San Jose Sharks
Does Karlsson Need to Shoot More? That’s Not the Problem
It’s hard out here for an Erik Karlsson.
He’s not the only San Jose Sharks star who’s yet to provide consistent high-level play during the team’s disappointing 4-5-1 start.
“It’s not where we want it to be,” Karlsson himself admitted about his overall performance right now.
But it’s a tale as old as time in sports: When you’re not only the team’s highest-paid player, but the league’s highest-paid defenseman, you’re expected to dominate every night.
When you don’t – and you haven’t consistently since Jan. 2019 – you’re going to hear it.
Sure, it’s unfair: But mo money, mo problems.
Also part of a struggling superstar’s grind? Your game is examined at a microscopic level.
One of the more recent criticisms of Karlsson? He’s not shooting enough. Is this true?
