The San Jose Sharks flew in the face of criticism following their epic 2014 Stanley Cup choke. They resolved to take a step back in order to take two steps forward and general manager Doug Wilson took a great deal of heat from fans.
Brent Burns answered the only more frequent criticism of Wilson by showing that putting the Wookie on the blue line was the right move. That leaves just two camps of criticism—those that think the Sharks should not have taken a step back and those that think they should have taken two.
