The San Jose Sharks experienced a dramatic collapse against the Nashville Predators, losing a 5-1 lead and ultimately falling 6-5. There are feelings of uncertainty about whether strategies, like calling a timeout, could have changed the outcome of the game. After an important moment where the Predators tied the game during a power play, the Sharks' inability to regroup only led to further setbacks, culminating in a game-winning goal by Nick Blankenburg. The underlying issues extend beyond mere coaching decisions.
If only it was just one thing or even a handful of things to fix.
When an entire team collapses, like the San Jose Sharks did in blowing a 5-1 lead to the Nashville Predators.
Would calling a timeout have stopped the bleeding?
I'm not saying that coach Ryan Warsofsky shouldn't have used his timeout ... but that doesn't feel like the reason why the Sharks lost.
