Nevertheless, I don’t see how the addition of Karlsson would provide this club with the type of depth necessary to stage another run for the Cup based on the current makeup of the Penguins roster. If Dubas can pull it off without sacrificing too much of his limited prospect depth it might work out for them. SPECTOR’S NOTE: It’s clear the Penguins intend to shore up the depth around aging stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang in the hope of staging one final run for the Stanley Cup with that group. Acquiring the Sharks defenseman would also sacrifice more of the Penguins’ organizational depth by draining an already shallow prospect pool.

Molinari points out the Penguins are already “reasonably solid” on the right side of their defense plus they’re already pressed for salary-cap space next season without taking on part of Karlsson’s $11.5 million salary-cap hit. PITTSBURGH HOCKEY NOW: Dave Molinari finds the interest in Karlsson by Penguins president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas to be “more than a little perplexing.” Whatever happened, that deal died later in the day. The Penguins were reportedly very close to acquiring Karlsson on July 1. This is the 2nd-worst shutout loss in #SJSharks history: They lost 9-0 to Devils on 10/26/91, 8-0 to Penguins on 12/5/91, 8-0 to Coyotes on 12/30/06, 8-0 to Preds tonight.San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson (NHL Images). Gadjovich follows by actually winning something for the Sharks, a quick and decisive TKO over Harpur Good fight in the stands, better than what we're seeing on the ice /8jtNA0IHZhĪn actually (I think) earnest "Let's go Sharks!" chant goes up, ever so faintly, with #SJSharks down 8-0. Ladies & gentlemen, your 2021-22 San Jose Sharks /2MvuZkkyQn But poor goaltending, a team not good enough to drive play (to keep Nashville from peppering Stalock from all sides), this is what you get. The San Jose Sharks have actually had the best scoring chances tonight, I think. Luff goal: That’s the third goal tonight by Nashville’s 4th line. Nice sequence by Barabanov (94), made Forsberg (9) look bad /om8PT6AaWBĢ left: What a stretch pass from Burns to Hertl for breakaway. Burns had everyone thinking shot from point.ġ0 in: Barabanov put Forsberg through spin cycle. But Sharks get a break.Ĩ in: Good feed by Burns to Middleton who was down low. Actually, Tomasino.įor Boughner, another bad bounce, how do you keep guys up and going?Īctually think Forsberg had a point there, Couture interfered with him. But one thing of note is the traffic: The San Jose Sharks are terrible at sustaining possession of the puck, they don’t have the soldiers for that, so they rarely have that kind of traffic. Still don’t know who scored there for Nashville. The Sharks aren’t making the playoffs, but can Boughner show that he can still get a response out of his guys?ġ in: Dzingel with an opportune stick lift on Carrier, who has an open net. Through the All-Star break, I thought he had done a really good job of getting guys to buy in, getting the San Jose Sharks to play a certain way. Period 2īoughner, in my mind, is auditioning for his job. That said, best chance of period was probably Dzingel’s post and Stalock let in two bad ones. Preds were definitely in Stalock’s kitchen more. On the other hand, Natural Stat Trick had it 4-1 High-Danger ATTEMPTS at 5v5 for Nashville. SPORTLOGiQ had it 2 Slot Shots apiece, that doesn’t sound bad. Not enough, of course.įour left: Good effort by Nieto to draw a penalty along the boards.ĭuchene goal: That’s another one that can’t go in on Stalock. Quietly, I think Couture has raised his game a bit recently. Six left: What a Couture cross-slot pass to Dzingel. Then the McCarron shot finds a short side hole, Stalock will want that back. But then Tomasino goes at Merkley on counterattack, Merkley’s gap is poor. McCarron goal: Starts with a hope Balcers’s pass to Hertl - Hertl was across the ice. Another round of applause when they focus on him on jumbotron. Period 1Īlex Stalock gets a warm reception when he’s announced as part of the starting line-up. 2020, but it wasn’t much of a welcome, as the Preds stomped them 8-0.
They also welcomed fan favorite Alex Stalock back into the NHL for his first game since Aug. The San Jose Sharks welcome the Nashville Predators into SAP Center.
