Statement Or Just Another Game?

Did the San Jose Sharks’ victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night mean anything?
As a gameday primer for Battle of California, I wrote that so-called statement games were really only as important as the next big game. That is, any time adversity came into play, the next game really was The Most Important Game Of The Season.
Saturday held some particular significance, though. Red Wing pundits will point to the fact that the Sharks were at home and Detroit was tired from four games in six nights. Ok, point taken. But the Sharks were missing two of their regular defensemen (Rob Blake, Brad Lukowich) and two of their regular forwards (Torrey Mitchell who’s been out all season, Jeremy Roenick).
