FOW and points and I lose Meier hits 

But.....

@J0e Th0rnton and myself with a trade to announce

 

Sharknado receives

Hellboy

Norris

 

Foil receive

Sid

Meier

Jack Campbell

 

 J0e simply cannot quit Hellboy. Good for 60 or so starts with a ton of shots against and great overall numbers. Norris is back, 4 points in 4 games but his speed is gone right now hence his dreadful minus 5 in last nights game. IMHO he reminds me of Kevin Hayes a serviceable player.

 

Crosby and Meier fix what my team needed, I was short faceoffs and added the games best while Meier is a nice multi cat winger. Campbell is a victim of Edmonton's God awful defense right now, he is on a very short leash. 

 

 

 

I have been at work for 13 hours now. I might regret this trade later LOL.

But Norris looks like he missed no time so far and I love Hellboy
