In a striking turnaround, San Jose Sharks rookie head coach Ryan Warsofsky ignited his struggling team to a stunning 3-2 comeback victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite being in last place and on an eight-game losing streak, Warsofsky's motivational words about family and the importance of playing a full game resonated with his players. The Sharks rallied in the third period, culminating in a shootout win on Fabian Zetterlund's goal, marking a positive turning point in a challenging season, as they improved to 16-37-9.
We were down on ourselves. I just reminded them there's eight guys in there that have a lot of family and friends here to watch you - they came to watch 60 minutes, not 40.
That one felt good. We needed that one. We've been playing some pretty good hockey and haven't got rewarded for it.
We're not far away. We really have something to build on here.
We feel like we're in these games. We just keep battling.
