Who are the real Sharks?
Is it the more professional group that had the Las Vegas Golden Knights on the ropes on opening night, before a series of unbelievable circumstances resulted in a 4-3 OT loss?
Speaking of the offseason addition of 30-something blueliners Dmitry Orlov, Nick Leddy, and John Klingberg, head coach Ryan Warsofsky said, “Their experience really helps in crucial situations and momentum swings.”
Or is it the frazzled group that was outshot 42-23 by the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, on the way to a 7-6 OT defeat?
“We need some poise. Chucking pucks around in the defensive zone, on breakouts, out of D-zone structure, just chucking it around,” Warsofsky said. “They were all over us.”
This wasn’t a youngster versus veteran problem against the Ducks.
