Locked On Sharks
Sharks Mauled, Why It’s Time to Kickstart Rebuild

Kyle, Erik, and JD go over the San Jose Sharks’ crushing loss to the Minnesota Wild. We look at what went wrong, the second power play unit (8:00), how the shifts were spread out (13:30), the Rise of Rudolfs Balcers (16:00), and Burns and Ferraro’s long shifts (18:00). Then we look at the goalies’ performance (25:00) and why it’s time to rip off the Band-Aid and rebuild (29:00).
