A matter of WILL?
Sharks need to pick it up against tougher competition
by Mike Lee
Where to begin? Yeah this is yet another column along a road that has been traversed countless times before. The San Jose Sharks sit atop the NHL's Western Conference yet the fans and critics are once again at their throats. The Sharks 4-2 defeat last week at the hands of their arch-nemesis the Detroit Red Wings has, once again, fueled the fires of the critically vocal. Once again the Bay Area's hockey franchise bowed to a team that it knows is an important team to overcome. In fact there are really only two teams in the league that the fans, critics and players really, truly, gage themselves upon; the Wings and The Chicago Blackhawks.

by Mike Lee
If the Sharks hope to go deep into the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs, they’re going to need some gritty performances to get the job done. Chalk up Saturday night’s 4-3 win in Nashville as a prime example of how grit on the road can lead to reward. The Sharks overcame three deficits against a determined Nashville Predator lineup to take two points from their hosts at the Sommet Center . Dany Heatley scored a power play goal with 8 minutes to play, capping the hard nosed comeback.
