The sun rose in the east this morning and the San Jose Sharks lost in Buffalo last night, bringing their all-time record in the Nickel City to 2-15-2. The overtime loss improved San Jose’s point percentage to a sparkling 15.79, if it makes you feel any better. More importantly, the Sharks gained points on the Kings, Ducks and Canucks (the Flames beat the Penguins in a shootout).
So it’s not all bad, right? The Sharks didn’t play all that poorly, either. They controlled play at even strength (and god help them had they not, right?) but poor play while shorthanded did them in against the Sabres.
