Every once in a while you have to mark a moment that is profound. This last week was just one of the times. For those of you who know me, I love the San Jose Sharks in the NHL. I watch about sixty games a year on tv and try to catch at least three games a year in person.
But the reality is that hockey is an East Coast/Canada thing. Getting press on ESPN is next to impossible. Unless you're Detroit, New Jersey, Boston, or any Canada team, good luck getting some love.
About five years ago, ESPN started listing power rankings for teams in the NHL. The Sharks, no matter how good they were were usually about six to ten spots below what they should have been. Last year for example, the Sharks had the best record post the Thornton trade. Yet they got no love, finding themselves no better than 12 before the guys running the rankings forgot to post anymore with three weeks to go.
Well this week the Sharks found themselves at the top of the list. WOW! Thanks ESPN
