Minnesota Wild at San Jose Sharks, Mar 5, 2009 9:30 PM CST
San Jose Sharks (42-11-9) vs. Minnesota Wild (30-27-5)
HP Pavilion @ 9:30 CST
Television: FSN
Radio: Listen Live
For the San Jose perspective, check out Fear the Fin or Battle of California
Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
San Jose Sharks |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Burns - Schultz Backstrom |
Marleau - Thornton - Setoguchi Boyle - Murray Boucher |
NOTES:
- Minnesota is in 11th in the West, but is within three points of seventh.
- Evgeni Nabokov has missed the last three games with the flu, and Brian Boucher has given up seven goals in consecutive losses.
- Minnesota has given up a conference-low 2.35 goals per game.
- Backstrom had lost all six of his career starts against San Jose before winning on Dec. 31.
- The Wild have lost four straight in San Jose.
- Patrick Marleau leads the Sharks with 34 goals, conversely Owen Nolan leads the Wild with 17.
Questions to Answer
- With Boucher in net, Moen and Huskins not yet in the fold, Roenick, Grier and Lemieux injured have the Wild gotten a break?
- Will the Sharks get retribution for the loss on New Years Eve?
- Do the Sharks snap out of their offensive slump?
- Will this be an 0-fer west coast trip?
- Will the team be inspired at all by the new member... wait ... they didn't do anything?

Nabakov still out with Flu
But Boucher will probably beat us anyway.

Good for Colton Gillies to pounding away at Staubitz. How is that not a penalty on Staubitz for running Backstrom??

Geez
Its almost as if the teams the wild play are on the power play the entire time. Doesn’t it?

So....
Whos the next coach for the wild? Any ideas?
by RileysCannibalJct on Mar 5, 2009 9:55 PM CST reply actions 1 recs
Great Question
My Guess…As much as I want Pittsburghs most recent coach or Barry Melrose…It will probably be Mike Ramsey.
by Tony_O on Mar 5, 2009 9:57 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Honestly
I think it’s going to be Kevin Constantine, unless Risebrough gets the can. If he does, then all bets are off.
The problem is, GMs aren’t fired too frequently in the NHL
by nathaneide on Mar 5, 2009 9:58 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Melrose?
What kinda coach would he be? Experience wise…
by RileysCannibalJct on Mar 5, 2009 9:58 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
didnt he coach the Kings to a Stanley Cup?
by Tony_O on Mar 5, 2009 9:59 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes
But then he was fired less than a month into this season in Tampa

sharks goal from Pavelski. San Jose is destroying Niklas Backstrom in the crease. San Jose up 1-0. This one’s over.
by nathaneide on Mar 5, 2009 10:02 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
The difference
Every time the sharks put on pressure, they have 3 or 4 guys in the zone. When the wild go on offense, they have 1 or 2.
Can’t win with those numbers.

FFS
It only took the FSN douchebags 2 minutes to say who scored the fucking goal. Greenlay and Terhaar must die.

Jesus, now the wild can’t even figure out how to backcheck? Come on, it’s the only thing you guys do! You sure as hell don’t go offensive!

End of the 1st period
Sharks 2-0 Wild.
This one’s over folks. You can go to bed now.

It's amazing
The Sharks keep pressuring the net instead of shooting from the point, and guess what? They create chances!
by nathaneide on Mar 5, 2009 10:21 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Come on
Someone needs to keep the Sharks from running into Backstrom. This is ridiculous.

Wholy Crap

Edina is the best team in the state
No matter the Jags record, Edina has the best line in the state, and that line can play 30 minutes a night.

And Dont Forget
This is an Edina team that is Missing Gopher Recruit Zach Budish this season due in an Injury…Imagine how More Deadly that Team would be with Budish in the Mix…Yikes.

Last year
Went to the Sharks game… people sitting behind us screaming “JOEY!” All damn game long. Finally, about half way through the third we started making fun of the one lady who was screaming it like she was at a Backstreet Boys concert… the yelling stopped.
