Without Vlasic (and Braun) the Sharks defense is in big trouble. The flames in general this year have been too quick for the sharks. One bit of good news is that Wingles looks like he's ready to play and was taking rushes with Hertl and Tierney. Sharks have been terrible against bad teams this year, but pretty darned good against the good teams. Also, they have managed to bounce back after really bad games and the last one was pretty bad (5-4- loss to CAR at home). If the sharks can win, it won't be pretty. These teams have played some very entertaining games this year, but I suspect that the Sharks are gonna try to trap their way to a low scoring win tonight. Not terribly optimistic.
