Former Sharks coach Todd McLellan used to have his own phrase for winning ugly, referring to such occurrences as “not a Picasso.”
Current coach Pete DeBoer didn't drop any modern art references after the Sharks' 3-2 win in Detroit on Friday, but he still recognized that the Sharks probably didn’t have their best game, generating just 14 shots on goal to the Wings’ 28.
