Drastic Moves Needed In San Jose

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
At the start of the playoffs, we posed this question of the San Jose Sharks: if not now, when?
And in the wake of yet another stunning playoff collapse, the answer seems patently obvious: never.
At least not until dramatic changes are made with a franchise that has become California’s hockey answer to the Chicago Cubs. A team that in many ways is the model franchise in its uncanny ability to identify, draft and develop young players without the benefit of high draft picks is also a team, at the risk of hurting some feelings in the congenial Sharks organization) quite clearly lacking anything resembling heart.

I disagree with anyone who immediately after a playoff loss goes off the handle saying massive changes needed to be made. It’s just stupid. It’s that sort of logic that tears good teams apart. Winning the playoffs is only part skill, the rest is a coin toss. This is a team that pulled away and won the President’s Trophy with authority. They’ll be fine.
See you next year, Sharks fans, stay classy.
