As Sharks fans, we should all be used to it by now,
as in the Sharks blowing leads. The Sharks had a 5-1 lead against Nashville on
Tuesday, so they should coast to an easy win, right? Well, no, the Sharks lost,
7-5. Great entertainment for the Predators fans, but not the Sharks fans.
The Sharks blew a lead against the Bruins the day before, losing 6-3.
And at this juncture, the Sharks have the fewest amount of wins in the league,
just 14. On the bright side, we're headed for another early pick in the NHL
draft. But the playoffs are pretty much unachievable for the Sharks at this
point.
For me, it's getting to the point where I find it hard to even
watch the games anymore, with all the losing, losing, losing. The team just
doesn't seem that bad, the but the losses pile up. One concern I have is how
long will top young players like Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and Yaroslav
Askarov put up with all this losing, losing, losing? Will it reach a point
where they ask out of San Jose? I hope not.
FWIW, I like to track
Celebrini, who is such a great player at 18 years old. My two biggest questions
about the games are, did the Sharks win or lose, and did Celebrini have any
points? He had two Tuesday night in Nashville, but it didn't seem to do much
good, except make the final score a little closer.
Another thing that's frustrating is how much time the
Sharks spend in their own end and how little puck possession they have. Can we
get some more offensive chances and keep our goalies from being overworked? The
other team's goalie should probably have a magazine to read, since he faces
fewer shots.
Please, Sharks organization, snap out of this. After all
the losses at the beginning of the season, it seemed like the Sharks had
righted the ship, only to resume with losing, losing, losing again. Take all
the losing and all the empty seats at Sharks games, and San Jose is starting to
look like the Siberia of NHL Hockey. Start winning, Sharks. We've all had
enough of the losing.
That’s Entertainment - Kind
