Sharks fans are especially sensitive to being let down. With all the hype coming into this season, Monday’s 4-0 spanking by the John Tavares-less New York Islanders felt like too much disappointment, even for a Monday morning, even for game number three. Still, discerning fans noticed that Monday’ game was just another in a pattern.
The pattern?
The San Jose Sharks have dominated hockey games this year and not necessarily won those games.
How about a little proof? When Melker Karlsson and Brendan Dillon are leaders of the team in possession stats for a given game, it is very likely that the Sharks had the most heinous of off-nights.
