As a sharks addict. This has been one of the best years ive felt in years. Not just with hockey. Life. Life is better wheb the boys are competitive. Ive been waiting so long and still cant believe things are turnjng around. Go Sharks
The Sharks are doing great right now. The Young kids are starting to gel. They’re not a Playoff Team yet. They don’t know playoff Hockey. They’re just now figuring out how to hang on to leads in the 3rd period. Still a couple of Years away from being true Contenders.
Last season the Sharks were in a lot of games until the 3rd period. As a group they’ve learned how to play in a close game and prevail in the end.
But I don’t think they can endure multiple playoff rounds. The young guys will get targeted and worn down.
This current trip will tell a lot. The go back to Minnesota and Seattle after just winning there 2 weeks ago. Beating a competent team twice on the road in a short period of time says something
In the last 7 games, the team has given up 2 goals in 3 of the games (in regulation) and 1 goal in each game for the other 4.
Is that sustainable?
Not really.
Its kind of shocking with that blue line to have those kind of 'goals against' numbers. Still, that its happening — and against good teams — it says this won't be unusual going forward.
