from David Pollak of Working the Corners at the Mercury News,
A common question in the locker room afterward was one that’s been discussed around here since the Sharks fell behind at the start of the series: Do you think this team needs to be broken up at this point?
Most players (and we’re only talking four or five at most) said that really wasn’t up to them and they’d defer to the people who make those decisions. Only one — Rob Blake — said he’d keep the team together. And, considering his contract expires on June 30, did he want to be back for more? Yes, he did.
Me, I wanted to find out what Coach Todd McLellan said to the team in the post-handshake locker room. McLellan said he and his staff said nothing.
“We haven’t talked yet. We left them alone. It’s their time,” he said. “Coaches, they hear us all year. They need to be alone right now, talking to each other. We’ll have many days to talk to them coming up.”
OK, so I asked a few players what they had to say to each other?
As it turns out: Nothing. Just silence.
