MacLellan completely lost me after a game where the Sharks were playing on the East Coast. I can't remember if it was MSG or maybe against the Islanders. It was a matinee game and the Sharks had already been out East for 4-5 days. It definitely wasn't their first game on the trip or in the time zone. So it was a 1:00 PM start and they got blitzed and his response was something like ''Well, this a 1:00 PM game and start time, so this is like playing a 10:00 AM game our time'' being the reason they lost. It was dumb.
Then there was another presser after they had like a bad losing streak or the Sharks had lost like 8 or 9 of 10 or 11 games and he looked like he was drunk when he said something ''Well, we're not playing badly''. It sounded like someone who was not in a good state of mind. Even watching it, it looked really hilarious. You had to watch this presser to see the context here and see what I mean. Just really casually he says ''We're not playing badly'' he even had this smile and little smirk on his face when he said it. It looked like the kind of smile you'd have on your face when you know your GM isn't gonna can you and he didn't for at least another couple years after that one.
