Without the presence of Joe Thornton in the lineup, the San Jose Sharks refuse to give up. No matter the deficit or time remaining, resilience has become an identity of these players.
A trait that became rooted in this team back in December.
Recent evidence of the Sharks’ never quit grinding resolve came last weekend in Anaheim. San Jose was coming off a 6-4 win over Edmonton before making a flight down to Orange County.
The Ducks took an early 1-0 lead, but the Sharks began dominating play in the second period.
