Progress in the National Hockey League doesn’t always show up right away. Sometimes it’s not about wins or losses. It’s about how you respond when games start to slip.
For the San Jose Sharks, that response has started to change. Timothy Liljegren has seen it firsthand.
“You can kind of notice that we don’t give up in games,” Liljegren said. Even when things don’t start their way, the fight stays. He pointed to comebacks and efforts as proof that this group isn’t checking out when the score gets a bit lopsided.
The Sharks are still a young team.
