Road Trip from Hell Ends
Damn...the scheduling gods must not like the San Jose Sharks. Lord
knows I don't.
The Sharks just returned from a 10-game road trip that started out
in Phoenix, then went to the Midwest, then to Florida, then
Michigan, then New York and finally to Washington.
Yeah, that's gotta suck.
The Sharks finished the trip 4-5-1. Not great, but it could have
been a lot worse. The trip started off poorly, with the Sharks
losing the first two games. But then Mike Vernon got hot and San
Jose won four straight. Vernon helped yield the Sharks' opponents
to four goals in those four games. He was named the NHL player of
the week for his efforts.
San Jose tied the next game with Florida, then ran out of steam.
The Sharks finished the trip by losing back-to-back-to-back games
against the Red Wings, Sabres and Capitals.
Ten games in 16 days on the road was a terrible experience. But the
outcome could have been a lot worse. The Sharks could have suffered
a total collapse, but as is, they are still in the playoff picture.
Thanks to an extremely weak Western Conference, the Sharks are in
seventh place despite having a 20-25-13 record.
In other news, the Sharks are no closer to landing Theo Fleury. The
Flames winger said he will not accept any contracts the rest of this
season and instead take his chances in the offseason.
That be the news. I'm out.
