Tim Chiasson: Possession Does Matter: Score-Adjusted Fenwick and the Playoffs The Sharks are in a favorable position despite having nearly destroyed their entire season early.

Early in the year the Sharks had the worst schedule ever (literally) so they should benefit from having a softer schedule the rest of the season.

Playing well over the next 7 games will go a long way as well considering the standings implications.

Yeah especially 5 of those games our division games. Edm, S.L., @Ana, @L.A., Van, @Ana....that's the rest of December games. If we can win all 5 of those division games that'll be huge............ Good write up Tim always like your analytic takes, i don't always agree with analytic's but i don't ignore them either, they have there place along with regular old stats.

Looks like the Sharks got Metallica to perform for the Stadium Series.

You know what'd be awesome for Metalica to play "seek & destroy" live when the Sharks skate onto the ice Nothing like some live intro music!!!!

Thanks!

Nieto's had a setback might be out through the christmas break, Todd took him out huh Tim Goodrow & Karlsson here's their chance for a 3rd line spot cause when Nieto comes back i'd like to who ever doesn't make that 3rd line spot send them back to Worchester it's a waste to play Goodrow or Karlsson on the 4th line. Also Sharks talking about loaning Mirko to the Swiss team for the upcoming World Junior Tournament...... send him atleast he'd be able to play.

McLellan probably clubbed Nieto for being the best possession player. How dare he play well.

They should definitely send Mueller to the WJHC, then send him back to his junior club from there. The press box is no place for a kid on a regular basis.

Yeah the Sharks have definitely have srewed up with Mirko, they rushed him up paiired him with Burns hoping that was somehow gunna work.I wish they'd play him on the 3rd pair with Tennyson give that a shot cause i have no idea what they see in Irwin it boggles my f*cking mind and Hannan is nothing more than 7th defenseman.Sharks should've known if Mirko's up he's gotta play if not send him down plain and simple. The 3rd defensive pair is definitely the Sharks great weakness and has to be improved before the playoffs.
