commentary...

the San Jose Sharks lost to the Nashville Predators,6-2,and looked bad in doing it... as of right now,they are in second in Pacific Division,behind the Phoenix Coyotes,and seventh,in the Western Conference,and are falling in the conference... Phoenix beat the Edmonton Oilers,3-1... question:what has happened to the Sharks? they really stink,and have given up too many goals,recently,and losing to the Columbus Blue Jackets in their game,6-3,and then beating the Toronto Maple Leafs,2-1,and then laying a big EGG tonight,against Nashville,in losing,6-2(being out-scored,13-7,in the last three games),does not bode well,with their goaltending(giving up an average of four goals plus,a game)... i may not like the Sharks,but i am very concerned with their overall team,because they really,and simply stink,and pundits have said that goaltending may be their strength,and yet,they give up too many goals,overall,and playoff teams do not give up that many goals,in a seven game series... their overall defense around the net is just terrible,and yet,pundits still think that the Sharks will round into playoff shape,which may still happen... if they do not improve,overall,they will be looking at the playoffs,from San Jose,instead of first round success,and a possible run at Stanley Cup... i have told you that the Sharks traded away too much grit,especially a supreme pest,in Devin Setoguchi,to Minnesota,thinking being a finesse team,like the Red Wings,was bought,not earned,but Red Wings does have enough grit,toughness,and talent to compete for the Stanley Cup,at least for the last 21 seasons,including this season...
