Games 2 & 3: Back-to-Backes

Last night's loss to the Blues comes after the 1-0 road loss to the Ducks.  It's no big deal.  It was the first of three instances of back-to-back games the Sharks have in three weeks.

I was at the ducks game, at least the second two periods.  Greiss looked good in that game, but the Sharks' coordination, especially on the powerplay, looked really bad.  There were many passes to no one and even more directly to or through ducks players.  Brent Burns, in particular, seemed to be struggling to coordinate with the others.  He will get it together, I have faith, but it looks like it may be a much slower process than I had anticipated.

Sharks Sign Brent Burns to 5-Year Extension

press release @ sjsharks.com

This is awesome!  When we traded Devin Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle, and a first-round draft pick for this guy in June, he had only one year left on his contract.  For what we gave up to get him, that's not nearly enough.  But now he will be a mainstay of our blueline for a projected 6 years!  Huzzah!
