Following a disheartening 6-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken, San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky opted for a rigorous practice rather than a day off. Acknowledging the need for a cultural shift within the team, Warsofsky emphasized the inconsistency in their performance, especially when trailing. The practice aimed to combat the players' tendency to give in during tough situations, showcasing a commitment to improvement even as the team struggles in last place. The leaders in the hockey operations department were present to reinforce the seriousness of the situation.
Look, I get it. I get the trade deadline is around the corner. I get where we are. We're not in the playoffs. I get that the human mind can drift and not be extremely focused. But our organization needs to draw a line in the sand. The culture is changing, and we're not going to be a team that just gives up, no matter what the lead or the score is.
Right now, we have give in our game when we get down, and that needs to change very quickly.
