Sharks stink right now but this season you never know what to expect from them.
A few pregame things to expect.
EK65 will spin his stick like Darth Maul
Hertl will wink at sharks fans near the glass
Burns will figure skate
After that only Gooc knows.
PS Fuck you Hockey Gods!

The San Jose Sharks will travel on the road to Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday evening as they get set for a Western Conference showdown against the Nashville Predators.
The Predators are trying to battle their way out of the cellar in the Central Division standings after compiling just 31 points and a 13-10-5 overall record through their first 28 games. Nashville comes into the week in second-last place in the Central but they can climb the standings with strong performance over their next few contests. The Predators have a few games in hand on their division counterparts and are only six points back of the Winnipeg Jets for a top-three spot in the division standings. Meanwhile, San Jose has also fallen short of expectations this year, racking up just 32 points in 32 games.
Can the Predators climb back into playoff contention with a victory at home over the Sharks on Tuesday night?
Typically tough in the defensive zone, San Jose has ranked among the worst defensive teams in the league this season. The Sharks have surrendered 3.44 goals per game, which ranks 28th in the NHL, yet they’ve managed to tighten up in shorthanded situations. Through 32 games, San Jose ranks as the NHL’s best penalty-killing team at 88.5 percent.
Jones is scheduled to be back between the pipes for the Sharks on the road in Nashville on Tuesday. Jones comes in with a 12-11-1 overall record to go along with a 3.28 GAA and .889 save percentage in 24 starts this season but he’s allowed four goals or more in each of his last three starts. Playing away from home hasn’t been easy for the veteran goaltender, who is 3-6-1 with a 3.68 GAA and .879 save percentage in 11 road games (10 starts) this season. He’s made two starts against the Predators already this season, going 1-1-0 with a 2.45 GAA and .898 save percentage in those matchups.
Predators continue to struggle on the power play
The Predators snapped a two-game slide with a 6-4 victory at home against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Nick Bonino scored the game-winner in the third period while Filip Forsberg, Yakov Trenin, Dante Fabbro, Daniel Carr, and Rocco Grimaldi all added goals for Nashville in the win. Veteran goaltender Pekka Rinne stopped 29 of the 33 shots that he faced on the night to help Nashville come away with the win despite coming up empty on all six of their power-play opportunities. They have also given up four shorthanded goals while killing off only 75.8 percent of their penalties for the season.
Nashville struggled to keep pace in the standings thanks in part to a special teams unit that ranks near the bottom of the league. After an 0-for-6 performance on the power play on Sunday, the Predators now rank 25th in the NHL with the man advantage at just 15.5 percent.
Rinne is expected to patrol the crease for the Predators at home on Tuesday night. The 37-year-old hasn’t missed a beat this season, going 10-4-3 with a 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage in 17 starts. Rinne was stellar in his only start of the season against the Sharks, allowing just two goals on 35 shots in a win back on Oct. 8.

Pete addressing why no one stepped up for Kane. No real answer. Kane correctly pointed out nobody did this.

Karlsson with a very bad turnover appears to blame Vlassic.
