GameDay Thread: St. Louis Blues vs. SJ Sharks - Nov. 13th, 2003

I don't care for the Blues so I'll give them a 6-1 drubbing.

5-3 Sharks....Patrick Rissmiller has the game winner. ;)

:lol: :lol: Put your crack-pipe down & step away slowly. I say 4-2 Blues.

Yeah 6-1 may be a bit on the high side of predictions, no pun intended...No weight, this is the blues, I say 5-1 :). I'll settle for any win to get us going at home.

:lol: :lol: Put your crack-pipe down & step away slowly. I say 4-2 Blues.

I'm puttin a troll-watch on you.

I said I don't like the Blues and would like to see them severly beaten. I'm being optimistic not realistic.

If Osgood plays, 2-1 Blues.

If Johnson plays 3-2 Sharks

I'll say 4-1 Sharks
Goals by Marleau, Stuart, Cheechoo, and Hannan
Go Sharks!

San Jose has some fresh legs with Patrick up.

San Jose 4 St. Louis 3

Toskala starts (hopefully), and Scotty Thornton makes good on his contract extension with 1 G 1 A.

Blues 4 Sharks 3

That's right! Mess with Patrick (or mess up his name), and you'll have ME to answer to!! Grrr!! ;)

Ya guys think Rossmueller will do well tonight :D

5-2 Blues. Even without Shark-killer MacInnis, they should dominate tonight. They're not on top of the Central Division for nothing. They should compete all year long, though as soon as Detroit finds their legs (and with Dats making moves like the one he made last game, it won't be long), they should beat them for the division winner seed in the playoffs.

Goals by Weight, Demitra (2), Jackman, and Tkachuk for STL, Marleau and Cheechoo for SJ. Patrick should buzz, but no goals. (Sorry, Serena! Please don't shoot me!)

~Crazed.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no goals for Weight tonight (he's still suspended, right?).

:)

Tkachuk and Demitra will have a big night, unfortunately. On the positive side, I get to boo Pronger some.... so it won't be a total loss (except in the standings).

Weight is serving out a 4-game suspension, so you might want to reduce your St. Louis prediction by one goal.

Oh crud... my initial post even left out the "stone-cold 100% lock" for all STL/SJ games.

Dallas Drake will hit someone from behind into the boards, and STL fans will come over and defend him as "gritty" when we all know he's nothing more than a no-good, cheap-shooting hack.

Crazed: He may not score in his first game, but I sure hope he does. You're off the hook. ;)

Patty: That's just wrong, man... :rant: (How can I go about beating down the mod??) :p

By the way....I hope you all appreciate the loss of sleep involved for me here.... :D

4-2 Blues, Cheech and McCauley for the Sharks.

I'm glad Rathje is out tonight. I cant stand all the people saying bad things about him just because he's not flashy. Although it's going to hurt are team, you guys well see tonight why Rathje is important to this team.

i think the sharks can win this one

...but won't

3-3 tie. rissmiller will have a point in his debut. damphousse finally gets a goal.

:lol: :lol: This coming from Sharks fans who defended Marchment when he was on San Jose. You might want to look at McKlaren's BLATANT elbow to Zednik's face during the first round of the 2001-02 playoffs. :teach:

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-RIKE ONE!!

2 - 0 Sharks.


McAuley and Sturm.

The Sharks havn't ha d a tie for a while.
How about I predict: 2 - 2 tie and Nabokov has a good game.

Goals by Cheechoo + Primau. No points by our defense.

How embarrassing. I'd completely forgotten about Weight's suspension. Either way, I'm guessing 5-2.

I'm off to the game. :D

~Crazed.

PS. If you want to look for me, look for a red sweater that says "BOSTON" on it. I love college hockey sweaters!

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-RIKE ONE!!
What?? They can flame the Blues,but I can't flame back?? Bunch of homers!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Doug Weight= Most Hated player of mine.....Remember when Marchment laid him out fairly when he was an oiler? then the little baby came back and threw a tempertantrum.... FURRRY

I also hate Dallas Drake, I dislike Mellanby sp?...I dont like Keith T... Dont want to boucher his last name.

That HockeyCrazed. What a jerk :p. He always goes to these games and doesn't invite me . . . :(

I was coming on here to cause a little bit of trouble with him, but seeing as how he's at the game, that would be pretty hard. That, and he's pretty darned close to the final score. I say 6-3 Blues, and I'm going out on a limb and saying Demitra gets the trick.

Dislike Mellanby???

Doug Weight's stock for me did drop a bit when he went ballistic on the Marchment hit where Weight got taken out for trying to avoid the hit. That one was his fault. (Granted, Marchment had plenty of other questionable events.) I still like Weight for the most part though, because I liked him as a rookie and I'm loyal like that, for better or worse.

Hooray for Rissmiller! I mentioned it in another thread, but I'm just so thrilled for Rissmiller. I've even edited his profile to say Patrick, which he apparently improves. That made me realize I always say "Patrick Marleau." "Pat" Rissmiller rolls off the tongue easier than "Patrick." It's the rule of four syllables. "Patrick Marleau" sounds better than "Pat Marleau." I've had a habit of saying "Patrick Falloon" some too, just cause it sounds better.

Stupid Osh! (Sorry, that was just fun to say. Probably one reason you all subconsciously didn't vote me for moderator :) )

1-0 Blues Baron,with assists to Tkachuck & Nickulas

Already 1-0. This looks like an imminent 3-7-6-1 record. This team has got to take action if they want to clean up the early season mess. Maybe get at least one more star player. For once I want to see them WIN at home.

i'm listening to the game on radio tonight and they interviewed doug wilson during the 1st intermission. i gotta say, even if he has yet to prove himself in action, i really like the things he says.

a couple details:
he confirmed his interest in comrie, but didn't give away anything we don't already know.

mentioned he's getting a lot of calls from other gm's and is always open to any deal that will improve the team, but it's gotta a deal that improves the team short-term and long-term (no "band aids").

said (paraphrasing), "i told [the cleveland prospects] if i made a deal for anyone that's not significantly better than them, they should come across my desk and punch me in the face."

he believes the sharks are really coming together as a team and starting to play for each other.

goal disallowed (again)!

wow, sharks gotta be happy with these calls. this one was nothing like the washington no-goal though.

2-0 Blues, Nickluas with assists to Jackman & Khavanov :yo: :yo: :handclap:

2-0. I'm really starting to get fed up with the bad penalties and the consequences that follow. Is Ron Wilson even NOTICING this? The Sharks look good offensively, but the defense and discipline has got to improve.

If I didn't think the NHL refs were a joke prior to that call, I ABSOLUTELY DO NOW! Whata Joke! I'm a Sharks fan, and if that wasn't the worst call I have ever seen????? :dunno:

2nd blues goal doesn't count, a shark player "accidently" knocked the net off its moorings. :madfire: :rant: :shakehead

Isn't that when refs discretion comes in.... comon, any person who actually SAW the play would know that that goal woulda been good with or without that "accident"

First Wieght, now Tkatchuk....WTF...Blues players are losing respect in my book.

Good riddance to Tkachuk. Some player he is. The refs are finally going the Sharks way for once.

Holy Christ.....Wilson needs to re-think his PP units.

Ugh. Another penalty against San Jose. This team needs discipline badly.

NOW it's 2-0 Blues, Drake assisted by Pronger :handclap: :yo:

3-0 Blues, Danton,assisted by Nicklaus & Khavanov

2 goals by sturm on a 5-3 pp. sharks are making a game of it.

tie game now! ricci!

wow

Sharks tie it up!!!!!!!!!!

3 goals in 45 seconds. now thats what i call a comeback.

Cannot believe what's going on :shakehead :cry: :(

WOW! Way to go Sturm and Ricci! First a 3-0 deficent and now a 3-3 tie in 45 seconds with a point for San Jose! Kill St. Louis in OT!

cajanek scores. blues win.

well, the sharks are lucky to even get a point. it was quite a comeback just to get the game tied. good game by sturm.

Sharks lose but still pick up a point :)

Cajanek takes it back for the Blues. They shouldn't have had to play OT.

Ack! I really Nabokov should've been more patient on that shot. Blues 4 Sharks 3 F/OT. Well, one point is better than nothing. Especially after a 3 goal comeback. Good job Sharks.

That no-look/pass/give-away/goal by Stuart was a joke. The Sharks played a great 14 minutes, the rest was garbage. It is nice to see what a puss Chris "Turtle" Pronger is. Dishes the cheapshots all the time but when someone tough stands up to him he wimps out. What a wussy!!!
Go Thornton!

I had to post this before someone said "We got a point". :mad:

Cajanek takes it back for the Blues. THey shouldn't have had to play OT.

Shouldn't have but did :) Sharks pick up point, which is something that they didn't deserve for the first 50 minutes of the hockey game.

Cajanek takes it back for the Blues. THey shouldn't have had to play OT.
VERY VERY TRUE... Worst referree'd game I've ever seen, Luckily it was in the Sharks favor tonight. But if I was a Blue's fan, or if those kinda calls went against the Sharks, Id'a broken everything in my house! Pretty Pathetic!

But a Lucky point for the Sharks, and a decent effort to take advantage of those calls, finally, in the third!

Tonight's SNOG goes to the exiled one...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/383490/snotg.jpg

LOS TIBURONES!!! Blues 4 Sharks 3

Thats some Nostradamus bullshizzle!

Blues get ****ed by the refs almost every game, we're used to it...

It might have looked a bit different on TV, but most of the calls looked warranted from Section 203. Great game both ways, and I hope Tkachuk is suspended for at least 5 games. :D

~Crazed.

I must say, though, that the instigator penalty is going to be the death of the NHL if they don't get rid of it. Instead of protecting players, it causes them injury. Would Tkachuk have cross-checked Davison if he knew that Parker would take him apart for doing so? I think not. He'd know that he'd have a one-way ticket to a hospital because Parker would quite literally tear him apart.

Note to NHL: 3rd man in, good penalty. Instigator bad. Unga! (Note the "caveman-ese," so Buttman can understand it...)

~Crazed.

Tkachuk better get a good punishment. Also did you see Quinvilles quotes on the play? Omg. Somones getting sour because the Sharks got a point out of it. Third period and on was great! I almost turned the tv off for the lack of sleep i've gotten over the past week, then I decided whats an hour of sleep going to do. Turned back on the tv....Minutes later Sturm got a goal, 20 seconds later bam another one.

McLaren played a great game! I wish Rathje was in uniform.. Tom Preissing is SLOW! Primeau and Rathje wouldve helped the cause of the game.

Hannan also played very good. Nabby couldnt do much about the first 3 but the fourth he just got jumpy.

Great game Sharkies... !! Too bad I can't see them Saturday

I only heard the game on the net. If Tkachuk's attack of Davsion was a crosscheck to the neck area as the radio team indicated it should be a 7-10 game suspension.

The officials made the correct call on the disallowed goal. If the net is off the ice even a sixteen of an inch they have to disallow the goal. The rule is idiotic but the call was right. Since Hannan dislodged the net there should be a penalty to San Jose regardless of whether it was intentional. IMO a 2 minute penalty if deemed unintentional and 5 minutes if intentional.

Wow if I was an NHL defensmen id be moving the net all the time when the other team has a scoring chance. I can't believe they disallowed the second St. Louis goal. That rule is a joke. Refs should have the ability to say it was barely moved by the opposing team and the goal stands....just pathetic by the NHL last night.

If you award a goal when the nets are an inch off the moorings and a goal is scored along the ice then you create more problems. What do you do when a puck that would have gone over the net goes in because the net was an inch off the pegs?

SNOG!!!!! I hope to make this a regular occurrence. I think the trick is to pick either a tie or the Sharks losing by a goal. lol.

It should be by the ref's descretion...If the net barely moved and made no difference at all...then the ref should say its a goal.

Amazing third period and overtime last night. From the first two and a half periods I thought the Sharks had no chance of mounting a comeback.

Anyone else think that Stuart drop pass in OT was a bad idea?

Weak turnover by Stuey, and Nabby dropped way too early.

Surprised Davison's hit wasn't mentioned. Rob's really needs some more credit. The guy is the only hard hitting dman we have right now. McLaren isn't playing like the mean SOB he should be, shame on him.

Technically, the refs have the perogative to allow the goal by current rules. The only reason a goal should be called off is because either (a) the defensive player was pushed into the net, or (b) because an offensive player pushed it off for whatever reason. In the case of a defensive player accidentally pushing it off, they can either call a penalty or allow the goal. Most of the time, they allow the goal, but this time, for some reason, they did neither. I guess the replay official said that the defender was pushed in, which on replay at the Tank was a bad call. Officials are human, too. Mistakes happen.
