game score,and commentary...

St. Louis Blues 3,San Jose Sharks 1... Sharks took the gas tonight... at least,they also only lasted five games,against the Blues... however,after winning first game,in double overtime,3-2,the Sharks did lose four straight... there should be upheaval,in front office,in San Jose,this summer... after two straight years of reaching the Western Conference Finals,the Sharks thought they had the pieces of a consistent winner,and they got steamrolled by the Blues... if you want to compare the Red Wings,to the Sharks:they are two disappointments of teams,this year,with some of the same problems,no doubt,but where is the difference is in the front office... i simply would take Red Wings' general manager Ken Holland,and assistant general manager Jim Nill,to fix the "holes"(as you put it),in the team,over the front office,of the Sharks(basically because,of team pedigree,of winning four Stanley Cups,and twenty-one straight Stanley Cup playoff appearances)... i have always said that the Sharks are a very good team,but honestly,having a good regular season team,does not do much,if your team goes down in flames,almost every playoff year... the last time the Red Wings got tossed in first round,was in 2006,against Edmonton,in six games,and since then have had a Stanley Cup winner(2008),and have had a seven game Finals' loss,to Pittsburgh,in 2009... if i was San Jose,i would cut the "dead weight",in front office,and understand that winning the Stanley Cup,is very,very tough,and stop trying to stock up,with free agents,and just go back to basics(they really do have a really good team)... the biggest flops,of a trade was when they traded Devin Setoguchi,and Dany Heatley,to the Minnesota Wild,for Brent Burns,and Martin Havlat... another difference between the Sharks,and Red Wings,is in their minor league system,because when Red Wings' prospects come up to Detroit,from Grand Rapids(Griffiths),they have enough experience to stick with the Red Wings,and when was the last time that you heard of the Sharks' American Hockey League team(Worcester,Mass Sharks),and a prospect coming up to the Sharks... being a true hockey fan,i am more disappointed in the Sharks' season,than i am in the Red Wings' season,even though both started off very well,and died a miserable exit,to a season...
