wow.. so much ignorance in this blog of yours .. i wonder how do you live with yourself.
The Sharks need more players like CLowe? what they are not slow enough? Can't you see how some of the top teams dance around the middle of the ice while your Clowe's and Fatbutts waddle in the O-zone?
And I love how you quickly rag on Havlat not realizing his poor contribution has more with the coach than it has with the player.
It's really not Havlat's fault Mcleelloo is forcing a slow game to allow your CLowe's and Fattbutts and Juicys to stay in the play , it's not his fault he was cast into a 3rd line grinder role ( a la Clowe), it's really not his fault that Mcleelloo failed to read his real strengths.
and I really love your playoff references .. an area where Havlat actually excelled in the past .. you'd know that if you actually payed attention.
It seems to me you are not exactly a student of the game .. just another opinionated hack who thinks he knows what he's watching .. even though he doesn't watch much.
Actually knowing how the Sharks org operates I wouldn't be surprised if they thought somewhere along your silly lines.
and thanks .. but I prefer my stick where it is ... safely tucked.

Wow...my sincerest apologies to Sharksfan48, who I thought for sure was one and the same with sharksman here...I even stated so back in an old thread. After reading just a couple of comments from sharksman, Sharksfan48 seems almost congenial.
Hard to say how well or poorly Havlat fits in with McLellan's system. He started the season late, then played what, 20 to 25 games and then got predictably injured right when he was really starting to get his game going it seemed.
