Patrick Marleau scored twice as the San Jose Sharks recorded the most decisive road victory in franchise history, and then some. Marleau scored both of his goals in the opening five minutes and San Jose never looked back, routing the lowly Calgary Flames, 8-0. The Sharks had six other goal scorers en route to their biggest road win. On November 11, they matched a franchise record for margin of victory away from home with a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders. When we get a good forecheck out, we can bottle teams up and tonight we played a pretty good road game.
Every point is crucial.
The Western Conference is so tight and we want to make sure we keep pace with the rest of the conference. It's pretty far down the scale. It's rock bottom. But this team has been rock bottom for the past four years, not making the playoffs. I think the organization might be taking a step backward.
