Welp, that's not good. A Martin Jones/Ilya Samsonov tandem playing in front of defenceman 7-9 on the depth chart (soon to be 8-10 as Timmins gets inevitably injured in the next couple games) sounds like a lot of 5-4 games coming up.

Hot drat Hertl is having the best week of play in his life.

Sucks that they beat the red wings, but I’ve enjoyed watching the Sharks come out swinging. Same with the recent Yotes rise too, even though they got dummied last night. I like when bad teams turn it around.

No one in this thread is going to agree with you. It doesn’t matter how much force is in the contact, Okposo’s stick is in his midsection.

Now let’s get you out on the ice in goalie pads, put you in a butterfly and see how hard it is to push you over. It doesn’t take a lot of force to push people over in that straight up position trying to close off the posts.
Grzelcyk runs into Ullmarks left pad, pushing him backward and turning his body. Okposo's stick is seen going under Ullmark, but not pushing him. Zacha's stick is the one in his midsection, hitting his blocker and it finishes pushing him over, after what Grzrelcyk began. You never actually see Okposo make contact.

Never makes contact but is under his pad making contact. Hmmm... You can't pitchfork the goalie and score, this isn't new.

I guess I should have qualified it by saying "no one that's not a Sabres fan".

I think I learned in physics class that we can never actually "touch" anything as two atoms cannot occupy the same space or something like that. So if you really think about it, that should be a good goal as it's impossible to interfere with the goalie on an atomic level.

Well when you put it that way we can get away with all the penalties too, because they're not actually hitting me with a stick in the face, it's just atomically impossible.

Malkin has been looking a bit washed lately :(. Crosby is still crazy good. EK and Letang have been mostly good outside of the PP. Goaltending has been great.

Honestly their 5v5 play has been mostly fine if they had a functional PP they're a comfortable playoff team but their PP is historically bad and I don't see any reasons to believe it will climb out of that (short of putting a new coach/coaching staff in charge of it).

If they struggle much longer I would probably shitcan Sullivan and see if that does anything. They don't really have anything to lose.
