| San Jose would have loved to hold onto that fourth seed but a few losses to end crushed that. Great at home but 8-12-4 on the road. | ||

| That was a big loss to the Blue Jackets at home. Despite losing that one, they've been the best home team in hockey and they could really use that fourth seed. That loss hurts those chances. | ||

| After getting back on track, it wasn't a good week for the Sharks, who've lost three of their last four. Overall scoring is still a concern, as the Sharks are 27th in the NHL in goals per game, but the back end is not, and that includes the PK. Thanks, Larry Robinson. | ||

| Wait, are the Sharks "back?" That's four wins in a row including a home-and-home sweep of the Ducks. ... All I know is that it's time Antti Niemi got a little support from the offense again. | ||

| All is still not well in San Jose. The Sharks have lost seven of their past nine and are now below the playoff cut line. Could they actually be sellers at the trade deadline? | ||

| This team is second to last in the NHL with 2.22 goals per game. Will they be one of those teams that's hot and heavy after scoring at the deadline? They seem to have the D. | ||

| Tough break on Sunday, getting beat the buzzer like that in Colorado. It capped a rough week with three straight losses. But they do have points in 6 of 7. | ||
| 03/04/2013 | 12 | 15 |
| Five out of six points in their last three games is a nice rebound for an ugly slump. But the offense is still not scoring goals, which is kind of crazy considering their roster. Their 47 goals are second fewest in the West, although 44 against is best in the West. | ||

| They finally snapped the seven-game skid by beating the Blues, and then promptly started another losing streak by falling to Dallas and Chicago. But they go home for a few now; maybe that will get them going. They better hope. | ||

| You have to admit, it's pretty impressive to follow up a seven-game winning streak with a seven-game losing streak. This feels like some kind of law of nature; as hot as they were, they are as cold now. | ||

| San Jose still oozes with potential; it's just a matter of putting it all together. ... Joe Thornton doesn't get enough attention for how good he is but he's not even the most underrated Joe on the team; that would be Joe Pavelski. ... Coach Todd McLellan needs to win. | ||
