Joe Pavelski was frustrated after Thursday’s 5-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The San Jose Sharks captain noted, of his team’s defensive inconsistency, “We haven’t played to our identity. We do it for a few minutes. Then all of a sudden, there’s a breakaway.”
These breakdowns were addressed in a recent meeting.
”We said we have the talent to not force the offense,” acknowledged Aaron Dell. “It was kind of a we got to figure out, address it, move forward thing. It wasn’t a get yelled at thing.
