commentary...

when you are one for the last twenty-three chances,on the power play,and you have lost five of the last seven games,that you have played,and yet,you are only two points,out of first place,in your division(Pacific Division),but Dallas,and Los Angeles(Dallas is tied with San Jose)being a point behind San Jose,means that the Sharks are in deep trouble,without a doubt... it will be a dogfight between the top teams in the Western Conference,but the Sharks have only fifteen wins,and they can catch everybody in the Pacific Division,but with Minnesota,Chicago,Vancouver,and Detroit ahead of them,and for example,Detroit having won nine of the last eleven games,the Sharks may have good offense,but it is not working right now,and even though the defense may be good,the offense is not clicking on any cylinders(losing tonight,to St Louis,1-0),and playing a rather pissed off team in the Blackhawks,in Chicago,tomorrow afternoon,who the Sharks did beat,1-0,a few weeks ago,and the Blackhawks are one point ahead of Red Wings,as of now,so Chicago will have a rough edge,looking for two points,and a little payback,for the shutout,by the Sharks,November 23rd... so the Sharks better come out firing on all cylinders,or Chicago may have a free lunch,tomorrow afternoon,because the Blackhawks are looking for the valuable two points,which both teams need quite badly...
