commentary...

reports say that the San Jose Sharks are keeping general manager Doug Wilson,and head coach Todd McLellan... what are the Sharks going to do? restock the team??? unfortunately,they have too many of the major starters who have no movement,or no trade clauses,so how do you change the culture of losing playoff teams when you can not get rid of players who know only of playoff losing??? if you do not get rid of your general manager,or head coach,after saying that you are very disappointed in their play in the Stanley Cup playoffs,over the last few years,you honestly deserve a team with a basic static roster over the last few years that goes nowhere near the Stanley Cup,Hasso Plattner(owner of the Sharks)... i blame both the head coach,and general manager for this debacle of a team,with an owner who has no guts to really change the real toxic culture of playoff losing that has developed over the years... no matter what is said in San Jose,that fact is not going to change,because the Sharks think they have a team to compete for the Stanley Cup,year after year... if that is the case,where are the yearly results??? here is an example of a team trying to improve:the Red Wings,whose AHL team is one of the best teams,and a front office who seems to bring up very good young players,when needed,and when the team has a terrible year,injury-wise,they still make the playoffs for the 23rd straight season... i know that the Red Wings are a team in transition,but the future for the team is bright,when you have a front office,and a farm system that is active,and very anxious to improve... the problem with the Sharks (and i have said this for years,have i not said it???)is the fact that they have a static front office,who believes that they have the right mix of players,year after year,and every year,they flame out like a candle being snuffed out by teams who are simply better,in the Stanley Cup playoffs every single year... it is really too bad for the loyal and true fans of the Sharks,who honestly deserve a chance to see the Stanley Cup raised in San Jose,but with this team,there is no chance... PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!!!!
