What's the Sharks' problem?

I 100% guarantee they come around. There is so much more time left in the season, its not like they are way out of the playoffs or anything.

They have a bunch of proven scorers who are simply not producing. That said they have been a wonderful defensive team this year. The fact that their problem is offense leads me to believe that they will turn it around in a big way. Right not Thorton is the only one scoringand the other teams can just focus on him.

1. Lack offense

2. dont have the same powerplay as they did last year

3. defensive tragedies. ex: defenders lose the puck at the blue line and the other team gets a breakaway

4. coaching staff needs to get to the basics

most important #5 - i think that since its only the regular season they are not trying as hard but come to playoffs and march they will be playing their best hockey EvER

go sharks

1. Sharks need a franchise D ... at least one.

2. Nabby is good ... Thornton is good .. but Marleau is not that good anymore.

SJ still a very good team but they need a really good D

heck no i dont agree!!

there road record is amazing but their home record sucks. yes i know....

they had people on the IR and the sharks are collapsing. Ryane Clowe DUI. yes...but i will go one...

We will survire. they will have bad games and good games but will always comeback in it soon. Cheechoo of IR. BRad Norton of IR soon. Doug Murray Off IR soon. and the biggest..

(dark suprising music)

MAtt Carle trade! I likes him but now hes playing like @#$%.

I mean The sharks iwll get back in it. Just acouple of good goals hights hits and im sure the sharks will do fine until playoffs and the second half of the season.

You can either blame Doug Wilson and his inability to get the team over the hump... or the fact that the team simply chokes in the clutch. On paper, they're in the top 5 in talant... but I doubt they will get past the Red Wings or Ducks in the West.

I think they're doing quite good actually if you take a look at their stats. Nabokov is actually a pretty good goalie in my opinion. Thorton just has to put the team into line and everything should be fine. Plus it's only december, you never know what they could whip out in the new year.

Maybe it's not the Shark's problem. Maybe it's the expectations of the fans.

Are the northern most California fans a little jealous of the southern ones with their shiny new cup?

they still got nabby in net and he still has the most wins, i think thornton needs to get his wingers in line, if he had setoguchi and michalek he would do just fine, relax, it's still early in the season

GM for sure, if they fired him they would be winning. And not enough support in San Jose.

They need to shut down the wet bar.
