The San Jose Sharks evidently felt like a change was needed after a disappointing 15-16-2 start to their season. But make no mistake about it, just because that change has occurred, that doesn’t mean that the team has been fixed.
The Sharks made the decision to fire head coach Peter DeBoer on Wednesday after a little under four-and-a-half years with the team. And in each season, he had led the Sharks to the postseason, never quite reaching the Stanley Cup Finals appearance heights of his first season.
But alas, the team clearly felt that DeBoer wasn’t maximizing the talent at his disposal and let him go.
