I’ve been cautiously optimistic. That’s why I said if they continue to play like they were. Kane has fit in perfect here. He has looked great in pretty close to every game he has played with us. Guerin was always not what we expected. Here’s the thing about San Jose. If everyone plays up to their potential we will be great. We have 3 great lines, a solid top 4, one of the better fourth lines, and a goalie that can take over games. Our major problem is on the third pairing and that’s only because of DeBoer’s insistence on playing DeMelo instead of Heed. The main things we were missing at the beginning of the year were an elite top line center (which Pavelski has been playing like lately but more than likely unsustainable) and another top 6 forward (which like it or not, Kane definitely is) so with the amount of depth we have Kane doesn’t have to do it all which seems to be where he excels.I'm sorry but I just can't help but laugh at posts like Kane will be a PPG player. Not you, the guy above.
He's extremely inconsistent.
At the beginning of the season he was a PPG player for abour 2 months, of course thanks in part to the guy in my AV who did most of the work, watching Kane go goaless for 19 straight games after Eichel switched lines was interesting.
I know he's done well in SJ but I see this a lot like Bill Guerin's addition to the Sharks. Was that in 07? It didn't work so well.
But FULL MARKS TO YOUR SHARKS, they have snuck up on everyone this year, your coach seems great, you guys proved you could do it in the post-season.
I just have to see Kane perform well in the playoffs to believe it.
If I'm wrong, like I said, I'll eat my words and give him full marks.
