commentary...

one team that has surprised me in a negative way has been the San Jose Sharks... they started 7-0-0,this season,but they lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets,6-2,last night,and have been 0-3-2,over the last five games... their power play has gone dormant,and yet they are only one point ahead,of the fifth seed the Detroit Red Wings,who honestly started off very slowly,but has won three in a row... the Sharks play the Nashville Predators,in Nashville,tonight,but they stunk up the joint,in Columbus,last night,and they have begun a six game road trip last night,and they are not playing not like one of the best teams of the NHL,at least,right now... good for the Sharks,they are only one point,behind the Anaheim Ducks,in the Pacific Division,so if they can straighten their season out,but,bad for the Sharks,winning in Nashville,tonight,then playing the Chicago Blackhawks twice in the next three games,in Chicago,with the St. Louis Blues in between,in St. Louis,and then to end the road trip in Dallas,to play the Stars,is a very tough road to hoe,because beating those teams in their arenas is going to be very tough,especially in Chicago,and St. Louis... they need to practice,and hone their offense,and tighten up on their defense around their goaltender,and their net,because letting in six goals/a game will not help,like last night... they really should be in the Stanley Cup playoffs,this season,and that is a very good thing for them...
