It has been a long time since we’ve seen Mario Ferraro smile this much after a game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to keep it cool, right?\u201d the long-time San Jose Sharks defenseman said after a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday night. \u201cObviously, I\u2019m excited about what I see right now. I really want to push for playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playoffs?!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a word that has been said in San Jose in November in a long time.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Sharks are just 16 games into the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long season,\u201d Ferraro said. \u201cPersonally, from a team standpoint, we know we still got work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

But who could blame the Sharks lifer, part of six straight seasons out of the playoffs, if he\u2019s excited? At 7-6-3, it\u2019s the first time that the perennial cellar-dwellers have been over .500 since they were 28-27-8 on March 22, 2022.<\/p>\n
