The Chum Line

Unfortunately means it’s probably going to be a tight game haha. This team doesn’t win easily

Worried this is the last time we see Cagnoni as a Shark. Pohlkamp getting better and has an NHL shot that would work on Powerplay. Could see him jumping Cagnoni

3 out of 5 so stupid ofc their d pairing is on the ice. So they have one player on pk who a forward on the ice. That is the point.

By the way something you notice about other teams. They don’t have their 4th line on the ice 6 on 5. They have their best players and best skilled players for a reason…………. Warso doesn’t understand this.

Saying the same thing in year 3 might be an issue no? If the team ain’t playing hard under year it shows your limitations as a coach

Warso cites the team not competitive enough or not trying hard enough. That might be dumbest thing for him to say. It’s the NHL each player is competitive. If it’s year 3 under your tutelage and they aren’t playing hard it’s a response to your coaching. Not even a lines issue

This team will never be a get in pucks pressure team that he wants. We play man to man d in our zone which is rare. Only Carolina I believe does it. This team not suited for that d. This team fast, skilled. This team will turnover puck and that’s fine if they generating o.

Warso issue is that he is fitting round pegs into square holes. I get a lot of these young players need to be molded into NHL players but if they don’t fit in your “identity” and “structure” for +2 years maybe it’s the wrong identity and structure.

Also we play these vets who just turn over the puck and get terrible penalties. So tired of it. So tired of it. We can’t generate o bc there no chemistry. There no chemistry bc I bet Warso going to change everything. And then we go back to same old. So frustrating

Sharks want to play vets who can be trustworthy in d zone but all night I saw that 4th line getting dogged over and over. Yes other lines too but still. Also Sherwood for Marchment. Smith does not have top speed Sherwood does and Sherwood has wicked shot. Easy fit…..

However all that to be said today boils down to incompetent coaching. Dellandrea had a good game but should never be getting 2nd line minutes especially down 1. He can’t score. Double shift Mack as C. Don’t care. Exact same sentiment as entire 4th line.

Think Celebrini didn’t do amazing either. And all of our d an issue. Cags played very badly. Turnovers the puck. Shot too light. Needs to get it onto net. Doesn’t flash enough of his offense. Kesselring was good Dickinson struggled today but still improving which I like

Start off by saying. People have said Smith doesn’t generate without Celebrini think he did good on o today. Worse on d. But he did create. Misa did good in moments as well. Needs to improve defense but we know that. Stenberg struggled today but he is a rook Graf missing

Final game thoughts: Askarov played great but offense was a no show. Generated chances but not enough. D gave up so many quality chances. So many issues. Coaching being #1 in my eyes in this game. Have been Warso defender but ice time and lines etc makes 0 sense this game.

Yah let’s get our 4th line in the game with 6 mins left. A 4th line that hasn’t scored a point all year. Smart.

I can’t logically understand why our 4th line even seeing minutes down 1 in a close 3rd period game. If Smith and Misa get jumped again I’m going to be so pissed.

Gaudette sucks too. Slow getting back on first goal and now costly costly penalty again

Then he saw the ice one more time in the period lol

Def can be a coach issue with this team it’s more of a chemistry issue rn. Will be a Warso issue if he pulls plug and doesn’t let new pairings marinate.

Game depressing. Got to let these lines work but not a fan. We want to balance o out but we don’t balance ice time out. Dellandrea has more ice time than Misa Smith line. Dellandrea who took another awful penalty again. Again I get d draws put out d players but Delly ain’t it
