commentary...

before you criticize my Sharks' critique too much:let me remind you that when you do not change the team dynamic for five different seasons(having Joe Thornton,and Patrick Marleau,as your team's top guns during that time),and have an AHL team that has not produced any really big scoring help,besides Logan Couture,in years,and your total points go from 117,in 2008-2009,to 96,in 2011-2012,the rest of the NHL either has gotten better,or your team has become static,has not gotten any better,or besides your goaltender,your team has not seen any noticeable improvement on your team roster,which is the fault of the front office,and not your coach,who is one of the best in the NHL... give your coach some team roster help,and maybe the Sharks will improve,and move further into the Stanley Cup playoffs... i never said that the Sharks were not a Stanley Cup contender,did i??? they are a contender,as long as Niemi is in net,because he is one of the best goaltenders,in the NHL,period...
