Hopefully, Labanc can play and Donskoi still plays.
If Labanc's out, I think Radil should play on Thornton's line.

Hurt or benched?

Had to be benched, dude was s**t tonight. This team just has to start off well Sunday and no doubt have to avoid being down early. They have to score first

Yeah he was. Was pissing me off. Gotta be ready to f**king play.

Tru dat. I hope they keep the emphasis on bunching together. IMO it helped them keep things at arm's length. It'll be more hostile next game and Vegas'll probably sell out more to keep things in the Shark's zone.

Seriously can't believe Marchessault is arguing the highs stick after knocking Couture's teeth out, lol.

They are just playing lawyerball. I wish the Sharks would do more of that.

This team needs an enforcer BAD. Can't have our best guys like Kane doing all the punishment.

Lol nooooooooooo

If we can somehow pull off a game 6 victory I like our chances at home in a a game 7. That's a big IF though

If Jones plays like he did this last game I think we can win both games. Vlasic being healthy and Joe back on the third line made a huge difference.

Now that Vegas will be back at home, they get to choose the line matchups. Gonna be big, need to minimize stone's line production.

That would mean Haley back and I think we are better with Donskoi in there. More athletic. Donkskoi has played well and caused some issues for Vegas, drawn some penalties etc

That's a big gripe I have with DeBoer. He doesn't use enforcers as they should be used. He seems to think that an "enforcer" is a pest that's job is to get under the skin of the other enforcer.

But, I get that he's trying to have four scoring lines - in which case it's baffling why he didn't start Donskoi on the 4th line earlier and groom Gambrell. Instead, he kept trying to make the 4th line a non factor with Haley or Radil.

Anyway, I think the 4th line of Donskoi - Goodrow - Melker is in a good place now. They are facing elimination, so not much need for enforcers anyway. And the Haley injury luckily made DeBoer do the right thing. I just hope he doesn't try to bring back Haley to line 4 if he benches Labanc.

Yeah good points, I'm not talking about in this series. Haley is nothing special. I'm talking about long term. We need a Tom Wilson type guy.

This!!!!! Haley has no damn business playing in this series! For the first time in forever the 4th line looked like it belong in the NHL. We need all the potential scoring against Vegas, if they want to goon it up you get in their face and s**t but you just play your game. Game 4 was a perfect example of what happens when you let that no talent goon Reaves get in your head, beat them on the score board and give them serious doubt forcing game 7.

Sharks play physical as well, difference is stone and marshesault actually have skill. Haley brings absolutely no skill what so ever NONE and we can't afford for him to take a dumb penalty. Him getting hurt was a blessing because deboer is enamored with him, the 4th line with Haley is an absolute death sentence if Gallant plays that stone, pac, stastny line against them
