Stick a fork in the Pens...they're done.

Tomorrow we get you guys after losing to two weak teams. Hope the Sharks show up.

I knew the Red Wings would suck this year, that 4 game win streak was just an anomaly.

We'll see...I have a game myself at 11, so the recorder on this for when I get home 😀.

We're in need to after that LA loss in OT.

BTW...how bout that 10-0 Jackets Habs game? Guess if you're gonna lose one...may as well lose it good. As a coach, I'd rather fix a shellacking than a 1-0 loss.

Sharks have to be hungry after playing two flat games against weak teams. And with Crosby out, they should have that edge.

Yeah...after 4 or 5 sounds like the Habs just gave up. Now either they will come back strong or they have issues and are going to go on a big slide.

Pens-Sharks...5-0 after 2.

Yawn...

Bet a guy at work $1 as we usually do. He always roots for the Pens even though he knows nothing about hockey. I paid him before the end of the second period.

Yeah...not the best game by the sharks this year. Tough when the goalie (Jones) gets pulled...but honestly, both of Crosby's were soft.

This season has already seen many extreme things to happen , one rookie scored 4 goals in debut just under 11 minutes of playing , 5 power play goals from one team in one period , 10-0 win to end season's most winning team against Montreal Canadiens . I thought Columbus Blue Jackets would run out of cannon balls to fire because they scored whopping number of goals against Montreal

CBJ went from 18th to 3rd in scoring percentage in one night.

Budaj seems to be a competent replacement for Quick so far. Dowd and Doudy are making some inroads on the scoring, so that is positive. IT's going to be a long, grinding season. . .

Washington Capitals trashed the defending Champions Pittsburgh Penguins by 7-1 .It was the biggest win in their account since 1988 when they scored 8 goals to nothing against Pittsburgh Penguins .

Kinda how it goes right? The good team comes around and you play good and the next day when the last place team comes around lose. Sharks are #8 team in conference and lost again last night to the last place Coyotes.

[UncleWede]

Just the opposite when the barely trailing team comes in to play the first place Schmucks of Anaheim. Kings were up 3-0 to start the 3rd, shots were way in favor of Kings, and yet we STILL almost let them back into the game. Final 3-2.

[finaloption]

Las Vegas Golden Knights lol

@jgoens what's up between sharks and Burns? Going to let him come play with championship team in LA?

Signed an 8 year contract with Sharks. Going to be a King killer for a while. He obviously thinks the Sharks can bring a cup at some point.

[UncleWede]

Dang, but I guess if you are used to waiting, 8 years isn't all THAT long to hope for a cup.

As far as waiting, how long did Kings fans wait?

I still have a McSorely jersey . . .

Sharks and Kings...intense and physical as always.

[TO 335]

Young Leafs doing better then we all expected lost to Calgary last night after beating Edmonton day before. Only 1 point out of a playoff spot let's see what happens. Columbus has been a big surprise loved the smashing they gave Montreal couple weeks ago

My phone was totally drained and charging so I didn't get a notice until it was already 3-1. Watched 10 minutes of the 3rd before crawling into bed, then got the last 2 ESPN updates from somewhere near dreamland.

So many teams are just hit/miss depending on the night they paly.
