<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I admire your optimism. Vancouver is 6 points up with 2 games in hand. Winnipeg is 8 points up with 1 game in hand. Calgary and Edmonton are 9 points up. San Jose has to catch two of those four teams while hoping that Nashville doesn't emerge from the doldrums. And San Jose is behind all 5 in regulation wins.

Look at it another way. San Jose will almost certainly need 96 points to get into the post-season. That means recording 52 points in 36 games -- roughly the rate at which Washington and Boston played over the first half of the season. Does this team look anything like Washington or Boston? And my understanding is that Logan Couture will be out for at least a month.

Good luck. At least you have a better chance than my two crummy teams.</div></div>

Watching the sharks the last two weeks, they haven’t won every game but they’re improving everywhere and being consistent. Dell has played extremely well. Most the season under DeBoer, theyd fix one issue and another would arise, Boughner has got them to a place where they can fix problems while maintaining consistency across the board.

Meier, Labanc and Burns have been underachieving this season so far, if they can all have a bounceback in the second half then SJ can still manage to get back in the race without Couture. Kane and Thornton have really picked it up in the last two weeks and when Cooch returns itll be a huge boost.

IF they do manage to get back in the race, Doug tends to reward good play with additions, if the sharks can add a secondary scoring threat at the TDL roughly when Cooch returns and Dell continues his strong play then i think the Sharks can do some damage.

I know most will disagree and some will even be jerks about it but i know what my team is capable of as i have watched almost every game since 99!
