Sharks vs Knights
The San Jose Sharks are a great team.
With Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns on the blueline, they’re not only one of the most fun teams in the league to watch, they also happen to be completely dominant…….if both guys are healthy.
It appears that Karlsson will play, and if he’s anything close to 100% then lookout. He remains, by a nearly incomprehensible distance, the best defenseman in the NHL.
The Sharks also have a bunch of players that you might not know if you don’t watch a ton of out of market games or aren’t a Sharks fan.
Tomas Hertl, Timo Meir, Kevin LeBlanc, Marcus Sorensen, the list goes on. These are guys every hockey fan should know, however, because, like the team they play for, they are awesome.
The Sharks had four guys with over 30 goals, and nine players with 15.
They had eight players hit 50 points and would have had nine easily if Karlsson wasn’t injured down the stretch.
Do I even wanna talk about the Knights?
Nah, no point. They had their fun last year, and unless Marc Andre Fleury is Batman, then it’s San Jose in five games.
