Dark Times
The Sharks are in a midst of a 5 game losing streak. They are playing some of the worse hockey I've seen them play in 2 years(except maybe at the end of last year+playoffs). Why am I not sad, or angry? Because now is the perfect time for the weaknesses to show for a team. The Sharks are a little more than 2/5ths of the way through the season. Now is the time for a team to go through a rough patch, work their problems and get through it. However the problem that seems to be rearing it's ugly head right now needs to be fixed, and fixed soon. Blake puts it best here; the Sharks are playing really uninspired hockey...remind anyone of the playoffs last year. However, what I hope is the difference and actually matters is that this problem is showing up now, and not 3 games before the playoffs.

Some bad news is that I read that Boyle was hurt with 5 seconds left. Boyle has quietly turned into my favorite player on the Sharks, behind Nabokov and McGinn. The guy really does everything, putting up big minutes and making big plays. The ultimate D-man. Hopefully he isn't out that long.

Other than that, nothing really on my mind right now.

Oh yea, went to the game versus the Kings...didn't get chicken strips.
