SAN JOSE — The Sharks know full well the most dangerous scorer they'll be facing when they take on the St. Louis Blues in the NHL Western Conference finals starting Sunday — young, speedy Russian right wing Vladimir Tarasenko.Tarasenko, 24, finished fourth in the NHL in goal scoring with 40, two ahead of the Sharks' Joe Pavelski, and he has continued the assault in the postseason with seven goals and six assists in the first two rounds of the playoffs.But Sharks coach Pete DeBoer maintained overloading defensively on Tarasenko isn't the wisest idea."Obviously, Tarasenko's a special talent, but we'd be making a mistake by just focusing on him," DeBoer said.
