""Win one, lose one, play well, play like shit, just not going to cut it," Reaves told San Jose Hockey Now's Sheng Peng after the game. His comments are one of the reasons why San Jose traded for him in the offseason. The Sharks need players like Reaves who know what it takes to create a winning culture and what happened in Philadelphia is not it."
"The Sharks allowed themselves to get pushed around by the Flyers and has been the case too often this season, if Macklin Celebrini isn't scoring, then the team doesn't seem to have a shot in hell of winning. Celebrini and his linemates were held to a single goal. Of the Sharks four lines, the trio of Celebrini, Will Smith and CollinGraf had the worst Corsi at 5-on-5 according to Natural Stat Trick."
"I don't want to bash John Klingberg because I think he's trying his very best out there. That said, things are not looking good for the defenseman. According to HockeyStatCards, Klingberg was the Sharks' worst defenseman last night. That is no bueno when you realize that Klingberg played the most minutes out of any of the Sharks' defensemen. Klingberg played 22:19 last night, followed by"
The San Jose Sharks continue to alternate wins and losses and cannot sustain winning streaks. The team lost 4-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers and struggled physically. Ryan Reaves said, "Win one, lose one, play well, play like shit, just not going to cut it." The Sharks rely heavily on Macklin Celebrini for scoring; when he and his linemates are limited to a goal, the team lacks a realistic chance to win. The Celebrini-Will Smith-CollinGraf line posted the worst 5-on-5 Corsi among the four forward lines. John Klingberg logged the most minutes yet rated as the team's worst defenseman by HockeyStatCards, indicating defensive issues and depth concerns.
