San Jose Sharks squander three-goal lead as Ryan Warsofsky’s coaching decisions spark controversy. Can Maclin Celebrini and the Sharks’ young core regain their momentum after a crushing 4–3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers?
JD Young breaks down the Sharks’ OT collapse, questioning the choice to start overtime with two defensemen against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl while leaving Celebrini on the bench. The analysis spotlights standouts Sam Dickinson and Michael Misa, examines Askarov’s resilient goaltending, and scrutinizes how the Sharks’ third-period “turtle” cost them a critical win. Key segments include William Eklund’s two-way impact, Collin Graf’s defensive prowess, and the looming impact of missed points on San Jose’s playoff hopes.
Will Warsofsky trust his best players in crunch time moving forward? Stay tuned for in-depth Sharks analysis and a preview of Saturday’s redemption shot against the Calgary Flames.

That delay of game by ferraro was super ridiculous. He had all the time in the world and he just dropped a turd
3rd period and OT was so hard to watch, just had to sit and wait for the inevitable comeback loss
Warso needs to get his head out of his ass or fired. You cannot tuetle and play to not lose against Connor McDavid and you cannot send two tired Dmen out against them in OT. Holy fuck this coaching staff is incompetent
Probably the most restating losses all season. Misa and Eklund with Sherwood is something to look forward to
reminiscent of not using Gretzky in the shootout
Asky seemed incensed in the post-game interview… i can understand why, you're right he played AMAZING all game, and the coach took a dump on his masterpiece!
glass half-full here, we hung in there with the freakin Oilers (who made the finals the past 2 years) and we almost beat them.. i have a feeling a nice rivarly is brewing here 😉
Brutal. You can’t coach scared. Warso, dude, battles are about attacking, not crossing your fingers.
You predicted the score again. Got a point but it’s a demoralizing loss.
Seems like stupid mistakes from Warso but let's not overreact. Group being mentally strong can have lot to do with coach and I think he is doing a great job overall. In big picture these are quite small details and can easilly be fixed.
i swear askarov cant catch a break…. everyone talks about him struggling but it's not him! like tonight… first goal off orlov's skate, and then klingberg had to count to 3 before he attempted to clear the puck… then 6 on 5 goals while the sharks sat back and let the best offense in the world pass the puck without any type of pressure.. like help the kid out!
Loved and needed this, JD. I’m not a Warso guy and I’ll be honest, I think many of the advanced stats regarding our season, show that we are where we are by Mack brilliance and a bit of puck luck. Our special teams are ineffective and his coaching decisions truly hinder this team. Last nights game took the cake, IMO. For this next phase of our rebuild, we need an experienced/proven NHL coach.
