State of the Sharks… going into the all-star break

Two for Elbowing: State of the Sharks… going into the all-star break:


A bit behind on complaining about writing about the Sharks, so here’s some catch-up moving into the All Star Weekend.

Detroit game: In case anyone was wondering, Detroit is clearly is clearly a better team than the Sharks. I actually think the talent is fairly close (and I think sharks goaltending is much better) — but Detroit has the committment and discipline to implement and follow the system more than the Sharks do.

I haven’t mentioned this for a while, so…. If you’re reading this blog and wondering why I never talk about hockey (or sports in general) any more, it’s because you’re probably not reading our other blog, Two for Elbowing, which is all about hockey, the Sharks, and whatever else I decide belongs over there involving sports.. feel free to stop on by and try to cross-check me into a corner…
