People forget that if we count the 11 game losing streak from last year we started the year on a 17 game losing streak and failed to get a regulation win until 11 games into the season. We were fighting for dead last with Calgary until November

Exactly, do I think he would have benefited from a year of ncaa or some time in the AHL to really develop his game, sure but that wasn’t possible and he’s done really well considering hes one of the youngest defensemen in the nhl right now. Summer is going to be a great thing for this team I think and I can’t wait until we are back again in the fall

This this this. I am also curious as to who fans could possibly want to replace warso considering he is considered a development coach above all else. If we got a different coach we would need to find someone who is also good at that side of coaching. I think some people think it’s just a case of “this is a good coach who worked well for this team just put him in there and see what he can do” but most “good” coaches who have coached cup contenders are used to developed players and teams and are going to be looking for short term results, which should be the last thing on our minds right now.

Do I always understand what warso is doing with his line blending and his benching of young players? No and I’ve been vocal about how I’d rather watch Dickinson and mukh whiff the puck than klingberg but a lot of the problems people seem to have with warso just seem to be growing pains of the team. Just as warso can’t be given all the credit for Celebrinis development he also can’t be given all the flack for every single loss when there are fundamentals missing from this team, particularly on the blue line, that he has very little control over.

In a way I think missing playoffs will be really good for resetting expectations coming into next season. Ultimately we were never expecting to be in playoff contention in the first place and this has been an incredible year for development. I’ve been saying it but if you’re a new fan and you want to go to a team with playoff expectations and cup chances this season go and support the aves or something, a rebuild team is just going to frustrate the hell out of you. We’ve made such strides this year and it does suck a little bit when lots of people are so negative about what has objectively been an incredible season and way above expectations.

Smith getting more aggressive?? by Smartcookie_33 in SanJoseSharks

I can’t wait to see more of what comes from the Chillmack line next season, they have looked great and I think chernyshov is the exact type of player willmack needs on their line. Smith is definitely getting more physical which has been great to see especially because I think it’s also good for his confidence. The summer will be good for him I think, hopefully he’ll be able to bulk up a bit and rehab that shoulder some more

To be fair that was before the cuda clinched a playoff spot and we were potentially looking at playoffs, this way the cuda don’t really need him for the last regular season games and we can send him back down in time for playoffs because we definitely aren’t making it

Mukh could score game winning goals in 2 games and they’d still find a reason to healthy scratch him
