Oilers/Sharks

[LostSymphonies]

I'll be so happy when the Oilers finally put the last nail in the coffin of the sharks like i predicted

[tambo41187]

I would like to see this series go 7 games actually. And then have the oilers win, just to shove it in the face of those fans who booed last night at the anthem...i think that would be fitting.

But really i like both of these teams, its been a great series so far.

[weezer182]

i would be happy to see you leave

[weezer182]

If SJ can win on wednesday, I think they will win the the series. They had plenty of chances last night and a lot of the goals werent vesa's fault. I dont think they have lost four games in a row all year with Thornton on the team. Edmonton will be tough but SJ is going to be desperate

[LostSymphonies]

game 6 will go to the oilers, no ifs ands or buts about it, they are hot

I agree with this, either Edmonton in 6 or SJ in 7 if it gets that far. Should be interesting either way.

[Brownpants06]

Toskala is about as reliable as Jose Theodore.

Bah. 12 goals or so in 2 games?

[apoemtothedead]

Toskala is about as reliable as Jose Theodore.

Bah. 12 goals or so in 2 games? 5 of the goals last night weren't his fault, and he could do nothing about. The Sharks are the better team, Edmonton is just capitalizing on the Shark's stupid mistakes, while the Sharks aren't capitalizing on theirs.


And yeah, the national anthem thing was embarrassing.

And yeah, the national anthem thing was embarrassing.I totally agree. SJ had too many stupid mistakes last night and Edmonton has capitalized. SJ is the better team and if they come on mentally prepared they have a good chance at bring the series back to san jose

I really hate when people say this kinda of stuff. Sorry but i heard this a million times during the Sens/Sabres series..."so and so team is better, the other them just gets lucky and capitalizes off it..."

Right now edmonton is playing harder than the sharks (and maybe more than any team in the playoffs) and they have for three straight games. The sharks may be faster and more talented, but better....no i think the 3-2 lead shows thats not true.

No offense though, i really like the sharks and want to see this series go 7 games, means i get to watch more games.

Did you watch the game last night? The Sharks outplayed Edmonton for 45 minutes. As they did in games 1 and 2.


And one thing I hate to do is complain about officiating, but I really do have to. Pronger has interfered with Thornton and Marleau practically every shift the Sharks are in the offensive zone, and none of it has been called.

I did not watch the game last night, i did watch games 1-4 though. But part of being the better team is playing good for the whole game and not for the first two periods but i dont want to aruge. It was more a commentary on everyone saying the Sens choked rather than accepting the fact that the Sabres were better. Just a pet peeve of mine when that stuff is said.

Ya the reffs do suck and its been atrocious this whole post-season....but ummm i mean even if those penalties were called would it really make a difference?....2/27...;)

Would it make a difference? Yes. Why? Because the Oilers scored on two rushes yesterday after blatant penalties.

Penalty in the Sharks zone. Steal. Rush. Goal...just me though.

[Kram41]

Officiating was pretty bad last night, though our power play is worse, so who knows what kind of difference it would have made.

After the sharks got 7 of the first 9 power plays, the officials put their whistles away and it was fair game for the Oilers on the Sharks. Ekman got blatantly tripped after he walked around Smyth in open ice with the puck. Roloson swiped Thornton's legs out right in front of the official who was behind the net. The back official called the holding penalty on Scott Hannan from the other blue line when 2 Sharks were fighting against 1 Oiler along the boards deep in the zone. It got really ridiculous.

But as I said, we can't capitalize on the power play anyway.

Got to give the Oilers credit for pressuring our D-men when we're attacking. They've gotten 3 or 4 goals just on our defensemen being forced into mistakes at the point. We also are having trouble cycling the puck at the points on the power play. Bleh, unless we can adjust, we're not going to create many scoring chances the way the Oilers are playing in their own zone. Sure, we controlled the puck for most of the game, but it was just useless cycling.

these must be the same refs that let chris pronger go 4+ games without a single penalty minute in the oiler/red wing series.

[apoemtothedead]

Wilson is too stubborn. Our power play isn't working, and he's refusing to change it. The only two times the power play generated anything last night were on shots from the point. Bernier rushing the zone in the second period, and the goal in the third.

The quaterback of the power play can't be in the corner, especially with the reach of Pronger.

[tambo41187]

Officiating had been horrible (esp. if you play a canadian team) but its usually bad both ways, its just something a team has to play through, its not an excuse.

[apoemtothedead]

I never used it as an excuse. I've said multiple times the Sharks have shot themselves in the foot several times this series, but the refs are definitely making it harder.

that's edmonton's M.O., blocked shots.

[weezer182]

that's edmonton's M.O., blocked shots.yea i know they at great at blocking shots but san jose hasnt done much in the past 3 games to adjust to it.

[bigmike]

yea i know they at great at blocking shots but san jose hasnt done much in the past 3 games to adjust to it.
this is sounding more and more like the wings/oiler series with the not being able to adjust, getting tons of shots blocked, not capitolizing on mistakes, and pronger getting away with alot of penalties.

[riseagainst89]

i hope the sharks win the series cause the oiles have won the cup before.. and if there out the 4 times left will have a chance to win there first hoepfully the sabers though.

[Darren McLeod]

i hope edmonton wins just so i don't ever have to watch another hockey game where the fans boo when the opposing team gets the puck, or boo the anthem. its terrible to watch.

and tambo, i love you. you're the first buffalo fan I've met who hasn't started calling the ottawa series a choke.

[somethingyellow]

i hope edmonton wins just so i don't ever have to watch another hockey game where the fans boo when the opposing team gets the puck, or boo the anthem. its terrible to watch.
I agree with you that booing the national anthem is absolutely horrible. Yet i dont think booing certain players is that big of a deal. It happens in a lot of sports

it doesn't happen in hockey that often unless its someone who has, in that series/town, done something big. Yet it's still disgraceful to the game, and its not like they do it just to a few people on Edmonton... they do it for basically the whole team. I mean, San Jose is skating with it, and then the fans cheer, and then a player from the Oilers will steal it, and the fans start to boo, which will only cease if the Sharks take it back again. It's annoying as hell.

Umm...the SJ fans only do it for Pronger everytime he touches the puck and it's quite amusing. They did it when he was on the Blues too.

it's so pathetic that fans boo anthems. canadians do it all the time for the american, and us doing it back doesn't do anything. just stay silent for the minute or so, have some respect.

that being said, i hope the oilers pull it out.

[tambo41187]

and tambo, i love you. you're the first buffalo fan I've met who hasn't started calling the ottawa series a choke.
3 OT winners and all one goal games, i mean its hard to consider that a choke...now if they had gotten blow out....

[weezer182]

i've seen it for a lot of other players than pronger.

and it's not amusing, it's juvenile and pointless.from what ive seen, it just seems like it is pronger who gets most of the boos. i dont see anything really wrong with booing players when they get the puck. its just part of sports. the fans are supporting their team and trying to get into the other players head so they make mistake. i guess its part of that home ice advantage. you see goalie chants all the time, if anything that is worse. i dont find anything wrong with booing players. just my opinion though.

[weezer182]

To add to my post, booing can also be a sign of respect. The best players hear it the a lot. There are also cases where they boo dirty players ect... Its part of the game. The players get enough money, its just part of sports. Thornton got booed in Edmonton. If you really want to say something that makes the game look bad, look at the dirty cheap hits that take place. Also, Edmonton fans started rioting after they tied the series up causing atleast two people to be hospitalized. That was national news as well

[beyond1919]

what makes you think canadians boo the american anthem? maybe occasionally in the playoffs it has happened but no more than americans. With that said its retarded and disrespectful but at the same time its nothing to be too concerned with if a few thousand idiots decide to boo. Worry bout the hockey

[weezer182]

With that said its retarded and disrespectful but at the same time its nothing to be too concerned with if a few thousand idiots decide to boo. Worry bout the hockeyare you talking to me because i already said i thought it was horrible and very embarassing for san jose fans to boo the anthem. i do agree though it is stupid. it was a small amount of fans that did it and from what i read a lot of fans tried singing along to the anthem to drown out the boos. not all sharks fans are like this. a lot of us fans are respectful people and its sad such a thing like this happened

[Darren McLeod]

3 OT winners and all one goal games, i mean its hard to consider that a choke...now if they had gotten blow out....
not to mention that ottawa outshot buffalo in all 4 losses. it was a great series, and buffalo really surprised me with how great they played.

and Kram41, good work on bringing up the fact that I haven't watched a game at the Shark Tank. I realize that not being in the actual arena means that my opinion is void and that CBC is editing in those boos that I've been hearing, so I apologize for being so silly, and I guess after tomorrow's game in Edmonton you won't be commenting, because after all, you won't be there to see/hear it yourself.

i don't think the ottawa series was a choke at all. emery just played like shit for most of the series, and it bit them in the ass.

[Brownpants06]

not just their best... the three top scorers from their team are all from Canada.


What he said, and thats the main reason why SJ is my favourite team behind Vancouver in the Western Conference. Booing anthems is so disrespectful, I remember it always being a problem in the playoffs.

[apoemtothedead]

So I found out why they booed the national anthem.

During game 4, right before the USA's anthem, the jumbotron in edmonton had a picture of Joe Thornton on it, which led to booing. The cameras picked up the audio of the booing, and I guess the San Jose fans thought they were booing the national anthem.


Note: I am in no way justifying the booing.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

well it does pretty well. im sure sj does better then boston does in attendence. atleast we care about our team here
As evidenced by the past few seasons, San Jose's OWNER actually cares about his team too.

Boston's owner fucking LIVES IN BUFFALO. Mikeford has been right about one thing - the Bruins' current ownership doesn't deserve support. Jeremy Jacobs is completely disconnected from the team, and Mike O'Connell couldn't be a successful GM in the ECHL.

[mikeford]

well it does pretty well. im sure sj does better then boston does in attendence. atleast we care about our team here

no one cares about the bruins because the ownership doesnt care about winning. why should anyone support an owner who doesnt care himself?

that said, the bruins are still an original six team. which is way more respectable than hockey in california.

[weezer182]

Me: This kid is trying to tell me that San Jose fans boo players other than Belfour and Fleury like they do for Pronger. Are there any others?
My friend: Is this kid an idiot?

Seriously, you just made a stupid generalization, maaaaaaaaybe you could make a case for Turco too. But Pronger gets it more than anyone. I guess we boo the national anthem when Dallas is in town when it says "stars" but that's it. Until you can give me a concrete example of someone else that we boo as heavily as Chris Pronger, Theo Fleury, and Ed Belfour, shut your mouth.

[Kram41]

this has definitely been the best series so far in the playoffs and while my heart aches for a game 7 :P the sharks don't stand a chance tomorrow after getting the edmonton crowd worked up for tomorrow's gameobviously they stand a chance. they havent gotten this far for nothing. edmonton has been playing great but they arent invincible. san jose has the talent, has had some days off and are going to be playing desperate. all it takes is one win to bring this series back to sj for game 7. the sharks have played the best this year when people dont expect them to do much.

[apoemtothedead]

The game will be decided in the first 10 minutes tomorrow. If the Sharks control and score in the first 10 minutes, they win the game.

[bigmike]

We don't boo Chelios.
yes. I have seen him get booed when he played for chicago and for the red wings in every single building in the western conference, at the least. in some arenas it's louder than in others, but he's booed every single time he touches the puck.

[bigmike]

All they have to do is play like detroit did in game 6 against Edmonton and just extend that for the full 60 minutes and they can win. they've got more desire than the wings had.


The game will be decided in the first 10 minutes tomorrow. If the Sharks control and score in the first 10 minutes, they win the game.
Nah, if San Jose scores two or three times in the 1st period, then it'll be important. Otherwise i really think the first 10 mins of the 2nd period is the most important. because if the sharks dominate the entire 1st and only lead 1-0 and possibly even 2-0 but Edmonton dominates the first half of the 2nd period, it could be game over for san jose.

which is more reason why the first 10 mins isn't the most important part of the game. but they definitely have to come out of the 1st tied or ahead or else it'll be really really tough. I hope they win 'cause i'd rather see them in the finals against (hopefully) buffalo.

Well I'm just saying, if they do well and come out strong in the first 10 minutes, they SHOULD be solid throughout the game. Which will be needed to win tomorrow.

Which will be needed to win tomorrow.the biggest thing with sj is they actually need to play well the whole game. the last two games they have had a terrible third period which is unusual. they just need to concentrate the whole 60 mins but i do agree it will be important to start the game off strong. you know edmonton is going to start well with the crowd behind them. if we can silence the crowd and control the style of the game early, i think he will win

[LostSymphonies]

are you an edmonton fan or something?

haha no, i'm a Penguins fan..but my two teams this playoff series has been the hurricanes and the oilers..the oilers really surprised me this year

[beyond1919]

predictions fellas?....I'm gonna go with 4-2 edmonton (including an empty net goal).

[Kram41]

5-4 Sharks in OT.

[weezer182]

SJ: 3-2 With two goals from the first line

[LostSymphonies]

5 - 2 Oilers, no empty netters, but 2 power play goals

[apoemtothedead]

3-1 Sharks.

[LostSymphonies]

whooha Oilers!

[Kram41]

Pronger was a tough matchup for him. Especially the way they let Proger get away with everything. I was so surprised that they called Pronger for interference finally this game. He does that same move everytime. Raise the stick and block the forward from passing who dumped it. But then they even it up by calling Ekman for tripping Pronger while he was being interfered?! Give me a break.

Oh well, got to hand it to Edmonton. They used their advantages and really poured the pressure on the Sharks and no question they showed more heart and tenacity than the Sharks. (I'll be rooting for the Ducks in the CF though.)

It was a great season, and we saw the potential this team has for the future. We just need to improve our defensive puckhandling and bring in another gritty veteran on this team who knows how to win and can be a leader for the young guys (see you next season Owen Nolan).

I hate to see Drew Ramenda go, he and Randy make watching Sharks games so great.

[apoemtothedead]

They shot themselves in the foot so many times this series.

[Brownpants06]

They managed to play with less energy than the flames.

Oh well, anaheim will kill edmonton probably due to 2 weeks rest.
