can someone enlighten me..I sat down at happy hour at buffalo wild wings (during the week i have to watch there cuz my new place doesnt have cable…boo hoo) and the ducks game was 3-1……why did we give up 3 goals?
from what I watched the ducks played hard…good to see smellypants back..and seriously all those jason blake haters can suck it…only guy out there with any speed…and hustling his arse off..
bonino looks aggressive too…

i still don’t like Blake.
he can hustle all he wants, but quite frankly, he kills the Topline. He still has a real bad desicion making with the puck, and he can’t really contribute to the cycling game of the twins.
put Hagman back up there, or better, let DSP play there.
The top line sucks a lot no matter who goes there. I blame the bald guy.

ye exactly, it’s Getzlafs fault, we should aquire an center in the skillleague of Blake and we are fine …. ,
Well, he could find his teammates on their way to the net instead of circling to some random corner.
Teemu can score with Andrew Ebbett, but Getzlaf needs his hand held to be on the scoresheet, I guess.
www.battleofcali.com
I do wish Getzlaf had Blake’s plus-minus, or even something on that side of zero.
www.battleofcali.com
hey i never said that Getzlafs play doesn’t need improvement this year. but the weak link of this line is Blake on the wing, not Getzlaf
I guess I can take your statement at face value, but I don’t like the implication that with somebody else it’s been strong.
www.battleofcali.com
Frankly, I wouldn’t mind trying Bonino as first line center for a game, just to see what happens.
www.battleofcali.com
couldn’t hurt.
i’m really impressed with boninos development.
why not give him a shot.
if we fail, it is clear that the ducks are sellers that deadline. i’m really scared that murray just does nothing on the deadline because he wants this team in the playoffs so badly
Shrug — I don’t know that it’s crucial to sell. What do you think we’re missing out on, a low second round pick?
www.battleofcali.com
by Earl Sleek on Feb 22, 2012 6:40 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
yep, i take a low second round pick over an aging winger who can’t score.
blake will soon be gone either way, so i think that 2nd round pick in a deep draft helps the franchise more.
besides, we need rosterspace for DSP and Etem, and i much rather have Hagman on the team than Blake
Shrug. I’m not sold either way. Blake wins.

no the twins are struggling this season, and they can’t find a way to get in a groove. i think they need someone who exactly plays to their strength this season, the be productiv.
that’s why i would like to see DSP up there. To be fair, i would like to see a Perry clone on that line
Yeah, I just wish our top-paid players could be a little more independently productive, but let’s find them a babysitter!

10-11: 82 GP, 73 points
Elite players have bad years. You don’t want to trade away a soon-to-be 27 year old top line center during a down year.

Not sure if serious
Like I said in the game day thread, he does score. He has been an above point per game player since 2008. Yeah he’s struggling but even the best have a bad year. As far as the lazy argument which will probably be brought up, I just don’t see it. Undisciplined, frustrating but not lazy. The behind the back passes are annoying sometimes but just cause he doesn’t skate fast like Sexton or Blake that makes him lazy? Plus, much like the Sedins, Getz and Perry are probably a package deal. Can’t have one without the other. Trade Getzlaf and I have a feeling Perry won’t be resigning.

There was a dicussion on here a few days ago on why people hate niemi
I give you last night as exhibit A. The hate is easy to return. Niemi will never be good enough to steal us a win, but he sure as hell can lose us a game. 3 goals on 11 shots from the worst team in the league. Joke.

I understand the hate, and the signing of him to a multi-year contract in 2010 made me question Wilson’s sanity (in a Billy Beane kind of way), but I’ve gotten past the fact that Niemi is on our team and let’s in some easy goals. He’s our #1, and until otherwise noted, we’ll have to deal with it.
Besides, our defense is a thousand times more terrible than Niemi is right now. Having a PK fourth from last in the league is just awful.

On the first goal Umberger was all alone, untouched in front of Niemi, and had several tries at the puck before he put it in. Not Niemi’s fault.
The second goal was on the powerplay for the Blue Jackets, deflected a bit, Niemi maybe could have had it.
The third goal Rick Nash got to shoot a full-strength shot from between the hash marks. No goalie in the league would have been able to stop it.
The Sharks played like shit from top to bottom, expect for Logan Couture.
It isn’t correct or intelligent to blame Niemi alone for the poor performance of the team as a whole.

3 goals in the first 11 shots against the worst team in the league.
Insanity
Hail Poseidon!
http://5minutesformurder.blogspot.com
Here is the video of the Blue Jackets’ goals. Tell me what Niemi should have done differently.
The insane thing is how the worst team in the league was able to skate circles around the Sharks’ defense.
"The beating hearts of other creatures are like needles in my brain. Only once I have silenced them all will I have peace." -Owen Nolan
Battle of California
On the first goal, Niemi is out of position. He ends up sideways to the net while the puck is in front. (its hard to tell from the angle of that video, but I remember it from the opposite side. he shouldn’t end up sideways.)
I’ll give you that the second and third goals are both fast shots and he didn’t have much help from the defense. But they are straight on with no one in front of him, you have to make one of those stops.
Also, I completely agreed that the enitre team played like shit. But Niemi has been playing poorly the past few games now and he is an extremely streaking goaltender so now I’m looking for griess to make the next start. I do dump alot of blame on Niemi because its easy (see: I don’t like him. Trying to but the hate comes easy) and I am quick to throw him under the bus after a poor performance.
So, yes, Niemi does not deserve full blame for the loss but it comes down to a point where your job as the goaltender is to keep the puck out of the net and he let in 3 on 11 shots. None of them were crazy deflections or bounces, they were shots on net without a screen in front of him.
Hail Poseidon!
http://5minutesformurder.blogspot.com
The first goal was McGinn’s fault because he stayed with Umberger, leading Vlasic to move away from the net to cover someone else; McGinn then backed away too (maybe he realized he was in Vlasic’s area?), leaving Umberger alone in front of the net. Niemi is complaining to the ref after the goal because Umberger knocked him off balance when he stopped in front. That’s why he kind of ends in an awkward spot.
But they are straight on with no one in front of him, you have to make one of those stops.
The players shooting affect the outcome too. When the players shooting are 2 guys who have averaged 35 goals apiece the last 4 seasons, well…
McLellan isn’t going to watch that tape and say, “Boy, Niemi really let us down.” The team let Niemi down by leaving a man open in front and men open in the slot. Those are the 2 areas you’re going to score in the NHL and they need to be protected much better than that. Niemi didn’t get pulled because he was sucking; he got pulled because the team was sucking.

I thought Dan Boyle as well, but that’s because I think Dan Boyle is a very angry man who will not hesitate to scream at Sean Avery if he causes trouble.
Clowe would do that too, in fact.
And if Avery REALLY gets out of line then they’ll just make him sit next to Brent Burns on the team plane and room with him in hotels. A few hours of Burns yammering on about Skylanders and snakes will teach Avery a lesson.

He’s irreplaceable. There are only two Ryane Clowes in the league and the other one just won the Stanley Cup. His point production isn’t phenomenal, but to have a tough guy who can score on the second line is a luxury I’d like to keep. Contracts being equal, I think it might do us some good, but that $7,800,000 cap hit means being even more top heavy than we are.
I’d rather pay for some proven scorers for our third line if it’s not going to be our shutdown line, which I was kinda hoping it would be when we signed Handzus.
by meetyourmako on Feb 22, 2012 3:46 PM PST up reply actions
Plus, I’m pretty sure Clowe is a big leader in the locker-room for this team, in terms of holding people accountable. I know we want to “win now,” but I wouldn’t bet on Rick Nash stepping in at the very end of this year and leading us to a championship. His contract will be more costly next year, as I understand it, because we will not have accrued a bunch of extra cap space over the course of the season.
