NYIFC Comments:
No way the Sharks were coming back here again, or was the NHL going to lose another early UBS payday before attendance/secondary market start dropping. For players in hibernation one practice is not enough for only a few players whether they were sick or not.
And even healthy there is no hiding this teams issues which 13 road games made very clear which the standings proved out.
#NYI #isles New York for those living in their own reality need 86 of 130 points remaining to finish with 98 points. Given struggles/age/lack of speed/scoring that's simply not possible. They can only afford 21 losses in 65 games. In other words 44 games over 500.
