He's been working off of injuries and his head getting to big to carry these past two seasons. This year he looks like the old Cheech that scored 56 goals in a season.Originally Posted by Spank_Me_Hard
Saw that the Sharks smoked Anaheim... a good team. Cheechoo looked pretty good on the stat sheet. I think that guy is a complete SNIPER who's just had a few off years.
Also saw that Vancouver smoked Calgary... didn't see that coming.
Oil doesn't play until Sunday... I can't WAIT!
There were three major things that changed with the head coach switch, that I noticed at least:
1) Sharks work ethic. They worked hard, every friken shift. Sharks have had a bad tendency to try and protect a slim lead. I know, I saw most of last seasons games.
2) The power play was scary good. None of this standing around crap they did all of last season. Quick passes, all players cycling, and getting that puck to the net.
3) Penalty kill. Sharks were great last season with it and this season they look even better. Why? because they're sacrificing the body to block shots. Their timing on shot blocking was also great.
Bottom line, I think the Sharks looked a lot like Detroit on Thursday. Wonder why.
