Sharks over Nashville….

The Sharks won the game against Nashville, but to be frank about it, they really didn’t deserve it. First period was beyond flat, the only saving grace being Nabokov, who kept the game close. They improved as the game went on, but we’ll chalk this one up to a steal for Nabokov. Can’t complain, the sharks need a few of those, too.

Roenick continues to impress me, and was playing on the Thornton line much of the night. Cheechoo is working hard but accomplishing little right now. He’ll get there, but he’s visiting the fourth line a lot right now.

Three stars in the building: Nabokov, Roenick, Torrey Mitchell, who continues to look nice. My three stars were Nabokov, Roenick and Grier, who was the only shark that seemed to be accomplishing much at times.

Goc was a healthy scratch. Rob Davison dressed as a 7th D, played some D, played some forward. Both teams were fairly grumpy, almost as if they carried a grudge or something. Wonder why?

Tonight was also weird bounce night, with lots of pucks going off stanchions in random directions. For once, most of he weird bounces seemed to benefit the sharks. It was also a two pane of glass evening, with one cracked pane going out during the 2nd period, and a 2nd pane changed out before the third period started.

two points; I’ll take it, even if it wasn’t pretty. and it wasn’t pretty.
