You trust Niemi? I sure as heck don't.

bigger issues than that though. if the team in front is playing poorly the goaltender doesn't matter.

3 games between the Stars and Sharks lef ton the schedule, they will be big games.

while Niemi hasnt been good

our offense over the last couple games has been s**tty

we have too much offense to only put up 2 goals in three games

I think I realized when our team was fighting hard a few weeks back, playing their hearts out, but still losing.. that told me one really sad thing.

We just. aren't. good enough.

We can play as hard as we want, but we're just not good enough. Our depth isn't good enough. And I just don't see anything from this team to believe they're anything more than "OK".

Really depressing. Not holding my breath on anything clicking, but I'd expect more out of this group:

Top 6-caliber forwards:
Pavelski, Thornton, Marleau, Havlat, Couture, Clowe, Galiardi

3rd-line depth:
Handzus, Wingels, Ferriero, Winnick, Moore

4th-line checkers and sparks:
Mitchell, Winchester, Desjardins, Sheppard

Clowe has had a down year, Havlat has been hurt. Galiardi is a 3rd line talent this season. I really see you guys as have 4 top-6 caliber forwards (Thornton, Marleau, Pavelski, Couture).

Your 3rd and 4th line have been non-existent this year. McGinn was the only depth guy that looked good but you guys swapped him for Galiardi.

Basically it. Three of our top 6 are not playing like it -- or simply.. not playing..

SDN, do you live in Dallas? I'm going to the Sharks vs. Stars game Thursday.

Tonight is a MUST WIN.

Yep, will be moving to San Mateo in April, found a new sweet place to rent.

Stars are my team because when I got into the sport, Mike Modano was the best American so I followed them, now I'm stuck!

Here we go again

Call a timeout

only 10 seconds into the game

Seriously, they held a 90 minute practice yesterday

and all that hard work is erased after 10 seconds into the game

Dubnick will shut out the sharks

LOL THIS TEAM IS GARBAGE!!!
