Patrick Sharp is a veteran.
He thoughtfully answers questions in measured tones.
He defers to his coaches when being asked about strategy or line combinations
He compliments his teammates, new and old.
He’s really kind of boring when you get right down to it…and he’s exactly what the Stars need.
Sharp was introduced to the Dallas media Monday in a press conference at American Airlines Center. The 33-year-old winger was cordial and enthusiastic and smart. He talked about the positive buzz that’s surrounding the team right now after the acquisition of himself, defenseman Johnny Oduya and Antti Niemi, and he stopped short of saying the team is now ready for a big surge.
