Sharks Gameday: Bleeding, not yet Dead

I spent the weekend in Las Vegas. It was pretty fun I guess, but after the Sharks' horrible loss on Sunday I didn't appreciate the number of people I saw walking around wearing Canucks gear. Seriously, in the forty-eight hours or so I was there, I saw at least a dozen people wearing Canucks jerseys or shirts or hats. It seemed a little excessive - especially after the game four debacle, when the sight of anything that even slightly resembled a Canucks logo made me sick to my stomach.
I saw one guy with a Sharks shirt on, a middle-aged dude standing around in the MGM Grand. I shouted "Go Sharks!" at him on Sunday morning, and he said "Yeah, hopefully."
Game four was a failure of history-making proportions. Even though the final score was close, the way in which the game played out, with the 2nd period parade to the penalty box and the injury to Joe Thornton, was pretty demoralizing.
There are positives to be found in the stats, if we try. The shot-differential is a big one, as MOST of the time, if you out-shoot your opponent by more than twenty, you're going to win. Battling back and scoring two goals in the third period showed heart, but it wasn't enough to overcome the 2nd period from Hell.
Winning three games in a row during the regular season is a minor accomplishment. In the playoffs it's pure gold. The Sharks were able to do it against the Red Wings in the 2nd round, but they're going to have to find a way to do it again, starting tonight, if they don't want their season to be over.
Thornton is hurt. He'll play because it's the most important game of the year, but it remains to be seen how effective he can be.
Hold your breath everybody.
Prediction: It's not over yet. Sharks win 4-2, with goals from Thornton, Couture, Boyle, and Murray.

It’s not over till the fat lady sings – and after Sunday’s game, I hunted for every damn fat lady, threw them all in the closet and flushed the key down the toilet. Oh yeah, and gagged them. There will be no fucking singing tonight.

The best part about the Sharks losing is going to be the crushing collapse on Fear The Fin when they realize that the Sharks didn’t choke and they did try their best; they simply lost because they weren’t good enough.
Also, the idea of the Sharks being done in despite Joe Thornton’s best efforts because of the lackluster play of Antti Niemi and Joe Pavelski.

As Sharks fans...
We all knew Vancouver was a machine. We all knew that it would take almost perfect hockey to beat them in this series. Unfortunately the Sharks aren’t playing perfect hockey right now. That being said, this series may well be 2-2 if the Sharks had played SMARTER hockey. The Canucks have been much more disciplined and have shown the SJ powerplay a lot more respect than the Sharks have shown theirs. How many powerplay units in the NHL would have converted on 3 straight 5-3’s, the answer is one, only Vancouver. If the Sharks stay out of the box, their odds against VAN are about 50/50. If they take stupid penalties they have a 0% chance to beat VAN. So, if and when the Sharks lose this series, I will put most of the blame on the gameplan, lack of discipline and stupid lineup choices by Todd McClellan (Ben Eager). Of course Heatley is shitting the bed too, but that is nothing new.
As a Sharks fan I am proud to watch the play of Joe Thornton, who seems to be playing the best hockey of his career. The future looks bright because of Niemi, too. He has been solid, even in this series and even in game 4. Only an asshole reads that stat sheet and says “4 goals on 13 shots, that is horrible!”

Wow, those are some ridiculous stats. Still, he’s been sucking it for a while now. I’d imagine he’d have at least 5 more good years in him. If you can’t score playing with Thornton centering you, you have problems.
Quisp’s thesis was basically that goal scorers tend to peak in their med-late 20’s and decline after that. You’ll find outliers in any significant sample, but the general career trajectory of a player like Heatley is fairly clear.
He may have as many as 5 more years where he’ll score like a true top-6 player. The question is, will he still be worth what he’s paid, or more significantly, worth his cap hit at that point?
Also, I suspect that a lot of elite offensive players stay productive well into their 30’s because of hard work and conditioning. Fitness helps counteract the effect of aging. If HaroldRamis is right and Heatley doesn’t give a shite and isn’t into that sort of thing, that doesn’t speak well to him being productive well into his 30’s.
"Prepare your bladder for imminent release!" — Invader Zim
Heatley
Heatley’s problem is that he doesn’t give a fuck. He obviously doesn’t have the endurance he should and that is about conditioning. He’s sloppy with the puck, he takes horrible penalties and for a “pure-goal-scorer” he sure whiffs on A LOT of one-timers.
My guess is that while other NHL players are busy honing their skills Heatley is out driving in his Ferrarri (hopefully not with other Sharks as passengers). He hasn’t been a superstar for years. He is the textbook case of an overpaid athlete who starts phoning it in. I love the guy and I love watching him and his nasty streak in the regular season, but against VAN he’s more of a liability than an asset. In all honesty I would consider playing him on the 4th line.
3 more seasons after this one. His salary goes down though. One more season at $8M, then one at $6M and one at $5M.
Cap hit still rapes you in the ass every year though :P

C'Mon Now...
Doug Wilson should have known what he was getting. After all, there was a reason Ottawa wanted to trade him. Teams don’t just give away peaking superstars when they’re under contract for awhile. The Sharks wanted to load up, and Heatley has done some great things for us. He just looks lost against a team as young, fast, skilled, and disciplined as Vancouver.
Welll....
No but would have given you more cap leeway.

Not to be a jerk, but are you not “replying” on purpose? The last twenty posts have been about Dany Heatley, so could have all gone under the same topic.

Don't bother the man
he’s starting to have the argument with himself, if I’m following it all.

Why, is this post confusing? It seems pretty obvious who I’m responding to.
