"Mic up Kiefer Sherwood"
"Do Sherwood next"
"Get Kiefer on the mic"
"I wanna hear Woody"
Okay. 🎙️👀

While coaching the Edmonton Oilers, Dallas Eakins famously said the following during a postgame. It is unclear if there is negative correlation between hits and puck possession, O-zone time, or team success.

👤: Você acha que as pessoas às vezes têm a impressão de que não só os jogadores de hóquei, mas os atletas profissionais, são unidimensionais, e isso surpreende as pessoas porque elas acham que tudo o que você faz é hóquei?
Trouba: Sim, acho que com certeza. Acho que, para mim, havia uma percepção pública de quem eu era esse jogador de hóquei malvado, raivoso, físico... simplesmente não é quem eu sou como pessoa. Eu contei isso para outra pessoa, mas tive uma conversa com alguém que me disse: "você tem dois minutos e alguém vai te colocar numa caixa em conversa, e cabe a você determinar em qual caixa você é colocado". E acho que eu posso liderar com o hóquei, é isso que eu faço e como sou percebido neste mundo. Eu posso liderar como Jacob, o artista, aí estou numa caixa diferente e você pensa em mim de forma completamente diferente. Não que esse fosse o objetivo, mas acho que é uma forma poderosa de simplesmente me mostrar.

From the ice to the art studio. 🎨
@TaraSlone sat with Sharks defenseman, Jacob Trouba, for a behind-the-scenes look at his art studio in the latest episode of The Undercurrent: teal.sjsharks.com/trk/5xTwc

Gear Note: Laurent Brossoit is still breaking in his Hometown Remix pads, while Lukáš Dostál, Ville Husso and the rest of the group are back in black and orange.

Twice as many points as Bowen Byram. Tied with Zach Hyman in points. #SJSharks #RespectHim

Ilya Sorokin is the proj. starter the #SJSharks face tonight. Mixed bag & low sample in high-danger areas where he has D (Stanley, Mayfield, Pelech) w/ size that can clear the crease. But look at that red between the faceoff circles: he's oddly given up 10 there already.

A simple analysis but just a reality check for folks. The following are the players, D+2, minimum 19 GP since 2005, who are scoring at a similar rate to Michael Misa

My favorite moment from a preds game is when someone tried to toss a catfish over the glass and failed

Sounds familiar when Ed Belfour didn’t play for Dallas in the first year upon his return to San Jose in 1997-98

it makes sense when you look at the schedule ahead too, with two straight games against the Caps coming up this week. the Jets are the best opponent to roll a backup against.
that! being! said!!!
Sheldon Keefe cites Connor Hellebuyck's workload as a big reason he won't play in Winnipeg. That would have been his 4th start in 8 days.
"From our perspective, when you zoom out, this is a goaltender that is not going to play every single game of the season. You’re always looking for times to give him a night off."
