BUFFALO, N.Y. — As consistency issues continue to plague the Sharks eight weeks into the season, the team is relaying a message to its fans: stick with us.
Heading into Tuesday’s showdown with the Buffalo Sabres (16-6-2), Sharks fans are outraged that a team considered to be among the most talented in franchise history isn’t performing like Stanley Cup contenders. Some are going as far as to call for Pete DeBoer’s job, assuming that the team’s inability to find consistency on the defensive side of the puck is an indication that the head coach has lost the room.
