If Hitch really thought Allen's puckhandling was going to dramatically change things then he wasn't paying attention. The Sharks don't dump and chase nearly as often as they did in the McLellan days.
I thought the reason you ride 6 d and 4 lines is so that you can ride 4d in games like this?
Wait a second. The sharks have a new coach, system and different players then 4-5 years ago? When and how is that possible.
