Have the Sharks returned?

The Sharks have not been very good lately but playing back on the home ice will likely change their fortunes. The Sharks beat up on the Oilers the other night. In what was mostly a one sided game, it was a good change. I would think to keep up the intensity would be tough, especially when you are missing a few key guys to injuries and you have like a 20 point lead on the next team.

I guess the only thing really left to play for is the #1 seed in the west, which as nice as it would be, isn’t the end of the world if you end up with the #2 seed. I think that has played a big part in the late lapses by the Sharks. While for other teams every game matters a lot more and they come out 150% to the sharks half ass. Either way, despite the poor play of late, I think the Sharks will still end the season as the #1 seed, and hopefully, just hopefully, they are healthy and motivated come playoff time. It should be fun.
