Sharks v Ducks

Tonight the Sharks take on the Ducks for the second time in three days. The Sharks are looking strong in there past five games going 3-2 and they are winning with JR and Cheech out of the lineup.

The Sharks are leading the Ducks in most Offensive and Defensive stats going into tonights game. It will be a fun game to watch, as all of these rivalry games are. Sharks are at the top in the Pacific but they need every point they can get to fend off the surging Stars. It is still early in the season and the Sharks have not been consistent enough to be labeled a sure pick in the West. However, what I have seen is promising. Lets face it, the Sharks have a phenomenal team but they are mentally weak. When things begin to break down in a game, it breaks down hard and fast. This is the time for the Sharks to begin strengthening their mental game. When they get behind by a goal or two, they need to keep it close and give themselves a chance... we all know they are capable of doing that, it is time for them to prove it to themselves.
