@ProfHockeyYT It’s not strange. NHL coaches can be, and often are, egotistical maniacs.

It’s strange that the Sharks have spent months integrating Dickinson onto the PK to the point where he was top unit today with Desharnais out, yet refuse to do the same with him on the PP despite Klingberg demonstrating again and again that he’s not the guy.

@Men_Of_Purpose Why does she have a mic on?

Bro is a green flag.🟢

@circlingthecup We need to start a new slogan: Don’t be stupid. Take a number, not a penalty.

Great, zero learning.

@CurtisPashelka Someone just needs to tell him he’s an idiot. Take a number, not a penalty.

Ferraro on his penalty: “That's Mac and I didn't think in that moment, I'll do that 10 times out of 10.” #SJSharks

@circlingthecup Especially considering this was entirely predictable. My big gripe was him not showing leadership, explaining to the club, and then doing what needed to be done. Ferraro, Klingberg and Co moving out weren’t going to kill the vibes.

GMMG should feel pretty appropriately stupid for not moving out the pieces that had even minimal returns now.

@Puckguy14 Nope.

Please today Sharks. Please.

@AlDaugereaux What a difference a good coach and system makes eh?

Huge win for the Ducks. Only 3 of their final 13 games are against playoff teams. Winning 10, gets them to 100 pts.

@jrripley @AlexisDownie_ @AnaheimDucks You can’t be serious.

@AlexisDownie_ @AnaheimDucks And how many wins after not leading after two periods??

The @AnaheimDucks are now 22-0-0 this season when leading after two periods 👏

@margbrennan Loollllll. You would has hated Abraham Lincoln.

The Secretary of Defense tells the American public to pray for our troops on bended knee and invoke Jesus' name....

@circlingthecup @MyFryHole @halfwall_hockey What’s a 360?

@MyFryHole @halfwall_hockey I fried three! (It helps that I got one of the very first consoles off the shelves because I was working on 360 games).

For my 21st birthday all I wanted to do was take the day off to play Oblivion, and that’s exactly what I did. #Oblivion20th

@markEmarkSJS 10 is probably the right number. But they’ve been under .500 since Jan 1, so I don’t think we’ll get it. Mostly because the D corps isn’t holding up anymore.

7 of the next 9 Sharks games are against teams NOT currently in a playoff position. It’s do or die time if the Sharks are going to squeeze into the playoffs. With 15 games left, I’m thinking the Sharks need at least 9 wins, probably more like 10 to get in the playoffs.

@markEmarkSJS @AlDaugereaux They will definitely. Next season though. That’s a better schedule overall.

@AlDaugereaux Generally I’d agree but I really want 71 and co to get a taste of playoffs.

No. It isn’t. Dickinson bodies Zucker. Just like the coaches tell him to. There’s very little he can do to “take him out”. The only way would have been to take a penalty. People keep pretending the other player doesn’t have a say and that’s absolutely absurd. Dickinson comes back hard after a stupid turnover. Zucker holds up for a second at the blue line. Dick is the only one back because Mario is in no man’s land, so he has to hold up so Zucker doesn’t have the center lane to take straight to the net. Zucker sees this and, like a smart player, as soon as Dick holds up, Zucker starts driving down the wall, so Sam doesn’t even have time to end the play without risking getting beat along the boards and being behind Zucker with a clear lane to the net. So as he’s driving down, Sam bodies him up and pushes him to the outside where the only play is a pass. Could he have done more to prevent the pass? Maybe. Maybe it still gets through regardless. But that’s not a goal if Mario is in position and not puck watching, or any of the other four players on the ice got their asses back after the turnover. Instead Dahlin beats everyone up the ice. Which is utterly inexcusable and not Sam’s fault. There is a reason after the 2nd period he got back onto the ice. I guarantee you the coaches reviewed the tape and realized it wasn’t remotely his fault. As for the assertion that Sam all the time does a lot of little things that result in goals against. That’s entirely false. On occasion he screws up (far less than Ferraro, Klingberg, Leddy, Muhk or Orlov), which is to be expected. But relative to the team the Sharks goaltending has a far lower save percentage when he’s on the ice. Partially because he’s unlucky but partially because he’s mostly deployed with bottom six (primarily the 4th line), who give up slot shots in droves and can’t catch an outlet pass to save their lives.

@CyclonePilot06 @Moz_Morris It sure is. Ferraro makes plenty of mistakes too, game after game though Dickinson is doing little things that are resulting in goals against. Will he get better, I expect so, but we shouldn’t be pretending they aren’t happening or getting all “what about” when it’s called out.

Yep Dickinson fault… not Ferraro not back checking with any urgency. Example of what is wrong with #SJSharks beat reporters #TheFutureIsTeal

@markEmarkSJS @Moz_Morris This is not an example of that

@Moz_Morris Problem with Sharks fanbase recently is people are too soft on young players. They can and do make mistakes and can be called out for it. This is the NHL.

@didsjsharkswin Wrong.

Sharks lose 4-0 to The Sabers. #TheFutureIsTeal

The coach is a fucking retard that said Graf Celebrini Smith doesn’t work and then as soon as he puts them back together the Sharks start scoring again. Same coach who thought putting everything in a line blender was a recipe for success. Same coach who thought pairing Dickinson and Ferraro was a good idea. No. Don’t trust stupid coaches.

@Moz_Morris Welp after the mistake he got benched the rest of the period so coach must’ve seen it as critical 💀

You pretend there isn’t another player that’s had a decade in the NHL going up against Dickinson. Have you ever played hockey? Do you know how hard it is to just kill the play? It’s damn near impossible, especially in the situation Dickinson was in after the play turned the other way. He couldn’t just bury him and kill the play without taking a penalty. Stop listening to Drew and the Sharks beat writers. They are idiots and actively make Sharks fans dumber. Instead listen guys like Moz who are intelligent and think the game well.

@Moz_Morris Dickinson could’ve killed the play,didn’t. Ferraro had a chance if he backchecked harder,didn’t. Stop taking things so personally bc they point out a young players mistake 💀

@Real_Max_Miller @Moz_Morris You’re an idiot. The other player has something to say about it. Most NHL players would be able to just “end the play”. That not how it works in the NHL. Dickinson wasn’t the problem. You’re wrong. Just admit it and retract like an honest journalist with any integrity would.

@Moz_Morris Again, both things can be true, but if you go in order of what happened, if Dickinson ENDS the play there, Ferraro's giving up on a backcheck is pointless. He wasn't catching Dahlin anyway.

@ryandawson_45 @Real_Max_Miller It was fine D. The other player has something to say about it.

@Real_Max_Miller It was bad D from Dickinson but misa and Ferraro doing absolutely nothing too. Horrible goal to give up

Sam Dickinson needs to just bury Zucker there. Shove him down, can't let him shield the puck like that and have your stick in bad position

Absurd take. He bodies him up and it’s enough to prevent a fairly soft pass into the slot that is easily intercepted or cleared if Ferraro was in position at all or otherwise not puck watching. You’re pretending like Zucker isn’t an NHL player with a decade of experience and strength training up against a 19 year old. Gtfoh.
