\u201cWe can skate with the best of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The San Jose Sharks, four games into the season, had a tolerable 0-2-2 record. But in truth, challenging Ty Dellandrea\u2019s statement, they were getting skated out of buildings.<\/p>\n
One measure of this, from their 7-6 OT loss to the Anaheim Ducks, 5-1 defeat to the Carolina Hurricanes, and 6-3 loss to the Utah Mammoth, Games 2-4 of the season, the Sharks had a 32.3 Corsi For % at 5-on-5. Essentially, for every three of their own shot attempts, San Jose was giving up seven.<\/p>\n
While Corsi isn\u2019t a be-all, end-all stat, you don\u2019t need the eye test to tell you three shots for seven is a bad trade.<\/p>\n
So head coach Ryan Warsofsky and his coaching staff made a tactical adjustment that might have changed the course of the San Jose Sharks\u2019 season.<\/p>\n
Macklin Celebrini, Collin Graf, and Dellandrea also spoke to this adjustment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe can skate with the best of them.\u201d The San Jose Sharks, four games into the season, had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[17520,17521,3524,93,15593,1035,24011,1036,88,90,89,98,4254,3577],"class_list":["post-33233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-1-1-3","tag-2-1-2","tag-collin-graf","tag-featured","tag-forecheck","tag-macklin-celebrini","tag-neutral-zone","tag-ryan-warsofsky","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-sjhn","tag-ty-dellandrea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
