The San Jose Sharks lack buy-in from every player.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what head coach Ryan Warsofsky admitted to post-game, and it was apparent on the ice, as the Ottawa Senators ran the home team out of their own building, 5-1.<\/p>\n

Michael Misa<\/a> scored the lone goal.<\/p>\n

Sharks tools<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re 15 games into it, and we probably still haven\u2019t played really a complete game,\u201d Warsofsky complained. \u201cMaybe Florida, but that was so long [ago].\u201d<\/p>\n

Warsofsky suggested changes on the way for the San Jose\u2019s next contest, Michael Misa spoke about the hard Tyler Kleven hit, Kiefer Sherwood<\/a> had some issue with his game misconduct, and Barclay Goodrow<\/a> tried to diagnose everything going wrong with the Sharks on the ice.<\/p>\n

A deeper game story with micro-stats from Stathletes and game action clips, Sharks Insight, will be published soon.<\/p>\n

Ryan Warsofsky<\/p>\n

Warsofsky, on the Senators:<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a really good team. I think it\u2019s probably the best team we\u2019ve seen this year. Obviously, seen them twice now. They\u2019re a good team. They\u2019re fast. They\u2019re connected. They\u2019re competitive. They\u2019re into people. They got snarl.<\/p>\n

Warsofsky, on if some San Jose Sharks players lack buy-in:<\/p>\n

Absolutely. We got to work on that.<\/p>\n

Warsofsky, on the frustration of dealing with lack of buy-in a month into season:<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s probably the most frustrating thing, right? We\u2019re 15 games into it, and we probably still haven\u2019t played really a complete game. Maybe Florida, but that was so long [ago].<\/p>\n

Are #SJSharks<\/a> lacking some buy-in from the players?<\/p>\n

“Absolutely. We got to work on that,” Warsofsky says.<\/p>\n

Says the coaching staff will look at everything, including benchings, playing time & their own systems, in terms of getting team out of rut<\/p>\n

Warsofsky, on if his fourth line is providing a consistent identity:<\/p>\n

Probably not consistent enough. I think we see it in spurts, and I think that\u2019s our team right now. We see it in spurts. We don\u2019t see it consistently enough.<\/p>\n

Warsofsky, on if he has tools at his disposal to get the guys going:<\/p>\n

I think there is. Looks, sometimes, the best tool a coach has is to take someone out, take away ice time. So we\u2019ll look at everything.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Michael Misa<\/p>\n

Misa, on the Tyler Kleven hit:<\/p>\n

That was my fault. I gotta be better, keep my head up there. I was trying to make a play. I thought I had a step on him, obviously didn\u2019t. I gotta be better. Gotta look next time, chip that by him, and get on the offense there.<\/p>\n

Misa, on the Senators:<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a great team. Well-coached. Their style of play, they move the pucks out quick, get it in our zone, and they made it tough on us tonight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kiefer Sherwood<\/p>\n

Sherwood, on his game misconduct for (possibly) getting into it with Samuel Ersson:<\/p>\n

I got a lot of respect for our refs and linesmen in our league. They have a hard job to do. But there\u2019s no warning. There\u2019s nothing like I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s I don\u2019t know. Like I don\u2019t think I did anything wrong. I try to get under guy\u2019s skin at certain times to get ourselves the momentum. If there\u2019s a problem, then I need to be pulled aside or get a warning or something. You can\u2019t just give a 10 minute for yapping or I don\u2019t know. Emotions got picked up there a little bit with Misa being hit. I obviously cannot put our team in that position either. My fault on taking the 10. But I also think that it could have been handled maybe a little bit better. We\u2019ll look at that both sides. I can\u2019t put our team in that position. But yeah, at the same time, I don\u2019t know what warranted a 10-minute misconduct.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s between me and the goalie [what was said]. Like I said, the heat of the emotions of the game picked up. I got a lot of respect for the refs. They have a hard job, and they\u2019re always the villains to both teams, right? I didn\u2019t say anything inappropriate, it was just trying to get under his skin before we get our power play. That\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do. I try to, like I said, get under a guy\u2019s skin at certain times of the game, and try to use the momentum to our favor, and that plays out in a lot of different ways over the course of the game. Yeah, I don\u2019t know if it warranted a 10, but I apologize for putting ourselves in that position because it can\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

Sherwood, on the Senators:<\/p>\n

They just kind of smother all over the ice, right? They pinch on everything. Sometimes it\u2019s good, sometimes? But they\u2019re just in your face. So I think that\u2019s something that we got to do more of moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Barclay Goodrow<\/p>\n

Goodrow, on what\u2019s wrong with the San Jose Sharks:<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a little bit of everything. If we\u2019re not breaking up pucks well, we\u2019re giving up lots of shots, and then in the O-zone, we\u2019re not getting enough pucks to the net. Just don\u2019t have the shooting mind-set. Obviously, we need to get shots against down and shots for up.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Jose Sharks lack buy-in from every player.
