Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread
The Sharks may pull it out. If not I think its time to look at changing some big pieces as its not working. They are the bigger faster team and if they decide to skate like they did in games 1-3 I think they can win. The puck pursuit is slower and everyone is playing scared. The other issue is if they let the wings win the psych advantage which was gone will be renewed. Really a bad situation for the Sharks. They are scared to lose and not playing their usual game. The problem is the people that are supposed to be carrying the team are afk as usual in the playoffs and the guys who often carry them have not been coming through as much. On paper the Sharks are the better team, but as I said last night the heart/pride is missing. The playoffs is all about heart/pride. I really thought these days were behind the Sharks, but it is looking like same old $hit. I am pulling hard for the boys, and believe they can win if they just play their game.
