Sharks feel fortunate assistant coach Boughner still around

SAN JOSE – Day four of Sharks training camp brought with it increased special teams work, especially the penalty kill, as assistant coach Bob Boughner slowly walked two separate groups through the team’s system in a pair of practices.

The Sharks consider themselves fortunate that Boughner is still here on Pete DeBoer’s staff, after he was a finalist for the head coaching job in Colorado. Patrick Roy resigned the post on August 11, and the Avalanche eventually hired Jared Bednar on August 25, but not before giving serious consideration to the man who oversees the Sharks’ defense and PK.
