In past years when the Sharks really weren't very good, they outshot their opponent many times. Unfortunately, that was because the Sharks had fallen behind early and, while the Sharks were taking poor percentage shots that counted as shots, the opposing team was just dumping the puck and taking time off of the clock.<BR/><BR/>While I did not see last night's game on TV, I would surmise that the Sharks kept pressing for quality chances because the score was so close. Meanwhile, Nashville had trouble getting shots because the Sharks were tenacious on defense.<BR/><BR/>Great to see the Sharks rack up a record like this in February/March, as we know that they always have to leave home during February because of the SAP Tennis Tournament.<BR/><BR/>Hope this bodes well for the playoffs . . . and yes, I'll take home ice advantage for the playoffs!Alan Mellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375722438888616535noreply@blogger.com
