Peter DeBoer doesn’t want to hear any excuses.
The Sharks’ coach pays no attention to the regular-season’s condensed schedule or the fact so many of his key players participated in the World Cup of Hockey before preseason. Injuries, bad breaks, tough losses. He’ll listen to none of it.
“Everybody has stuff to deal with but we have to find a way,” DeBoer said Friday. “The bottom line is it’s a razor-thin edge and we’ve been on the wrong side of it a couple of these games. When we went on a run last year we found a way to be on the right side of that.
