At least the Sharks’ fate is staring them right in the face now. If they win their last two regular season games, they will have home ice in the playoffs. They face Edmonton on Thursday and Calgary on Saturday, both at SAP Center.
But does anyone out there in the studio audience honestly think that the weary Sharks will win both games against those hot young teams?
Anyone? Still waiting for a response. Hello?
The Sharks are not a beautiful hockey enterprise these days. Injuries to Logan Couture (mouth implosion after being hit by a deflected puck) and Joe Thornton (ugly knee train wreck) have thrown the team into uncharted territory.
