Time for some Duck Hunting.
It seems like the "true Oiler fans" (re: bandwagonners who probably
"support" another team in the regular season like some "Oiler fans" who
jumped on the Flames' wagon in '04) only crawl out from under their rocks
when the team's doing well.
To the Sharks fans: good series and not just because the Oil managed to
win it. Wilson was right to go back to Toskala despite games 4 and 5, and
Vesa showed why the Sharks made him #1 over Nabokov with all those breakaway
stops. The way I see it, the Sharks just need to solidify their defense-
kids like Carle will learn from this experience and only get better. A good
D-man for anchoring a PP would also help, IMO. The only other piece needed
would be someone aside from Michalek who can play setup man with Marleau.
Of course, they're set on the first line with Thornton/Cheechoo. If Toskala
is going to be the undisputed #1, then perhaps the Sharks can offload
Nabokov's salary to help get the other pieces. Thanks to the Sharks for a
good series and good luck for the next year.
