Game #66 – Hawks 2, Sharks 5: This Is The Best We Can Do, Folks

Sam Fels March 4, 2019 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick The one bonus of covering a bad team is that you rarely run out of material. But we’ve come to a point where I’ve run out of things to say. I’ll you need to know about this Hawks team is that they really did try tonight. They fought back twice […]

Game #66 – Hawks vs. Sharks Spotlight: When History Is Your Only Plan

Sam Fels March 3, 2019 0

One of the biggest watches before the trade deadline is what the Sharks would do about the goaltending situation. Though they are amongst one of the best teams in the league in every metric and points-total, they have the worst goaltending in the league, at least at even-strength. At evens, they’re the only team under […]

You know those people that you only see at punk shows? Like you never run into them at the store or on the street? You don’t know where they come from? That’s @ItWasThreeZero. He’s our Sharks guy.  Did the Sharks err by not getting a goalie at the deadline? Martin Jones‘s playoff record is stout […]

Game #66 – Hawks vs. Sharks Douchebag Du Jour: Michael Haley, Pete DeBoer, And Putting Truck Nuts On Your Porsche

Sam Fels March 3, 2019 0

You probably missed it last week. It wasn’t a transaction to move the needle. But for some reason, the Sharks brought back Michael Haley off of waivers from Florida. Getting waved by the Panthers should tell you all you need to know, especially given how Dale Tallon likes himself a muttonhead. And make no mistake, […]

Notes: Please, for the love of God, shoot Gustav Forsling into the sun….Ward will get the start. Last time he saw the Sharks it did not go so well…If the Hawks aren’t going to get goals from their loaded top line, they’re going to lose…Perlini can’t do anything but be fast and shoot, but that should […]

Your Delayed Trade Deadline Review

Sam Fels February 28, 2019 0

Due to the Hawks’ schedule and personal, I haven’t gotten around to summing up what went on during the trade deadline. So we’ll get to it now. The trade deadline is always a weird portion of the schedule, especially when your team (rightly) sits it out altogether. There are only a few teams that should […]

Because Something Is Happening Here But You Don’t Know What It Is, Do You, Mr. Jones?

Sam Fels February 19, 2019 0

You miss most of their games because they’re on late. You might have seen on Twitter this morning that we got awfully close to a Joe Thornton cock-trick last night. He had a hat trick and there was an overtime to add to it, and hockey twitter waited with anticipation you could cut and serve […]

Game #35 – Sharks vs. Hawks Spotlight: Big E

Sam Fels December 16, 2018 0

There are very few players whose switching of conferences can change the entire outlook of one. So when one of those actually does switch conferences, and he doesn’t light up the world and then tear a hole in it that he fills with peanut butter cups, most are inclined to tell you he’s a disappointment.

Sam Fels December 16, 2018 0

@ItWasThreeZero followed us home one day. We fed him at the back door of the building. He won’t leave us alone. We figure we can at least use him to get Sharks info.  Three points behind the Flames isn’t where the Sharks were supposed to be. Everything metrically looks great, so is their lack of […]
